ITANAGAR: Arunachal Pradesh Governor Lt Gen (Retd) K T Parnaik on Monday encouraged Sainik School aspirants from the remote districts of Kurung Kumey and Upper Subansiri to foster a spirit of participation, curiosity, hard work, and the essential habits of reading and writing.
Interacting with students from Sarli in the Kurung Kumey district and Taksing and Daporijo under Upper Subansiri at the Raj Bhavan here, the governor emphasised the importance of good health, discipline, and regular physical activity in a student’s life.
The students are participants in a dedicated coaching initiative run by the Indian Army’s Spear Corps, aimed at preparing children from remote border villages for the All India Sainik School Entrance Examination.
Recalling his own experience as part of the Sainik School batch in 1962, Parnaik highlighted the tremendous opportunities these institutions offer.
“Sainik Schools provide a golden opportunity to build a bright future, serve the nation with pride, and bring honour to one’s family and state,” he said.
Urging the young aspirants to become educated, disciplined, and responsible citizens, he encouraged them to contribute meaningfully to the development of Arunachal Pradesh, a Raj Bhavan communiqué said. The governor lauded the efforts of Spear Corps for raising awareness and inspiring students from isolated regions to aim for admission to Sainik Schools. He called the initiative a shining example of civil-military cooperation, opening new avenues of empowerment for youth in the state’s border areas.
