Punjab Approves New Contracts for School Teaching Interns

The Punjab government has extended the tenure of school teaching interns, approving their continued participation in the program under modified conditions. Interns from Phase One and Phase Two, along with those appointed previously, will remain in the internship from September 16, 2026, to May 31, 2027. District education authorities have been instructed to provide new contracts to these individuals.

Interns whose contracts previously expired on May 31, 2026, will receive fresh agreements. An additional monthly stipend of Rs15,000 will be granted to the interns, contingent upon the revised terms and conditions. Those who resign or depart prior to May 31, 2026, will be ineligible for this extension.

I built a tool that finds "invisible text" hidden in PDFs — white text, tiny fonts, and the invisible render mode

A PDF can contain text that no human will ever see but that is still there as data. White text on white paper. Text at 0.4 pt. Text marked "do not draw". Text placed outside the page.

  • Built using Python, pypdfium2, Pillow, and pywebview, avoiding AGPL-licensed libraries
