Bihar model schools makeover: Principals vow to follow renaming, repainting directives

The Bihar government has ordered the renaming and repainting of all 551 model schools from Classes 9-12 across the state to 'Saraswati Vidya Niketan,' using a 'sunrise' color resembling the saffron associated with the ruling BJP. Schools like B.P. High School in Begusarai began repainting their exteriors with this color shortly after a visit by Chief Minister Samrat Choudhary and Education Minister Mithilesh Tiwari. School principals, such as Kamini Kumari at B.P. Inter School, expressed frustration over the sudden directive, noting they had recently completed costly renovations and now faced additional expenses. The repainting and renaming process involved hiring numerous workers and incurred significant costs, with some schools already completing the first coat of paint. Officials, including the District Education Officer Manoj Kumar, confirmed that work is ongoing across all model schools in the district.
