There are 1086 schools known as Kendriya Vidyalayas, out of which 1083 are in India and three are abroad. A total of 1,058,450 students (as of 31.03.2011) and 49,286 employees (including outsourced) are on rolls (as of 1.7.2011). These have been divided amongst 26 regions, each headed by a deputy commissioner.
The three Kendriya Vidyalayas outside India are in Kathmandu, Moscow and Tehran. They are intended for children of Indian embassy staff and other expatriate employees of government of India. One school in Tshimalakha, Bhutan, was transferred to the Bhutanese government, thus ceasing to be a Kendriya Vidyalaya (then known as Indo-Bhutan Central School (IBCS)) in 1989, after one of the major Indo-Bhutan projects (the Chukhha Hydal power project) was near completion and Indian government employees were gradually transferred back to their home country.
