STATEMENT  REFERRED  TO  IN  REPLY  TO  THE  PARTS  (a)  to  (d)  OF  LOK SABHA  STARRED  QUESTION  NO.  137  RAISED  BY  SHRI  RAVINDRA  SHYAM NARAYAN  SHUKLA  ALIAS  RAVI  KISHAN  AND  SHRI  RODMAL  NAGAR, MEMBERS  OF  PARLIAMENT  TO  BE  ANSWERED  ON  1.7.2019  REGARDING JAWAHAR NAVODAYA VIDYALAYA

(a) to (d): Jawahar Navodaya Vidyalayas (JNVs) are set up with the object of providing good quality modern education to the talented children predominantly from rural areas. At least 75% seats of the districts are filled by the candidate selected from rural areas. Navodaya Vidyalaya Scheme envisages opening of one JNV in each district of the country.

All the districts of the country (as on 31.5.2014) including all the districts of Madhya Pradesh  have  been  covered  under  the  Navodaya  Vidyalaya  scheme  (except  districts  in  the state of Tamil Nadu which has not yet accepted the scheme).

Consequent upon carving out of new districts (created upto 31.3.2018), there are 45 districts which are yet to be covered under the Navodaya Vidyalaya Scheme. The details of these districts are annexed.

Opening of new Jawahar Navodaya Vidyalayas (JNVs) is a continuous process which depends on the willingness of the concerned State Government 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 availability of funds  and  approval  by  the  Competent  Authority.  As  such  it  is  not  possible  to  identify  the areas where JNVs are likely to be set up in next three years.
