The saga of Chittorgarh is located, is replete with heroic tales of romance and chivalry. Its history revolves around its ancient fort which dates back to 566 AD when the reign of Mewar and Sisodias occupied a very special niche in the annals of Rajputana. It was a dynasty which upheld the values and kept alive its traditional independence. Over the centuries, Chittorgarh was attacked by Allauddin Khilji, Bahadur Shah of Malwa, and Mughal Emperor, Akbar. The Rajput rulers displayed exemplary heroism, choosing death to dishonor, when the Fort was finally annexed to the Mughal Empire in 1567.

School Crest & motto:

Victory Tower of Chittorgarh was built by Rana Kumbha in 1440 AD to commemorate his victory over the combined forces of the neighboring kingdom of Malwa and Gujarat. Sainik School Chittorgarh has aptly selected this Vijay Stambh as the main motif of its crest with the rising sun, a symbol of the solar class of Rajputs, as the backdrops thus truly symbolizing its motto ‘Dignity and Valour’.
