## ANSWER

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

(a):  The  Navodaya  Vidyalaya  Scheme  envisages  for  opening  of  one  Navodaya Vidyalaya (NV) in each district of the country. 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.

Total 28 new Jawahar Navodaya Vidyalayas have been sanctioned during the last five years in the uncovered districts of the country. State/UT and district-wise list is at Annexure - I .

(b)  to  (d):  NV-wise,  Gender-wise & Year-wise details of student enrolment in each NV of Andhra Pradesh during the last five years are at Annexure - II.

(g): Opening/Upgradation of NVs is a continuous process. Opening of NVS 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.
