STATEMENT  REFERRED  TO  IN  REPLY  TO  PARTS  (a)  TO  (d)  OF  THE  LOK SABHA STARRED QUESTION NO. 242 RAISED BY SHRI DHARAMBIR SINGH, HON'BLE  MEMBER  OF  PARLIAMENT  TO  BE  ANSWERED  ON  21/03/2022 REGARDING KENDRIYA VIDYALAYAS / NAVODAYA VIDYALAYAS IN HARYANA.

(a)  to  (d)  Opening  of  new  Kendriya  Vidyalayas  (KVs)  and  Jawahar  Navodaya Vidyalayas (JNVs) is a continuous process. The proposals for opening of new KVs are considered only if sponsored by Ministries or Departments of the Government of India / State Governments / Union Territories (UTs) Administrations and committing resources for setting up a new KV. The proposals received from various sponsoring authorities found fulfilling the mandatory pre-requisites for opening of new KVs have to compete with other such proposals under the 'Challenge Method' and subject to approval of the competent authority. KVs are not opened on the criteria of districtwise. During the last 3 years i.e. from 2018-19 to 2020-21 and current year, 3 new KVs  have  been  made  functional  in  the  State  of  Haryana.  District-wise  details  are given hereunder:-

|   Sl. No. | Name of District   | Name of KV          | Year of opening   |
|-----------|--------------------|---------------------|-------------------|
|         1 | Sonipat            | G.C.,CRPF Sonipat   | 2019-2020         |
|         2 | Gurugram           | G.C., CRPF Kadarpur | 2019-2020         |
|         3 | Yamunanagar        | Bilaspur            | 2021-2022         |

3 districts in the State of Haryana do not have any KVs namely Kaithal, Nuh and Charkhi-Dadri.

The  Navodaya  Vidyalaya  Scheme  envisages  opening  of  one Jawahar Navodaya Vidyalaya (JNV) in each district of the country.   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. However,  actual  sanction  and  opening  of  new  JNV  depends  on  the  availability  of funds and approval by the Competent Authority.  All the districts (as on 31st May, 2014)  of  the  States  /  UTs,  which  have  accepted  the  scheme,  have  been  covered under this Scheme. Out of 22 districts of Haryana State, 21 districts created / carved out as on 31.05.2014, have been covered under Navodaya Vidyalaya Scheme. One district namely Charkhi Dadri has no JNV.
