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

- (a) : The recruitment and service conditions of teachers are primarily in the domain of respective State Governments and UT Administrations. The Central Government has  been  continuously  pursuing  the  matter  of  regular  teacher  recruitment  and redeployment  of  teachers  with  the  concerned  administrative  authorities  in  various fora.  The  State-wise  vacancy  position  of  Government  teachers  including  Haryana are at Annexure- I.
- (b): The details of posts lying vacant in Kendriya Vidyalayas across the country in newly  opened  Vidyalayas  including  in Janjgir Champa  of  Chhattisgarh  is  at Annexure-II

(c): The total number of sanctioned posts of teachers in Kendriya Vidyalayas is 46,141 including Principal  & Vice-Principal and the students teacher ratio is 27:1. However there is no prescribed students teacher ratio in Kendriya Vidyalayas.  As per the norms of the Right of Children to Free and Compulsory Education (RTE) Act, 2009 the Pupil Teacher Ratio (PTR) at the primary level should be 30:1, at the upper primary level it should be 35:1 at the secondary level, the PTR is 30:1.

(d): The Central Government through the flagship programmes of Sarva Shiksa Abhiyan  (SSA)  at  elementary  level  and  Rashtriya  Madhyamik  Shiksha  Abhiyan (RMSA)  at  secondary  level  provides  assistance  to  State  Governments/UTs  for additional teachers to maintain appropriate Pupil Teacher  Ratio as per the prescribed norms for various levels of schooling. Central Government regularly takes up the issue of filling up of vacant teacher posts and redeployment of teachers with the State Government and UTs. The Central Government is taking similar action for expeditious  filling  up  the  post  of  teachers  in  Kendriya  Vidyalayas  and  Navodaya Vidyalayas .
