“Where the mind is without fear and the head is held high,Where knowledge is free Where the world has not been broken up into fragments by narrow domestic walls; Where words come out from the depths of truth; Where tireless striving stretches its arms towards perfection;” These are the extracts from a poem composed by a visionary inspired by natural justice, Nobelist and Philosopher Gurudev Rabindra Nath Tagore. Although written ages earlier yet relevant today if viewed in the backlight of the sufferings of the common man of Bharat Mata and how it unfolded its coil of scared and wounded identity. Poorest of the poor yet talented, possessing multiplicity of skills and ideas, capable of serving Bharat Mata but for missing opportunity and required place and facilities, Thanks to Navodaya indeed!!! Its all free of cost. 

              Here Bharat Mata Ke Lal get every opportunity required to support their upbringing while allowing them required freedom  of conscience and rightly showing them the true light out of a darkened channel of hopelessness and disappointment. Jawahar Navodaya Vidyalaya Rayagada, Odisha is the right place where an innocent child lands, finds her/him accepted and scaffolded from all around in a positive stress free and flamboyant environment. New Education policy 2020 as it envisions is the driving force and the principle guiding our vision and mission. Through an objective, free and fare test students are selected every year in class VI and IX and XI purely on merit basis in 75:25 ratio from rural and urban areas of which 33% are girls and 3% students in the physically challenged category. They are guided by a well trained and experienced team of teachers who are equipped with modern student friendly experiential method of teaching and learning using artificial intelligence wherever required, ready to help children round the clock. Navodaya adopts an entirely flexible and inclusive approach aiming for the holistic development of the children irrespective of caste creed and gender including physical challenges who help themselves develop in their zone of proximity using state of the art technology integrated teaching learning process at their own pace. Students are also exposed to sports, music, arts, and other co-curricular activities of their choice which not only add to their knowledge but also leads to their all-round development, instilling confidence and inculcating leadership skills thus preparing them for the future challenges of life. They get equal opportunity to develop their skills as envisaged in the NEP to stand tall in their life and contribute to the development of the society and the nation. Navodaya therefore is synonymous with an educational institution actualizing the vision shared by the Great Rabindra Nath Tagore. Navodaya is bringing Sat-Chit-Anand come true in the lives of our children who have proven their presence in every sphere of life. Come and join us. Jai Naovodaya.
