Vice President Jagdeep Dhankhar today inaugurated a Sainik school at Gorakhpur in Uttar Pradesh. Speaking on the occasion, the Vice President said that education is the medium that brings changes and eradicates the evils and bad practices from society. He said that he is delighted to come to Gorakhpur Sainik School, as he himself is an alumni of Sainik School Chittaurgarh. Praising the infrastructure of the newly built school, the Vice President said that this Sainik School has one of the best facilities and infrastructure, setting an example for other Sainik schools and military schools in the country.
He asked students not to fear failure, as it is the beginning of success. He said that today’s India is a changed country, and the government has taken many bold decisions, like the abolition of Article 370 from Kashmir. He further added that India’s lively democracy cannot be compared with the neighbouring country. Chief Minister of Uttar Pradesh Yogi Adityanath said in his address that Gorakhpur is the centre of education and health facilities for the population of around three crores living in adjoining Nepal, western Bihar, and the Poorvanchal region. Gorakhpur is giving a new identity to the development of eastern Uttar Pradesh in various fields, and it is a dream destination now. This Sainik School will also play an important role in the educational scenario of the region.
