“Honoring a Legacy: Unveiling Ceremony of Rajarshi Shahu Maharaj’s Statue at Military School”
The unveiling ceremony of the statue of Shrimant Chhatrapati Rajarshi Shahu Maharaj at the Military School premises was a momentous occasion. Mr. Prashant Deshmukh, the President of Rotary Club Nanded, and former Revenue Officer Mr. Madhu Girgavkar presided over the ceremony, symbolizing a gesture of respect and homage to a historical figure. The event was graced by the presence of distinguished personalities, including Dr. Shivraj Bokade, Chairman of the institution, Mr. Pramod Deshmukh, and others.
Sainik School, initiated in 1996 under the vision of Babasaheb Deshmukh, a dedicated worker of the Sanskriti Samvardhan Mandal, holds a noble purpose of grooming rural children into military officers. The unveiling ceremony not only marked the cultural and educational contributions of Shrimant Chhatrapati Rajarshi Shahu Maharaj but also emphasized the dedication of the institution in realizing this vision.
The statue, now situated in the Samta Garden, enhances the aesthetic appeal of the Military School campus while serving as a constant reminder of the vision set forth by Babasaheb Deshmukh. The aspiration to encourage rural children to become military officers has been actively pursued by the Sainik School for the past twelve years, reflecting a commitment to educational and societal goals. This unveiling ceremony not only pays homage to historical figures but also celebrates the enduring legacy of those who strive towards empowering the youth and fostering cultural and educational development.
