Promoting nationalism, secularism, democracy
Kundan Vidya Mandir is one of the oldest schools of the city . It was the first school of Punjab to get affiliated to the CBSE in 1963. The school has a strength of more than 4,000 students in its Civil Lines branch and 883 students in the city branch. It has a staff of 226 members.
It was the vision of Rai Sahib Kundan Lal, founder, to impart liberal education to students who were committed to the ideals of nationalism, secularism and democracy. Making a humble beginning with a handful of children, Rai Sahib Kundan Lal, displayed remarkable dynamism when he established the city branch in 1941. However, due to public demand the Civil Lines School came into being in 1957. The school keeps pace with the latest in educational technology. It has its own computer laboratory, an audio-visual centre, an indoor shooting range, a skating rink and a huge auditorium. A mathematics
laboratory is the latest addition to the facilities provided by the school. Besides academics, students are given lessons in music , dance, yoga and clay modelling. The Iron Eagle Club and NCC instil in the students qualities of discipline and team spirit. KVM students have always been torch-bearers in academic excellence at the CBSE examinations. The 2003-04 batch had achieved 100 per cent results in class X and XII.

School is a temple of learning, not workshop
The song of today, is bubbling with energy and vitality which needs to be channelised into a proper direction. It is my endeavour to give students a sense of purpose and to inculcate moral values and the right attitude and to forge ahead. Kundan Vidya Mandir prepares conscientious and responsible citizens who bear a high moral character, high sense of
integrity and honesty. The young scholars are encouraged to participate in numerous co-curricular activities. These activities provide a platform for the students to compete with best talents of the city. The Kudanites are given ample opportunities to explore, research and create. My vision is to send our students for exchange programmes to schools and universities of international repute so that they can learn about the cultures of other countries and become truly global citizens.

Education should lead us to achieve overall development of the child in a tension-free atmosphere. A school is not a workshop where people get together to labour and receive wages in the form of certificates. Rather it is a temple of learning wherein the young worshippers and the priests appointed to administer intellectual knowledge are both alike, the adorers of the Goddess of learning and wisdom.
