A Program Report
Global economic and social trends over the past few decades have had profound implications on
educational reform and the use of technology in schools. The pervasiveness of Information and
Communication Technologies (ICT) have changed the way people live and made it necessary for
educational systems across India to reinvent teaching and learning to prepare students with 21st century
skills.
Perceiving this need for change and leading the movement for inculcating 21st century skills in the
curriculum, the Navodaya Vidyalaya Samiti (NVS) joined hands with Intel and signed an MOU with the
objective of:

ICT integration usage models under the Intel® Teach program.
Conduct capacity building workshops for Principals and Teachers using the relevant Technology
Tools. Support JNV Teachers in integrating ICT into teaching strategies using various Intel® Teach
curriculum assets.
Support the vision of NVS for institutionalizing JNVs as Pace Setting institutions through their
community outreach programs. Empower the learners (8-16 years old) develop 21st century
skills as technological literacy, critical thinking, problem solving, and collaboration through the
Intel® Learn Program. Help enhance the relationship between the Jawahar Navodya Vidyalayas
and community through engaging project-based approaches.
Promote and nurture an aptitude for scientific research amongst the students of Jawahar
Navodaya Vidyalayas by guiding them in creating innovative science projects and providing a
