The Sainik Schools are a system of schools in India, which was conceived as a way to balance the regional and class distinctions among the officer cadre of Indian Military. It was started by V K Menon in 1961. The Sainik Schools were inspired by Rashtriya Indian Military College to which goes the credit of giving India many chiefs of the armed forces and even the new public school system. Sainik Schools function along the line of public schools of England and impart good quality education, regardless of the class affiliation of the students. In these institutions, seats are reserved for children of serving defense personnel and concession is given to the wards of government officers.
