India Today
For the first time since its establishment, Sainik School Lucknow has a woman officer as Principal, marking a historic moment in the school's 65-year journey and signalling a new phase in its leadership.
For the first time in its 65-year history, Sainik School Lucknow has a woman at its helm. Colonel Seema Mishra has taken charge as the principal of the school, marking a quiet but significant moment in the institution’s long association with military tradition and leadership. The appointment was formally announced in December last year, following an order issued by the Ministry of Defence on October 30.
Colonel Mishra replaces Colonel Rajesh Raghav, who had assumed charge as principal in 2021, during the peak of the Covid-19 pandemic.
The appointment has been made for a tenure of two years.
Soon after taking charge, Colonel Mishra addressed members of the school’s alumni and staff. She spoke about preserving the legacy of Sainik School Lucknow while adapting it to present-day needs.
Colonel Mishra brings with her over two decades of experience in the Army Education Corps. She was commissioned in 2003 and has since served in a range of instructional and administrative roles.
She earlier became the first woman officer to be appointed administrative officer at Rashtriya Military School, Belagavi. She has also served as vice principal of Sainik School Kapurthala and as an instructor at the Indian Military Academy in Dehradun.
