3660. Shri Godam Nagesh:
Will the Minister of EDUCATION be pleased to state:
(a) whether the Government is aware that there are districts in Telangana not covered under the Jawahar Navodaya Vidyalaya (JNV) scheme and if so, the details thereof along with the timeline for establishing JNVs in those districts; and
(b) whether the Government has received any proposals for sanctioning new Kendriya Vidyalayas (KVs) in Telangana and if so, the action taken thereon along with the timeline for sanctioning the same? ANSWER MINISTER OF STATE IN THE MINISTRY OF EDUCATION (SHRI JAYANT CHAUDHARY)
(a) & (b): The Navodaya Vidyalaya Scheme envisages for opening of one Navodaya Vidyalaya (NV) in each district of the country. Opening of new NVs in uncovered districts 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 NVs depends on approval by the competent authority as per extant procedures. At present, 16 NVs have been sanctioned in 16 districts in the State of Telangana. District-wise list of sanctioned NVs is Annexed.
Opening of new Kendriya Vidyalayas (KVs) is a continuous process. KVs are opened primarily to cater to the educational needs of the wards of transferable Central Government Employees including Defence & Para-military personnel, Central Autonomous Bodies, Central Public Sector Undertakings (PSUs) and Central Institute of Higher Learning (IHL) by providing a common programme of education throughout the country. Proposals for opening of new KVs may be sponsored by Ministries or Departments of the Government of India / State Governments / Union Territories (UTs) Administrations, with commitment to provide requisite resources including land and temporary accommodation for setting up a new KV as per norms. The Government of India sanctioned 57 new KVs in October 2025, including 04 KVs in the State of Telangana.
At present, 37 KVs are functional in the State of Telangana. *****ANNEXURE ANNEXURE REFERRED TO IN REPLY TO PART (a) & (b) OF LOK SABHA UNSTARRED QUESTION NO. 3660 ANSWERED ON 10.08.2026 RAISED BY SHRI GODAM NAGESH, HON’BLE MEMBER OF PARLIAMENT REGARDING SANCTION OF JAWAHAR NAVODAYA AND KENDRIYA VIDYALAYA IN TELANGANA District-wise list of sanctioned NVs in Telangana S.
