The Kendriya Vidyalaya Sangathan (KVS) has announced the opening of four new Kendriya Vidyalayas in Jammu and Kashmir, Bihar, Uttar Pradesh, and Uttarakhand for the 2026-27 academic session. The newly approved schools include Kendriya Vidyalaya Madan Negi in Tehri Garhwal, Uttarakhand, and Kendriya Vidyalaya Gool in Ramban district, Jammu and Kashmir, both part of the 85 Kendriya Vidyalayas sanctioned in December 2024. Additionally, Kendriya Vidyalaya No. 3 Darbhanga in Bihar and Kendriya Vidyalaya Shamli in Uttar Pradesh were approved as part of 57 schools in October 2025. These institutions will initially operate with single sections for foundational levels, including Balvatika and Classes I to V, expanding in a phased manner as needed. The schools will utilize temporary campuses, including government school premises, until permanent facilities are constructed. The admission process for these new Kendriya Vidyalayas will conclude within 30 days after the completion of land transfer and temporary facility arrangements, with KVS already initiating the admission process for the upcoming academic year.
