20 July 1962\u2026 the historic date on which the Vindhya region of Madhya Pradesh gained a new identity in the form of Sainik School Rewa. While nature gave the land of the white tiger, Rewa, remarkable gifts, this soil also dedicated to the country an institution that prepares brave sons for nation-building. The most important contribution to laying the foundation of this proud institution came from Maharaja Martand Singh Judev, the last ruler of the Rewa princely state, who generously donated his personal wealth in the national interest.<\/p>\n

When other royals protected their property, Rewa\u2019s king donated his estate<\/h3>\n

After Independence, when most rulers of princely states rushed to safeguard their property or put it to commercial use, with many palaces converted into hotels, Maharaja Martand Singh went the opposite way and dedicated his estate to the nation in the spirit of Bhamashah.<\/p>\n

He donated Yuvraj Bhawan, a grand royal palace, to the Sainik School, and also dedicated about 301 acres of green land to education and service to the nation. His donations were not limited to buildings or land. Wherever there was a need, he generously supported the development of Rewa.<\/p>\n

Phalaknuma Kothi housed an ITI as of that date.<\/p>\n

Vyankat Bhawan, once a grand palace, was then an archaeological museum.<\/p>\n

To begin industrialisation, he gave 100 acres of land to the Birla Group almost free of cost, where the Tamas factory was set up.<\/p>\n

Establishment of Sainik School Rewa: a national heritage<\/h3>\n

In 1961 the Ministry of Defence began a series of Sainik Schools with the aim of preparing students for the National Defence Academy (NDA). During the search for land, Maharaja Martand Singh came forward and offered not only land but also his palace, Yuvraj Bhawan.<\/p>\n

Appreciating this contribution, the Government of India established Sainik School at Rewa on 20 July 1962. Colonel R. R. Narang was appointed the first principal. Through his strict discipline, excellent teaching standards and organisational skill, the school came to rank among the country\u2019s top military educational institutions.<\/p>\n

A symbol of national unity and valour<\/h3>\n

Sainik School Rewa became not merely an educational institution but a symbol of national unity.<\/p>\n

Students from every corner of the country, from Kashmir to Kanyakumari and from Kutch to Kolkata, began to seek admission here. It became every parent\u2019s dream that their son would be part of this proud institution.<\/p>\n

The school\u2019s cadets had repeatedly proved their courage.<\/p>\n

In the 1971 India-Pakistan war, students of this school got their first opportunity to serve.<\/p>\n

In every military conflict and counter-terrorism operation, officers trained at Sainik School Rewa had been on the front line.<\/p>\n

Proud achievements<\/h3>\n

Army chief General Upendra Dwivedi<\/h3>\n

Navy chief Admiral Dinesh Kumar Tripathi<\/h3>\n

Both were former students of this school.<\/p>\n

In addition\u2014<\/h3>\n

3 Vir Chakras<\/h3>\n

3 Shaurya Chakras<\/h3>\n

Several gallantry awards<\/h3>\n

were recorded in the school\u2019s name.<\/p>\n

Not only in the military: alumni of the school had also done notable work at the national level in the administrative services, journalism, education and literature.<\/p>\n

On this foundation day…<\/h3>\n

On that day, tribute was paid to the brave warriors who came out of this land and gave their all in defence of the nation.<\/p>\n

Repeated salutations were offered to the late Maharaja Martand Singh, who made this invaluable contribution without any personal interest.<\/p>\n

Salutes were offered to Colonel R. R. Narang, whose hard work took this institution to the pinnacle of excellence.<\/p>\n

Sainik School Rewa was not just a school but a laboratory of nation-building, where every morning, to the echo of the national anthem, future soldiers learned the lesson of duty and patriotism.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
