Overview

A vacancy has opened for a Principal at Jawahar Navodaya Vidyalaya in Dewas, Madhya Pradesh. The role suits educators who value a structured environment with clear expectations and strong support. Jawahar Navodaya Vidyalaya, established 1989, is a senior secondary school in Dewas, Madhya Pradesh — a CBSE-affiliated school. The working culture is collaborative, professional, and grounded in student-centred decisions.

Day to day, you will:

  • Run faculty meetings, academic reviews, and section-level planning.
  • Observe classes, give actionable feedback, follow up on teacher development.
  • Approve calendars, assessment papers, and major parent communication.
  • Engage with leadership on hiring, budgets, and infrastructure needs.
  • Spend time on the floor — corridors, classrooms, labs — to read the school accurately. Candidate requirements:
  • Senior educator with a balanced view of academics and operations.
  • Proven ability to mentor teachers and improve outcomes over time.
  • Strong stakeholder management — board, parents, regulators, vendors.
  • Comfortable with data — assessments, attendance, faculty metrics.
  • A long-term thinker who can also execute well in the short term. Benefits at a glance:
  • Market-aligned salary (₹8.3 LPA – ₹9.2 LPA).
  • Structured working hours with adequate planning time.
  • Investment in teacher and staff development across the year.
  • A workplace built on clarity and professional respect.
  • Long-term career growth at a school invested in its people. Submit your application here so Jawahar Navodaya Vidyalaya can shortlist you alongside the active pool. Strong profiles move to a brief teaching demo and a discussion with the academic head.
