The Vedanta group management decided to cease operation of Kendriya Vidyalaya No. 4, which put a question mark on the facility for students to get education in this school. In view of the future of children, a demand was made to establish a central school of civil sector in Korba after the arrival of the then Union Human Resource Minister Shri Arjun Singh in Bilaspur in 2007-08. On which he announced to open Kendriya Vidyalaya. This project school was converted into a civil school in the year 2011 as per the announcement of the Union Minister. Most of the students in Kendriya Vidyalaya run by BCPP were in the areas of Darri-Jamnipali-Churi-Katghora-Banki-Balgi etc. and hence Gopalpur was considered suitable for its establishment. The Revenue Minister said that I am very happy that the result of my hard work and untiring efforts by me is that now children of this region will not have to wander elsewhere.
