- (e) if  so,  the  details  thereof  including  Mungeli,  newly  formed  Gaurella-Pendra-Marwahi districts of Chhattisgarh State-wise and location-wise?

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

(a) to (c): The objectives of the Jawahar Navodaya Vidyalayas (JNVs) are mainly to provide good quality modern education including a strong component of culture, inculcation of values, awareness  of  the  environment,  adventure  activities  and  physical  education  to  the  talented children  predominantly  from  the  rural  areas  without  regard  to  their  family's  socio-economic condition. These objectives have by and large been achieved as is evident from the demand for admission and academic performance of the students of the JNVs in 2021.

As on date, there are 650 functional JNVs in the country. State/UT/ District-wise details including Chhattisgarh are annexed.

(d)  &  (e):  The  Navodaya  Vidyalaya  Scheme  envisages  opening  of  one  Jawahar  Navodaya Vidyalaya (JNV) in each district of the country. All the districts of the States/UTs (as on 31 st May,  2014)  which  have  accepted  the  scheme  have  been  covered,  including  Mungeli  in  the

State of Chhattisgarh. 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.
