ANSWER
MINISTER OF EDUCATION
(SHRI DHARMENDRA PRADHAN)
(a) to (f) : A Statement is laid on the Table of the House.
*****
(a) to (f) : The Navodaya Vidyalaya Scheme envisages opening of one Jawahar Navodaya Vidyalaya (JNV) in each district of the country. All the 638 districts as on 31st May, 2014 of the States/UTs which have accepted the scheme, and other than 6 districts with 100% urban population, have been covered under this scheme. A total of 661 JNVs have been sanctioned all over the country including 23 second JNVs (10 each in SC and ST concentrated districts and 3 special JNVs at Senapati & Ukhrul in Manipur and Ratlam in Madhya Pradesh). The State and UT-wise/district-wise list of sanctioned JNVs is given at Annexure-I.
The objectives of the JNVs are mainly to provide good quality modern education including a strong component of culture, inculcation of values, awareness of the environment, adventure activities and physical education to the talented children predominantly from the rural areas without regard to their family’s socio-economic condition. As on 31.01.2023, there are 80 newly created/carved out/uncovered districts, in which there are no JNVs. The list of these 80 districts is given at Annexure-II.
Opening of new JNVs is a continuous process which depends on the willingness of the concerned State Government/UT administration to make available requisite suitable land, free of cost, for construction of the permanent building and making available required temporary building, free of rent, to run the Vidyalaya till the permanent building is constructed. Sanction and opening of new JNV depends on approval by the competent authority.
