Migration : An Experiment In National Integration

One of the important features of the Navodaya Vidyalaya Scheme is a scheme of exchange of students from from one Navodaya Vidyalaya in a particular linguistic region to another Vidyalaya in a different linguistic region to promote understanding of the diversity and plurality of India's. cultures and people.According to the Scheme 30% of children from one Navodaya Vidyalaya are migrated to another Vidyalaya at Class IX level.The migration lakes place generally speaking, between Hindi and Non-Hindi speaking districts.The students to be migrated are selected by the district magistrates who are ex-officio Chairmen of the Vidyalayas, on the basis of student's voluntary willingness and by a lottery, where sufficient number is not forthcoming on voluntary basis.Due precautions are taken in transporting the children from the remotest parts of the country between JNVs .locatedlocated in North, South, East or West India.The officers from the Headquarters as well as Regional offices of theNVS during their visits to JNVs make it a point to see that the migrated children are happily adjusted in theVidyalayas they have migrated to.By and large, migrated children are well adjusted but for a few exceptions.The Principals have been instructed to ensure that the children under migration are made to feel at home to inthe extend possible by giving them special care and attention.
