    Meanwhile, the Chief Minister said the girls have once again outshone the boys in the result, adding the state government will felicitate these bright students with a cash award of Rs 51,000 soon.

    He said this is the result of the concerted efforts being made by the government to spread the light of quality education in every nook and corner of Punjab.
