They were formerly named as Navodaya Vidyalayas and renamed later as Jawahar Navodaya Vidyalayas in the birth-centenary year of Jawaharlal Nehru, the first prime minister of independent India. Navodaya Vidyalayas are all over the country, except Tamil Nadu. There are approximately 557 JNVs across India, offering free education to all students who are selected through the admission process which includes an all-India entrance exam, held at the district level.

A fee of Rs.200 per month is charged for general category boys who are above the poverty line.
