The Navodaya Vidyalaya Samiti (NVS) is an autonomous organization under the Ministry of Education, Government of India. It operates a system of alternate schools called Jawahar Navodaya Vidyalayas (JNVs) across India. These schools are co-educational, residential institutions that provide quality education to talented children predominantly from rural areas.
Key points about Navodaya Vidyalaya Samiti (NVS) and Jawahar Navodaya Vidyalayas (JNVs):
- Establishment: NVS was established in 1985 with the aim of providing modern education to rural children, integrating them with the mainstream of the nation’s education system.
- Jawahar Navodaya Vidyalayas (JNVs): JNVs are residential schools that provide education from the 6th to 12th standard. The admission to these schools is based on a merit-based selection test called the Jawahar Navodaya Vidyalaya Selection Test (JNVST), conducted annually at the national level.
- Focus on Rural Talent: The primary objective of JNVs is to identify and nurture talented children, especially from rural areas, and provide them with quality education comparable to the best in a residential school system.

- Regional and National Integration: JNVs promote national integration by enrolling students from different states and regions. The medium of instruction in these schools is the regional language (the mother tongue of the students) up to the 8th standard, gradually shifting to Hindi and English for higher classes.
- Educational Excellence: Over the years, JNVs have earned a reputation for academic excellence, with many students performing exceptionally well in various competitive exams at the state and national levels.
