Chandigarh: Everyone is realizing the need for radical changes in the existing education system to address the problems of youth in backward areas and backward classes, Society for Education and Awareness in Backward Areas in its Lehra Gaga School has taken the first step in this direction by implementing the Shabd Langar Personalised Futuristic Curriculum (SLPFC).

Amarjit Singh Grewal, Advisor of Shabd Langar said that in the Sikh tradition the langar of education has been given equal importance as the langar of food. The Gurdwaras too were conceived as centres of learning among other things. Understanding the importance of this, the role of Gurdwaras in imparting the futuristic curriculum has been included.
The project director of Shabd Langar, Dr. Sonu Grewal said that in order to realize the dream of Amarjit Singh Grewal, a powerful app and high-quality content has been developed and a new policy has been introduced to address the problems related to education. Under this, 360-degree learning of school children and training of teachers for flipped teaching has been included on priority basis.
