MINISTER OF STATE IN THE MINISTRY OF EDUCATION

The proposals are subject to approval of the competent authority as per extant procedures. The Government of India has sanctioned/approved 1408 Kendriya Vidyalayas (KVs) as on date, out of which 1289 KVs have already been opened and made functional while the remaining 119 KVs (including 55 KVs sanctioned in December, 2024 and 57 KVs sanctioned in October, 2025) are non-functional on account of non-transfer of suitable requisite extent of land, free of cost and non- availability of temporary accommodation from the Sponsoring Authorities / State Governments, as per Kendriya Vidyalaya Sangathan (KVS) norms.
(c) In the last five years, overall numbers of fresh admissions has seen an upward trend despite removal of discretionary quotas and special provisions and the efforts to maintain Pupil Teacher Ratio (PTR) as per policy and statutory provisions.
