ALL GIRLS SAINIK SCHOOLS

By PIB Delhi

All 33 Sainik Schools established under the erstwhile pattern in the country, including the three Sainik Schools at Amethi, Jhansi, and Mainpuri in Uttar Pradesh, are co-educational. The establishment of an all-girls Sainik School under the erstwhile pattern is not under consideration.

Under the initiative of setting up of 100 new Sainik Schools in partnership mode with NGOs/Private/State Government Schools in all State/UTs, there is no restriction for setting up of all-girls Sainik Schools. In this regard, one school i.e., Samvid Gurukulam Senior Secondary School, Mathura in Uttar Pradesh has been approved as an all-girls Sainik School.
