Initially in 1961, 05 Sainik Schools were opened by the Government under the aegis of Sainik Schools Society. However, to meet the growing aspirations of the people and to attract youth from diverse socio-economic backgrounds in order to foster a sense of national integration and unity, 28 more Sainik Schools were subsequently opened across the country making it a total of 33 Sainik Schools.
Recently, in 2021, Government has approved a scheme to establish new Sainik Schools under partnership mode with Government/private schools/NGOs/Trusts etc in order to set up such schools on the pattern of existing Sainik Schools by aligning their education system with Sainik Schools ethos, value system and national pride. A total of 42 schools have been approved so far under partnership mode out of which sessions have commenced in 19 schools.
In order to achieve gender equality and to pave the way for induction of women in Armed Forces, Girl Cadets have also been inducted in all 33 Sainik Schools w.e.f. 2021-22.
The Sainik Schools have evolved over the years as a model in imparting quality education and training to cadets and preparing them to be good citizens and excel in all walks of life.
