JAWAHAR NAVODAYA VIDYALAYA

NAVODAYA VIDYALAYA SCHEME: BRIEF INTRODUCTION

In accordance with the National Policy of Education (1986), Government of India started Jawahar Navodaya Vidyalayas (JNVs). Presently the JNVs are spread in 27 states and 7 Union Territories. These are co-educational residential schools fully financed and administered by Govt. of India through an autonomous organization, Navodaya Vidyalaya Samiti. Admissions in JNVs are made through the Jawahar Navodaya Vidyalaya Selection Test (JNVST) at class VI. The medium of instruction in JNVs is the mother tongue or regional language upto class VIII, and English there after for Maths and Science and Hindi for Social Science. The Navodaya Vidyalayas are affiliated to Central Board of Secondary Education. While Education in these schools is free including boarding, lodging, uniform and Text Books, a nominal fee of Rs. 200/- per month is collected from the children from IX to XII class. However, children belonging to SC, ST, Girls, Physically handicapped and from the families whose income is below poverty line are exempted from payment of fees.

OBJECTIVES OF THE SCHEME

The main objectives of Navodaya Vidyalayas are :

01) To provide good quality modern education including a strong

Component of culture, inculcation of values of the environment, adventure activities and physical education to the talented children predominantly from rural areas.
