CHAIL (Himachal Pradesh): Now the cadets studying at one of the oldest Rashtriya Military School (RMS) of country at Chail in Himachal Pradesh would learn Chinese language. Ministry of Defence (MOD), which is running the schools, has introduced the Chinese language in the study curriculum of the school from current academic session.

While giving details of the development, Principal RMS Chail, Lt Colonel Arun Kulkarni said that RMS Chail is one of the leading five Military Schools of Country and introduction of Chinese language in the school is part of a pilot project of MOD.
When asked what prompted them to introduce the Chinese language only, Lt Col Kulkarni submitted, "We share our boundaries with China with whom we have to deal in many ways like Militarily, business or trade purpose and as our schools is feeder for the armed forces, it was thought to be appropriate to introduce Chinese language in study curriculum of the future officers of the armed forces".
Located in the sprawling 1550-acre campus in the sleepy mountains of Chail, a hills station near Shimla in HP has produced a number of Officers who are serving the nation on high positions in Armed forces and Civil services.
