Navodaya  Vidyalaya Scheme provides for opening of one Jawahar Navodaya Vidyalaya (JNV) in each district  of  the  country. Opening of KVs and JNVs is a continuous process which depends upon approval by competent authority, availability of funds and availability  of  suitable  land  free  of  cost  from  the  sponsoring  agency  as  well  as availability of rent free temporary accommodation to operationalise the Vidyalaya. As such, no time frame can be set for opening of KVs and JNVs. The KGBV scheme provides for setting up of one residential upper primary school  for  girls  from  SC,ST,OBC  and  minority  communities  in  each  educational backward  block  (EBB)  subject  to  certain  conditions.  As  many  as  3609  KGBVs have been sanctioned in the country and 3598 are operational. There are seats still  available  in  the  existing  KGBVs.  As  such,  at  present,  there  is  no  immediate proposal for opening of new KGBVs.
