"a significant step towards strengthening access to quality education in the region - Chief Minister Pushkar Singh Dhami"

Dehradun, April 6

Chief Minister Pushkar Singh Dhami on Monday expressed gratitude to the Central government for approving the establishment of a new Kendriya Vidyalaya in Madannegi in Tehri Garhwal district, calling it a significant step towards strengthening access to quality education in the region.

According to official information, the Kendriya Vidyalaya Sangathan has granted approval for setting up the school under the civil sector. The institution is scheduled to commence operations from the academic session 2026-27.

Welcoming the decision, the Chief Minister said that the opening of a Kendriya Vidyalaya in Madannegi will benefit children from the town as well as nearby rural areas, who often face challenges in accessing quality educational institutions. He noted that the new school would not only provide a standardised and high-quality curriculum but also help in strengthening the overall educational infrastructure in the region.

Dhami further emphasised that both the Centre and the state government are working in close coordination to promote education and create better opportunities for the youth. He added that such initiatives play a crucial role in shaping the future of students and contributing to the state's long-term development.

In its initial phase, the Kendriya Vidyalaya will start with classes 1 to 5, with one section in each class. Officials said that the school will be gradually expanded in the coming years based on demand, infrastructure readiness, and necessary approvals. The admission process is expected to begin within 30 days after the completion of all required formalities.

The development comes as part of a broader initiative by the Government of India to expand the network of central schools across the country. Notably, approval has been granted for the establishment of 85 new Kendriya Vidyalayas nationwide, aimed at improving access to quality education and catering to the needs of students in underserved areas.

The Kendriya Vidyalaya in Madannegi is among the institutions approved under this initiative, marking an important milestone for the education sector in Tehri Garhwal district.

While I welcome the step, I hope the government ensures it's not just an announcement. The timeline says 2026-27, which is far away. They should speed up the process. Also, starting with only one section per class might create admission pressure. Planning should be better.

Good coordination between Centre and State is visible here. KV schools provide excellent education at a reasonable cost. This will be a boon for middle-class families in the hills. Jai Uttarakhand!

As someone who studied in a KV, I can say the standardized curriculum and focus on all-round development is great. Hope they also incorporate some local Uttarakhand culture and environmental studies relevant to the Himalayan region.

This is a positive step, but the government must not neglect the existing state government schools in the area. Improving their quality is equally important. A single KV cannot cater to all. The focus should be on strengthening the entire ecosystem.

Finally! My relatives in that area have been asking for this for years. Children had to stay in hostels from a young age. This will keep families together and reduce the financial burden of private schools. Thank you to both governments. 🤗
