Kendriya Vidyalaya (KV), Hinoo was established under Bhubaneswar region in 1966. The school, which does not charge any fees from girls till Class XII is spread over 4.7 acres and has its own building with spacious classrooms, laboratories, library, computer laboratories and a huge playground.

Besides, all the KVs have adopted a twin-school system within its many branches, to assess the overall growth of any branch. With the constant interaction, between two branches the schools strives to do away their weaker points and work towards the development of the institutions as well as that of its students.

School principal S. Roy, feels that for the all-round development of students, teachers, parents and students need to develop a triangular relation. ?Students, teachers and parents should together comprsie the three points of the triangle. The triangle has students at the base, supported by teachers and guardians on the either side, always there to help a child cope with any situation,? feels principal, S. Roy. To provide this promised help, the school has also developed a website, ?Think.com? for students. Every student has their own ID but whatever they do has to be done with the permission from the teachers. Guardians may even keep a track of their wards? overall performance, in the separate pages created exclusively for the parents.

Subjects offered

At present, the school has three sections each from Class I to X and three sections in plus-two. (Two for science and one for humanity). In science ? physics, chemistry, mathematics, informatics practices, Hindi (core) and English (core) are taught.
