Profile
It is a chain of central government schools in India known as Kendriya Vidyalaya (also Kendriya Vidyalaya, Central School). It provides school-level education to students, primarily serving children of transferable central government employees. The schools follow a common curriculum to ensure consistency across locations. Operating under the central government framework, the organisation aims to deliver uniform education regardless of where families are stationed. Its model supports educational continuity for mobile government employee households.
As a central government school system, it is distinguished by its nationwide presence and affiliation with the Central Board of Secondary Education (CBSE). It emphasizes inclusivity and mobility for families with frequent relocations. The organisation's headquarters is located in India, overseeing administration and policy implementation for its schools. The known incident in May 2021 highlighted its digital exposure when the Arvin Club ransomware group targeted its network. The group exfiltrated personally identifiable information of students without deploying encryption ransomware. Instead, it focused on data exfiltration and public leaks, showcasing unconventional tactics. This breach underscored the organisation's vulnerability to cyber threats despite its primary focus on education delivery.
