Subject : Fee Concession in Kendriya Vidyalayas

Sir / Madam,

As per Article 123 of Education Code various concession in the fee have been provided to the students. However, it has come to our notice that such provisions are not known to a large number of parents. As a result, they directly approach KVS HQs with queries. Hence, it is requested that principal of KVs under your jurisdiction be given instruction to publicize the provision of Article 123 and display it on the school website so that deserving students get the benefit of such provision.

This issues with the approval of competent authority.

Yours faithfully,
