ANSWER
MINISTER OF STATE IN THE MINISTRY OF EDUCATION (SMT. ANNPURNA DEVI)
(a) to (e) The Navodaya Vidyalaya Scheme envisages opening of one Jawahar Navodaya Vidyalaya (JNV) in each district of the country. Opening of new JNVs 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 JNV depends on approval by the competent authority. All the districts (as on 31st May, 2014) of the States/ UTs, which have accepted the scheme, have been covered under this scheme. JNVs are not opened sub-division/ block headquarters wise.
The State/ UT/ District-wise list of JNVs established in the country at present are at Annexure-I.
The State/ UT-wise details where new JNVs have been opened in the country during the last four years are at Annexure-II.
While no specific request has been received to establish JNV in every sub- division/block headquarters in the country, however, requests for setting up of JNVs have been received from public representatives/organizations, details of which are at Annexure-III.
