JNV - Jawahar Navodaya Vidyalaya
JNV - Jawahar Navodaya Vidyalays are an autonomous body works under the department of Education, Ministry of Human Resource Development. Navodaya Vidyalayas were born as a part of the New Education Policy 1986. Jawahar Navodaya Vidyalayas were planned to set up in all the districts of the country in order to provide a Quality Education to the children with special talents belongs to rural areas.
The SAMITI (Jawahar Navodaya Vidyalaya Samiti)is providing quality education for students so that they can develop in all the aspects in order to meet the challenges of life successfully.
These Vidyalayas have been brought up with an idea of providing a Quality new generation to the Modern India through the Education with Excellence. The quality education loaded with a strong components of Academic, Culture, Ethos and Values, National Integration, physical education and with a reasonable level of competence.
AIMS & OBJECTIVES
To provide quality CBSE education for all round development of the students To promote National integration among students through a policy of migration
To encourage and promote talent predominantly from rural areas & weaker sections
To function as pace setter institution in the district and to be resource centre for promotion of excellence
OBJECTIVES & SALIENT FEATURES
OF NAVODAYA VIDYALAYAS
The Navodaya Vidyalaya System is a unique experiment unparalleled in the annals of school
education in India and elsewhere. Its significance lies in the selection of talented rural children as
the target group and the attempt to provide them with quality education comparable to the best in a
residential school system. Such children are found in all sections of society, and in all areas
including the most backward. But, so far, good quality education has been available only to well-to-
do sections of society, and the poor have been left out. It was felt that children with special talent
or aptitude should be provided opportunities to proceed at a faster pace, by making good quality
education available to them, irrespective of their capacity to pay for it.These talented children
otherwise would have been deprived of quality modern education traditionally available only in the
urban areas. Such education would enable students from rural areas to compete with their urban
counterparts on an equal footing. The National Policy on Education-1986 envisaged the setting up
of residential schools, to be called Jawahar Navodaya Vidyalayas that would bring out the best of
rural talent.
OBJECTIVES
l To serve the objectives of excellence coupled with equity and social justice.l To promote national integration by providing opportunities to talented children,
largely rural, from different part of the country, to live and learn together and develop their full potential.
l To provide good quality modern education, including a strong component of culture, inculcation of values, awareness of the environment, adventure activities and physical education.
l To ensure that all students of Navodaya Vidyalayas attain a reasonable level of competence in three language as envisaged in the Three Language Formula; and
l To serve, in each district, as focal point for improvement in quality of school education through sharing of experiences and facilities.
SALIENT FEATURES
l JNVST : Entrance on the basis of Merit
Navodaya Vidyalayas draw their student strength from talented children, selected
on the basis of a merit test, called the Jawahar Navodaya Vidyalaya Selection
Test, designed, developed and conducted by NCERT initially and now, by the
CBSE. The test is held annually on All India basis and at block and district levels.
It is objective, class neutral and is so designed as to ensure that rural children are
not at disadvantage.
l Reservation for Rural, S.C., S.T. and Girl Students
Admissions in Jawahar Novodaya Vidyalayas primarily for children from the rural
areas, with provision of 75% seats for rural children. Seats are reserved for
children from the SC and ST communities in proportion to their population in the
district but not less than the national average. 1/3 of the seats are for girl
students. 3% of the seats are for disabled children.
l Co-educational Residential Schools with Free Education
Navodaya Vidyalayas offer free education to talented children from Class-VI to
XII. Navodaya Vidyalayas are affiliated to the CBSE. Entry to a Navodaya
Vidyalaya is in Class-VI only along with lateral entry into Class IX & XI. Each
Navodaya Vidyalaya is a co-educational residential institution providing free
boarding and lodging, expenses on uniforms, text books, stationery, to and from
rail and bus fare. However, a nominal fee @ Rs. 200/- per month is charged from
students of Class IX to XII for Vidyalaya Vikas Nidhi. The students belonging to
SC, ST, categories, girls disabled students and children of the families below
poverty line are exempted from this fee.
l Adherence to Three Language Formula
The Regional Language is generally the medium of instruction from Class-VI to
VIII and from Class- IX onwards, it is English for Science and Mathematics and
Hindi for Humanities subjects.
l Promotion of National Integration
Navodaya Vidyalayas aim at inculcating values of national integration through
migration scheme though which the inter regional exchange of students between
Hindi and Non-Hindi speaking States and vice-versa takes place for one
academic year. Efforts are made to promote better understanding of the unity in
diversity and cultural heritage through various activities.

Govt. is to offer cost free land and rent free temporary buildings for the setting up
of a Navodaya Vidyalaya.

