Exciting News for Nagaland Students: Achieve Your Dreams with 100% Scholarship at Sainik School Punglwa – A Life-Changing Opportunity!
Nagaland Chief Minister Neiphiu Rio announced that the state government will offer full scholarships to Nagaland students attending Sainik School Punglwa (SSP). This announcement came during a Joint Mega Ex-Servicemen Rally at Bhagat Stadium, Dimapur, and aims to boost enrolment at SSP, where many state-reserved seats remain unfilled. Since 2022-23, the rate of Nagaland students enrolling has dropped, leaving 16 seats vacant for 2023-24 and 38 for 2024-25. CM Rio emphasized the benefits of attending Sainik School, based on personal family experiences, and hoped these scholarships would maximize the utilization of the school’s reserved seats for the state’s students.
Addressing ex-servicemen and Veer Naris, Rio expressed gratitude for their sacrifices and highlighted ongoing state government support through financial aid and health benefits. He also donated Rs 5 lakh to the Spear Corps Welfare Fund, underscoring the government’s commitment to veteran welfare, including special educational provisions for their children.
Lieutenant General Abhijit S Pendharkar, GOC of Spear Corps, reaffirmed support for the welfare of ex-servicemen, encouraging them to leverage available assistance programs and recognize SSP’s importance. He urged veterans to consider enrolling their children at SSP, emphasizing available scholarships.
The rally, held by Headquarters Spear Corps, aimed to honor and support ex-servicemen from Nagaland and Assam’s Karbi Anglong district. Over 1,300 participants, including war veterans and Veer Naris, attended. Attendees received medical services, welfare information, and access to commercial facilities like canteen services and vehicle sales. The event highlighted continued dedication to the welfare of veterans and their families, facilitated by senior government officials and the Ministry of Defence.
