NCC Coy (JD/SD) SAINIK SCHOOL BHUBANESWAR
COY’S HISTORY
Sainik School Bhubaneswar was started by Late Shri Biju Patnaik Chief Minister of Orissa on 15 Jan 1962 in an adhoc government accommodation. The new building and infrastructure was brought up within two years at the present location under personal care of Shri Biju Patnaik and was inaugurated by Pt. Jawaharlal Nehru on 08 Jan 1964. The primary aim and the objective of Sainik Schools is to prepare boys academically, physically and mentally for entry into the National Defence Academy. Moreover, the high level of physical, mental and intellectual attainments needed for induction into the Officer Cadre which could not be nurtured in the common schools, mainly because of lack of infrastructure facilities.
Sainik School NCC Coy (JD) came into existence with the establishment of the school in the year 1962. NCC training was compulsory for all the cadets of the school up to Class XI till the year 1996 .
From the year 1996, Class XII has also been included and the cadets have now been divided into JD & SD wings. The present strength of the Coy comprises of two SD troops and seven JD troops including one each of Naval Wing (JD) and Air Wing (JD).
