Objectives and salient features of
Navodaya Vidyalayas
The Navodaya Vidyalaya System is a unique experiment
unparalleled in the annals of school education in India and
elsewhere. Its significance lies in the selection of talented
rural children as the target group and attempt to provide them
with quality education comparable to the best in a residential
school system. Such children are found in all sections of
society, and in all areas including the most backward. But, so
far, good quality education has been available only to
well-to-do sections of society, and the poor have been left out.
It was felt that children with special talent or aptitude should
be provided opportunities to proceed at a faster pace, by making
good quality education available to them, irrespective of their
capacity to pay for it. These talented children otherwise would
have been deprived of quality modern education traditionally
available only in the urban areas. Such education would enable
students from rural areas to compete with their urban
counterparts on an equal footing. The National Policy on
Education - 1986 envisaged the setting up of residential
schools, to be called Jawahar Navodaya Vidyalayas that would
bring out the best of rural talent.
OBJECTIVES -
-
to provide good
quality modern education to the talented
children predominently from the rural areas,
without regard to their family's
socio-economic condition.
-
to ensure that all students of Jawahar
Navodaya Vidyalayas attain a reasonable
level of competence in three languages as
envisaged in the Three Language Formula.
-
to serve, in each district, as focal points
for improvements in quality of school
education in general through sharing of
experiences and facilities.
