## ANSWER

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

(a) 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'.

(b)  &  (c)  The  Government  of  India  had  sanctioned  13  new  KVs  in  August,  2018  and another 50 new KVs in March, 2019. Out of these, 36 KVs have been opened and made functional so far. In the remaining 27 cases, the sponsoring authorities concerned have to transfer the identified / demarcated land in favour of Kendriya Vidyalaya Sangathan (KVS)  and  also  handover  possession  of  the  temporary  building  before  administrative orders for opening of KVs are issued. The State/UT-wise details are annexed.

(d)  &  (e)  KVS  has  informed  that  no  proposal  has  been  received  from  the  State Government of Rajasthan to open a new KV at Sujangarh.
