Actress Kangana Ranaut has publicly supported the establishment of RSS‑run schools in Himachal Pradesh following the BJP's return to power in the state.
The BJP has reclaimed power in Himachal Pradesh after the recent state assembly elections, prompting a wave of political commentary across the region. In the wake of this development, Bollywood star Kangana Ranaut used her platform to advocate for the creation of schools managed by the Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS) in the state.
Ranaut, who hails from Himachal Pradesh, argued that RSS‑run institutions could provide disciplined education aligned with cultural values. She highlighted the need for alternatives to existing government schools, suggesting that the RSS model could improve academic standards and moral instruction.
While no specific policy proposals were detailed, her remarks have sparked discussion among local educators and political observers. The state government has not yet responded to her call, and it remains to be seen whether any formal steps will be taken to incorporate RSS‑affiliated schools into Himachal's education system.
The actress's stance reflects a broader trend of public figures aligning with the ruling party's agenda on education reforms. Analysts note that any move toward RSS‑run schools would require legislative approval and coordination with the state's education department.
As the BJP consolidates its governance, the debate over the role of ideologically driven schools in Himachal Pradesh is likely to intensify, with stakeholders awaiting concrete policy directions.
