LAHORE:<\/strong> Punjab Chief Minister Maryam Nawaz<\/strong> has approved the Maryam Nawaz Centre of Academic Leadership<\/strong> pilot project, alongside plans to establish elite schools and improve access to clean drinking water in areas facing water quality issues across the province.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The approval was granted during a meeting chaired by the chief minister in Lahore, where officials also received approval to establish Aitchison College-level boys\u2019 and girls\u2019 schools<\/strong> in Punjab.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

According to a briefing presented during the meeting, the first Maryam Nawaz Centre of Academic Leadership<\/strong> will be constructed on Wahdat Road in Lahore<\/strong> to provide modern educational facilities for both male and female students.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The proposed campus will feature a range of academic and sports facilities, including a state-of-the-art sports hall<\/strong>, hockey and cricket stadiums<\/strong>, as well as horse-riding facilities<\/strong> and a swimming pool<\/strong> for students.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Chief Minister Maryam Nawaz said the institution would have the capacity to enroll 5,000 male students and 5,000 female students<\/strong>, enabling a total of 10,000 students<\/strong> to receive education at the new academic center.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The initiative is part of the provincial government’s broader efforts to enhance educational standards by providing modern infrastructure and facilities comparable to those available at leading educational institutions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In a separate meeting chaired by the chief minister, the Punjab government also decided to activate water bottling plants<\/strong> in areas where residents face problems due to poor-quality drinking water.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Under the plan, bottled drinking water will initially be transported by trucks to residents in Khushab, Dera Ghazi Khan, Bahawalpur, and Rahim Yar Khan<\/strong>, where water quality concerns have been identified.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The government further announced plans to install more than 2,000 water filtration plants<\/strong> across Punjab to improve access to safe drinking water for communities throughout the province.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Officials said the projects are intended to strengthen educational infrastructure while addressing public health challenges linked to unsafe drinking water, particularly in underserved and water-scarce regions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The approved initiatives are expected to be implemented in phases, with the academic leadership center serving as a pilot project and the clean water program focusing first on the districts most affected by poor water quality.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
