(a)  to  (d)  Opening  of  new  Kendriya  Vidyalayas  (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 including land and temporary accommodation for setting up a new KV as per norms.  The proposals are  subject  to  approval  of  the  competent  authority  as  per  extant procedures.

Opening  of  new  Jawahar  Navodaya  Vidyalayas  (JNVs)  is  a continuous process. Opening of new JNV 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 as per extant procedures.
