Kendriya Vidyalaya admission process 2022

The Kendriya Vidyalayas, often known as Central Schools, are India's public schools. The educational quality is on a level with, if not better than, that of the best private institutions in the country. Under the Ministry of Human Resource Development, the Kendriya Vidyalaya Sangathan, or Chain of Central Schools, was established (MHRD). It has 1,248 schools in India and three abroad, in Moscow, Tehran, and Kathmandu, as of August 2021. Kendriya Vidyalaya Headquarters in New Delhi oversees the system, which is divided into 25 regional offices and five Zonal Institutes of Education and Training. The Central Board of Secondary Education oversees all of the schools (CBSE). Every school in India follows a standardised curriculum.

The Kendriya Vidyalayas are designed to ensure that the children of government employees do not encounter educational disadvantages when their parents are relocated from one region to another by providing a unified syllabus and educational system. It was founded with the goal of educating the children of Indian Defence Forces personnel stationed in remote areas. Later, the service was expanded to all central government employees and staff, but it was not limited to them.
