Our History
Much before any one in the country thought of setting up an institution as a nursery for the National Defence Academy, Dr. Sampurnanand, the then Chief Minister of Uttar Pradesh, had the vision and foresight of conceiving the idea. Playing a pioneering role, he established a school at Lucknow as early as in 1960 to train selected students of the state for a career in Officers’ cadre of the defence force of India through the National Defence Academy. It was again his imaginative mind which so appropriately christened the school as the sainik school, a name which was borrowed by the Ministry of Defence for a chain of institutions set up by it later, based upon the model of this school. The Captain Manoj Kumar Pandey U.P. Sainik School Lucknow, thus has the distinction of being the first school of its kind in the country.
Captain Manoj Kumar Pandey U.P. Sainik School has set a high standard of sending large contingents of cadets to the National Defence Academy, even though it is the oldest sainik school in the country, numerically it is the smallest and yet its products constitute one of the biggest batches at the N.D.A. School has trained a generation of young boys of the state not only for a career in the Armed Forces of India but also for honourable places in fields such as engineering, medicine,Business, All India Administrative Services including I.A.S. and I.P.S. This institution is affiliated to CBSE, New Delhi. The School is run by the U.P. Sainik School Society with the Chief Minister, Uttar Pradesh as its Chairman.
