CM Yadav Joins Chemistry Class
During an ongoing Class 10 Chemistry period, CM Yadav interacted with students and asked them a question about a chemical reaction: what could be added to water to cause a fire?

Why Are They Called Sandipani Vidyalayas?
A student asked CM Yadav why CM Rise schools had been named Sandipani Vidyalayas.

According to CM Yadav, the model reflects the spirit of Maharshi Sandipani’s ashram, where students received education without distinctions based on their background.
Focus on Students’ Confidence
The Chief Minister spent time with the students and also posed for photographs with them. He said he was pleased to see their enthusiasm, confidence and interest in education.

The decision to convert the Lanji school into a Sandipani Vidyalaya is expected to strengthen the school’s connection with the state’s broader focus on modern, inclusive and quality education.
