"Education is not the learning of facts but the training of the mind to think " —Albert Einstein

A school has been earlier recognized as a place where children are sent for formal learning. However the role of schools today has undergone a vast change with many dimensions being added to it. As such education is as old as the human race and it is a continuous process. Modern education is not only acquiring subject knowledge but extent beyond the class room in to developing skills, empowering through activities, updated technology, fitness of body and mind, etc.

Jawahar Navodaya Vidyalayas were established with a motto of achieving Excellence in Education, Equity of educational opportunities and Social justice. JNVs are serving as centres of excellence in each district and promoting National Integration through it's migration scheme. Education in JNVs is imparted using modern techniques and pedagogy in a residential and stress free environment to make the learning a joyful experience. JNVs provide ample opportunities to nurture and promote the talent and creativity of the students by providing them the best state of art facilities to make them creative, innovative, cooperative, collaborative, adoptive and a productive member of ever changing society. Utmost care is being taken and educational activities are planned in such a way to bring out positive, desirable behavioural changes among the students in different fields. More focus is given in all round development of a child which will help them to develop core values and fundamental duties towards the welfare of the society.

It is highly rewarding to learn that the Alumni of JNVs are well placed including administrative services and defence sector of Govt. of India and contribute remarkably in Nation Building. Our JNVs located in Hyderabad Region are the forerunner among the other Regions in achieving the targets fixed by Navodaya Vidyalaya Samiti and marching ahead as torchbearers by setting in new goals. There are many flagship programmes initiated for the students, providing wide range of exposure, to equip them to be more creative and innovative. In JNVs, our mission is to put together the synergies of all our functionaries at various levels to achieve excellence in all spheres of a student. While taking pride in achievements, I feel that we must remain focused on the latest developments in educational field and strive with dedication to fulfil our commitment to be the trend setters to the while nation. Our expertise combined with that of our stake holders, I am confident that we will keep bringing laurels to this great system and in turn to the Nation.
