A society associated with the Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS) educational wing “Vidya Bharati”, which runs Sarvhitkari Vidya Mandir schools across the country, is now planning to open an English learning academy around Chandigarh for its teachers serving in northern states, including Punjab.
The RSS-affiliated body is also planning to expand its network of informal education through “Bal Sanskar Kendras” by setting up as many as 1,000 such centres in border areas to “teach values” to the students and to make them aware of “drug menace” and “religious conversions”.
Punjab Sarvhitkari Educational Society (SES) runs as many as 123 schools in districts across Punjab and in the Union Territory of Chandigarh.
