## ANSWER

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

(a) As per information received from Kendriya Vidyalaya Sangathan (KVS) and Navodaya Vidyalaya Samiti (NVS), 57 Kendriya Vidyalayas (KVs) and 18 Jawahar Navodaya Vidyalayas (JNVs) including 09 KVs and 02 JNVs in the State of Uttar Pradesh have been established and made functional throughout the country during the last five years (i.e. 2019-20, 2020-21, 2021-22, 2022-23 and 2023-24). State/UT-wise details are annexed.

(b) KVs are opened in phased manner as per the availability of requisite infrastructure and keep growing consequentially till class 12 th . Accordingly, the posts are operationalised in all the cadres based on the infrastructure, i.e availability of classrooms, labs etc. As of now, 19 posts of PGTs, 516 posts of  TGTs  and  439  posts  of  PRTs  (Total  974  regular  posts)  have  been operationalised in these KVs.

Further,  JNVs  are  having  classes  from  VI  to  XII  (Upper  Primary, Secondary  and  Senior  Secondary  Classes).  Posts  of  TGT  cadre  are sanctioned  from  the  Class  VI  itself  whereas  posts  of  PGTs  cadre  are sanctioned when the vidyalaya reaches to Class-IX level and thereafter to Class-XI.  Accordingly, at present, 53 Posts of PGTs and 173 Posts of TGTs (Total 226 regular posts) have been sanctioned / created in these JNVs.

(c) to (e) Contractual teachers having requisite qualification as per KVS and NVS  norms  are  engaged  on  short  term  basis  against  sanctioned  posts vacancies which arise due to transfer, retirement, leave etc. from time to time so that teaching-learning process is not hampered. There is no provision in KVs and JNVs to regularize the contract teachers as their appointment is a purely temporary measure to protect the academic interests of the students.
