Raksha Mantri approves 23 new Sainik Schools in partnership mode

The Government of India has given the green light to establish 100 new Sainik Schools in collaboration with NGOs, Private Schools, and State Governments, starting from Class 6 onwards. A Memorandum of Agreement (MoA) has already been signed by the Sainik Schools Society with 19 new Sainik Schools located across the country.

Following a thorough evaluation of applications for additional Sainik Schools under the partnership model, Raksha Mantri Shri Rajnath Singh has granted approval for the establishment of 23 more Sainik Schools through this mode. This development raises the total number of new Sainik Schools operating under the aegis of the Sainik School Society to 42, in addition to the existing 33 Sainik Schools already functioning under the previous pattern.

The vision behind Prime Minister Shri Narendra Modi’s initiative to set up 100 new Sainik Schools is to offer high-quality education to students in line with the National Education Policy and provide them with enhanced career opportunities, including the option to join the Armed Forces. This initiative also provides an opportunity for the private sector to collaborate with the Government in the noble task of nation-building by shaping today’s youth into responsible citizens of tomorrow.

These newly established Sainik Schools, in addition to being affiliated with their respective education boards, will operate under the jurisdiction of the Sainik Schools Society and will adhere to the Rules and Regulations prescribed by the Society for new Sainik Schools in partnership mode. Alongside the regular affiliated board curriculum, they will also provide education based on the Academic PLUS curriculum in the Sainik School pattern.
