Kendriya Vidyalayas must have at least one Sanskrit section for Classes 6 and 9: KVS
The Kendriya Vidyalaya Sangathana has mandated that all schools must offer at least one section for Sanskrit as a third language for students in Classes 6 and 9. This policy aims to standardize language options while allowing for regional language alternatives.
Why it matters
This directive impacts the educational curriculum and language policy for over 1,200 schools, balancing national language promotion with regional needs.
Every Kendriya Vidyalaya (KV) must maintain a minimum of one dedicated section of students learning Sanskrit as a third language in Classes 6 and 9, according to a circular issued by Kendriya Vidyalaya Sangathana (KVS), an autonomous body under the Union Education Ministry.
The report neutrally outlines the policy requirements and the rationale provided by the KVS official.
