## ANSWER

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

(a) to (d) Under Sarva Shiksha Abhiyan (SSA) scheme, Ministry of Human Resource Development supports  State  Governments  and  UT  Territory  (UT)  Administrations  for  creation  and  augmentation  of infrastructural  facilities  including  construction  of  additional  classrooms  (ACRs)  in  the  Government elementary schools, according to the Budgetary provision and norms of the scheme. The requirement of infrastructural facilities in schools are worked out every year by the respective State/UT on incremental basis  depending  on  their  need  and  priority  and  reflected  in  their  Annual  Work  Plan  and  Budget (AWP&B).  The  infrastructural  facilities  including  ACRs  sanctioned  to  a  State/UT,  which  are  not completed in the given year, are carried over as spill over by States/UTs in the subsequent year, subject to appraisal and approval of the Ministry.

Since the inception of SSA in 2001, 18.87 lakh ACRs have been sanctioned to States and UTs, out  of  which  they  have  reported  construction  of  17.90  lakh  ACRs  by  September,  2017.  The  details  of funds released to States/UTs including Chhattisgarh for various approved activities including construction of ACRs, during the last three years under SSA are at Annexure.
