## ANSWER

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

(a) & (b): 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.  As  per  information  received  from  Navodaya  Vidyalaya  Samiti  (NVS), presently, 21 NVs are functional in the State of Haryana including one NV each in Bhiwani, Mahendragarh & Nuh districts.

Opening of new Kendriya Vidyalayas (KVs) is a continuous process. KVs are opened  primarily  to  cater  to  the  educational  needs  of  the  wards  of  transferable Central Government  Employees  including  Defence  &  Para-military personnel, Central Autonomous Bodies, Central Public Sector Undertakings (PSUs) and Central Institute of Higher Learning (IHL) by providing a common programme of education throughout  the  country.  Proposals  for  opening  of  new  KVs  may  be  sponsored  by Ministries or Departments of the Government of India / State Governments / Union Territories  (UTs)  Administrations,  with  commitment  to  provide  requisite  resources including land and temporary accommodation for setting up a new KV as per norms. As per information received from Kendriya Vidyalaya Sangathan (KVS), presently, 35 KVs are functional in the State of Haryana including one KV each in Bhiwani and Mahendragarh districts. The Govt. of India has recently sanctioned 57 new Kendriya Vidyalaya across the country including one KV in District Nuh, Haryana in October, 2025. KVs are not opened on the criteria of State/UT/Parliamentary Constituency/district.

As  per  the  information  received  from  Ministry  of  Skill  Development  and Entrepreneurship (MSDE), under the Government of India's Skill India Mission (SIM) , the MSDE delivers skill, re-skill and up-skill training through an extensive network of skill  development  centres under  various  schemes,  viz.  Pradhan  Mantri  Kaushal Vikas Yojana (PMKVY), Jan Shikshan Sansthan (JSS) scheme, National Apprenticeship Promotion Scheme (NAPS) and Craftsman Training Scheme (CTS) through Industrial Training Institutes (ITIs), to all the sections of the society across the country. The SIM aims at enabling youth of India to get future ready, equipped with industry relevant skills. Further, the schemes of MSDE are demand driven and the Training Centres are set up or engaged on need basis.
