“I have repeatedly requested the state government to allot land for a Kendriya Vidyalaya in Devkund but the government is sitting on the matter. This has exposed the state government’s lack of seriousness towards education,” said Kushwaha, adding that the central government had given its approval for setting up the Kendriya Vidyalaya in Devkund.
