About Kendriya Vidyalaya Sangathan (KVS)

Kendriya Vidyalaya Sangathan (KVS) is an autonomous body under the Ministry of Education, Government of India, tasked with the management and administration of Kendriya Vidyalayas (KVs) across the country. It was established in 1963, with the primary objective of providing quality education to the children of central government employees, especially those who are frequently transferred across various locations.

Key Objectives of KVS:

To provide uniform and high-quality education to children of Indian government employees, particularly those with transferable jobs.
To offer an educational environment that fosters academic excellence along with the development of values, leadership, and citizenship.
To maintain a strong focus on national integration and promote awareness of India's diverse culture, heritage, and history.

Key Features of KVS:

Nationwide Presence:
KVS operates over 1,200 Kendriya Vidyalayas in both urban and rural areas, including remote and hilly regions, ensuring education is accessible to children of central government employees in various parts of India. There are also a few KVs located abroad.
Holistic Development:
KVS focuses not just on academic performance but on the holistic development of students. It encourages participation in sports, arts, culture, and other extracurricular activities to nurture well-rounded individuals.
CBSE Curriculum:
KVS schools follow the CBSE (Central Board of Secondary Education) curriculum, which is recognized nationwide and ensures standardized, high-quality education for all students.
Inclusive Education:
KVS is committed to providing opportunities for all students, including those with special needs, ensuring that every child can access the best education possible, regardless of their background.
