## District-wise JNV

†4116. SHRI SATYADEV PACHAURI:

Will the Minister of EDUCATION be pleased to state:

- (a) whether  the  Government  has  achieved  its  target  of  establishing  a  Jawahar Navodaya Vidyalaya (JNV) in all the districts of the country in order to meet its objective of providing qualitative modern education to meritorious children of the rural  areas  of  the  country  without  taking  into  consideration  the  social  and economic condition of this families;
- (b) if  not,  names  of  the  district  and  states  where  JNVs  are  yet  to  be  established State/District-wise;
- (c) whether  the  Government  has  fixed  any  time  limit  for  meeting  this  target, particularly in Uttar Pradesh; and
- (d) if so, the details thereof?

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

(a) to (d) : The  Navodaya  Vidyalaya  Scheme  envisages  opening  of  one  Jawahar Navodaya  Vidyalaya  (JNV)  in  each  district  of  the  country  for  providing  good  quality modern  education  to  the  talented  children  predominantly  from  rural  areas.  All  the districts (as on 31st May, 2014) of the States / UTs, which have accepted the scheme, have  been  covered  under  this  scheme.  The  State/  District-wise  details  where  JNVs have not been established so far, as on date, are annexed.

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. All the 75 districts of Uttar Pradesh State have already been covered under Navodaya Vidyalaya Scheme.

JNVs  have  not  been  sanctioned  in  Central  Delhi,  New  Delhi,  Mumbai,  Mumbai Suburban,  Hyderabad  and  Kolkata  districts  as  these  districts  do  not  have  any  rural population. Further, the State of Tamil Nadu is yet to accept the Navodaya Vidyalaya Scheme.
