Will the Minister of EDUCATION be pleased to state:

(a) the details of Jawahar Navodaya Vidyalayas (JNVs) functioning in the country, State-wise;

(b) the number of JNVs opened in the last five years, State-wise;

(c) whether the Government plans to increase the network of Navodaya Vidyalayas across the country; and

(d) if so, the details thereof and if not, the reasons therefor?

(SMT. ANNPURNA DEVI)

(a) & (b) : As on date, the State-wise  details  of  Jawahar  Navodaya  Vidyalayas (JNVs) functioning in the country and number of JNVs opened in the last five years are annexed.

(c) & (d) : The Navodaya Vidyalaya Scheme envisages opening of  one Jawahar Navodaya Vidyalaya (JNV) in each district of the country. All the districts (as on 31st May, 2014) of the States / UTs, which have accepted the scheme, have been covered under this scheme. 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. However, actual sanction and opening of new JNV depends on the availability of funds and approval by the Competent Authority.
