## ANSWER MINISTER OF STATE IN THE MINISTRY OF EDUCATION (SMT. ANNPURNA DEVI)

- (a) At  present,  1249  Kendriya  Vidyalayas  (KVs)  and  649  Jawahar  Navodaya  Vidyalayas (JNVs), including 49 KVs and 27 JNVs in Bihar, are functioning across the country. State/UT-wise details are at Annexure - I.
- (b) & (c) Opening of new KVs is a continuous process. KVs are opened primarily to cater to the educational needs of the wards of transferable Central Government Employees including Defence &  Para-military  personnel,  Central  Autonomous  Bodies,  Central  Public  Sector  Undertakings (PSUs)  and  Central  Institute  of  Higher  Learning  (IHL)  by  providing  a  common  programme  of education  throughout  the  country.  Proposals  for  opening  of  new  KVs  may  be  sponsored  by Ministries  or  Departments  of  the  Government  of  India  /  State  Governments  /  Union  Territories (UTs)  Administrations,  with  commitment  to  provide  requisite  resources including  land  and temporary accommodation for setting up a new KV as per norms.  The proposals are subject to approval of the competent authority. KVs are not opened on the criteria of district-wise.

The Navodaya Vidyalaya Scheme envisages opening of one JNV in each rural district of the  country.    There  is  no  provision  for  JNVs  in  districts  with  100%  population  in  urban  area. Opening of new 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.  Sanction and opening of new JNV depends on approval by the competent authority.  All the districts (as on 31 st  May, 2014) of the States / UTs, which have accepted the NVS Scheme have been covered, other than 6 urban districts.  All  the  38  districts  of  State  of  Bihar  carved  out  as  on  31/05/2014,  have  been  covered under  Navodaya  Vidyalaya  Scheme  and  39  JNVs  are  functional  including  an  additional  second JNV in Gaya district (SC concentrated). District-wise details of KVs and JNVs are at Annexure-II. construction of the permanent building and making available required temporary building, free of

(d)  to  (f)  As  per  norms  for  opening  of  new  KVs  and  JNVs,  the  sponsoring  authority  /  State Government  /  UT  administration  have  to  provide  requisite  suitable  land,  free  of  cost,  for rent,  to  run  the  Vidyalaya  till  the  permanent  building  is  constructed.  KVs  and  JNVs  are  not established on private land anywhere including in the State of Bihar.
