As per the
Memorandum of Association of the Sainik Schools Society, 1961 the objects of
the society include establishment of Sainik Schools in various parts of India
to provide special School education of a high standard with the aim of
preparing boys academically and physically for entry into the National Defence
Academy and other walks of life.
Sainik Schools
are established on receipt of a specific request from the State Government. The
State Government is also required to provide infrastructure in the form of
land, educational and residential buildings, games fields and other equipments.
Once a proposal to the effect is received from the State Government,
in-principle approval is accorded after assessing the suitability of the
proposal. Thereafter, a Memorandum of Agreement is signed between the Ministry
of Defence and the State Government before Sainik Schools are established.
Presently, there are 25 Sainik Schools in the country covering 21 State, which
are as under:
