The central government has approved establishment of one more Sainik School in Haryana following the long pending demand of the people of the state, reports Indian Express.
According to a release by the state government, a Memorandum of Agreement (MoU) will soon be signed between Haryana government and the Ministry of Defence for setting up of the school.
The new campus will be built at Matanhail gram panchayat in Jhajjhar district on a land measuring 38 acres and will cost Rs 50 crore. The state government will provide the entire capital expenditure of acquiring land, building, furniture, transport and educational equipment required by the school as well as a major portion of the running expenditure.
The existing army school campuses are in Kunjpura in Karnal and in Rewari district.
Earlier, Chief Minister Manohar Lal Khattar requested then Defence minister Manohar Parrikar for the setting up of a Sainik school at village Matenhail to enable the youth to pursue their desire to join the defence forces and serve the nation.
The existing land granted for the school would be handed over to the Sainik Schools Society on lease and will be renewed timely as per instructions from Ministry of Defence.
