Uttar Pradesh now boasts 127 Kendriya Vidyalayas expanding learning opportunities

Lucknow : In a significant achievement for the Yogi Adityanath-led government in Uttar Pradesh, the state is set to have five new Kendriya Vidyalayas (KVs) in near future. The Union Cabinet has approved the proposal and the schools will be established in Ayodhya, Jaunpur, Kannauj, Bijnor, and Maharajganj, raising the total number of Kendriya Vidyalayas in the state to 127 — the highest in the country.

It is worth mentioning here that the Yogi government has been tirelessly working for the last seven and a half years, driving transformative changes in the education sector across Uttar Pradesh.
Under the leadership of CM Yogi, the state has witnessed significant improvements in infrastructure and teaching methodologies, empowering students to excel in both national and international competitions.

The addition of these new schools is expected to further elevate the state’s education standards and bring students previously deprived of quality education into the mainstream. The initiative underscores the Yogi government’s commitment to fostering a better future for the children of Uttar Pradesh.

Each of the new schools will have a capacity of 960 students and will create 63 permanent employment opportunities. Collectively, the five schools will provide high-quality education to 4,800 students while generating 315 permanent jobs.

The Kendriya Vidyalaya in Ayodhya will be the second in the district, located in Chandpur Harvansh, ensuring greater access to quality education for local students. Similarly, schools will be established in Payagpur (Jaunpur), Maharajganj, Kannauj, and Bijnor to cater to the growing demand for Kendriya Vidyalaya admissions.

Currently, Uttar Pradesh operates 122 Kendriya Vidyalayas across three divisions: Agra (37 schools), Lucknow (48 schools), and Varanasi (37 schools). With the addition of these new schools, the state strengthens its position as a leader in the Kendriya Vidyalaya network, offering the highest number of such institutions in India.

All Kendriya Vidyalayas in the state, including the upcoming ones, will be designated as PM Shri Schools, adhering to the National Education Policy 2020. These schools are known for their modern infrastructure, innovative teaching methods, and quality education, making them highly sought-after by parents and students alike.

With this development, Uttar Pradesh continues its march towards becoming a symbol of educational excellence under CM Yogi Adityanath’s leadership. The collaboration between the state and central governments is set to transform the education landscape, offering students a pathway to a brighter future.