STUDENTS’ PROFILE
To provide a progressive and forward looking school system in the rural areas, the
scheme provides for a reservation of 75% students from the rural areas. Reservation
to SC, ST students is in proportion to their population subject to a minimum of
national average of these categories. 33% seats are reserved for girl students.
1,80,391 students were on the rolls of Navodaya Vidyalayas at the end of the
academic session.
The percentage of students belonging to SC/ST categories, in the Navodaya
Vidyalayas is well above the national norms (15% SC & 7.5% ST) e.g.
Year SC ST Gen. Girls Boys Rural Urban
2005-06 23.87% 15.19% 60.93% 35.03% 64.97% 76.94% 23.06%

Migration and Three Language Formula
Migration - Exchange program of 30% of students at Class IX level for a year between linked JNVs from different linguistic regions is an important feature of the Samiti to promote National Integration. This scheme provides for implementation of the Three Language Formula. The third language taught in Hindi speaking districts is linked with the migration of Students. In the Hindi speaking districts, the third language taught in Navodaya Vidyalayas is the language of the 30% students migrating to that Vidyalaya from non-Hindi regions. This language is compulsory for all. In the non-Hindi regions, Navodaya Vidyalayas follow the normal Three Language Formula i.e. regional language, Hindi and English.
Continuous Comprehensive Evaluation
Education is a unique investment and accountability is possible only through a well planned mechanism of assessment with reference to its objectives. Examination in its traditional sense has failed to achieve the objectives of education. Introduction of the Scheme of Continuous Comprehensive Evaluation is, therefore, the only alternative to de-emphasis the system of external examinations. The Scheme has been introduced effectively in all the JNVs since 1989-90 with the following objectives :
To make evaluation an integral part of teaching learning process. To use evaluation for improvement of students achievement and teaching learning strategies on the basis of regular diagnosis followed by remedial instructions. To make a sound judgment and to plan timely strategies on the basis of regular diagnosis followed by the remedial instructions. To facilitate sound judgment and to take timely decisions about the learner, learning process and the learning environment. To maintain desired standard for performance using evaluation as a quality control device. To provide scope for self-evaluation by teachers and students. Special training has been provided to the Principals and teachers to ensure maintenance of CCE records in proper order.
Maths Olympiad
Navodaya Vidyalaya Samiti is a state to feed Indian National Mathematics Olympiad(INMO) competitions organised under the National Board of Higher Mathematics. A total of __ students took NVS level examination on NBHM paper during December, 2006; Of which the selected 15 students took. Indian National Mathematics Olympiad Examination organised by NBHM in 2007.
Prof. Yashpal at JNV Vishakhapatnam - Science Congress in process

During the science congress many notable personalities from the field of Science and Technology are invited to share their thoughts to motivate young scientists of JNVs.
Activities to promote Development of personality of children
The thrust on academic excellence in the classroom has been accompanied by an effort to build up the Vidyalayas as co-educational residential institutions, giving importance to the all round development of the child. The House System of Jawahar Navodaya Vidyalayas, functions as an effective instrument for the development of the personality of the students. It creates team spirit, by involving students in a variety of co curricular activities. The inter house competitions in literary activities, games, sports & art in education activities help students to groom themselves into competent & self-confident individuals. The value of dignity of labour & concern for environment is sought to be incorporated by self help activities that are part & parcel of the daily schedule of all Vidyalayas. Teachers as House Masters or House Mistress establish close rapport with students and provide them needed support.
Sports & Games
Games and Sports are encouraged in JNVs to develop fitness, physical and neuromuscular skills and to promote the spirit of cooperation and sportsmanship. Samiti organizes school level, cluster level, regional level and national level competitions in sports and games every year. Facilities for many sports and games viz. Volley Ball, Basket Ball, Table Tennis, Football, Kabadi, Kho-Kho, etc. are provided to all JNVs.

Students ProfileAbout l.58 lakh students were on the rolls of Navodaya Vidyalayas. The percentage of students belonging to SC/ ST categories, girls and rural areas in the Navodaya Vidyalayas is well above national norms (15 % SC & 7.5 % ST)
Thus the JNVs are serving rural students, specially girls, SC & ST students in excess of national averages. For this they have also been commended by the Standing committee of Parliament for the Ministry of Human Resource Development In April, 1997 as follows:
"The Committee is happy to note that various norms made for reservation of seats for SC's and ST's are fulfilled and hopes that this practice would continue in future also."
Navodaya is the only scheme providing quality education to students from the rural areas and weaker sections of the society with a 75% reservation of seats for students from rural .areas, 1/3 seats for girls, and reservation for SC and ST students in proportion to their population in the district.
A socio-economic survey of Navodaya Vidyalaya students was carried out in 221 Vidyalayas in the year 1989-90.The salient findings of the survey were as under:
Economic Status
Family income less than Rs.12,000 PA 63%
Family income less between Rs.36-50,000 PA 5%
Family income below poverty line 41%

The test, called the Jawahar Navodaya Vidyalayas Selection Test (JNVST) is of non-verbal nature, class neutral and so designed as to ensure that talented children from the rural areas are able to compete without facing any disadvantages.

Sufficient publicity is done through Doordarshan, All India Radio, local newspapers, pamphlets, visits of Principals and teachers of Navodaya Vidyalayas to the local schools of the district. As a result rural areas are becoming aware of the Navodaya Vidyalaya Scheme.
