School Gate, 2002 Too many sweet memories, too many nauseating moments... the refreshing breeze.... mesmerising...	Tialaya Dam, 2002 It was banned (out of campus) for us, yet, every HOLI, the boys would be there only ☺

	School Bell, 2002 Our School bell in OAT. Open Air Theatre. The place where we watch innumerable movies on Saturday Evenings... summer, winter, autumn & rain... under open sky... getting drenched under raincoats... The place which doubled up as Assembly place in morning for prayers & news recital... The place which used to serve as lecture/punishing ground, after almost every Saturday movie.....

Sainik Schools

The Scheme to establish Sainik Schools was started in 1961 to broad base recruitment and remove regional imbalance in the officer's cadre of Defence Forces. Sainik Schools are joint venture of the Central and States Governments. At present 18 Sainik Schools are being administered by Sainik Schools Society. Two Sainik Schools one each at Nalanda and Gopalgung in Bihar are being open this year. The Sainik Schools are fully residential and admit students in classes VI & IX only, strictly in order of merit decided as per the All India Sainik Schools Entrance Examination, held in February each year subject to medical fitness. The medium of instructions in Sainik Schools is English although knowledge of English is not a pre-requisite for admission in these schools. Schools give due attention to both co-curricular and extra-curricular activities for all round development of their cadets. These Schools are affiliated to Central Board of Secondary Education and follow 10+2 pattern in science stream only.

During the year 2002, a total of 108 students from Sainik Schools joined NDA, which takes about 600 cadets every year. Besides, 16 students joined Navy and Army through technical 10+2 entry scheme during 2001. As on date, about 6000 officers of the Defence Forces are alumni of Sainik Schools.
