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

- (a) Kendriya Vidyalaya Sangathan (KVS) has informed that at present 59 Kendriya Vidyalayas (KVs) are functioning in the State of Maharashtra.  District-wise details are at Annexure-I .
- (b) The  State  /  UT-wise  details  of  KVs  opened  /  constructed  during  the  last  three years are at Annexure-II.
- (c) 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.  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  prerequisites 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 basis of State / UT / districts / area-wise. (d) & (e) There is no such new scheme at present to open schools in rural areas on the lines of KVs. However, the Finance Minister in Budget Speech on 01.02.2021 has announced to qualitatively strengthen more than 15,000 schools from across the country to  include  all  components  of  the  National  Education  Policy,  2020.  The  objective  is  to develop  them  as  exemplar  schools  in  their  regions,  handholding  and  mentoring  other schools to achieve the ideals of the policy. Moreover, the existing Navodaya Vidyalaya Scheme envisages opening of one Jawahar Navodaya Vidyalaya in each district of the  country  to  provide  good  quality  modern  education  to  the  talented  children predominantly from the rural areas.
