The '''Sainik Schools''' are a system of schools in [[India]] established and managed by the Sainik Schools Society under [[Ministry of Defence (India)|Ministry of Defence]] (MoD). They were conceived in 1961 by [[V. K. Krishna Menon]], the then [[Defence Minister of India]], to rectify the regional and class imbalance amongst the Officer cadre of the [[Indian Military]], and to prepare students mentally and physically for entry into the [[National Defence Academy (India)|National Defence Academy]] (NDA) and [[Indian Naval Academy]] (INA).<ref>{{Cite web|url=http://mod.nic.in/rec&training/welcome.html|title=official website of ministry of defence, government of india}}</ref><ref name="sainikschoolsociety.org">{{cite web|url=http://www.sainikschoolsociety.org/listofsainik.html|title=Sainik Schools Society}}</ref> Sainik Schools, along with 1 [[Rashtriya Indian Military College|RIMC]] and 5 [[Chail_Military_School#RIM|RMS]] (Rashtriya Military Schools), contribute 25% to 30% [[officer cadet]]s to NDA and INA.<ref name="print1">{{cite web|url=https://theprint.in/opinion/dont-rush-sainik-schools-public-private-partnership-can-dilute-and-corrupt/673499/|title=Don’t rush into Sainik School public-private partnership.

MoD run Sainik Schools as joint venture with the respective state governments. MoD provides annual funding, and serving officers in the key roles such as Principal. State governments provide the land, infrastructure, and other teaching and administrative employees.<ref name="print1"/>
}}
 
Sainik Schools follow the "[[Central Board of Secondary Education|CBSE]] Plus" by using CBSE curriculum while additionally aiming to prepare children for entry into NDA and INA. Admission to Sainik Schools is granted from 6th class. The reservation policy caters for [[Scheduled Castes and Scheduled Tribes|SC/ST]], [[Domicile_(law)#India|domicile]] of the respective states and the [[Ward (law)|wards]] of [[Indian Armed Forces|Armed Forces employees]] and [[Department of Ex-servicemen Welfare|ex-servicemen]].<ref name="print1"/>
 
==History==
 
The inspiration for setting up the Sainik Schools came from the Royal Indian Military College ([[Rashtriya Indian Military College|RIMC]]) and Royal Indian Military Schools (now called Rashtriya Military School or RMS) which have given India many service chiefs. 1 RIMC and 5 RMS were established by the government after the [[World War I]] to [[Indianisation (British India)|Indianise the British Colonial Military]] in India by providing [[Macaulayism|western style education]] with the aim to prepare the potential pool of future military officers. RIMC was established in 1922. Five RMS were established, namely [[Chail Military School]] in 1922, [[Ajmer Military School]] in 1930, [[Belgaum Military School]] in 1945, [[Bangalore Military School]] in 1946 and [[Dholpur Military School]] in 1962. First Sainik School came up in 1961. Additionally, there are several private military schools, Maharashtra has highest number of those.<ref name="print1"/> Oldest private military school is [[Bhonsala Military School]], which was established in 1937.
 
Although [[Sainik School, Lucknow]], established in 1960 was the first Sainik School, is not under the Sainik School Society, but rather under Uttar Pradesh Sainik Schools Society, which is registered under the [[Societies Registration Act, 1860|Indian Societies Registration Act]] (1860).<ref name="sainikschoolsociety.org"/>
 
In 2008, in his [[Union budget of India|Union Budget]] the [[Finance minister]], [[P Chidambaram]], allocated {{INR}}2 [[crore]] to each of the 25 Sainik schools, to counter rising attrition in the defence forces, especially at the officer level.<ref>[http://economictimes.indiatimes.com/articleshow/2837956.cms Budget bounty lifts spirits at Sainik schools] [[The Economic Times]], March 5, 2008</ref>
 
Sainik schools are ordinary citizen's public school where deserving students get high-quality education irrespective of their income or class background. Seats are reserved for children of SC/ST and serving/retired defence personnel.
 
The objective of the Sainik Schools is to prepare the students to lead as [[Officer (armed forces)|officers]] in the [[Indian Armed Forces|Defence Services]] of the country. The schools select bright and promising students through an All India Sainik School Entrance Examination (AISSEE) and focus on moulding their overall personality with emphasis on extracurricular activities.
 
Sainik schools resources allow cadets to develop their skills in sports, academics and other extracurricular activities. Infrastructure in Sainik Schools include [[running track]]s, cross-country tracks, indoor games, [[parade]] grounds, boxing rings, [[Shooting range|firing ranges]], [[canoeing]] clubs, [[horse riding]] clubs, [[mountaineering]] clubs, [[Backpacking (wilderness)|trekking]] and [[hiking]] club, obstacles courses, [[Association football|football]], [[field hockey|hockey]] and [[cricket]] fields, as well as [[volleyball]] and [[basketball]] courts. Cadets also become a part of [[National Cadet Corps (India)|NCC]]. A cadet who completes their 12th standard usually possess a [[National Cadet Corps (India)|NCC]] B certificate.
 
Cadets are assigned to houses. They are classified as sub-juniors, juniors and seniors respectively depending upon their class of study. Cadets compete in sports, physical training, academics, cross country, drill and various other competitions to win their house trophy.
 
==Sainik Schools Society==
 
The Sainik Schools Society is an organisation under the Ministry of Defence. The Chief Executive Body of the Sainik Schools Society is a Board of Governors functioning under the Chairmanship of the [[Minister of Defence (India)|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 JS (Trg) & Hony Secretary who is assisted by Inspecting Officers, DS (Trg), Under Secretary, Sainik Schools Society (Sainik School Cell). The staff for the cell is provided by the MoD. The local administration of the school is looked after by a Local Board of Administration whose Chairman is the GoC-in-C of the concerned Command where the Sainik School is located.
