What concerns were highlighted by Congress president Kharge in the letter to President Murmu regarding Sainik schools

Outline the issues raised by Congress president Kharge about the 'politicisation' of Sainik schools in the communication to President Murmu.
In his letter to President Murmu regarding Sainik schools, Congress president Kharge raised concerns about the politicization of these institutions. Some of the key issues highlighted by Kharge include:
  • The selection of principals and vice-principals based on political considerations rather than merit, affecting the quality of education provided.
  • The appointment of retired military officers to top administrative positions, potentially compromising the academic environment.
  • Allegedly skewed admission processes that favor certain groups or individuals over deserving candidates, leading to a lack of diversity and inclusivity.
  • The need for a transparent and merit-based selection process to ensure the integrity and effectiveness of Sainik schools.
Kharge's concerns underscore the importance of maintaining the educational and training objectives of Sainik schools without undue political interference.
