(a) to (c): Sainik  Schools  get  funds  from  three  sources  viz.,  Ministry  of Defence, State Governments  and fee from parents. Ministry of Defence is providing  financial  assistance  to  all  Sainik  Schools  for  infrastructure development,  IT  training,  additionality  towards  pay  &  allowances,  NDA incentive,  defence  scholarship  etc.    State  Governments  provide  financial support for maintenance of infrastructure, scholarships and grant-in-aid for special requirements. Fee paid by the parents varies from School to School as it fluctuates based on the amount of scholarship provided by the States. Fee  structure  of  the  Schools  has  not  been  revised  since  2010  which  is widening the gap between income received from tuition fee and expenditure towards pay & allowances and pensions of the staff.  Details of financial assistance provided by the Central  Government  and  State Governments  to  various  Sainik  Schools  during  the  last  three  years  are given in Annexure-I & II respectively. In case of a shortfall, Sainik Schools approach respective State Governments to make up the deficit. In addition, Ministry  of  Defence  also  take  up  such  matters  with  the  concerned  State Governments.
