## ANSWER MINISTER OF STATE IN THE MINISTRY OF HUMAN RESOURCE DEVELOPMENT

## (SHRI UPENDRA KUSHWAHA)

- (a) As  per  the  existing  norms  of  Kendriya  Vidyalaya  Sangathan  (KVS)  the sponsoring authorities are required to provide rent free accommodation for setting up of a Kendriya Vidyalaya (KV).  There is no decision to relax any of the existing norms.
- (b)  &  (c):  The  KVs  are  opened  primarily  to  cater  to  the  educational  needs  of  the children of transferable Central Government employees including Defence and ParaMilitary  personnel  by  providing  a  common  programme  of  education.  Proposals  for opening of new 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. As  per  prescribed  norms  for  the  opening  of  new  KVs  under  Civil  /  Defence sector, the concerned sponsoring authority is liable to provide suitable and sufficient rent free temporary accommodation for setting up of the newly sanctioned KV to make the school functional till the construction of permanent building by KVS on the land to be  provided  by  the  sponsoring  agency,  free  of  cost.  The  identified  and  demarcated land is also required to be transferred by the State Government / District Authority to KVS. 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  Tamil  Nadu). 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. The State/UTs wise details of functional KVs and JNVs are given at Annexure-I. 54 new KVs were sanctioned under Civil Sector in the country in March, 2014 including 1 in the State of West Bengal i.e. Bandel Railway Colony, District Hooghly, under  the  sponsorship  of  Indian  Railways  which  could  not  be  opened  so  far  as requisite  extent  of  land  has  not  yet  been  transferred  in  favour  of  KVS  by  the sponsoring authority. The details of the 41 KVs opened and made functional are given at Annexure-II. Out of 35 districts  worst  affected  by  Left  Wing  Extremism  (LWE),  24  districts have KVs and 30 districts have JNVs. Opening  of  KVs  and  JNVs  is  a  continuous  process  and  is  dependent  on feasibility  of  proposals,  availability  of  resources  and  sanction  of  the  competent authority.  There is no immediate proposal to increase the intake capacity of existing

KVs and JNVs.
