Sainik school Balachadi is one of 20 Sainik Schools in India located in Gujarat. It is an English medium, residential school for boys providing public school education with a military bias up to 10+2 stage as per the Central Board of Secondary Education.

In 1942 Maharaja Jam Sahib established Polish Children Camp in Jamnagar-Balachadi for refugee Polish children who were brought out of the USSR during World War II. It existed until 1945, when it was closed and the children were transferred to Valivade, a quarter of a city Kolhapur.
The camp site today is part of 300 acre campus of the Sainik School, Balachadi. The Jamsaheb Digvijay Singh Jadeja School in Warsaw was established to honor this legacy. In 2016, 50 years after Jam Saheb's death, Poland's Parliament unanimously adopted a special resolution honoring Jam Saheb Digvijay Sinhji for his aid to Polish children refugees during WWII.
