Defence Minister Rajnath Singh will formally inaugurate the Sainik School in Rajasthan's state capital, Jaipur, on September 23, according to an official release on Sunday.
According to an official release from the Ministry of Defence, "It is part of the government's vision to set-up 100 new Sainik schools across the country in partnership with NGOs, state governments and private schools." These new schools will be apart from the existing 33 Sainik schools already functioning under the erstwhile pattern. The Ministry of Defence has accorded approval to 45 new Sainik schools under the partnership mode. These new schools, besides their affiliation to respective education boards, will function under the aegis of the Sainik Schools Society and follow the Rules and Regulations. In addition to their regular affiliated board curriculum, they will impart education of the 'Academic PLUS' curriculum to the students of Sainik School pattern. In September 2023, the Sainik Schools Society had signed a Memorandum of Agreement with Bhawani Niketan Shiksha Samiti for the establishment of a new Sainik School at Bhawani Niketan Public School, Jaipur. The school commenced functioning in the present academic year. (ANI)
