In a significant move to expand educational access and infrastructure across the country, the Union Cabinet of India, led by Prime Minister Narendra Modi, has approved the establishment of 113 new schools. This includes the creation of 85 new Kendriya Vidyalayas (KVs) and 28 new Navodaya Vidyalayas (NVs). The initiative, valued at over ₹8,231.9 crore, aims to enhance educational access for approximately 98,240 students and generate over 6,700 jobs, especially in rural and underprivileged areas.

The expansion of Kendriya Vidyalayas and Navodaya Vidyalayas aligns with India’s vision of improving educational infrastructure in remote and economically disadvantaged regions. This is a significant part of the country’s ongoing efforts to implement the National Education Policy 2020. Under this policy, the government is committed to improving access to quality education, fostering inclusive education, and ensuring that students from rural and underserved communities can access high-quality schooling.

The Kendriya Vidyalayas have traditionally served children of central government employees, while the Navodaya Vidyalayas aim to provide excellence in education to talented students from rural areas. These new additions will strengthen India’s educational framework and provide better opportunities for students in regions such as Gujarat, Uttarakhand, Jammu & Kashmir, and Arunachal Pradesh, all of which will directly benefit from this expansion.

The project is part of India’s broader commitment to creating a 'Viksit Bharat' or Developed India, where education is a cornerstone for progress. With a total cost exceeding ₹8,231.9 crore, the initiative is poised to make a substantial difference in enhancing the country’s educational system. The expansion of these Vidyalayas will not only enhance educational infrastructure but also create over 6,700 jobs in teaching and administration, further contributing to local economies.

States across the nation have welcomed the government’s move, expressing gratitude for the focus on bolstering education infrastructure. This decision is expected to be a game-changer for the nation’s educational landscape, creating a ripple effect that will improve the quality of education and provide much-needed opportunities for students in rural areas.

With the establishment of these schools, India is reinforcing its commitment to providing equitable access to education, thereby bridging the gap between urban and rural educational opportunities. This move is seen as a step toward fostering a more inclusive, prosperous, and educated India.
