Atomic Energy Education Society (AEES), an autonomous institution under the Department of Atomic Energy (DAE), Govt. of India, was established in the year 1969 with an aim to provide quality education to the students and an environment in which every student discovers and realizes his/ her full potential. AEES aspires to meet the educational needs of the children of the employees of the Department of Atomic Energy units working at different centres in the country. AEES currently administers 31 Schools/ Junior Colleges at 15 centres located all over India and provides education to over 27,000 students. At present, there are over 1400 employees out of which over 1150 belong to the teaching category.

AEES has achieved significant results in its pursuit of excellence in academics as well as co-curricular fields. The enrichment of the school libraries, computer aided education, improved sports facilities, play equipment, in-service training programmes for teachers, multimedia programmes and enrichment programmes for students have helped the institution to set new benchmarks in excellence. Construction of auditoria, additional classrooms, volleyball and basketball courts, installation of CCTV cameras in schools, and renovation of toilets have greatly contributed to the strengthening of the infrastructural facilities and safety in our schools.

AEES provides special incentives to the economically and socially deprived children living around its establishments through its Societal Enrichment and Education Programme (SEEP). This facility, meant for the children from the rural/tribal areas, is currently running at 9 centres and is extended to some of those who are admitted to various schools under RTI programme. Over 1200 children are receiving free education and other facilities under this programme.

The Government of India has given the right to free and compulsory education to all children in the age group of six to fourteen years under Right to Education Act. The same was implemented in AEES, in the year 2015-16. Over 470 students from various centres were inducted in AEES in the year 2016-17, under RTE.
