## Setting up of Jawahar Navodaya Vidyalayas

†996. Shri Ram Shiromani Verma:

Will the Minister of EDUCATION be pleased to state:

- (a)  whether  the  Government  has  achieved  the  target  of  setting  up  Jawahar Navodaya Vidyalaya (JNV) in each district of the country;
- (b) if so, the details of JNVs established in the country, State/UT-wise and districtwise;
- (c)  whether  the  Government  has  fixed  any  timeline  for  achieving  the  intended targets, if so, the details thereof and if not, the reasons therefor; and
- (d) the details of the districts where JNVs are yet to be established?

## ANSWER

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

(a) to (d) The Navodaya Vidyalaya Scheme envisages opening of one Jawahar Navodaya Vidyalaya (JNV) in each district of the country. With sanctioning of 62 new JNVs in November 2016, all 638 districts (as on 31 st  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. The State of Tamil Nadu has not accepted the Scheme. The State/UT/District-wise list of JNVs sanctioned in the country is at Annexure-I. List of newly created/carved out/uncovered districts, in which there are no JNVs, is at Annexure-II.

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. Sanction and opening of new JNVs depend on approval by the competent authority as per extant procedures.
