History
The school was founded in 1952.[3]
It moved to its present location in central Tehran in 1952, as Indians had moved to that city. At some point its affiliation shifted to the Central Board of Secondary Education (CBSE). The after-effects of the Iranian Revolution of 1979 reduced the school's enrollment as only 60 to 65 Indian families remained in Iran. It became a Kendriya Vidyalaya in 2004.Template:Fact
In a four-year period from 2008 to 2012 it had three grants, which kept the school in operation during the Great Recession. The first was 81 lakh (8,100,000) rupees from the Ministry of External Affairs of India, the second was 2 crore (20,000,000) rupees from Meira Kumar, and the third grant was 2 lakh (2,00,000) rupees sent on August 29, 2012.[4]
