The existing building of Kendriya Vidyalaya RAISEN is located behind New Bus Stand Road, Raisen,. It is about 1.0 km from city bus stand Raisen. The nearest Railway Station is Sanchi , which is about 25 km from the vidyalaya. Raisen is a district place, situated on National Highway No. 86 and is about 50 km from Bhopal. Raisen is known for its fort which was an important centre of administration from the period of its foundation from Hindu times. In the fifteenth century, this fort was ruled by the Sultans of Mandu, from whom it passed to the Rajputs. In 1543 Shershah Suri captured it from Puranmal. In Akbar’s time, Raisen was the headquarter of a Sarkar in the Subah of Ujjain in Malwa. Fiaz Mohammad Khan, the third Nawab of Bhopal State occupied it in about 1760, later got himself recognized as Faujder of Raisen by Emperor Alamgir II. After Bhopal State became a part ‘C’ State of the Union of India, the present district came into existence on 5th May, 1950, with headquarter at Raisen. It was decided to retain only seven Tehsils in the district.
