India to Establish 100 New Sainik Schools in Educational Partnership, 23 Approved.”
The Indian government has given the green light to a plan to create 100 new Sainik Schools in collaboration with NGOs, private schools, and state governments. These schools will be set up in a phased manner, beginning from the 6th grade.
As part of this initiative, a Memorandum of Agreement (MoA) has already been signed by the Sainik Schools Society with 19 new Sainik Schools spread across the country.
Following a thorough evaluation of applications for opening additional Sainik Schools under this partnership model, Defense Minister Rajnath Singh has given approval for the establishment of 23 new Sainik Schools in collaboration with various partners. This brings the total number of new Sainik Schools operating under the guidance of the Sainik Schools Society to 42, in addition to the existing 33 Sainik Schools following the previous pattern.
The main objectives behind Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s vision of establishing these 100 new Sainik Schools are to provide high-quality education in line with the National Education Policy and to offer students enhanced career opportunities, including the option to join the Armed Forces. This initiative also encourages the private sector to work alongside the government to contribute to the nation’s development by shaping today’s youth into responsible citizens of tomorrow.
A list of the 23 newly approved Sainik Schools by state or union territory can be found at this website.
These new Sainik Schools, in addition to their affiliation with their respective education boards, will operate under the guidance of the Sainik Schools Society and will adhere to the Rules and Regulations for new Sainik schools established through partnerships, as prescribed by the Society. In addition to the standard curriculum provided by their affiliated boards, these schools will also offer an Academic PLUS curriculum in the style of Sainik schools. You can find more details about how these schools will operate on their official website. Students and parents interested in this opportunity are encouraged to visit the website and make the most of this new educational initiative.
