JNV East Garo Hills

The National Policy on Education-1986 envisaged setting up of residential schools, to be called Jawahar Navodaya Vidyalayas, that would bring out the best of rural talent.

It was felt that children with special talent or aptitude should be provided opportunities to progress at a faster pace by making good quality education available to them irrespective of their capacity to pay for it. Such education would enable students from rural areas to compete with their urban counterparts on an equal footing; seamlessly assimilating and intefrating them into the mainstream of the society.

The 26 september 1997 was the most auspicious day when the foundation stone of Jawahar Navodaya Vidyalaya, East Garo Hills was laid down by then state level Education Minister Meghalaya, SHREE   . The school campus covers around 30 acres of forested land with its buildings connected windy paths and offering spectacular views at every turn.These buildings include the beautiful old Quad , the modern state of art infrastructure and the newly refurbished student hostels and staff houses.The academic buildings are linked by a computer network.The Vidyalaya is surrounded by the group of trees.
