Uttarakhand Chief Minister Pushkar Singh Dhami on Monday thanked the Union Government for approving the establishment of a Kendriya Vidyalaya in Madannegi in Tehri Garhwal district.
According to a press statement issued by the Chief Minister’s Office, the Kendriya Vidyalaya Sangathan has cleared the proposal, and the school will begin functioning in the civil sector from the academic session 2026–27.
Dhami said the new Kendriya Vidyalaya will help provide quality education to children living in Madannegi and nearby regions. He added that the institution would strengthen educational facilities in the area and create better learning opportunities. The release stated that both the Central and state governments are focused on empowering youth through education and preparing them for the future.
According to the official release, the school will initially start with classes 1 to 5, with one section in each class. The institution will be expanded gradually in the coming years depending on requirements and necessary approvals. The admission process is expected to begin within 30 days after completion of all formal procedures.
The release further noted that the approval is part of a nationwide initiative of the Government of India to establish 85 new Kendriya Vidyalayas across India. The school at Madannegi in Tehri Garhwal is among the institutions sanctioned under this plan.
Earlier on Saturday, the Chief Minister interacted with police constables undergoing training at the Police Lines in Dehradun. During his address, he stressed the importance of maintaining strong law and order, actively participating in disaster management efforts, and ensuring efficient traffic management across the state.
On the same occasion, the Chief Minister inaugurated the renovated Jugmandar Hall at the Dehradun Municipal Corporation. The restoration project, completed at a cost of Rs 2.32 crore, was undertaken to preserve and promote the city’s cultural heritage.
