Rigorous curriculum
“As we believe that a sound mind resides in a sound body, the school has a rigorous training curriculum. It is very heartening to note that our school has bagged such impressive results,” said Captain (Indian Navy) Vikrant Kishore, the Principal of Kalikiri Sainik School. He lauded the efforts of the Vice-Principal Lt. Col. Ishani Maitra and the fellow teachers for their collective stupendous effort in achieving the results in the very first attempt.
