(DR. SUBHAS SARKAR)

(a) 14 Jawahar Navodaya Vidyalayas (JNVs) have been set up in the country during the last three years. State/UT/District-wise details are annexed.

(b) & (c) : The Navodaya Vidyalaya Scheme envisages opening of one JNV in each district, having rural population, 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, including Maharashtra (other than Mumbai and Mumbai Sub-Urban districts which have 100% urban population). 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.

 

(d) & (e) : Kendriya Vidyalayas are non-residential schools while JNVs are residential schools. The facilities that are provided to the students, free of cost, in JNVs include quality education, mess facility, boarding, lodging, bedding items, uniforms, textbooks, school bags, daily use items like soap, oil, toothpaste, napkin for girls, stationery items, board examination fees, medical expenses, expenditure on journey (TA/DA) to participate in activities etc.
