Govt to add Two hundred more Kendriya Vidyalayas
Written by Administrator on January 19th, 2010The Government has initiated the process of expanding the network of Kendriya Vidyalayas in the country by opening another 200 such schools during the 11th Plan period.
The HRD Ministry has projected a requirement of Rs 813.7 crore for the purpose as the Planning Commission has given “in principle” support for the project.
At present, there are 981 Kendriya Vidyalayas which cater to the educational needs of children of Central Government employees including Defence and Para-Military personnel who are frequently transferred.
“There is a proposal for opening 200 KVs during the 11th Plan in metros, areas having sufficient concentration of defence or para-military forces and areas with high concentration of Central government personnel. The Planning Commission has supported this proposal in principle,” a ministry official said.
The locations will be decided on the basis of local demands and feasibility of proposals.

Before opening new schools govt should consolidate infrastructure for the schools. Many schools are running in temporary building with not even basic amenities in the school like washrooms, furniture, fans etc. It’s true that every citizen has the basic right of education but on the name of the same it should be quality education rather than erecting buildings and making fool of gullible and poor citizens.
