Rashtriya Military Schools were established as King George's Royal Indian Military Schools to provide education to the sons of defense personnel. In 1952, the schools were reorganized along the lines of public schools, and admission was opened to sons of Defense Service Officers as well as civilians. The school became a member of the Indian Public Schools Conference (IPSC) in 1954, and it remains an active member to this day. In 1966, the schools were renamed Military Schools, and their old motto, "Play the Game," was replaced with "Sheelem Param Bhushanam," which means "Character is the Highest Virtue." On June 25th, 2007, the schools were given their present name, "Rashtriya Military School." Many of the school's alumni have gone on to hold high positions in the Armed Forces and other sectors, and have done exemplary service to the country.
