Will the Minister of EDUCATION be pleased to state:

- (b) the number of JNVs opened in the last five years, State-wise;
- (c) whether the Government plans to increase the network of Navodaya Vidyalayas across the country; and
- (d) if so, the details thereof and if not, the reasons therefor?

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

(a) & (b) : As  on  date,  the  State-wise  details  of  Jawahar  Navodaya  Vidyalayas (JNVs) functioning in the country and number of JNVs opened in the last five years are annexed.

(c) & (d) : The  Navodaya  Vidyalaya  Scheme  envisages  opening  of  one  Jawahar Navodaya Vidyalaya (JNV) in each district of the country. All the districts (as on 31st May, 2014) of the States / UTs, which have accepted the scheme, have been covered under this scheme. 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.
