(b) if so, the details thereof; and the reasons therefor?

THE MINISTER OF HUMAN RESOURCE DEVELOPMENT (DR.MURLI MANOHAR JOSHI)

(a) & (b) : Kendriya Vidyalaya Sangathan runs two types of Vidyalays i.e.
(i) Civil and Defence sector Vidyalayas which are financed by the grants received from the Government of India and
(ii) Project Vidyalayas which are financed by the sponsoring public sector undertakings and which primarily cater to the educational needs of the children of the employees of such public sector undertakings. Uniform fee is charged from the children of Government employees and others in the Civil and Defence Sector Kendriya Vidyalayas. Since some of the Project Sector sponsoring authorities are facing resource constraints and are unable to fulfil their financial commitment Kendriya Vidyalaya Sangathan has permitted the sponsoring authorities to prescribe different the scale of fees to be charged from the students in Project Sector Vidyalayas as they may consider appropriate.
