The Uttarakhand government would start the ‘Atal Utkrisht Vidyalayas’ (AUV) from the next academic session. The government plans to open 190 such schools, two in every block in the state. The education minister Arvind Pandey chaired a meeting of the officers and principals of Garhwal division at Rajiv Gandhi Navodaya Vidyalayas here on Monday.
In the meeting elaborate discussions on opening of AUV were held between the minister and officials. Dedicated to former Prime Minister Atal Bihari Vajpayee, these schools are modelled on the lines of Kendriya Vidyalayas (KV) and Navodaya Vidyalayas. In an attempt to give competition to the private schools and provide quality education to the poor students residing in all parts of the state the state government has planned to open these schools. The Uttarakhand government has decided to get the affiliation of Central Board of Secondary Education (CBSE) for AUVs.
