In a cabinet meeting chaired by Prime Minister Narendra Modi, the government approved the establishment of 85 new Kendriya Vidyalayas (KVs) and 28 Navodaya Vidyalayas (NVs) across the country. This significant move aims to enhance the quality of education in both rural and urban areas, offering excellent learning opportunities to a greater number of students.

Thousands of Students to Benefit: Union Minister Ashwini Vaishnaw highlighted that the government will allocate Rs 5,872 crore for the Kendriya Vidyalayas and Rs 2,360 crore for the Navodaya Vidyalayas.
