## ANSWER

## MINISTER OF STATE IN THE MINISTRY OF EDUCATION (SHRI JAYANT CHAUDHARY)

- (a) to (c) As per information received from Navodaya Vidyalaya Samiti, total 15 Navodaya Vidyalayas (NVs) have been sanctioned, till date, in the State of Andhra Pradesh and are functioning from its permanent Vidyalaya building. District-wise and Year-wise details are annexed .

The  budgetary  support  is  provided  to  Navodaya  Vidyalayas  Samiti  (NVS) every  year  as  Grants-in-Aid  under  three  distinct  Heads  of  Account  viz.  Salaries, General and Creation of Capital Assets for opening and functioning of  NVs. Funds are not allocated to NVS State/ UT/District-wise. The funds released to NVS during the last five years are as under:

( Rs. in crore )

| Financial Year   |   Funds released |
|------------------|------------------|
| 2019-20          |           3387.6 |
| 2020-21          |           3480   |
| 2021-22          |           3740   |
| 2022-23          |           4920.3 |
| 2023-24          |           5470   |

(d) & (e) The Navodaya Vidyalaya Scheme envisages for opening of one NV in each district of the country. With sanctioning of 62 new NVs in November 2016, all 638  districts  (as  on  31st  May,  2014)  of  the  States/UTs  which  have  accepted  the scheme, other than 6 districts with 100% urban population, have been covered under this  scheme.  All  the  districts  of  Andhra  Pradesh  (created  up  to  31.05.2014)  have been covered under Navodaya Vidyalaya Scheme. Further, Government of India has recently sanctioned new NVs in 28 newly created/ carved out districts.

Opening  of  new  NVs  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. Sanction and opening of new NVs depends on approval by the competent authority as per extant procedures.
