Arunachal Minister Highlights Plans for 100 New Sainik Schools Across India

Our correspondent

Itanagar: Arunachal Pradesh Education Minister Passang Dorjee Sona on Friday informed the assembly that the Centre has initiated the establishment of 100 new Sainik Schools across the country under the Sainik School Society through a public-private partnership (PPP) model.

Responding to a question from Independent MLA Laisam Simai regarding the government's plan to set up a Sainik School in the Tirap, Changlang, and Longding (TCL) districts, Sona stated that the new schools would be established on an affiliation basis through partnerships with NGOs, private institutions, and state government-owned schools to meet the growing demand for Sainik Schools.

"These schools will be distinct from the existing Sainik Schools under the Ministry of Defence. Communications have already been sent to the district magistrates and collectors by the Sainik School Society," the minister informed.

He further explained that interested parties must register for affiliation as new Sainik Schools through a designated web portal. "The applications submitted by these schools will be evaluated by the society based on compliance with its policies, guidelines, memorandum of agreement, and rules and regulations," he added.
