“There was no Sainik school in Delhi. We began preparations a year back but did not know it would be ready in a year. I thank those who made this dream possible within one year on behalf of Delhi and the country”, the chief minister said at the event. Retired officers will be invited to coach students.
“I interacted with students and found out that 80 to 90 per cent of them are from government schools, while 10 to 15 per cent are from private schools. There will be psychometric tests, personality development workshops, mock tests to prepare students for the armed forces,” Kejriwal said. He said the school was named after Bhagat Singh so that students could learn from his life. “At the age of 23, he participated in the freedom struggle and gave his life. Today’s youngsters at that age are worried about getting a girlfriend. You should imbibe his ideals and learn from his life,” Kejriwal added.
