7th December 2024: In a significant move to enhance education across India, the Union Cabinet has approved the establishment of 85 new Kendriya Vidyalayas (KVs), with 8 of them earmarked for Odisha. This initiative aims to improve educational access and provide quality schooling for students in various parts of the country. The new Kendriya Vidyalayas will be spread across different regions, ensuring that students, especially in remote areas, benefit from a high standard of education. The new KVs will be located in key regions across the state, including Kuchinda (Sambalpur), Talcher and Athmallik (Angul), Kamakshanagar (Dhenkanal), ITBP Khordha (Khordha), Jaypur (Koraput), and Railway Titlagad and Patanagada (Balangir).
The approval of these schools reflects the government’s commitment to improving education infrastructure and making quality learning opportunities available to more children. In Odisha, the opening of 8 new KVs is a welcome development for students and their families, ensuring a brighter future for the next generation. This move is set to play a vital role in expanding access to education and reinforcing India’s vision of inclusive and quality education for all.
