Introduction
In accordance with the National Policy of Education (1986)
Government of India started Jawahar Navodaya Vidyalayas (JNVs). Presently the
JNVs are spread in 27 States and 7 Union Territories. These are co-educational
residential schools fully financed and administered by Government of India
through an autonomous organization, Navodaya Vidyalaya Samiti. Admissions in
JNVs are made through the JAWAHAR NAVODAYA VIDYALAYA SELECTION TEST (JNVST) at
Class VI. The medium of instruction in JNVs is the mother tongue or regional
language up to Class VIII and English thereafter for Maths and Science and Hindi
for Social Science. Students of the JNVs appear for X and XII class examinations
of the Central Board of Secondary Education. While education in the schools is
free including boarding, lodging, uniforms and textbooks, a nominal fee of
Rs.200/- per month will have to be paid by the children from IX to XII class.
However, children belonging to SC/ST, Girls and Physically Handicapped and from
