Union Minister praises Mohan Yadav for renaming 'CM RISE' school as 'Sandipani Vidyalaya'

Union Minister Dharmendra Pradhan praises Madhya Pradesh CM Mohan Yadav for renaming CM RISE schools and implementing NEP-2020

"I would appreciate Chief Minister Mohan Yadav's decision for changing 'CM RISE' school as 'Sandipani Vidyalaya' - Dharmendra Pradhan"

Ratlam, June 6

Union Education Minister Dharmendra Pradhan on Friday appreciated Chief Minister Mohan Yadav for renaming 'CM RISE' school as 'Sandipani Vidyalaya' and effectively implementing the National Education Policy (NEP-2020) in Madhya Pradesh.

Pradhan, who was in Madhya Pradesh to inaugurate a Jawahar Navodaya Vidyalaya in Ratlam district on Friday, said that Prime Minister Narendra Modi has introduce NEP-2020 with a vision to transform India's education system.

"I would appreciate Madhya Pradesh government for effectively implementing the Centre's New Education Policy. The results of this commitment would start giving results in the next few years," Pradhan said.

This is the second Navodaya Vidyalaya in Ratlam district. Pradhan said that people of Ratlam are lucky to have two Navodaya Vidyalaya and he credited for it to veteran BJP leader Thawar Chand Gehlot, who is now the Governor of Karnataka.

Gehlot, who had previously represented Alot Assembly seat (under Ratlam Lok Sabha constituency) twice (between 1990 and 1993), was the special guest at the event along with Madhya Pradesh Chief Minister Mohan Yadav.

Meanwhile, highlighting the BJP-led Madhya Pradesh government's progressive steps in school education system in the past two years, Pradhan said, "I would appreciate Chief Minister Mohan Yadav's decision for changing 'CM RISE' school as 'Sandipani Vidyalaya'. It shows his commitment towards NEP-2020."

Notably, the concept of 'CM RISE' school was introduced by former Madhya Pradesh Chief Minister Shivraj Singh Chouhan, who is now Union Agriculture and Farmers Welfare Minister.

Then it was said that the acronym 'RISE' stood for ‘Respect, Integrity, Strength, and Excellence’.

The initiative was to transform over 9,000 government schools of the state into best-in-class models over the next one decade through infrastructure upgrades, staffing and training, academic and administrative procedures, and other processes that could boost access to quality education.

However, on April 1 this year, Shivraj Chouhan's successor and Madhya Pradesh Chief Minister Mohan Yadav announced that the 'CM RISE' schools in the state will be called 'Sandipani Vidyalaya'.

Good move by CM Yadav! Sandipani was Lord Krishna's guru - this name connects modern education with our ancient gurukul traditions. Much better than generic acronyms like RISE. NEP implementation looks promising in MP! 🙏

While the name change is nice, I hope the focus remains on actual education quality. My niece studies in a government school in Bhopal - they still lack proper toilets and drinking water. Infrastructure should be priority #1.

Why change names every time government changes? First RISE now Sandipani...this political rebranding wastes money that could be used for teacher training. Education policy should be beyond party politics!

As a teacher, I appreciate NEP's focus on mother tongue education. But implementation is slow - we haven't received the promised training modules yet. Hope Sandipani Vidyalayas get proper resources soon. The idea is good but execution matters!

Two Navodaya schools in Ratlam is excellent news! These schools produce top talent from rural areas. My brother studied in one and now works at ISRO. More focus on STEM education please - that's what will make India a Vishwaguru. 💪

The name Sandipani Vidyalaya has cultural significance, but will these schools actually teach about our ancient education systems like Takshashila? Or is it just a symbolic change? Hope the curriculum reflects this heritage too.
