Celebrating 50 years of education

Outlining the journey of Kendriya Vidyalaya Sangathan, a travelling photo exhibition kicked off in the capital today to carry forward the institute’s Golden Jubilee celebrations. Inaugurated by the Minister of State, Human Resource and Development, Jatin Prasada in the presence of Comissioner of KV Sangathan, Avinash Dixit and other senior officials of Ministry of HRD and KVS, the exhibition was followed by a vibrant cultural evening by students from different central schools.

Beaming in their uniforms, student scouts marched in the corridors of Indira Gandhi National Centre for Arts to welcome the arrival of dignatories. After watching the visual journey depicted through the pictures and paintings of students and teachers of KVS, Jatin Prasada commented,’ The photo exhibition portrays the commencement of KVS, its glorious past and the road ahead for its future. The paintings put up by the students are delightful.’

The travelling photo exhibition, planned in 14 cities in India starting from New Delhi, will showcase the journey of KVS from 20 schools to 1093 vidyalayas and dwell on its initiatives and innovative practices for promoting quality education and capacity building of its teaching staff.

The exhibition about growth and evolution of KVS will spread awareness about the institute’s role in the field of school education. It will be stationed at 14 cities, namely, New Delhi, Chandigarh, Lucknow, Patna, Jaipur, Kolkata, Guwahati, Bhopal, Ahmadabad, Mumbai, Bnagalore, Trivandrum, Chennai and Hyderabad.

The Golden Jubilee celebrations began with the inaugral function organised at Vigyan Bhawan on 6 July. The Prime Minister of India, Dr. Manmohan Singh unveiled the new logo of KVS during this ceremony.

In the cultural presentation today, Jatin Prasada addressed the audience and discussed the imperative issues related to education in our country. He emphasised, ‘We are grappling with the issue of an imbalance in education. Inequality pervades on the basis of gender, caste and class even in this field. We need to provide skill based education and I hope that KVS would continue delivering quality education.’
