KORUKONDA (VIZIANAGARAM): The Sainik Schoolgirl cadets for the first time since its inception in 1962. After the Sainik School at Chhingchhip in Mizoram started the induction of girls on a pilot basis three years ago, the initiative has been now extended to all 33 Sainik Schools across the country. 

As part of its ‘welcome’ to the first batch of girl cadets, the school is allocating a separate hostel block and recruiting a female matron, physical training (PT) instructor, nursing assistant and an ‘ayah’. To start with, 10 seats would be allocated to girl students out of a total intake of 80 students in class VI. The admission process is already on.
