Navodaya Admission 2026: Important Information
While education in schools is provided at no cost, which encompasses board and lodging, uniforms, and textbooks, a fee of Rs. 600 per month is imposed exclusively on students in Classes IX to XII for the Vidyalaya Vikas Nidhi (VVN). Nonetheless, students from SC/ST categories, Divyang students, all female students, and those whose family income is below the poverty line (BPL) are exempt from this charge.
For the offspring of Government employees who do not belong to the exempt categories (which include students from Classes VI to VIII, all SC/ST and female students, as well as wards of BPL families), the Vikas Nidhi fee will be determined at Rs. 1500 per month or the actual Children Education Allowance received by the parent per month, whichever is lesser.
However, the VVN fee shall not be lower than Rs. 600 per student per month. The goal is to provide high-quality modern education that incorporates a strong cultural aspect, instills values, raises environmental consciousness, and includes adventure activities and physical education for talented children, primarily from rural backgrounds. Additionally, the initiative aims to encourage national integration by facilitating the migration of students between Hindi and Non-Hindi speaking states.
