Andaman and Nicobar Islands have a well-established network of centrally administered Kendriya Vidyalaya (KV) schools functioning under the Kendriya Vidyalaya Sangathan (KVS), ensuring high-quality and uniform education across this Union Territory. Despite being geographically remote, KVS has strategically set up schools across major islands to make CBSE-based education accessible to children of defence personnel, central government employees, and local residents.
The Union Territory hosts several Kendriya Vidyalayas located in key regions such as Port Blair, Bamboo Flat, Diglipur, Nancowry, and Haddo, providing education from primary to senior secondary levels. These schools are known for their strong academic performance, disciplined environment, and modern learning infrastructure, including smart classrooms, ICT labs, science laboratories, digital libraries, and well-developed sports facilities.
Among the most prominent Kendriya Vidyalayas in the Andaman & Nicobar Islands are:
- KV Port Blair (Main Campus) – one of the oldest and most reputed schools in the UT.
- KV No. 1 & 2, Port Blair – serving large student populations with advanced facilities.
- KV Diglipur – catering to students in North Andaman with good infrastructure.
- KV Nancowry – ensuring education access in remote Nicobar region.
- KV Haddo & KV Bamboo Flat – supporting the educational needs of nearby island communities.
Many Kendriya Vidyalayas in the UT are also part of the PM SHRI (Prime Minister Schools for Rising India) initiative, receiving upgrades focused on NEP-2020 alignment, experiential and competency-based education, sustainability practices, digital classrooms, and improved learning outcomes.
Kendriya Vidyalayas in Andaman and Nicobar Islands continue to play an essential role in offering uniform, affordable, and quality education despite geographic challenges, significantly contributing to the educational development of the island communities.
