The efficient management of a residential school depends upon the quality of the House system
;functioning in a school. A House consists of group ofchildren effectively led by responsible teacher
f(House Master) who acts as a parent, guide, philosopher and friend for every member of the House.
-A House inherently provides a family atmosphere in making the child physically fit, socially adjusted,

Learn to life work endure and enjoy together and develop a degree of sensitivity for
other feelings and needs.
Formation of House

Even though various guidelines for formulation of House system in JNVs have been
communicated, it has been observed a common system is not being followed in JNVs. The formation
of Houses differs from one region to another and many .Yidyalayas have failed to evolve an efficient
House System for taking proper care of the children residing and studying in the JVNs. Keeping this
in view, it has been decided io communicate specific guidelines for formation of House System in
JNVs.

As intimated earlier, a two-tier system of Houses shall function in a Navodaya Vidyalayas:

i) "Junior Houses for Classes VI to VII I
ii) Senior Houses for Classes IX to XII
In a full-fledged Vidyalaya, there will be four junior Houses and four senior Houses and two
Houses for girls (one from Classes VI to VIII and another from Classes IX to XII). Therefore, there
. will be eight House Master for boys and two for girls. Average Strength of a House shall be 50.
Though all the girls in a JNV have beenplacad under two Houses (Junior and Senior) for
effective supervision and management, both the House shall be "further divided into four groups
·each.For the conduct of Inter House activities, each group of girls of a junior House shall be linked
with a junior House (boys) etthe same House and similarly each group of girls ofa senior House
shall be linked with the corresponding Se~Wr House (boys). ·.
Names of Houses

Since JNVs have been established in every comer of the country names of.the Houses should
a
also reflect all India character of Vidyalayas .. This will create feeling of '.one~ness' not only among
the Vidyalayas but also among the children who migrate in Class IX from one Ji11guistic region to
JNVs.- :Keeping
another. .· this
. in view, following
. four name

since they are commonly attached to all Houses for the conduct of inter House activities.
Role of House Master

A residential school system revolves around the personality, capability and effectiveness of
the House Master. A House Master is a leader of the House. He/she should be able to motivate and
guide all the children placed under his/her care. He has to ensure that children of his House participate
in all inter-House activities and also do well. He is responsible for over-all welfare of all the children
in his House. Preferably, House Masters may be rotated after 4-5 years so that other talented members
of academic staff may get opportunity to look after the welfare of the children.
Role of Associate House Masters & Tutors

In a House system, House Master is assisted by an Associated House Master and by other
teachers (called Tutors) attached to his House. They should provide assistance to House Master
and carry out all house related responsibilities assigned to them by their House Master.
Planning for Inter-House Competitions

House Master is personally responsible that boys/girls of his House take part in all Inter House
CCA & sports/games activities in the Vidyalaya. He is supported by Associate House Masters and
Tutors who are attached with him for proper management of the House. House staff (House Master
Associate House Master, Tutor} should take pride in grooming various teams for Inter-House activities

D.O.No. 2-18/2003-NVS(SA) November 06, 2003

Dear Principal,

As you are aware that the Principal and teachers are expected to make the JNVs a parallel
extension of home for a child by creating a ·climate and environment where students feel that they
are living in a home. It is to be born in mind that the children in Navodaya Vidyalayas for a maximum
period in a year remains away from their parents and their social atmosphere etc. This very situation
' of separation of a child from his/her original atmosphere calls for great concern to provide a homely
i
i1!i atmosphere and parental affection which fulfills their social and emotional needs as well as developing
their personalities.
ji
With the aim to provide a kind of family support with parental care towards individual attention
I to the children, houses are formed and teachers are associated with each house to act as House
Master/Mistress (HMs)/Associate House Master. Therefore, the role of a House Master/mistress in
I the Navodaya Vidyalaya is of vital importance. His/her job demands a very dedicated, matured and .
j!
a judicious approach round the clock. ·

~ I understand that Samiti has already issued guidelines for organisation of House System in all
I JNVs vlde letter dated 29th March, 20001. I am sure thatthese guidelines are being implemented in
your Vidyalaya. From the analysis of the reports of the circumstances leading to unforeseen incidents
in some JNVs it has been observed tnatthe efficient management of the JNVs largely deperids upori
the quality of the House functioning. It is, .therefore, felt necessary to reiterate the role of Principal
and House Masters/Mistress in JNVs towards the house management.
The Principal as the head of the institution must keep a fatherly/motherly eye on all the students.
The Principal has to be a source of inspiration to the teacher and students and his/her behaviour at
all times has to be exemplary. He/she should adopt special measures to sensitize the subordinate
start towards house management. The house achievements and effective role of the house master/
mistress should be recorded and projected in the morning assembly or in the House evenings and
also to be displayed on notice boards to keep healthy spirit of competition among the houses.
I am enclosing 'herewlth suggested guidelines about the role of a House Jvlaster/Mistress·for
your ·immediate attention and action2. You are requested to sit with the teachers and discuss on
these points for adopting strategies to ensure meticulous ·implementation of the guidelines. The
duties & responsibilities can be divided amongst the House Master, Associate House Master and
Matron :according to local situations. ··

It is to be ensured that the 'teachers not only know and understand their duties and
responsibllltlss ;but also put the same into practice. ·There will be no compromise on any kind of
negiigence, and indifference either on the part of Principal or teachers associated with the house.
The Principal may keep a strict vigil on the activities Of house Masters/mistress besides providing
adequate support aI1q_guig_~oce_ to .them. · ·

ln view of the fact that all the JNVs were started in temporary buildings and furniture for dining
~' hall was purchased on need basis, the uniformity in purchase of furniture has not been maintained in
most of the JNVs. Keeping in view the effective utilisation of the furniture based on the size of the
dining hall, furniture of following dlrnensions is recommended:
6.1 Dining Table 8' (Length) x 3' (Width) x 2.25' (Height) with. Stainless Steel/
Aluminium Sheet/Stone/Marble top.

easily be seated. At the both ends of such arrangements of table, chairs for teachers
should be kept so that they dine aiongwith the children. :·
