The Navodaya Vidyalayas have been envisaged as pace-setting institutions, centers of educational excellence, providing development opportunities, not only to Navodaya Vidyalaya students but also to the children of neighboring rural area schools through sharing of resources. Leadership qualities and other educational concerns that are linked to community and national developments are also supposed to be inculcated through pace-setting activities. “The pace-setting activities aim to galvanize the academic, social, cultural, and community-oriented environment of schools,” in the vicinity. By having a highly qualified and competent team of teachers, good laboratories and IT infrastructure, teaching aids and sports equipment, and rich libraries, JNVs are in a position to function as a “focal point for improvement in the quality of school education in general, through sharing of experience and facilities”. Interactions of staff and students of Navodaya Vidyalayas with their counterparts in adjoining schools, participation in joint community efforts, adoption of a village for awareness programs, and sharing of educational facilities are some of the pace-setting activities undertaken by Navodaya Vidyalaya. JNVs also make general attempts to involve the local school community in disseminating modern school practices to improve the school ecosystem.
