It has a wide presence in every part of the country owing to its high-quality education.

2 types of schools who have gained prominence in CBSE:

Kendriya Vidyalaya:

Some features of KV must be made visible in the following observations:

  • Faculties-It depends upon the teacher interactive teaching with the students whether they are able to deliver valuable and rich content to students. Having passed an exam and getting appointment does not guarantee teacher will be excellent in teaching. It depends on the teacher dedication, honest approach towards teaching content to students. Most of KVs have a dedicated faculty or science students. Those who are in Arts or commerce may face a lot of problem they should make necessary arrangement to shift to other schools or colleges so that they can excel in their respective field.
  • Games-Every Kendriya Vidyalaya has a profound approach for the students to excel in outdoor games. If one student gets selected in their school group they can participate in district,state and national competitions which can give a wing to their future aspirations in sports.

Definitely, KV’s are the best place to be up to one’s 10th standard. The savings through marginal fees should then be properly utilized to pay for spacious schools for right exposure and competitiveness to get top hand for beyond.

Wide Estate–All Kendriya Vidyalayas have a huge playground so that child can play outdoor sports in their leisure period.

Buildings are very small compared to these wide estate playgrounds. These wide estates can be converted into temporary relief camps in case of natural calamities.

Diversified Culture –Students from different backgrounds belonging to different states having different faiths are getting together in one place

Movable–Students will be acquainted with their parents’ movable job which happens after fixed years.

This provides KV students to acclimatize to new surroundings, different kinds of people, and tolerance towards a new place.

They must face new odds in their lives.

Responsiveness –someone who has interacted with a KV person can find students have an understanding between them.

They got to know more about each other accordingly behave cordially.

Attachment – Genitors of children in KV schools are from army background that makes attachment between them.

There is an inevitable bonding that everybody cherishes throughout our lives.

Few years of spending among students will have a vivid memory among students for the rest of their lives.

Pleasure – A child’s daily activity is filled with pleasure and excitement, whether waiting for the sports period when the child will play any outdoor sports in the playground of schools to chill out.

Children having their lunch boxes shared among each other in recess time and their chit-chat gossips.

Most of the CBSE schools are Kendriya Vidyalayas located in every state of the country.

These types of schools are suited for central government employees. Fees are somewhat less for students studying in these schools as compared to private schools.

KVs are the institutions that do not differentiate between the high class and lower class.

The uniforms are the same throughout the country, and one interacts with everyone; if anyone is the daughter of a tailor or someone is the son of a DGP(Police). N

ot an atmosphere you find every where KVs also stand out for their national-level competitions for sports, cultural activities, and academics, that bring out the best in people.

DAV Schools

A lot of schools are now in the form of DAV schools. These schools are under Dayanand Anglo Vedic to capture the essence of our great revered saint Maharishi Dayanand Saraswati.

Let us take the case of DAV schools which have mushroomed across India. They have become the lifeline of education in India.

The school life of DAV is pretty enjoyable for students as schools provide ample opportunities to showcase their skills.

Almost every state has a lot of DAV schools owing to the need of people.

These schools are giving good results in the All-India platform.

Students are also performing well in different competitions whether it is related to singing, dancing, sports, and debate.

Here at DAV, everyone performs hawan every single day.

Though we never care about chanting mantras along with gurus but it has definitely given us a major reason to remember it after school and in a corner.

The yagnya shala in itself has an amazing aura. Its high dome roof is something someone never forgets.

Hardly someone thinks any other school teaches and preaches Vedic mantra in today’s race for academics.

Plus it would be fascinating in winters to sit near the fire and let the heat come in.
