CM Rise schools in Madhya Pradesh to be called 'Sandipani Vidyalaya'

NEW DELHI: Madhya Pradesh Chief Minister Mohan Yadav on Tuesday announced that the CM Rise Schools in the state will be called 'Sandipani Vidyalaya', inspired by the Sandipani Ashram of Hindu mythology. Yadav was addressing the state-level 'Pravashotsav Programme-2025', to launch the admission in government schools across the state under the 'School Chale Hum' campaign, at an educational institution here.

"Lord Krishna received education in the Sandipani Ashram. So, the name of CM Rise Schools should be after Sandipani. Now, these schools across the state will be named after Acharya Sandipani and called Sandipani Vidyalaya," he said. Lord Krishna put an end to the misrule of Kansa and propagated the importance of education, Yadav said. The CM said he himself studied in government schools.
