Rajnath Singh approves 23 new Sainik Schools in partnership mode

The Government of India has given the go-ahead for the project of setting up 100 new Sainik Schools in collaboration with NGOs, private schools, and State Governments in a graded way, class-wise, starting from class 6th onwards. A Memorandum of Agreement (MoA) has been inked. It is as part of this endeavour between the Sainik Schools Society and 19 New Sainik Schools located across the nation.

Defence Minister Rajnath Singh has approved the establishment of 23 New Sainik Schools in partnership mode after further reviewing applications for new Sainik School openings. In addition to the 33 Sainik Schools now operating under the previous pattern, this initiative has resulted in the addition of 42 additional Sainik Schools operating in partnership mode under the auspices of the Sainik School Society. 

Recently, the union minister said, " Sanatan Dharma has always given a good message and no force can eliminate it". He also said that Sanatan Dharma gave the message of Vasudhaiv Kutumbakam. He also said that it is unfortunate that the INDIA alliance is supporting such remarks. This comes amidst the controversy after the Tamil Nadu Chief Minister MK Stalin's son Udhayanidhi Stalin compared Sanatan Dharma to diseases like dengue, Malaria and said that it must be eradicated from the country.
