(a) At present, no Kendriya Vidyalaya is functioning in the
Union Territory of Daman and Diu.
(b),(c)&(d) A proposal was received from the Administrator,
Union Territories of Daman and Diu and Dadra and Nagar Haveli
for opening two Kendriya Vidyalayas one each at Daman and Diu.
Sites and the facilities proposed to be provided by the
sponsors were got surveyed by KVS and according to survey
report neither of the two places has the required
infrastructure for opening the Kendriya Vidyalaya. Adequate
number of Central Government/ public Sector Undertakings’
employees around the proposed sites is not available and
because of this enrolment of minimum number of children is not
assured.
