No German In Kendriya Vidyalayas

The Centre on Friday stood by its decision on replacing German as third language with Sanskrit in Kendriya Vidyalayas (KV) but conceded before the Supreme Court that no exam would be conducted for the subject in the current session.

Days after Prime Minister Narendra Modi assured German Chancellor Angela Merkel that he would look into her concerns over India's Kendriya Vidyalayas or central schools dropping German as a third language, the country's envoy is reportedly holding a secret meeting in Delhi to try and stop the move.
