Bengal Chief Minister Targets 1,000 RSS-run Schools Across State Within Year
Suvendu Adhikari announced a plan to create at least 1,000 Vidya Bharati schools in every district, municipality and panchayat of Bengal within twelve months.
He also suggested consolidating the state's four education departments into a single authority and ending a separate madrassa administration. Adhikari blamed the TMC government of reshaping the Bengali syllabus to divide people, citing changes such as using "amma" instead of "ma" and omitting lessons on Ishwar Chandra Vidyasagar and Swami Vivekananda.
