Who We Are

JNVPJAA is an alumni association of ex-students who once studied at the cherished Jawahar Navodaya Vidyalaya, Paota, Jaipur. The school, tucked away in the Paota village of Rajasthan's Jaipur district, is among several hundred JNVs conceptualized, funded and managed by Navodaya Vidyalaya Samiti, a semi-autonomous body under the aegis of federal government's Ministry of Human Resource Development. The JNVs, one mandated for each district, are wonderful examples of state sponsorship of fully-residential quality education at an unprecedented scale.

Ex-students who hail normally from one district have now gone places, both literally and figuratively. The alumni had a burning desire to re-engage with their batch-mates, seniors and juniors but did not have a platform. The efforts were largely individualistic & therefore sub-optimal. This institutional void led to the genesis of the current alumni association which will anchor all alumni-related activities of JNV Paota, Jaipur. Formation of alumni association feels like building a home for our family members. We, the alumni, hope to re-kindle the same spirit of camaraderie that we used to bubble within our hostel days of the yore!
