Sindh Govt Promotes Simplicity: Ends Gift-Giving Tradition in Educational Institutions

The Sindh government has taken a significant step towards promoting simplicity and discipline in official events by abolishing the tradition of welcoming guests with children and gifting ajrak, caps, and other presents at educational institutions. A formal notification has been issued by the School Education and Literacy Department, directing all directors, principals, and headmasters to implement these changes immediately.
The notification specifically states that the tradition of presenting ajrak, Sindhi caps, or any gifts during official functions has been discontinued. Additionally, the practice of having children welcome guests, delegates, and officers of the secretariat must be stopped. This move aims to bring about a change in the cultural norms and practices that have been prevalent in Sindh.
The Sindh government has emphasized that all institutions must fully comply with these orders, with strict penalties for any violations. This suggests that the government is serious about implementing these changes and ensuring that they are followed by all educational institutions in the province.
The move is expected to have a significant impact on the way official events are conducted in Sindh. By promoting simplicity and discipline, the government hopes to create a more professional and respectful environment in educational institutions. The notification has been issued to ensure that all institutions follow a uniform protocol and avoid extravagant practices that may be considered unnecessary or wasteful.
