Jawahar Navodaya Vidyalayas (JNVs), a co-educational residential set-up under the
umbrella of Navodaya Vidyalaya Samiti is an initiative of (L) Shri Rajiv Gandhi, ex-Prime
Minister of India who envisioned the need of providing free and quality education to the
underprivileged rural talented students. Navodaya Vidyalayas has emerged as one of the
most successful scheme of the Government of India under the Ministry of Human Resource
Development. The JNVs are set up in each and every district across the country except in the
state of Tamil Nadu.

Having established in the year 1987, Navodaya Vidyalaya Samiti, Regional Office,
Shillong presently hosts as many as 91 JNVs across each and every district in the North East
including the state of Sikkim. The academic excellence offered by the Navodaya Vidyalaya
draws the attention of the rural masses where the registration statistics is appealing. Students
enrolled in this organisation have to pass through a transparent admission process i.e., JNV
Selection Test. The organisation is equipped with qualified faculty and is affiliated to the
CBSE curriculum. As the JNVs are a residential set up, the faculty works round the clock to
ensure academic excellence, safety and security to the students. It also provides a holistic
approach to help shape the minds of the young students, engage the students in different co-
curricular activities and in the field of sports. Though this Region has its challenges in
terms of topography, infrastructure and first generation learners, yet the organisation strives
hard to mark its importance at the National level.

The young students of this Region have the potential to excel. I strongly believe that
this Region can flourish and produce many eminent personalities in every field who will
contribute for the well being of the country and this can be achieved only through the
collective efforts of our stakeholders. I look forward to a good-coordination with the District

Administration, co-operation of the staff and students and most importantly, active
