Faridkot, January 21
Consul General of Canada Scott Slessor and former Advocate-General of Punjab ML Sarin today inaugurated a library on the premises of the local Government Girls Senior Secondary School.

Dr Mohinder Partap Sambhi, an NRI, whose late wife Dr Mohindar Brar Sambhi had studied in the school from 1933 to 1943, had donated Rs 46 lakh to set up the ultra-modern library. He has also promised to give Rs 2 lakh per annum for its maintenance and two scholarships to the school students every year.

The school authorities have now rechristened the name of the school as Dr Mohindar Brar Sambhi Government Girls Senior Secondary School.

Scott Slessor said a library was the heart of a school and the students of this school had got a well-designed and modern library, built in memory of one of its old students.

Born in 1928, Mohindar Brar Sambhi aka Minno attended this school before going to college for her pre-medical degree. She graduated from Lady Hardinge Medical College, New Delhi, and married Dr Mohinder Partap of Ludhiana in 1953. After her postgraduation in medical science, she started working as a child psychiatrist in the US and Canada.

She specialised in the care of differently abled children in the US. After her death in 2004, her husband Dr Mohinder Partap established a Chair of Indian Classical Music named after her at the University of California and a programme of India studies at the school of

Advanced International Studies of Johns Hopkins University, Washington.

In January 2006, Dr Mohinder Partap started Minno Sambhi Free Blood Service for Thalassemic Children in Chandigarh, said Sarin, adding Dr Mohinder Partap was now in talks with Baba Farid University of Health Sciences to set up a child psychiatry Chair in the university.

Also present at the inauguration were Niti Sarin; Siddarth Wig, CEO, Elements, the architectural firm which designed the library; Ravi Bhagat, Faridkot Deputy Commissioner; SS Gill, Vice Chancellor, Baba Farid University of Health Sciences; and Gurdip Singh Dhudi, principal of the school. Over 500 students participated in a cultural programme.
