Defence Minister Rajnath Singh Inaugurates Sainik School in Jaipur, Rajasthan

This initiative aims to blend public and private sector contributions to enhance education for future generations and foster patriotism among youth. Deputy CM Diya Kumari and Col Rajyavardhan Rathore (Retd) were also present at the event.

Rajnath Singh emphasized the evolving role of the private sector in India’s economy, stating that it now drives major contributions in agriculture, manufacturing, and services. He highlighted that the traditional Public-Private-Partnership (PPP) model is transitioning into a ‘Private-Public-Partnership’, with private entities playing a leading role in initiatives like Sainik Schools.

The new Sainik School aims to provide both academic and values-based education, focusing on discipline, patriotism, and courage. Rajnath Singh noted the holistic development offered by Sainik Schools, which prepares students not only for military careers but also for other professions where they can serve the nation.

In addition to regular academics, the curriculum at Sainik Schools incorporates skill-based training, physical fitness, community service, and debates on societal issues like gender equality and environmental protection. These activities are designed to ensure the all-round development of students.

The Sainik School in Jaipur was established in collaboration with Shri Bhawani Niketan Shiksha Samiti. This partnership, formalized in 2023, is part of a broader strategy to develop 100 new Sainik Schools under the aegis of the Sainik Schools Society, adding to the existing 33 institutions operating under the traditional model.
