In the narrow lanes of Jaipur, there lies `The Rehmani Model School`. It was located in the area dominated by the Muslim community, with majority of them being under privileged. Rehmani Model School was once a Madrasa, but has now been turned into a school. Still, most of the 1300 students in the school comprises of orthodox Muslims.
In a surprising move, the school management has now appointed Kailash Chandra Yadav, as a principal for the school. Interestingly Kailash has previously worked in Aadarsh Vidhya Mandir, which is affiliated to RSS. The news might be surprising to the readers but not to Kailash. "Students are students irrespective of their religion and education is important for all," says Kailash to a daily. Abdul Qayyum Akhtar, chairman of Rehmani Welfare Society has also expressed similar views- "To me the educational qualification of teachers matter, not their affiliations or their religion,’ said the Chairman. Who could differ with them!
