Rashtriya Military School Bangalore is a military boarding school in Bangalore, Karnataka, India.[1] It was established on 1 August 1946 and is one of only five RMS (Rashtriya Military School, formerly called Royal Indian Military Schools) of its kind in India; the other four being Chail Military School established in 1922, Ajmer Military School in 1930, Belgaum Military School in 1945, and Dholpur Military School in 1962. The cadets enrolled in these schools are known as Georgians, after their founder father King George VI.[2]
RIMC (established in 1922), 5 RMSs and various Sainik Schools contribute 30% to 40% to various training academies of the Armed Forces. RIMC and RMS (Rashtriya Military School which were formerly called Royal Indian Military Schools) were established by the government after the World War I to Indianise the British Colonial Military in India by providing western style education with the aim to prepare the potential pool of future military officers.[3] Oldest private military school is Bhonsala Military School established in 1937, which is not a RMS.
