KVS Mission and Vision
The
idea of encouraging the growth
of Secondary Schools with a
common syllabus and medium of
instruction for the benefit
of the children of Central Government
employees, including defence
personnel liable to frequent
transfers was first approved
in November, 1962, by the Government
of India. Consequently, Central
Schools Organisation was started
as a unit of the Ministry of
Education, now Ministry of Human
Resource Development of the
Govt. of India, so that the
education of their children
was not disrupted due to their
frequent and sudden transfers
in public interest. Initially,
20 Regimental Schools, then
functioning at places having
large concentration of defence
personnel, were taken over as
Central Schools during the academic
year 1963-64.
In 1965, an autonomous body,
namely, Kendriya Vidyalaya Sangathan
was registered as a Society
under Societies Registration
Act XXI of 1860 which took over
the task of opening and managing
the Central Schools, henceforth
called Kendriya Vidyalayas.
Over the years, the number of
Kendriya Vidyalayas are growing
in numbers nearing the 1000
mark. The Kendriya Vidyalayas
have a four-fold mission, namely,
to cater to the educational
needs of children of transferable
Central Government employees
including Defence and Para-military
personnel by providing a common
programme of education; to pursue
excellence and set the pace
in the field of school education;to
initiate and promote experimentation
and innovations in education
in collaboration with other
bodies like the Central Board
of Secondary Education (CBSE),
the National Council of Educational
Research and Training (NCERT)
etc. and to develop the spirit
of national integration and
create a sense of 'Indianness'
among children.
