## ANSWER MINISTER OF HUMAN RESOURCE DEVELOPMENT

## (SHRI RAMESH POKHRIYAL 'NISHANK')

(a): One Jawahar Navodaya Vidyalaya (JNV) caters to the needs of a total number of 560 students,  both  boys  &  girls.  Accordingly,  dormitories  for  384  boys  and  192  girls  are  built during the establishment of the Vidyalaya. However, due to increase in the number of girl students in the JNVs, few additional dormitories have also been constructed for the girls, as per requirement. Additional dormitories have also been constructed for converting two tier dormitories into single tier ones.

Navodaya  Vidyalaya  Samiti  (NVS)  has  taken  up  construction  work  of  additional dormitories in 123 JNVs in various parts of the country since 2016-17 which will cater to the needs of 8815 boys and 6807 girls.  In Maharashtra alone, construction work of additional dormitories for 96 boys & 48 girls has been taken up since 2016-17.  Details of these cases including Maharashtra are annexed.

(b) to (f): The  work  of  construction  of  dormitories  for  96  boys  and  48  girls  at  JNV Shegaon,  Buldhana,  Maharashtra  was  allocated  to  Central  Public  Works  Department (CPWD) on 1.3.2011. The  construction  agency  started  work  in  January,  2012  and  around 51% work was completed.  However, following dissolution of the firm to whom the work was  awarded  by  CPWD,  the  contract  was  rescinded  by  CPWD  on  2.6.2018.  After  reinvitation of bids and award of work by CPWD, the work has now re-commenced at site on 03.04.2019 and as per the agreement between CPWD and the contractor the time allowed for construction is 6 months. The present physical progress achieved is 60%.
