So proud of Memota Keisham! Being selected among 15 from 4 crore participants is no small feat. It shows the talent we have in Manipur and across the Northeast. More power to her! The focus on the girls' hostel is also very important for encouraging more female cadets.

Good to see the visit, but let's be honest, these are basic issues - water supply, perimeter wall, auditorium sound. Why do they have to wait for a CM's visit to be highlighted? The local administration should be proactive. Hope the "assurances" don't get lost in files.

As someone who has visited Manipur, the discipline and dedication in Sainik Schools are truly impressive. Investing in their infrastructure is investing in India's future leadership. The mention of interacting with alumni is smart—they can be great mentors and resources for current students.

Shaping disciplined youth is crucial. In today's times, institutions like Sainik School provide much-needed structure and patriotism. The Vikram Batra Auditorium itself is named after a war hero—fixing its sound system should be a priority of honour. Jai Hind!

Positive step! But the proof will be in the pudding. We need a timeline for these upgrades. Also, hope the support extends beyond infrastructure to quality teaching staff and modern learning tools. The students achieving nationally deserve a world-class environment. 👍
