After a chronic impasse between the Bihar authorities and the Kendriya Vidyalaya Sangathan (KVS) over allotment of land, the state authorities has made its place clear and stated it can not allot land for the 14 proposed Kendriya Vidyalayas within the state as a result of the physique is just not giving a written affirmation of admitting not less than 50 per cent native college students within the such faculties. The state already has 52 Kendriya Vidyalayas.
Bihar schooling minister Vijay Kumar Choudhary on Thursday instructed the Bihar Legislative Assembly, “We are usually not going to present five-acre land without cost to KVS on its circumstances. We have made it clear that KVS should give us a written assure of admitting not less than 50 per cent native college students in every Kendriya Vidyalaya. Since they’ve refused it, we’re not giving any land to KVS.” Fourteen of the 52 central faculties are performing from buildings of different faculties and there’s a minimal requirement of five-acre land to meet the criterion of a central college.
This is the primary time the state authorities had made its place clear. With the state authorities opening the next secondary college in every panchayat, it doesn’t look eager on supporting central faculties. The KVs usually admit wards of Central and state authorities workers.
The KVS is believed to have communicated to the state authorities that in each KV, greater than 50% of the scholars are already locals and it’s not able to place down such a assure on paper. In a letter on June 29, 2017, then further commissioner (administration), KVS, GK Srivastava, wrote to the Education Secretary of Bihar saying, “While the Kendriya Vidyalaya Sangathan cannot give an undertaking of admitting minimum 50% and maximum 75% locals , it is worth mentioning that enrollment of Bihar students in existing Kendriya Vidyalayas is 62.07%.”
Among the KVs awaiting land is the one in Buxar, which began 18 years in the past, in 2003, and continues to operate from 13 rooms of a authorities college. In 2014, the Buxar administration recognized a 3.81-acre plot for the college however the KVS identified that they wanted not less than 5 acres of land. The KVS was then assured verbally by the district administration that further land can be offered.
However, the land it hoped to get is owned by the Water Resources Department and a no objection certificates from them is awaited. Other KVs which are but to be allotted land are in Aurangabad, Banka, Barauni, Chhapra, Darbhanga (two faculties), Hajipur, Gopalganj, Muzaffarpur, Siwan, Maharajganj, Motihari and Lakhidarai.
