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

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.
