## ANSWER

## MINISTER OF STATE IN THE MINISTRY OF HUMAN RESOURCE DEVELOPMENT (SHRI UPENDRA KUSHWAHA)

- (a): A statement showing the State/UT-wise number of Jawahar Navodaya Vidyalayas (JNVs) and Kendriya Vidyalayas (KVs) sanctioned in the country at present is placed at Annexure-I. Funds allocated by the Government of India for running JNVs and KVs during the last three years and the current year are as under:

(Rs. in Crore)

| Year         |   Navodaya Vidyalaya Samiti |   Kendriya Vidyalaya Sangathan |
|--------------|-----------------------------|--------------------------------|
| 2015-16      |                     2285.14 |                        3278.47 |
| 2016-17      |                     2619.57 |                        3987.25 |
| 2017-18      |                     3185    |                        4997.25 |
| B.E. 2018-19 |                     2793    |                        4425    |

The allocation of funds is not made State/UT wise.

(b) to (e): The  Navodaya  Vidyalaya  scheme  provides  for  opening  of  one  Jawahar  Navodaya Vidyalaya (JNV) in each district of the country. Sanctioning of JNVs depends on the willingness of the concerned State Government/UT Administration to make available requisite suitable land free of cost 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 availability of funds and approval by the competent authority. Opening of new JNVs is a continuous process and one JNV each has already been sanctioned in all the districts of the country (as on 31 st May, 2014), excluding Tamil Nadu which has not yet accepted the Navodaya Vidyalaya Scheme.

Kendriya  Vidyalayas  are  opened  primarily  to  cater  to  the  educational  needs  of  the  wards  of transferable Central Government Employees including Defence personnel on receipt of a proposal in the prescribed proforma from a Ministry / Department of Government of India / State Governments / Union Territory Administration and committing thereby availability of requisite resources for setting up a new KV as well as on availability of necessary sanction of the Government. Final decision regarding setting of the KV would depend upon the feasibility report, qualifying under the 'Challenge Mode' and approval of Competent Authority.

A statement showing the State/UT-wise list of districts having no JNVs and KVs is placed at Annexure-II.
