Answer given by the minister

MINISTER OF HUMAN RESOURCE DEVELOPMENT
(SMT. SMRITI ZUBIN IRANI)

(a) to (e): Kendriya Vidyalayas (KVs) are opened primarily to cater to the educational needs of the children of transferable Central Government employees including Defence and Para–Military Personnel by providing a common programme of education. Proposals for opening of new Kendriya Vidyalayas (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.

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 Tamilnadu). Apart from above, the Govt. of India has sanctioned 20 additional JNVs in the districts having large concentration of SC/ST population, and 02 more JNVs in the State of Manipur as a special case. 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.

54 new KVs were sanctioned in the country in March, 2014 including 1 in Delhi. No proposal for opening of a new KV in Anand District of Gujarat has been received from the District Administration / State Government. 2 JNVs in Delhi and 1 JNV in Anand are already functioning from their permanent buildings.

Details of the budget allocation and expenditure in respect of newly opened KVs and JNVs during the last three years are annexed.

As regards Rajasthan, out of 33 districts, 34 JNVs are functional in 32 districts with Banswara and Sriganganagar districts having additional JNVs being SC/ST concentrated districts. There is no JNV in Pratapgarh district at present.

(f) The performance of NVS in the Class-X & XII examinations is the best among all other schools affiliated to CBSE and the details for the last 5 years are as under:
