India, June 5 -- The Government of India issued the following news release:
I am proud to be a Chittorian. That is my identity. I was born in village Kithana, district Jhunjhunu but that was my biological birth. My real birth took place in Sainik School, Chittorgarh. Sainik School taught me values, discipline, decorum, friendliness, care for the environment, to be one amongst many - not to be alone ever. When I look back to my days in Sainik School, I have vivid, pleasant memories. Unforgettable! Chittorians wherever they are have made their school proud. And why not?
In the history of this nation, Chittorgarh has a place of pride. Every day you boys and girls see the fort. Vijay Stambh, Kirti Stambh, Maharana Pratap, Rana Sangha, Padmani, they are part of our legacy, history. They inspire us, motivate us to always believe in the Nation.
If you look around countries of the world, you will find our civilisation is global envy. There's no one to compete with us. We have civilisational history of more than 5,000 years old. Sainik Schools, to begin with, were five. Sainik School Chittorgarh was one amongst the five. Now, we are lucky - the number of Sainik Schools has increased massively. That's a good step in the right direction because those who come to Sainik School basically come from villages, semi-urban areas but they are very talented.
