Opening of JNV Schools in Tamil Nadu

Opening of JNV Schools in Tamil Nadu | No JNV Schools in Tamil Nady!

“Tamil Nadu which has not yet accepted the Navodaya Vidyalaya Scheme”

The Navodaya Vidyalaya Scheme provides for the opening of one Jawahar Navodaya Vidyalaya (JNV) in each district of the country. Opening of new JNVs is a continuous process that depends upon the willingness of the concerned State Government to make available requisite suitable land free of cost for the construction of school buildings and required temporary accommodation (free of rent) to start the Vidyalaya.

However, the actual sanction and opening of a new JNV depends on the availability of funds and approval by the Competent Authority. One JNV each has been sanctioned in all the districts of the country as on 31st May 2014, excluding Tamil Nadu which has not yet accepted the Navodaya Vidyalaya Scheme.
