Sainik School, Amaravathinagar
is an English medium, residential school for boys providing
Public School Education with a military bias up to +2 stage
as per the central Board of Secondary Education Syllabus. In
common with other sainik schools it has an All India system
of selection and examination. Almost every state in India has
a Sainik School.
Aim of School The
aim of the school is to prepare the boys academically, physically
and psychologically for entry into the National Defence Academy or
other walks of life. Character, team spirit, dedication to purpose,
a patriotic outlook and a desire to serve the country with zeal and
efficiency are the qualities sought to be promoted by the training
at the school.
The concept of Sainik Schools originated with Mr. Krishna Menon, who
was our Defence Minister in the early sixties. Mr. Menon felt that
a school with rudiments of a military way of life in each state of
our country could go a long way in building up an infrastructure for
intake into the NDA. Thus sainik schools came into being in each state.
This school is one of the 18 Sainik Schools of the country. It came
into being on 16th July 1962.
