nice info sm
Ok,first of all the donation was made by Sukbhir singh badal(Not the Punjab exchequer) and there is no conclusive evidence that public money was spent.
yes the nearest railway station is called "sonwara"because the nearest village is named sonwara which was adapted to Sanawar by the British,The actual name of the school is "The Lawrence School,Sanawar".
What do you mean by rich,elite and powerful?
what fun it use to be visiting the school, we loved defeating them in cricket and hockey :)
it is a prestigious school and at one time this one and the likes of YPS were amongst the best schools , I doubt if they still are the standards have gone down a lot ..
if sukhbir has given the money from the public money than that is really very bad , he has enough of his own but i guess greed has no limits..
and kasauli is a beautiful hill station , we went uphill twice or sometimes more in a month ..

@MEcoy

@Mr Lonely
thanks.
@Arsh Chauhan
thanks.
Please read it fully correctly
For personal money state cabinet permission is not required.
Money is paid by state government.
not from his personal funds.
Understand do not be like a typical India Politician.
Words Powerful are not important,
Important is How can he pay the state money, tax payers money to rich school when our schools do not have toilets and they are held under tree and without electricity
Thanks.
