## ANSWER MINISTER OF EDUCATION (SHRI RAMESH POKHRIYAL 'NISHANK')

(a) to (c): The objectives of the JawaharNavodayaVidyalayas (JNVs) are mainly to providegood 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. These objectives have by and large been achieved as is evident from the demand for admission, the details of which are shown below:-

| Demand for admission                |    2016 |    2017 |    2018 |    2019 |    2020 |
|-------------------------------------|---------|---------|---------|---------|---------|
| Registration for JNVST for Class VI | 2163039 | 2211507 | 2777504 | 3110710 | 3164191 |
| Registration for JNVST for Class IX |  171749 |   69309 |  128018 |  237124 |  232547 |
| Total                               | 2334788 | 2280816 | 2905522 | 3347834 | 3396738 |

As on date, there are 645 functional JNVs in the country. State/UT/ District-wise details including Chhattisgarh are annexed.

(d) & (e): The NavodayaVidyalaya Scheme envisages opening of one JawaharNavodayaVidyalaya (JNV) in each district of the country. All the districts of the country (as on 31 st May, 2014) including Mungeli in the State of Chhattisgarh (except the districts in the State  of  Tamil  Nadu  which  has  not  yet  accepted  the  Scheme)  have  been  covered  under  the 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.
