About Sainik Schools

The scheme of establishing Sainik Schools was introduced in 1961 by the Ministry of Defence. In the first year, five Sainik Schools were established.

Since then, several more Sainik Schools have been established in different states across the country. The schools were conceived to provide quality education in an environment that develops discipline, leadership, character and a spirit of service to the nation.

Sainik Schools are managed by a society registered under the Societies Registration Act (XXI of 1960).

The Sainik School Philosophy

Sainik Schools combine academic education with discipline, physical development, leadership training and a military-oriented environment.
