Hindus inspite of political affiliation unite to stop Missionary Activities in a School

Madnoor(Nizamabad, Andhra Pradesh Dist.) : For a longtime The Karmel Public School at Madnoor (A.P.) has been continuing Missionary Activities through its School. The School has strength of 400 students, most of them Hindus. The school is run by the Christ for India Movement (CFIM). The website of the CFIM says that the school is run for the poor, needy, handicapped and orphans. Also the website requests for Donation from NRI Christians saying that CFIM runs this school for non-Christian children to teach the LOVE OF JESUS and gives free education, whereas in reality the School management asks for High amount of Fees from the parents. None of the students are orphan or handicapped. Most of the Madnoor Businessmen, Agriculturists and Industrialists students study here.

Secondly the school advises students to avoid using Vermillion Tilak on forehead, Girls should not wear bangles. Christian prayers are being made compulsory in the morning.

A signature campaign was conducted by Hindu Janajagruti Samiti at the HINDU DHARMASABHA in Madnoor on 14 November. More than 400 people signed the memorandum which had the following demands –

1. There should be no evangelical prayers in the school.

3. School management should stop making false claims through its website or stop taking fees from parents.
