School plays a vital role in developing future leaders of the Indian Armed Forces
The primary goal of Sainik School Ghorakhal is to prepare students academically, mentally, and physically for admission into the National Defence Academy (NDA) and Indian Naval Academy (INA). Principal Ghodakhal school and Group Captain Vijay Singh Dangwal emphasized the school’s crucial role in developing future leaders of the Indian Armed Forces. Ghorakhal Sainik School offers a structured and rigorous framework to prepare young candidates for military careers.
Its name has roots in history
Ghorakhal Sainik School was established on March 21, 1966. Its name has an interesting origin. During the 1857 freedom struggle, a British general was wandering in the area to escape from the revolutionaries. While drinking water from a local pond, the general’s horse died. Since then, the locals have called the place Ghorakhal, which translates to “horse pond.”
9-time trophy winner, top performer in NDA
Since its foundation, Sainik School Ghorakhal has made significant contributions to NDA admissions. Principal Group Captain Vijay Singh Dangwal proudly announced that the school has been honored with the Raksha Mantri Trophy nine times, with a tenth trophy soon to be added to its achievements. Recently, the school once again demonstrated its excellence by topping the NDA written examination among 33 Sainik Schools. The principal congratulated the cadets, faculty, and staff for this success and expressed hope that the school will continue to achieve similar successes in the future.
