(KVS) is a system of premier central
government schools in India that are
instituted under the aegis of the Ministry
of Education (MHRD), Government of
India. As of October 2020, it has a
total of 1239 schools. It is one of the

system came into being in 1963 under the name ‘Central Schools’. Later, the name was
changed to Kendriya Vidyalaya. Its schools are all affiliated to the Central Board of
Secondary Education (CBSE). The objective of KVS is to cater to the educational needs
of the children of transferable Central Government employees including Defence and
Para-Military personnel by providing a common programme of education.
