Amid India’s evolving educational landscape, rural schools stand as dynamic catalysts for change. These institutions transcend geographical barriers by integrating cutting-edge technology, disciplined frameworks, and innovative teaching methods into underserved communities. In turn, they inspire students from disadvantaged backgrounds to aspire boldly, strive relentlessly, and build resilience daily. Embodying this ethos of upliftment and distinction, Sri Rama Rural Sainik School earned the “Distinguished CBSE School of the Year 2025” accolade for advancing Digital Literacy and exemplifying Smart Infrastructure, at the Education Excellence Awards & Summit 2025, exemplifying its remarkable longevity as the longest surviving rural institution in the region.
Seven Decades of Shaping Futures
Sri Rama Rural Sainik School was established in 1949 by the visionary Late Kolasani Venkata Subbaiah Chowdary in the rural heartland of the Guntur district. From humble beginnings, the school has grown over more than seven decades into a symbol of excellence, and now affiliated to the CBSE board and offering academic courses from LKG-10th.
Today, the institution is guided by a dedicated leadership team comprising Mr. Tulasi Prasad (Chairman) and Mr. Srikanth (Director), whose dedicated guidance continues to uphold the founder’s vision of service, patriotism, and educational integrity.
A Philosophy Rooted in Values and Service
Sri Rama Rural Sainik School thrives on 4 C’s – Care, Co-operation, Collaboration and Courtesy, which acts as their core principles. Education here is not confined to classrooms, it is a lifelong process of shaping young minds to think critically,
act responsibly, and serve society selflessly. The institution believes that true learning lies in character formation as much as intellectual achievement.
A Campus Designed for Holistic Growth
Located in the region of Chilumuru, Kolluru Mandal, Guntur District, Andhra Pradesh, the campus offers a structured yet nurturing environment. The campus features smart classrooms that support interactive learning, computer laboratories and science labs, a well-stocked library housing over 10,000 books, vast playgrounds for sports and physical training, residential hostels and structured physical training programmes essential for leadership development.
The school’s residential environment plays a vital role in shaping independence, teamwork, and emotional maturity, qualities essential for future leaders in defence services and civil administration.
Beyond academics, the school places strong emphasis on discipline, patriotism, and leadership formation, coupled with structured routines, physical training, and guided mentorship.

In sports, the school has notched notable victories, such as the Eenadu T20 Championship. A landmark achievement arrived in 2022–23 when the Ministry of Defence officially recognized it as a Sainik School, unlocking focused pathways for students into the armed forces, civil services, and leadership roles.
