About : Sainik School Kazhakootam, Thiruvananthapuram, Kerala, India, is located 18 km away from Thiruvananthapuram city on the National Highway 47.
The concept of the Sainik school originated in the mind of late V K Krishna Menon, who was India's first Defence Minister (1957-1962). He felt that a school run on military lines, in each state of India, would provide the intake to the National Defence Academy. Moreover, the high levels of physical, mental and intellectual attainments needed for induction into the Officer Cadre could not be nurtured in the common schools, mainly because of the lack of infrastructure facilities.
