Kendriya Vidyalayas
Kendriya Vidyalayas (KVs) were established in 1963 under the name “Central Schools” to cater to the educational needs of the children of transferable central government employees, including defence and paramilitary personnel.
These schools were later renamed as Kendriya Vidyalayas and brought under the administrative control of the Kendriya Vidyalaya Sangathan (KVS), an autonomous body under the Ministry of Education, Government of India.
The primary aim of Kendriya Vidyalayas is to provide uniform and high-quality education across India and abroad, especially in locations where government employees are frequently transferred.
Affiliated with the Central Board of Secondary Education (CBSE), Kendriya Vidyalayas are known for their academic discipline, experienced faculty, and holistic student development.
