Nagpur: The Maharashtra government has decided to grant government land without any premium or revenue charges to the Kendriya Vidyalaya Sangathan (KVS) for the establishment of new schools across the state. This decision was formalized through a government resolution issued by the revenue and forest department on Wednesday.
Background of the Decision
The policy stems from a cabinet resolution passed in April and applies to all Kendriya Vidyalayas that have received prior approval from KVS, New Delhi. The Union cabinet had earlier approved the establishment of 85 new Kendriya Vidyalayas nationwide, with several slated to be located in Maharashtra. Following this approval, KVS requested the state government to transfer identified government land in Akola and Mouze Nachane in Ratnagiri district either free of charge or at a nominal rent for the new schools.
Land Allocation Details
The resolution authorizes the transfer of 2.50 hectares of land in Ratnagiri district to KVS for building a Kendriya Vidyalaya. Details regarding land allocation in Akola are still pending. The state has specified that the land will be provided entirely free of charge to KVS, subject to certain conditions.
Conditions of Land Transfer
Although the land will be free from occupancy premium and revenue charges, KVS will not own the land. The allocated land remains government property and cannot be sold or transferred by KVS. The state has stipulated that the land can only be used for the designated purpose of operating a Kendriya Vidyalaya. If the land is no longer required for this purpose, it will revert to the state government.
General Policy for Future Allocations
In addition to the Ratnagiri allocation, the government has established a general policy for Kendriya Vidyalayas. Wherever KVS requests government land for a school that has received prior approval, and the identified government land is available without any encumbrances, it shall be transferred to KVS under the same conditions, with possession rights, free of premium, and free of revenue charges. This policy aims to streamline the process of establishing new Kendriya Vidyalayas across Maharashtra, ensuring that educational infrastructure is developed without financial burden on the central government body.
