THE MINISTER OF STATE IN THE MINISTRY OF HUMAN RESOURCE DEVELOPMENT ( DR. VALLABHBHAI KATHIRIA )
(a) & (b) There was some temporary setback in the
functioning of the Jawahar Navodaya Vidyalaya in Kargil on
account of its sensitive location and continuous
disturbances in the area. However, all out efforts are being
made to ensure that Vidyalaya’s functioning improves
effectively and the Vidyalaya appears to be coming out of
the bad phase.
(c) The percentage of Metric (Class-X) results in the JNV
Kargil during the last 5 years is as under:
YEAR RESULTS ACHIEVED PASS %
1997-1998 51.22
1998-1999 35.39
1999-2000 12.5
2000-2001 16.0
2001-2002 31.03
(d) & (e) The Navodaya Vidyalaya, Kargil was sanctioned
during the year 1987-88. Land for permanent building was
initially provided at village Khurbathang and temporary
accommodation was provided at village Baroo. The Vidyalaya
functioned at the temporary site till 1998. The construction
of building was not taken up since the area was often
affected by shelling and the District Administration was
considering to identify an alternative suitable site in safe
place. On account of Kargil war during the year 1998, the
Vidyalaya was shifted from the temporary site at Baroo to
Sankoo. The accommodation at Sankoo was inadequate and
District Administration provided alternate accommodation at
Govt. School building in Khumbathang, during the year 2001
and the Vidyalaya is presently functioning in this building.
(f) to (h) Alternative permanent site was also provided at
Khumbathang in 1999 and necessary sanctions have been issued
for construction of the building. Compound wall has already
been constructed. The construction of building is likely to
start soon. Construction of school buildings is likely to be
completed in about 3-4 years, depending on normal
availability of funds.
