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

(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  procedure.  KVs  are  not opened on the criteria of State/UT/District/Parliamentary Constituency.

The Navodaya Vidyalaya Scheme envisages opening of one Navodaya Vidyalaya (NV) in each district of the country. All the districts (as on 31.05.2014) of the States/UTs which have accepted the scheme, other than 6 districts with 100% urban population, have been covered under the scheme. Opening of new NVs 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 NV depends on approval by the competent authority as per extant procedures.

As per information received from Kendriya Vidyalaya Sangathan (KVS), 08 proposals for opening of new KVs in the State of Andhra Pradesh have been received.

The proposals received from the sponsoring authorities for opening of new KVs are examined / processed at various levels before approval of the competent authority is sought as per extant procedure.

At present, 1253 KVs and 653 NVs including 36 KVs and 15 JNVs in the state of Andhra  Pradesh,  are  functioning  across  the  country.  The  State/UT-wise  details  of (including the state of Andhra Pradesh) the number of the districts in the country having at least one KV and one JNV, along with the details of the districts not having any KV or JNV, is annexed.
