the Punjab government has created 35 posts of lectures in the subject of Saraiki in three divisions of south Punjab, it is learnt.
The subject will be introduced at Higher Secondary School (Intermediate) level from the next academic session and initially 35 colleges of three divisions, namely Multan, Bahawalpur and Dera Ghazi Khan, will offer the new subject.
Sources privy to the development said the subject of Saraiki was earlier offered at graduation level only and that too in only two colleges of Multan districts while at the post-graduation level, it was being offered at the Bahauddin Zakariya University (BZU), Multan, and the Islamia University, Bahawalpur (IUB), etc. They said the move was aimed at addressing grievances of southern belt of Punjab where the demand for a separate province was becoming intense with the passage of time. The demand for a separate province was also highlighted by many parliamentarians in the Punjab Assembly recently.
The elected representatives have been voicing their concerns that the Saraiki belt has not received the attention it deserved, especially in terms of development projects. The incumbent Punjab government claims to give priority to the south Punjab and the fresh move was being seen a step in this direction.
