About Rashtriya Military School

Rashtriya Military schools were established as King George’s Royal Indian Military schools. The one and only purpose was to take care of the education of sons of defence personnel. In 1952, the schools were reorganized and admissions were made open to the sons of Defence Service Officers and civilians. The school became a member of the Indian Public Schools Conference (IPSC) in 1954 and is an active member of IPSC. In 1966, the schools were renamed Military Schools. Its old motto, ‘Play the Game’ was replaced with ‘Sheelem Param Bhushanam’ which means Character is the Highest Virtue. On 25th June 2007, the school got its name “Rashtriya Military School”.
