New Delhi: The Kendriya Vidyalaya Sangathan, an autonomous organisation of the Human Resource Development (HRD) Ministry, has decided to extend air travel facility to the students of KVs for attending and participating in different activities
organised by the KVS at the national level in different parts of the country.
As per the order, the students would be allowed to avail air travel when the distance between KV (starting point) and the venue (reaching point) of the event would be above 500 km. The KV students would also avail air services in case of any natural hazard, non-availability of confirmed tickets in AC class, etc.
The new provisions laid down by KVS would be a great relief for the KVs located at hilly terrains as well as remote locations as it would save their time. The deputy commissioner of concerned KVS region has been empowered to assess and allow the air travel.
The escort teachers/officials accompanying the participating students would also be entitled to air journey, the latest order said.
In another development, the KVS on Friday launched an internal portal for monitoring the upcoming 49th KVS national sports meet. The data management of this mega event would be digitised from this year, including lodging, boarding, eligibility certificates, I-cards and points tally of the participants.
