## ANSWER

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

- (a) The  State/UT-wise  and  year-wise  number  of  Jawahar  Navodaya  Vidyalayas (JNVs) established during the last five years and the current year are at Annexure-I.
- (b) The State/UT-wise number of functional Kendriya Vidyalayas (KVs) and JNVs are at Annexure-II.

The  district-wise  number  of  functional  KVs  and  JNVs  in  the  State  of  Uttar Pradesh are at Annexure-III.

(c) & (d) The  Navodaya  Vidyalaya  Scheme  envisages  opening  of  one  Jawahar Navodaya Vidyalaya (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. One  JNV  in  each  of  Lakhimpur  and  Sitapur  districts  of  Uttar  Pradesh  have  been established  during  the  year  2001-02  and  1988-89,  respectively  and  an  additional second JNV has also been established in Sitapur district (SC Concentrated) during the year 2015-16.

Opening of new KVs is a continuous process. KVs are opened primarily to cater to the educational needs of the wards of transferable Central Government Employees including  Defence&  Para-military  personnel,  Central  Autonomous  Bodies,  Central Public Sector Undertakings (PSUs) and Central Institute of Higher Learning (IHL) by providing a common programme of education throughout the country. Proposals for opening  of  new  KVs  may  be  sponsored  by  Ministries  or  Departments  of  the Government of India / State Governments / Union Territories (UTs) Administrations, with commitment to provide requisite resources for setting up a new KV as per norms. The proposals are subject to approval of the competent authority. At present, 02 KVs in Lakhimpur and 01 KV in Sitapur districts of Uttar Pradesh are already functioning.
