Home Minister Amit Shah virtually laid the foundation stone of the country’s first cooperative-run Sainik School near Mehsana in Gujarat.
The school in Mehsana district is being developed on a public-private partnership (PPP) basis by Dudhsagar Dairy, one of the largest milk cooperatives in Gujarat.
The Sainik School has been named Motibhai R Chaudhary Sagar Sainik School in honour of Motibhai Chaudhary, a milk cooperative stalwart from north Gujarat who expanded the Dudhsagar Dairy after the demise of its founder-chairman Mansinh Patel.
Motibhai was elected to Gujarat Assembly and Lok Sabha during his lifetime.
