A batch of cadets from the Rashtriya Military School (RMS), Bengaluru, reached Tirupati as part of their South Indian bicycle expedition to motivate rural students to join the military schools, and in turn the armed forces.
RMS is one of the oldest schools established in the year 1925, having presence in Chail (Himachal Pradesh), Ajmer and Dholpur (Rajasthan), Bengaluru and Belagavi (Karnataka).
The event marks the platinum jubilee of the Bengaluru school and also coincides with the Azadi ka Amrit Mahotsav, as the school decided to take up an expedition across the five Southern States, given the low enrolment rate from this region.
