Jawahar Navodaya Vidyalayas (JNVs) are a system of co-educational residential schools in India, established by the Government of India in 1986. They aim to provide quality education to talented students from rural areas, ensuring that they have access to the same opportunities as those in urban settings. JNVs follow the Central Board of Secondary Education (CBSE) curriculum and offer education from grades 6 to 12. The schools emphasize academic excellence, along with extracurricular activities, to foster overall development. Admission is primarily through a competitive entrance exam, ensuring that deserving students are selected.
