Nashik: RSS chief Mohan Bhagwat has stressed the need for imparting military education to students citing "rising" threat to internal security.

"Even 64 years after independence, India is being threatened by China and Pakistan....with rising concern over internal security, we should give top priority to military education to students to make India strong," Bhagwat said.

He was addressing the platinum jubilee function of Bhonsala Military School here Monday evening.

"Current education system is business oriented... Foreigners have adopted our education system and our policymakers are imitating theirs... This should be rectified," Bhagwat said.

Bhonsala Military School was founded in 1937 by the staunch Hindu leader Dr BS Moonje who also played a role in mentoring Rashtriya Swayamsewak Sangh (RSS) founder KB Hedgewar.

"The Bhonsala Military School was founded by Moonje in a view to protect the nation and has been acting as a feeder institute to fulfil backlog of military officials," the RSS chief said.

Senior RSS functionary Prakash Pathak informed that the BMS was going to start a similar facility exclusively for girls in Nashik.

The BMS run by the Central Hindu Military Education Society (CHMES) is also mulling to set up a flying club and a pilot training institute besides a centre for service preparation and aeronautic engineering education.

"We are receiving proposals from the states of Madhya Pradesh, Gujarat, Uttarakhand for setting up military schools there and will soon take a call on them," Pathak said.

Bhagwat also released a book 'Smaran Samaranche' written by city-based Girish Takale.

Earlier, BMS students called "ramdandis" held a march to mark the occasion.

Very logical. The NCC should start from 9th standard and should continue onward with the idea of giving advance kind of training to higher class students. Martial art should be introduced in the NCC to make the young generation physically fit and mentally strong. Such a young generation will be capable of facing any internal security problem and can act positively in the event of terrorist attacks plus natural calamities.

Indian Armed Forces requires quality officers. Despite of unemployment problem large number of vacancies still exists in Indian army , navy , air force. If Bhonsala Military School is really serious about acting as a feeder institute for the Armed Forces of India , they need to follow very strict norms for ing students for admission in class VI th onwards . They can follow ion procedure adopted by RIMC (Rashtriya Indian Miltary College ) Dehradun. No other Institute in our country can match the standards set by RIMC Dehradun. It requires lot of perseverence , motivation , dedicated consistent efforts to hand pick, groom, nurture and bring up potential of a boy to make him a world class militrary leader. All the best - Lt Col MP Deshpande
