## ANSWER

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

(a) to (e) 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. 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 scheme, have been covered under this scheme. JNVs are not opened sub-division/ block headquarters wise. The State/UT/District-wise list of JNVs established in the country at present are at Annexure-I. The State/UT-wise details where new JNVs have been opened in the country during the last four years are at Annexure-II. While  no  specific  request  has  been  received  to  establish  JNV  in  every  subdivision/block headquarters in the country, however, requests for setting up of JNVs have been received from public representatives/organizations, details of which are at

Annexure-III.
