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

- (a): Opening of new Jawahar Navodaya Vidyalayas (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.
- (b): A  JNV  is  already  functioning  since  1986-87  in  Jaunpur  district  of  Uttar  Pradesh under which Machhlishahar town falls. State/UT/District-wise list of 56 JNVs set up during the last five years is annexed.
- (c)  to  (f):  The  Navodaya  Vidyalaya  Scheme  envisages  opening  of  one  Jawahar  Navodaya Vidyalaya (JNV) in each district of the country for providing good quality modern education to the talented children predominantly from rural areas. All the districts (as  on  31st  May,  2014)  of  the  States/UTs,  which  have  accepted  the  scheme,  have  been covered.
