The Minister said this while replying in the Legislative Council to the discussion on a question by MLC, Mohammad Khursheed Aalam regarding the performance of Sainik School Manasbal. The Minister informed that the accusation regarding unsatisfactory performance of Sainik School Manasbal is not true. However, he said that despite all odds the students of Sainik School Manasbal have performed well at all stages and have emerged successful with flying colors academically as well as in co-curricular activities which is evident from the results of the School for the past three years. Giving details, the Minister said that Sainik School Manasbal was established under the aegis of Jammu and Kashmir Sainik Schools Society registered under Registration of Societies Act IV and is residential English Medium School affiliated to the Central Board of School Education (CBSE), New Delhi providing education for secondary and senior school certificate examinations.
