## MINISTER OF STATE IN THE MINISTRY OF EDUCATION (SMT. ANNPURNA DEVI)

(a) & (b) State/UT-wise number of admissions of students in Kendriya Vidyalayas (KVs) under MP quota during the last three academic years are given at Annexure-I.

(c)  &  (d)  PM  Cares  for  Children  Scheme  provides  to  ensure  comprehensive  care  and protection of children who have lost their parent(s) to COVID-19 pandemic, in a sustained manner,  enable their wellbeing through health insurance,  empower  them  through education and equip them for self-sufficient existence with financial support on reaching 23 years of age. Accordingly, special provisions have been made in the Kendriya Vidyalaya Sangathan admission guidelines 2022-23 for admission to the children who have lost their parent(s) to COVID pandemic, over and above the sanctioned class strength. State/UT- wise number of children admitted under PM Cares for Children Scheme in KVs are given

at Annexure-II.

(e) & (f) Every organization keeps revisiting its procedures and policies in order to bring qualitative  changes  in  the  system.  Kendriya  Vidyalaya  Sangathan  (KVS)  has  withdrawn some of the provisions of discretionary quotas which were over and above the sanctioned class strength. This will lead to maintaining a healthy pupil-teacher ratio (PTR) and also to achieve desired learning outcomes.
