## ANSWER MINISTER OF HUMAN RESOURCE DEVELOPMENT (SMT. SMRITI ZUBIN IRANI)

(a) to (e): Kendriya Vidyalayas (KVs) are opened primarily to cater to the educational needs  of  the  children  of  transferable  Central  Government  employees  including Defence  and  Para-Military  Personnel  by  providing  a  common  programme  of education. Proposals for opening of new Kendriya Vidyalayas (KVs) are considered only  if  sponsored  by  Ministries  or  Departments  of  the  Government  of  India  /  State Governments  /  Union  Territories  Administrations  and  Organization  of  employees belonging  to  the  eligible  categories  thereby  committing  resources  for  setting  up  a new KV as well as on the availability of necessary sanction of the Government.

The  Navodaya  Vidyalaya  Scheme  provides  for  opening  of  one  Navodaya Vidyalaya in each district of the country. Jawahar Navodaya Vidyalayas (JNVs) have been sanctioned in 576 districts located in 36 States/UTs (except Tamilnadu). Apart from  above,  the  Govt.  of  India  has  sanctioned  20  additional  JNVs  in  the  districts having large concentration of SC/ST population, and 02 more JNVs in the State of Manipur as a special case.  Opening  of new  JNVs is a continuous  process  which depends on the willingness of the concerned State Government to make available requisite suitable land free of cost for construction of school buildings and required temporary accommodation (free of rent) to start the Vidyalaya. Actual sanction and opening of new JNV depends on the availability of funds and approval by Competent Authority.

54  new  KVs  were  sanctioned  in  the  country  in  March,  2014  including  1  in Delhi. No proposal for opening of a new KV in Anand District of Gujarat has been received from the District Administration / State Government.  2 JNVs in Delhi and 1 JNV in Anand are already functioning from their permanent buildings.

Details of the budget allocation and expenditure in respect of newly opened KVs and JNVs during the last three years are annexed.

As regards Rajasthan, out of 33 districts, 34 JNVs are functional in 32 districts with  Banswara  and  Sriganganagar  districts  having  additional  JNVs  being  SC/ST concentrated districts. There is no JNV in Pratapgarh district at present.

- (f) The performance of NVS in the Class-X & XII examinations is the best among all other schools affiliated to CBSE and the details for the last 5 years are as under:
