Kendriya Vidyalaya (AFS)

Kendriya Vidyalaya (AFS) refers to a specific Kendriya Vidyalaya (KV) school located within an Air Force Station (AFS) in India. Kendriya Vidyalayas are a system of central government schools under the Ministry of Education (formerly the Ministry of Human Resource Development), Government of India. They are administered by the Kendriya Vidyalaya Sangathan (KVS).

The designation "(AFS)" indicates that the particular KV is situated on land provided by the Indian Air Force and primarily caters to the educational needs of the children of Air Force personnel. While priority is given to children of defence personnel, seats are also available to children of central government employees and, in some cases, the general public, based on KVS admission guidelines.

These Kendriya Vidyalayas (AFS) follow the common curriculum prescribed by the Central Board of Secondary Education (CBSE). Like other KVs, they aim to provide quality education at an affordable cost. The academic calendar, syllabus, and textbooks are standardized across all Kendriya Vidyalayas. They are typically co-educational institutions offering classes from I to XII.

The presence of a Kendriya Vidyalaya within an Air Force Station provides significant convenience and stability for the education of children whose parents are frequently transferred due to the nature of their service in the Air Force.
