Sainik Schools- Everything you need to know


Sainik Schools- Everything you need to know!
Sainik Schools, as we know it, are purely meant for young men who wish to serve the nation. My knowledge was limited to this single statement. However, there is a lot more as we shall see in this article. Sainik when translated means ‘Soldier’; these are a system of schools in India established and managed by the Sainik Schools Society under the Ministry of Defence. They were conceived in 1961 by V. K. Krishna Menon, the then Defence Minister of India, to rectify the imbalance caused by religion, class, and creed among the Officer cadre of the Indian Military and to prepare students for entry into the National Defence Academy (NDA) and the Indian Naval Academy (INA). Today there are 25 such schools across India. These schools come under the purview of the respective state governments and Ministry of Defence. These schools admit only boys and as the name suggests, they are groomed into little soldiers who will, later on, grow to serve the Nation.
History of Sainik Schools
Sainik Schools draw inspiration from the Rashtriya Indian Military College or RIMC. The objective of the Sainik Schools is to prepare the students to lead as officers in the Defence Services of the country. The schools select smart and promising students through a national entrance examination and mold their personality in order for them to become leaders of the Nation. Seats are reserved for children of serving Defence personnel and concessions are given to children of Government officials.
Organizational Setup
The Sainik Schools are managed by a Society which is registered under the Societies Registration Act (XXI of 1860). The Chief Executive Body of the Sainik Schools Society is a Board of Governors functioning under the Chairmanship of the Defence Minister. For exercising closer control and supervision over the affairs of Sainik Schools there is an Executive Committee under the Chairmanship of Defence Secretary. The day to day work of the Society is managed by Dir (Trg) & Hony Secy who is assisted by Inspecting Officers, Under Secretary, Sainik Schools Society and SO(Sainik School Cell). The local administration of the school is looked after by a Local Board of Administration where the Sainik School is located.
