## 1364.   Shri Godam Nagesh:

Will the Minister of EDUCATION be pleased to state:

- (a) the status of newly sanctioned Kendriya  Vidyalayas  and  Jawahar  Navodaya Vidyalayas across the country, State/UT-wise including Telangana;
- (b) whether  the  Government  is  taking  steps  to  improve  these  schools  to  international standards; and
- (c) if so, the details thereof?

## ANSWER

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

- (a) Proposals  for  opening  of  new  Kendriya  Vidyalayas  (KVs)  may  be  sponsored  by Ministries or Departments of the Government of India/State Governments/ Union Territories Administrations, with commitment to provide requisite extent of suitable land, free of cost, for construction of the permanent building and suitable rent-free temporary accommodation to run the Vidyalaya till the permanent building is constructed.

The Government of India has sanctioned 85 new KVs in December, 2024 and 57 new KVs in October, 2025. State/UT-wise status of these 85 and 57 newly sanctioned KVs is at Annexure-I and Annexure-II respectively.

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

Total 28 NVs have been sanctioned across the country in December, 2024. State-wise status of 28 newly sanctioned NVs is at Annexure-III .

(b) & (c) Kendriya Vidyalaya Sangathan (KVS) and Navodaya Vidyalaya Samiti (NVS) are continuously upgrading the infrastructure of KVs and NVs to align with global standards. The  following  key  initiatives  have  been  undertaken  by  KVS  and  NVS  to  bring  school infrastructure closer to international benchmarks and creating a modern, student-centric learning environment:

-  Provision  of  smart  classrooms,  upgraded  science  &  ICT  laboratories  and  smart libraries to support digital and experiential learning.
-  Construction  of  modern,  eco-friendly  school  buildings  following  green  building norms.
-  Development of improved sports infrastructure, including basketball and volleyball courts, athletic tracks and other facilities.
-  Establishment of Atal Tinkering Labs, Skill Labs and well-equipped activity rooms to promote innovation, skill development, and holistic growth.
-  Upgradation  of  campus  facilities  such  as  sanitary  blocks,  barrier-free  access  for CwSN (Divyang) and improved campus landscaping.

Further, a range of initiatives has been undertaken in KVs and NVs to progressively align  with  global  best  practices  and  advance  towards  international  standards  of excellence, in line with the National Education Policy (NEP) 2020 and the Sustainable Development  Goal,  particularly  SDG-4:  Quality  Education.  These  initiatives  broadly include the following key measures:

-  Improving the Pupil-Teacher Ratio (PTR).
-  Strengthening project-based and Competency based learning.
-  Implementing Competency-based assessments for holistic learner development.
-  Assessment of Students by Olympiads /  Global Academic Competitions  such  as IMO, NSE, STEM/Robotics Olympiads and NAAS for international benchmarking of excellence.
-  Integration of value education and inclusive education, reinforcing equity and access in line with SDG commitments.
-  Curriculum is being linked with skill and vocational education, entrepreneurship, and life-skills education to ensure employability and global readiness.
-  Enhancing learning by leveraging digital technologies through smart classrooms, AIbased tools, upgraded laboratories and sports facilities is being expanded across Vidyalayas.
-  Continuous teacher training and capacity building.
-  Collaboration  through  international  level  programme  like  SAKURA,  YUVA  by National Academy of Agriculture Sciences (NAAS), YUVIKA etc.
-  Promotion of environmental education through Mission LiFE, sustainability practices and global citizenship further support the transformation of academic delivery.

In addition, KVs and NVs are being upgraded into exemplary schools under the PM SHRI  scheme  which  is  built  upon  six  major  pillars:  (1)  Curriculum,  Pedagogy  and Assessment, (2) Access and Infrastructure, (3) Human Resources and School Leadership, (4) Inclusive Practices and Gender Equity, (5) Management, Monitoring and Governance and (6) Beneficiary Satisfaction. Through modern infrastructure such as smart classrooms, ICT and science labs, competency-based and experiential learning, and inclusive & wellgoverned  school  environments,  the  scheme  helps  to  elevate  education  quality  to international standards.
