Government has approved the initiative of setting up of 100 new Sainik Schools in partnership with NGO/private schools and states to be set up under the aegis of Sainik Schools Society, Ministry of Defence. These schools will be established to develop ethos of national spirit, indomitable courage to face challenges, unfailing respect for commitment to values of the country and the society, imbibe the importance of physical fitness and to embody national pride. Based upon the approval, applications have been invited by Sainik Schools Society, Ministry of Defence through web portal http://sainikschool.ncog.gov.in from all willing partners. Schools will be shortlisted through a process of evaluation, subject to meeting of qualifying requirements framed for the purpose and willingness to agree to the approval by-laws and signing of the Memorandum of Agreement with the Sainik Schools Society. Government of India will provide an annual support, on Merit-Cum-Means, of up to 50% fee (subject to an upper limit of Rs 40,000/- per student per annum) for up to 50% of class strength (subject to an upper limit of 50 students per class per annum) for the approved school.
The scheme for opening of 100 New Sainik Schools is open to all Private/NGOs/State Govt Schools in all states and union territories. Communication has been sent to government of all States/UTs, including Gujarat, to sensitize and encourage any willing schools, within their jurisdictions, to apply through the web portal.
In so far as RIMC is concerned, there is no proposal under consideration of setting up another RIMC.

Under the scheme of the opening of 100 new Sainik Schools, approved by the Govt of India, the Sainik Schools Society is in the process to grant approval to the interested schools to function under its aegis. This Scheme will provide an opportunity for students throughout the country to march ahead in tune with National Education Policy (NEP) along with following the Sainik School curriculum. It is in line with the Government of India decision to provide an increased focus on value-based education enabling children to develop pride in the rich culture and heritage of this nation, effective leadership with character, discipline, sense of national duty and patriotism. In the first phase, 100 affiliate partners are proposed to be drawn from States/NGOs/Private partners.
The scheme is aimed at providing the Sainik School pattern of education to a larger cross-section of aspiring students all over the nation. A significant number of schools from various States (approx 230, up to 22.01.2022) have registered at https://sainikschool.ncog.gov.in. At the same time, it is observed that participation of Private/ NGOs/ Govt Schools from Goa, Manipur, Meghalaya, Sikkim, Tripura, West Bengal, New Delhi, Andaman and Nicobar, Chandigarh, Lakshadweep, Puducherry, Ladakh & Jammu and Kashmir is lukewarm even when there is a bright opportunity for these States / UT Governments to have Sainik School established in their area. A proactive drive in this regard will have multiple effects in providing a window to address the aspirational needs of parents and students of such areas.
Sainik Schools Society invites Private/ NGOs/Govt Schools of the aforementioned states to join the initiative for the benefit of the public at large.
For any further clarification/ assistance from the Sainik School society, interested parties may communicate by email at sainikschoolaffiliation@gmail.com.

The Albrook School’s co-founder will host a book signing of her newly-published memoir
As a child, she lived through the harsh reality of World War II, growing up in the war-torn city of Bochum in Germany. She came out of that inferno to see a destroyed country.
While there was total chaos and little food, she continued to believe in a loving God. She also vowed to do something good for mankind as an antidote against all that was evil.
With the spirit of an explorer, she eventually made it to the United States and became a U S citizen. Always interested in other countries, she traveled extensively and learned about the similarities and differences among cultures.
When she saw closed doors, she dared to open them, which led to her opening a beautiful private Montessori School with a peace curriculum for children ages two to twelve.
Her life story can be seen as an inspiration for us all: from the ashes of loss and turmoil, love, peace, and unity can grow.
The author will donate all of the book’s proceeds to The Albrook School, a non-profit organization.Hong Kong – Schools advised to implement contingency plan under rainstorm warning signal
