## ANSWER

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

(a)  to  (c):  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.

In December 2024, the Central Government has approved the establishment of 28  new  NVs  across  the  country,  including  07  NVs  in  Telangana.  At  present,  16  NVs have been sanctioned in 16 districts of Telangana, out of which 15 NVs are functional. District-wise details of NVs are annexed.
