Origin & History
It was on 16 Sept of 1963, that the foundation stone of the 12 Sainik Schools in the chain of 33 Sainik Schools sprawling across the length and breadth of the country was laid down. This fledgling nascent school was a sequel to the concerted endeavour of the legendary cultural ambassador and the then Union Defence Minister, Late V K Krishna Menon and the visionary Chief Minster from Bihar Late K B Sahay. The onus of translating vision from the drawing boards into reality fell on the scholar Principal Lt Col LEG Smith. Thus was born SST which later has been ensconced as a landmark on the academic scene of the state and nation as well. Today it is a top ranking nursery to the NDA.
Education technology has permeated all areas of life. Our endeavor is to integrate technology with everyday classroom teaching and learning for the maximum benefit of the cadets.
The school has sent about 900 Cadets to the National Defence Academy till date ; some of them have reached the ranks of Lt General and equivalent in the Indian Armed Forces.
The school has a modern state-of-the art infrastructure which is designed to complement the high ideal and majestic goals that it envisages.
The primary aim of Sainik School is to prepare Cadets academically, physically and mentally for entry into the Defence Services in the Officer Cadre and those who do not make the grade, for responsible positions in other walks of life.
