## ANSWER

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

- (a) At  present,  35  Kendriya  Vidyalayas  (KVs)  and  09  Jawahar  Navodaya  Vidyalayas (JNVs)  are  functioning  in  the  State  of  Telangana.  As  per  information  received  from Kendriya  Vidyalaya  Sangathan  (KVS)  and  Navodaya  Vidyalaya  Samiti  (NVS),  the  total staff strength in position and number of students in 35 KVs and 15 JNVs functional in the State of Andhra Pradesh are as under:-
- (b) & (c) All the 13 districts of Andhra Pradesh carved out as on 31.05.2014, have been covered  under  Navodaya  Vidyalaya  Scheme  and  total  15  JNVs  are  functional  including two  additional  second  JNVs  in  East  Godavari  district  (ST  concentrated)  and  Prakasam district (SC concentrated).

| Sl. No.   | State          | Staff Strength   | Staff Strength   | Number of students   | Number of students   |
|-----------|----------------|------------------|------------------|----------------------|----------------------|
|           |                | KVs              | JNVs             | KVs                  | JNVs                 |
| 1.        | Andhra Pradesh | 661              | 472              | 32821                | 6820                 |

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 31st May, 2014) of the States / UTs, which have accepted the NVS Scheme have been covered, other than 6 urban districts. (d) Total 59 e-Classrooms have been set up in JNVs functional in the State of Andhra Pradesh and each e-Classrooms contains interactive display board. Details are annexed. (e) & (f) As per information received from KVS and NVS, all infrastructure are constructed as per the norms of KVS and NVS for construction of Vidyalaya building, which depends upon progressive growth of the Vidyalaya.  Construction of permanent buildings for KVs and  JNVs  is  a  continuous  process,  which  depends  upon  identification  of  suitable  land, completion of lease formalities in favour of KVS and NVS by the sponsoring authorities, submission  of  drawings  /  estimates  by  construction  agency,  availability  of  funds  and requisite approvals etc.
