Jawahar Navodaya Vidyalaya

Jawahar Navodaya Vidyalayas (JNVs) are a network of elite co-educational schools in India that aim to provide quality education to talented students from rural areas, regardless of their socio-economic background. Established in 1986, they operate under the Navodaya Vidyalaya Samiti and follow the CBSE curriculum. JNVs emphasize a holistic approach to education, including academics, sports, and cultural activities, and offer free education, accommodation, and meals. Admission is primarily through a competitive entrance exam for students in the 6th grade, promoting educational equity and fostering national integration.
