The necessity for similar Institutions was felt in other military cantonments. As a consequence RSI Secunderabad was established in 1951 in an imposing old building of year 1875 vintage. The Institute was inaugurated by Mrs DargalkarW/o Brig KO Dargalkar on 09 Feb 1951 in the old Offrs Mess building of the then Deccan Sub Area.
