Thanks to Ranjit Singh, vocational schools teaching miniature painting, calligraphy and architecture also blossomed across the empire.
Wanting to make sure that education in rural areas did not lag, he crafted the 'Qaida Noor' system, under which booklets teaching the basic alphabet, basic math, and elementary writing was distributed to numbers (village heads) across Punjab.
