Jawahar Navodaya Vidyalayas
The Main stay of the Navodaya Vidyalay Samiti is the administration of the residential schools all over the country and various other activities centring around the school education. The Schools run by the Samiti are called Jawahar Navodaya Vidyalaya (JNV). Five hundred and nine such Schools have been sanctioned in 34 States and Union Territories except Tamil Nadu. Out of these, 485 Schools are presently functional.
The objectives of the Navodaya Vidyalaya Scheme are as follows:
To provide good quality modern education, including a strong component of culture, inculcation of values, awareness of the environment, adventure activities and physical education - to the talented children predominantly from rural areas, without regard to their family\\\'s socio-economic condition.

To serve, in each district, as focal points for improvement in quality of school education in general through sharing of experiences and facilities.
Scouting and Guiding, and NCC
Navodaya Vidyalaya Samiti is recognised as a State for Scouting and Guiding activities by the Bharat Scouts and Guides. Navodaya students regularly and actively participate in various programmes of BSG.
NCC is being introduced in JNVs in a phased manner. Samiti had a total cadet strength of 9420 during 2003-2004. As part of NCC training, students of the JNVs attended several camps and excelled themselves.
Games and Sports
Games and Sports are encouraged in the JNVs to develop fitness, physical and neuro-muscular skills and promote the spirits of co-operation and sportsmanship. Vidyalayas organize National Sports Meets to identify talented children in sports. Specialised sports like archery, Judo and Gymnastics are encouraged in some of the JNVs situated in tribal areas in the country.
Training for Quality Education
It has become very essential for Samiti to organize its own training facilities to equip the 8000 odd teachers working in the Samiti. As such Samiti has established five training centers informally within the available infrastructure in the Vidyalaya campuses at Chandigarh, Ghaziabad, Goa, Hyderabad and Guntur where a building was donated by a local philanthropist. These training centers are now known as \\\"Navodaya Leadership Institutes\\\". These institutes are regularly organizing in-service training courses/refresher courses for the teachers from different parts of the country.
The following are the nature of training courses being conducted from time to time.
Induction /pre-service training courses for the Principals, PGT/TGTs for a duration of 21 days
Content oriented in-service training courses for PGTs and TGTs in different subjects for a duration of two to three weeks depending upon the nature of the course.
Short-term refresher courses for subject teachers on content analysis, innovations, testing and evaluation for a duration of approximately six days to one week.
Capsule courses of three days duration on specific subject areas like remediation, setting up question papers, evaluation etc. depending upon the requirement of teachers.
The training methodology to a large extent is participatory reducing the lecture method to minimum. The process of learning of the trainees will consist methods like discussion, case study, investigation, problem solving, role play, group work, project work, field visits and other participatory activities.

Migration : An Experiment In National Integration
One of the important features of the Navodaya Vidyalaya Scheme is a scheme of exchange of students from one Navodaya Vidyalaya in a particular linguistic region to another Vidyalaya in a different linguistic region to promote understanding of the diversity and plurality of India\\\'s. cultures and people. According to the Scheme 30% of children from one Navodaya Vidyalaya are migrated to another Vidyalaya at Class IX level. The migration lakes place generally speaking, between Hindi and Non-Hindi speaking districts. The students to be migrated are selected by the district magistrates who are ex-officio Chairmen of the Vidyalayas, on the basis of students\\\' voluntary willingness and by a lottery, where sufficient number is not forthcoming on voluntary basis.
Due precautions are taken in transporting the children from the remotest parts of the country between JNVs located in North, South, East or West India. The officers from the Headquarters as well as Regional Offices of the NVS during their visits to JNVs make it a point to see that the migrated children are happily adjusted in the Vidyalayas they have migrated to . By and large, migrated children are well adjusted but for a few exceptions. The Principals have been instructed to ensure that the children under migration are made to feel at home to the extent possible by giving them special care and attention.

Out of these, 485 schools are presently functional.

The opening of a Navodaya Vidyalaya is based on the proposal from the concerned State/UT Governments offering 30 acres of suitable land free of cost, sufficient temporary building and other infrastructure free of rent or on permanent basis.
