The Cabinet Committee on Economic Affairs, chaired by the Prime Minister, Shri
Narendra Modi has approved opening of 85 new Kendriya Vidyalayas (KVs) under
Civil/Defence sector across the country and expansion of one existing KV i.e. KV
Shivamogga, District Shivamogga, Karnataka to facilitate increased number of Central
Government employees by adding two additional Sections in all the classes under the
Kendriya Vidyalaya Scheme (Central Sector Scheme). The list of these 86 KVs is
annexed.

The total estimated requirement of funds for establishment of the 85 new KVs and
expansion of 01 existing nearby KV is Rs. 5872.08 crore (approx.) spread over a period of
eight years from 2025-26. This includes capital expenditure component of Rs. 2862.71
crore (approx.) and operational expenditure of Rs. 3009.37 crore (approx.).

As on date, there are 1256 functional KVs, including 03 abroad viz. Moscow, Kathmandu
and Tehran and a total number of 13.56 lakh (approx.) students are studying in these
KVs.

The administrative structure for implementing the project will require creation of posts
at par with the norms fixed by the Sangathan for running of one full fledged KV with a
capacity of approximately 960 students. Hence, 960 X 86 = 82560 students would
benefit. As per norms in vogue, a full-fledged Kendriya Vidyalaya provides employment
to 63 persons and accordingly, approval of 85 new KVs and the expansion of one
existing nearby KV, which will add 33 new posts, a total of 5,388 direct permanent
employment opportunities will be created. Construction and allied activities associated
with augmentation of various facilities in all KVs are likely to generate employment
opportunities for many skilled and unskilled workers.
The Government of India approved the Scheme of Kendriya Vidyalayas in November
1962 to provide educational facilities of uniform standard throughout the country for
the children of transferable Central Government/Defence employees. Consequently,
“Central Schools Organization” was started as a unit of the Ministry of Education of the
Government of India. Initially, 20 Regimental Schools in Defence Stations were taken
over as Central Schools during the Academic Year 1963-64.

Kendriya Vidyalayas are primarily opened to cater to educational needs of wards of

transferable and non-transferable employees of Central Government including Defence
and Paramilitary forces and for children of floating population and others including
those living in remote and undeveloped locations in the country.
In pursuance of the National Education Policy 2020, almost all Kendriya Vidyalayas
have been designated as PM Shri schools, showcasing the implementation of NEP 2020
and acting as exemplar Schools for others. The KVs are some of the most sought after
schools, due to their quality teaching, innovative pedagogy and up-to-date
infrastructure. There has been continuous increase in the number of students applying
for admission to class I in KVs every year and the performance of the students of the
Kendriya Vidyalayas in the board examinations conducted by CBSE has consistently
been the best among all educational systems.
