## † 2268. SHRIMATI KAVITA SINGH:

Will the Minister of EDUCATION be pleased to state:

- (a) the  number  of  Kendriya  Vidyalayas  in  the  country  State-wise  particularly  in Bihar which do not have their own building;
- (b) whether learning of students and their overall development through sports is hampered in the absence of proper building; and
- (c) if so, the time by which the Vidyalayas operating from rented buildings in the country are likely to have their own buildings, State-wise, particularly in Siwan district of Bihar?

## ANSWER MINISTER OF EDUCATION (SHRI DHARMENDRA PRADHAN)

- (a) As  on  date,  281  Kendriya  Vidyalayas  (KVs)  are  functioning  in  the  temporary building including 17 in Bihar provided by various sponsoring authorities. The State / UTwise details are annexed.
- (b) The teaching-learning and overall developments through sports are not hampered.
- (c) Kendriya  Vidyalaya  Sangathan  has  informed  that  at  present  there  is  no  KV functional  in  the  rented  building.  Construction  of  permanent  buildings  for  KVs  is  a continuous  process,  which  depends  upon  identification  of  suitable  land,  completion  of lease formalities in favour of KVS by the sponsoring authorities, submission of drawings / estimates by construction agency, availability of funds and requisite approvals etc. As such, no definite time frame can be given in this regard. The land for KV, Siwan district of  Bihar  has  not  been  transferred  by  the  State  Government  in  favour  of  Kendriya Vidyalaya Sangathan so far.
