The then Vice president (and later the President of the Republic of India), K.R. Narayanan, had inaugurated the K.V. Ottapalam building in 1992. He and his security team of "Black-cats" arrived in a fleet of helicopters, which landed on the nearby NSS College Ground. The vidyalaya has been selected as a Model Kendriya Vidyalaya in the year 2000-2001."
