Kendriya Vidyalaya is an arrangement of primary and secondary education in India, which is mainly designed for the children of the employees of the Central Government of India. It started in 1963 and is affiliated to the Central Board of Secondary Education of India since then. It was recommended by the Pay Commission that the government should make a plan so that the education of the children of transferable central government employees is not interrupted. As a result, the Central School Organization was started as a unit of the Ministry of Education, Government of India. Initially, during the academic year 1963-64, 20 Regimental Schools running at places with concentration of security personnel were taken over as Kendriya Vidyalayas. The “Central School Organisation” was “registered as a Society” on 15th December, 1965 under the Societies Registration Act (XXI of 1860) and renamed as “Kendriya Vidyalaya Sangathan” on 3rd July, 1967. The main objective of KVS is to provide resources, maintain, control and manage the Central Schools (Kendriya Vidyalayas) established in the country and abroad. The entire (100 percent) funding of the organization is done by the Government of India. Year by year the number of Kendriya Vidyalayas is increasing and till 31.03.2023 their number has increased to 1252.[2] In addition to this, there are three Kendriya Vidyalayas abroad in which the children of the employees of Indian Embassies and other overseas Indians study. The schools follow the curriculum of the National Council of Educational Research and Training of India. All Kendriya Vidyalayas are run by an organization called Kendriya Vidyalaya Sangathan.
