Jawahar Navodaya Vidyalaya , Durgapur About Us

Jawahar Navodaya Vidyalaya, Durgapur was established in the year 2003 in accordance with the National Policy of Education 1986. JNVs are fully residential, co-educational schools affiliated to CBSE, New Delhi, having classes from VIth to XIIth standard. These Vidyalayas are managed by Navodaya Vidyalaya Samiti, an autonomous body under the HRD Ministry, Govt. of India. Each Vidyalaya is locally monitored by a committee chaired by the District Collector/District Magistrate. Our students are predominantly from rural areas, and there is a 30% reservation for girls. The salient features of the Navodaya Vidyalaya Scheme are that it provides quality modern education with a strong component of cultural promotion and national integration through the migration of students between Hindi-speaking and non-Hindi-speaking states. The JNV at Durgapur is at the forefront of educational excellence with excellent academic results, as well as commendable achievements in the fields of sports and cultural pursuits, and functions as a pace-setting institution in the district. Residential components are equally well looked after. Admission to JNVs is by means of a competitive test called the JNV Selection Test (JNVST) for entry to class VI. The need for a website was necessitated, as it is the ideal platform for us to disseminate information about the Vidyalaya to the parents of our current students as well as prospective students. It also serves as a medium to maintain the bond with the previous pass-out batches of our Vidyalaya.
