All the districts of the country (as on 31 st May, 2014), which have accepted the scheme, have been covered. JNVs have been sanctioned in all the 24 districts of Jharkhand State including Chatra and Latehar districts.

Opening of new JNVs is a continuous process which depends on the willingness of the concerned State Government 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 availability of funds and approval by the Competent Authority.
