|   S. No. | School System   |   2014 |   2015 |   2016 |   2017 |   2018 |   2019 |
|----------|-----------------|--------|--------|--------|--------|--------|--------|
|        1 | CBSE            |  82.66 |  82    |  83.05 |  82.02 |  83.01 |  83.4  |

- (d) A proposal was received from the NVS for increasing the intake of students at Class VI level in the JNVs by 10%. NVS has been advised to align it with the provisions of the Right of Children to Free and Compulsory Education Act, 2009.
- (e) Navodaya  Leadership  Institutes  (NLIs)  set  up  in  different  parts  of  the  country organise regular in-service training programmes for the teachers of the JNVs to enable them to constantly upgrade their skills. These training programmes help

the JNV teachers to acquaint themselves with the latest innovations in the field of education, current reforms, use of ICT in education, etc. A total number of 229 training  courses  were  conducted  during  2018-19  in  which  8353  employees participated.

- (f) The Navodaya Vidyalaya Scheme envisages opening of one JNV in each district of  the  country.  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. One JNV each has been sanctioned in all the districts of the country (as on 31 st May,  2014).  The state of Tamil Nadu has not yet accepted the Navodaya Vidyalaya Scheme.
