What is Sainik Schools?

About Sainik Schools

The scheme to establish Sainik Schools originated in order to serve as an ideal residential educational institution for the deserving intelligent sections of the boys & girls hailing from myriad backgrounds.  It enables students to take up an illustrious career as an officer in the Armed Forces of the Nation and other celebrated professions.  Moreover, the high levels of physical, mental and intellectual attainments needed for induction into the Officer Cadre of the Defence Services could not be nurtured in the common schools, mainly because of the lack of exposure for defence services. The training imparted in Sainik Schools influences the students in shaping their social attitudes and meaningful approach to life in general in order to emerge as responsible citizens of India and leaders in different walks of life.

Why Sainik Schools?

These schools offer a vast array of opportunities to channelize the energies of cadets for constructive purposes. A wide spectrum of co and extracurricular activities ensure complete education and all-round personality development of the cadets. However, if the Cadet is Unable to join the NDA due to any reason, he attains enough proficiency like those who have gone on to become bureaucrats, lawyers, engineers and journalists,  holding the Sainik school Flag aloft in all the avenues they endeavoured in.
