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.

The New Pension Scheme introduced for the Central Government employees w.e.f. 1.1.2004, was made applicable to the regular employees of NVS w.e.f. 1.4.2009.

Pension benefit to teachers of Jawahar Navodaya Vidyalayas

The option to switchover to the GPF Scheme was available only to the employees of those institutions which were in existence as on 1.1.1986. Since the Navodaya Vidyalaya Samiti (NVS) was registered as a society only on 28.2.1986, the option of switchover to GPF scheme was not applicable to the employees of NVS.

The employees of NVS had been given the benefits of Contributory Provident Fund (CPF) scheme since its inception. The New Pension Scheme (NPS), which was introduced for the Central Government employees w.e.f. 1.1.2004, was made applicable to the regular employees of NVS w.e.f. 1.4.2009. Those employees who had joined NVS on regular basis before 1.4.2009 were given an option to continue with the existing CPF scheme or to join the NPS.

The option was to be exercised by 3.11.2009. Those employees of NVS who have opted for and are covered under the NPS, are entitled to the benefits envisaged under this scheme. Thus, the teachers of the Jawahar Navodaya Vidyalayas are already entitled to benefits of either the CPF scheme or the NPS scheme having regard to the option exercised by them.

This was stated by Shri Satya Pal Singh, Minister of State for Human Resource Development in a written reply to a question in Rajya Sabha on 13.12.2018.

MINISTER OF STATE IN THE MINISTRY OF HUMAN RESOURCE DEVELOPMENT (DR. SHASHI THAROOR)

(a) & (b): The Kendriya Vidyalayas (KVs) are opened primarily to cater to the educational needs (upto the Senior Secondary Level in the Science, Humanities and Commerce streams) of the wards of transferable Central Government Employees, including Defence personnel, on the receipt of a proposal in prescribed proformae from the various Ministries of the Government of India/State Government/UTs committing the availability of requisite resources from their side for setting up a new KV as well as after securing the necessary sanction of the Government.

Name of Orgazinations Number of KVs/JNVs Number of districts covered
Kendriya Vidyalaya Sangathan 1091 495
Navodaya Vidyalaya Samiti     586 576

(c):    A total of 680 KVs and 515 JNVs are functioning from their own permanent buildings. The KVS does not construct its own building for the Vidyalayas running under the Projects Sector/ Institute of Higher Learning Categories. The construction of buildings for 264 KVs in 219 districts and 58 JNVs is yet to be completed.
