## ANSWER MINISTER OF HUMAN RESOURCE DEVELOPMENT (SHRI RAMESH POKHRIYAL 'NISHANK')

- (a) 642 Jawahar Navodaya Vidyalayas (JNVs) and 1225 Kendriya Vidyalayas (KVs) have been established in the country so far.  State/UT-wise details are annexed.
- (b)  &  (c):  Navodaya  Vidyalaya  Scheme  envisages  opening  of  one  Jawahar  Navodaya Vidyalaya  (JNV)  in  each  district  of  the  country.    All  the  districts  of  the  country  (as  on 31.5.2014) including the districts of Jharkhand have been covered under the Scheme.

Kendriya Vidyalayas (KVs) are opened primarily to cater to the educational needs of the  wards  of  transferable  Central  Government  employees  including  Defence personnel by providing  a  common  programme  of  education.  Proposals  for  opening  of  new  KVs  are considered only if sponsored by Ministries or Departments of the Government of India/State Governments / Union Territories Administrations thereby committing resources for setting up a new KV as well as the availability of necessary sanction of the Government. The proposals received from various sponsoring authorities for opening of new KVs also have to compete among other proposals under the 'Challenge Method'.

No proposal  in the  prescribed proforma  has  been  received  by  KVS from the  State Government of Jharkhand for opening of a new KV at Ichagarh, Chowka in Ranchi. Since no KV was functional at Khilari earlier in the State of Jharkhand the question of its re-opening does not arise.
