A high-level delegation comprising retired senior military officials and Assam government representatives conducted an in-depth site inspection on Friday at Langvoku, Karbi Anglong, to assess the proposed location for the upcoming Sainik School. The initiative is part of a broader push to provide quality education and instill discipline among the region’s youth.
The delegation was led by Lt Gen (Retd) Rana Pratap Kalita, Chairman of the Advisory Committee for Supervision and Monitoring of the school project. He was accompanied by Major Gen (Retd) Bhaskar Kalita, Brigadier SM (Retd) Ranjit Borthakur, and Brigadier (Retd) Palash Choudhury. Their collective military experience is expected to play a pivotal role in guiding the school’s establishment.
Senior state officials and members of the Karbi Anglong Autonomous Council (KAAC) also participated in the visit. Key figures included Pranjal Choudhury, Joint Secretary of the Department of Education, and the Chief Engineer of the Public Works Department. The team also included architects, engineers, and representatives from the State Land and Revenue Department.
During the visit, the team reviewed the 133-acre land parcel allocated by the KAAC and examined the site plan prepared by the Chief Engineer’s office. The assessment focused on terrain suitability, accessibility to highways, railways, and airports, and proximity to hospitals and other essential services, all of which are vital for the smooth functioning of a residential institution like a Sainik School.
The proposed school has been officially sanctioned under Clause 5.1 (Annex-II) of the Memorandum of Settlement (MoS) 2021 and approved by the Ministry of Defence, Government of India. It represents a strategic investment in the region’s educational infrastructure, aiming to produce future leaders through a structured and disciplined academic environment.
