KOLKATA: Bengal is all set to get another Sainik school, this time at Darjeeling. The state government has already selected a plot near Ghum and informed the defence ministry. Work will start as soon as the MoD carries out inspection and gives clearance. Sources in the ministry said that there won’t be any problems with the clearance so long as the state government keeps its commitment to create necessary infrastructure at the spot.
In fact, the MoD is happy that the new government in West Bengal is taking an interest in the matter of Sainik schools. The Left Front government had done little, save for making the necessary annual grants, towards improving infrastructure at the Sainik School in Purulia.
