    Official's statement to the Economic Times

  • "The Minister recommended about 5,100 admissions at KV schools in 2015-16. The same was reported at the KVS board meeting and was noted," said an official who had attended a KVS meeting on 30 October 2015, according to ET.

    The Economic Times report

    The Economic Times report
  • The Economic Times report criticised Smriti Irani's plethora of admission recommendations to Kendriya Vidyalaya schools.

    "Smriti Irani's admission recommendation bonanza is undermining the PM's promise of striking at the roots of corruption. Her action only serves to promote a culture of patronage...she should set up a system that will enable the most disadvantaged the same opportunity as their more affluent counterparts," the report stated.

  • Do you know?

    MP quota for KV schools increased

  • In a meeting held in October 2015, KVS board of governors decided to increase the admission quota for Members of Parliament (MPs) to 10% from the previous 6%. Consequently, almost 7,900 seats fall under the MP quota now.
