(c)  to  (e)  Opening  of  new  KVs  is  a  continuous  process.  KVs  are  opened  primarily  to cater  to  the  educational  needs  of  the  wards  of  transferable  Central  Government Employees including  Defence  &  Para-Military  personnel,  Central  Autonomous  Bodies, Central  Public  Sector  Undertakings  (PSUs)  and  Central  Institute  of  Higher  Learning (IHL)  by  providing  a  common  programme  of  education.  Proposals  for  opening  of  new KVs are considered only if sponsored by Ministries or Departments of the Government of India  /  State  Governments  /  Union  Territories  (UTs)  Administrations  and  committing resources  for  setting  up  a  new  KV.  The  proposals  received  from  various  sponsoring authorities found fulfilling the mandatory pre-requisite for opening of new KVs have to compete with other such proposals under the 'Challenge Method'. Kendriya Vidyalaya Sangathan  has  not  received  any  proposal  for  opening  of  additional  new  Kendriya Vidyalaya at Nasirabad, district Ajmer either from the State Government of Rajasthan or from the Defence Authorities.
