Jawahar Navodaya Vidyalayas, one of the largest group of schools have emerged on the horizons of education as a synonym for the value- based education system with strong component of culture. Everyone looks forward to the students nurtured in Navodaya culture for an answer to the quarries on the significance of life. In such times AINAA( All India Navodaya Alumni Association) is doing commendable job to integrate the potential units who in different capacities are expected to guide and support the existing students in winning success in their lives so that they become national and global member of the society. They may prove themselves the milestones of path-breaking achievements and potential lights to the budding talents who otherwise may waste their sweetness unrecognized in the desert air.
On 18.11.2006 the whole ambience was jubilant when Sri Niranjan Singh, the Joint Commissioner graced the occasion receiving bouquets from the migrated girl of this vidyalaya and from Rewa Smriti the co-ordinator representing all the Alumnae and alumni hailing from the different states of India.

Its my so nice experience of conducting get-together with Raghvendra bhaeya in my JNV. He is really a good speaker and with mind blowing thoughts..... keep pouring ur ideas and feedbacks ..........
