Description

From the 2022-23 academic year, the Union Government has decided to affiliate 100 government schools, private schools, and non-governmental organisations (NGOs) with the Sainik Schools Society, Ministry of Defence. Affiliated Sainik schools will be established in collaboration with non-governmental organisations (NGOs), private schools, and state governments. These schools will be distinct from the exciting Sainik schools in that they will focus on providing cost-effective solutions to the country's larger populations. This initiative is part of the National Education Policy (NEP), which aims to provide value-based education.

The affiliated Sainik schools will begin operations in the 2022-23 academic year, with approximately 5,000 students expected to be admitted in Class 6. There are currently 33 Sainik schools with a total enrollment of approximately 3,000 students in Class 6th. According to a government statement, 100 new Sainik schools will be established for the following reasons:

1. Offer cost-effective methods of reaching out to larger populations in all regions of the country.

2. Meeting the increasing demand for Sainik Schools while also providing effective physical, psychosocial, spiritual, intellectual, emotional, and cognitive development.

3. Savings in training duration, trainer deployment, maintenance and operations budgets, while significantly improving the quality of youth entering various fields.

Government schools, private schools, and NGOs who want to get affiliated with Sainik School Society can submit their proposals online at- sainikschool.ncog.gov. The website also has the salient features and qualifying criteria required under this scheme along with the responsibilities of stakeholders, that is Ministry of Defence and school management.

Defining the goal of setting up 100 Sainik schools, the Sainik schools society quotes on its official website: ”To set up schools on the pattern of existing Sainik Schools in order to develop the ethos of national spirit, indomitable courage, unfailing commitment to values of respect for country and society, imbibe the importance of physical fitness and embody the national pride in students’ souls while providing “CBSE Plus” type of educational environment by involving the Government/ private schools to partner in establishing/ aligning their system in line with Sainik Schools’ eco-system.”
