MINISTER OF STATE FOR HUMAN RESOURCE DEVELOPMENT (PROF. RITA VERMA)


(a) to (c) : There are 213 Lok Sabha Constituencies at present which do not have Kendriya Vidyalayas and therefore admission could not be provided to any child from these constituencies. Kendriya Vidyalayas are not opened constituency-wise and there is no provision in guidelines to the effect that MP’s may recommend admission of children from their constituency in the KVs in neighboring constituencies. The existing guidelines for admission on special dispensations have been framed in the light of observations made by the Hon’ble High Court, Delhi.

(d) There is no such proposal under consideration at present.
