The year 1992 was the most auspicious year when the foundation stone of Jawahar Navodaya Vidyalaya, kunihar, solan was laid down. The school campus covers around 119 Bhigas of forested hillside with its buildings connected by steep and windy paths and offering spectacular views at every turn. These buildings include the beautiful old Quad, the modern state of art infrastructure and the newly-refurbished student hostels and staff houses. The academic buildings including several classrooms are linked by a computer network. The widespread use of email and an intranet system shrinks the distances and keeps staff, students and administration in quick and easy contact with one another. The Vidyalaya is situated at a distance of 80 kms from Chandigrah. The school is located  4 K.M  from Kunihar.
