About Zonal Institute of Education and Training Mumbai
Kendriya Vidyalaya Sangathan, an autonomous institution under the Ministry of Education, Government of India, has been a pioneer and pace setter in the field of school education since its establishment in 1964. In-service Education and Training of staff is an integral part of the organisation right from its inception.
