Maharashtra to Provide Free Government Land for New Kendriya Vidyalayas Maharashtra has announced a policy to allocate government land free of charge to the Kendriya Vidyalaya Sangathan (KVS) for establishing new schools across the state. The decision, formalized through a resolution issued by the state’s revenue and forest department on Wednesday, follows a cabinet directive from April. The policy applies to all Kendriya Vidyalayas that have already received prior approval from KVS, New Delhi. This initiative comes after the Union cabinet approved the creation of 85 new Kendriya Vidyalayas nationwide, including several planned locations in Maharashtra. KVS had previously requested the state government to transfer identified government land in Akola and Mouze Nachane, located in Ratnagiri district, either free of charge or at a nominal rent. The resolution authorizes the transfer of 2.50 hectares of government land in Ratnagiri to KVS for constructing a new Kendriya Vidyalaya. However, details regarding land allocation in Akola remain pending. The state has emphasized that the land will be provided entirely free of charge to KVS, though the allocated land remains government property and cannot be sold or transferred by KVS. The policy outlines specific conditions for land use, stating that the allocated land can only be utilized for the designated purpose of operating a Kendriya Vidyalaya. Additionally, the state has established a general framework for future land allocations. Wherever KVS requests government land for a school that has received prior approval, and the identified government land is available without encumbrances, it will be transferred to KVS under the same conditions. This includes possession rights, exemption from occupancy premium, and freedom from revenue charges.#maharashtra #akola #kendriya_vidyalaya_sangathan #kvs #ratnagiri
CBSE CTET 2026 Results Delayed as Candidates Await Final Declaration The Central Board of Secondary Education (CBSE) has yet to announce the results of the Central Teacher Eligibility Test (CTET) 2026, leaving over 25 lakh candidates in suspense. The provisional answer keys for the February 2026 exam were released on March 12, with the objection window closing on March 15. Despite the completion of the evaluation process, the final result has not been declared, prompting concerns about the delay. The exam, held on February 7 and 8 across more than 140 cities, faced technical glitches that necessitated a re-examination on March 1 at two centers in Bihar. The prolonged wait has drawn attention from political figures, including Member of Parliament Supriya Sule, who publicly urged Union Education Minister Dharmendra Pradhan to expedite the result announcement. Sule highlighted issues of transparency and communication, as the delay exceeds the typical 30-day timeline for result declarations. This delay risks disrupting recruitment timelines for central government schools, where CTET is a mandatory qualification for teaching positions. Institutions such as Kendriya Vidyalaya Sangathan and Navodaya Vidyalaya Samiti rely on CTET results to finalize hiring, and any further postponement could affect thousands of candidates’ career prospects. The CTET exam, conducted in two papers, serves as a national-level eligibility test for teaching roles. Paper 1 qualifies candidates for Classes 1–5, while Paper 2 is for Classes 6–8. Candidates who pass both papers are eligible to teach across all primary and secondary levels. The scorecards, which include details like candidate names, roll numbers, and qualifying status, will be valid for a lifetime.#cbse #ctet_2026 #kendriya_vidyalaya_sangathan #supriya_sule #dharmendra_pradhan
