Principal Message
On assuming charge of Principal of Sainik School Ambikapur,
I (Colonel Jitendra Dogra) feel honoured and privileged to have been entrusted with the
responsibility to lead one of the youngest Sainik Schools of the country. I extend my warmest greetings and good wishes to all the cadets and their parents, all the staff members and their families for a happy and prosperous life.
I (Cdr Tajinder Singh Gill) feel honoured and excited to assume over the office of Vice-Principal, Sainik School Ambikapur.
It is awe-inspiring to learn that Ambikans have proved their mettle in all spheres of the activities with their resounding performance. All these achievements and laurels are a testimony to the inexorable hard-work put in by the dedicated staff & cadets and the path shown by the officers.
It brings in immense pride and a deep sense of responsibility, as I (Lt Col S Roland Singh) take over the duties of Administrative Officer SS Ambikapur.
Despite its humble beginning and lack of infrastructural facilities, it is heartening to know that our school has made an indelible mark among Sainik Schools of our country in short span of only six years.
