government. The system came into being in 1963 . The uniform curriculum followed all over India is intended to ensure that wards of government employees do not face educational difficulties when their parent and family are transferred from one place to another.

A few Indian embassies abroad have a school of this type for the children of the embassy officials and expatriate Indian population (if a parent is a government employee). There are 931 Kendriya Vidyalayas at present including 3 abroad; one each at Kathmandu, Moscow and Tehran. The 931 Kendriya Vidyalayas have been divided amongst 21 regions each headed by an Assistant Commissioner.

In such schools, no discrimination is made between the child of a top government official and that of a lowly-placed government employee. It is held that this school system facilitates national integration at the grassroots level. Student achievements are excellent when compared to other government schools.

Alumni of these schools can be found all over the world. The schools are affiliated with the Central Board Of Secondary Education in Delhi .


SCHOOL PRAYER


असतो मा सद् गमय:

तमसो मा ज्योतिर्गमय

मृत्योर्मामृतं गमय


दया कर दान विद्या का हमें परमात्मा देना

दया करना हमारी आत्मा में शुद्धता देना

हमारे ध्यान में आओ प्रभू आँखों में बस जाओ

अँधेरे दिल में आकर के प्रभू ज्योति जगा देना

बहा दो प्रम की गंगा दिलों में प्रेम का सागर

हमें आपस में मिल-जुल कर प्रभु रहना सिखा देना

हमारा धर्म हो सेवा हमारा कर्म हो सेवा

सदा ईमान हो सेवा व सेवक जु बना देना

वतन के वास्ते जीना वतन के वास्ते मरना

वतन पर जाँ फिदा करना प्रभू हमको सिखा देना

या कर दान विद्या का हमें परमात्मा देना।


ओ३म् सहनाववतु

सहनोभुनक्तु

सहवीर्यम् करवाबहै

तेजस्विनामबधीतुमस्तु

मा विदुषावहै

ओ३म् शान्ति..... शान्ति..... शान्ति....।


Asatomaa sad gamaya

(From Untruth to Truth lead us!)

Tamasomaa jyotirgamaya

(From Darkness to Light lead us!)

Mrityormaa amritam gamaya

(From Death to Deathlessness lead us! )


Daya kar daan vidya ka hame parmatma dena

Daya karnaa hamari atma mein shuddhata dena

Hamare dhyaan mein aao, Prabhu! aakhon mein bas jaao


Andhere dil mein aa karke, param jyoti jaga dena

Baha do prem ki ganga, dilon mein prem ka sagar

Hame aapas mein mil-jul kar, prabhu rehna sikha dena

Hamara dharm ho seva, hamara karm ho seva

Sada eeman ho seva, va sevak jan bana dena

Vatan ke vaaste jeena, vatan ke vaaste marna

Vatan par jaan phida karna, prabhu humko sikha dena


Om SahanaBavatu

Sahnau-r-bhunaktu

Sahviryam karavavaheh

Tejasvina-m-vadhitamastu

Maa vidvishavahe

Om shantih!!! shantih!!! shantih!!
