## ANSWER

## MINISTER OF STATE IN THE MINISTRY OF HUMAN RESOURCE DEVELOPMENT (SHRI UPENDRA KUSHWAHA)

(a)  :  The  Unified  District  Information  System  for  Education  (UDISE)  captures  data  on  various educational indicators including availability and shortage of basic amenities in schools. State/UTwise details of shortage of   infrastructure   facilities   in   schools   at   elementary   and   secondary level are at Annexure-I (a) & (b).

Under Swachh Vidyalaya initiative, 4,17,796 toilets were constructed in 2,61,400 elementary and secondary government schools in a period of one year from 15.8.2014 to 14.8.2015, thus meeting the target of ensuring that every government school has separate functional toilets for girls  and  boys.  This  includes  schools  in  the  most  difficult  to  reach  areas  in  the  country  such  as districts  facing  Left  Wing  Extremism  (LWE),  in  forests,  remote  mountainous  terrain  and  in crowded slums. With this, about 13.58 crore children in 11.08 lakh government schools have access to gender segregated toilets.

The Right of Children to Free and Compulsory Education (RTE) Act, 2009 mandates the appropriate Governments to provide school infrastructure for elementary education in accordance with the norms prescribed in the schedule to the RTE Act. State Governments/UT administrations are  mandated  to  provide  these  facilities  in  all  schools  as  per  the  time  frame  mandated  under  the RTE Act. Further, the Hon'ble Supreme Court in Writ Petition (Civil) No. 631 of 2004 in the matter of Environmental and Consumer Protection Foundation vs. Delhi Administration and Others, had directed,  in  its  order  dated  3.10.2012  that  all  States  and  Union  Territories  provide,  inter  alia, drinking water and toilet facilities, if not already provided.

(b) The implementation of Sarva Shiksha Abhiyan (SSA) is reviewed twice every year by a Joint Review  Mission  comprising  independent  experts  and  external  funding  agencies  covering  States.  The Ministry of Human Resource Development convenes periodic meetings with State Education Ministers and Secretaries to review the programme implementation.

The Central Government supports State Governments and UT Administrations for creation and  augmentation  of  infrastructural  facilities  in  government  elementary  and  secondary  schools under  Sarva  Shiksha  Abhiyan  (SSA)  and  Rashtriya  Madhyamik  Shiksha  Abhiyan  (RMSA) programmes.  The  requirement of infrastructural facilities in schools are worked out every year by the respective State and Union Territory on incremental basis depending on their need and priority and this is reflected in their Annual Work Plan and Budget (AWP&B). Regular meetings are held with representatives of States and UTs to monitor performance of infrastructure created and status of education in schools.

Since  the  inception  of  SSA  in  2001  till  30.9.2016,  3.64  lakh  new  elementary  schools, construction of 3.11 lakh school buildings, and 18.73 lakh additional classrooms, 2.42 lakh drinking water  facilities,  10.36  lakh  school  toilets  and  19.48  lakh  teacher  posts  have  been  sanctioned  to States and UTs.  Out of which 3.60 lakh new elementary schools have been opened, construction of 2.90 lakh school buildings and 17.59 lakh additional classrooms have been completed, 2.31 lakh drinking water facilities have been provided and 9.69 lakh school toilets constructed, and 15.75 lakh teachers have been recruited.

Since  the  inception  of  RMSA  in  2009-10  till  31.3.2016,  11,599  new  secondary  schools, 52,715 additional classrooms, 25,948 science laboratories, 21,864 computer rooms, 27,428 libraries, 19,800 toilet blocks and 12,327 drinking water facilities have been sanctioned to States and UTs. Out of these 10,107 new schools have been opened, construction of 23,488 additional classrooms, 11,753 science laboratories, 8585 computer rooms and 12,440 libraries have been completed and 19,800 toilet blocks and 7,699 drinking water facilities have been provided.

(c): Details  of  funds  released  to  States  and  UTs  under  SSA  and  RMSA  programmes  for approved activities including facilities in schools during the last three years and the current year are at Annexure-II.
