## ANSWER

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

(a) & (b): As  per  the  Unified  District  Information  System  for  Education  (UDISE),  2015-16  10,963 government primary schools (1.55%) and 1,444 secondary schools (0.60%) are running without buildings in the country. State/UT-wise details are at Annexure-I.

(c) & (d): The  Right  of  Children  to  Free  and  Compulsory  Education  (RTE)  Act,  2009  stipulates norms and standards for a recognized school imparting elementary education.  The RTE norms provide for an all-weather school building consisting of, inter alia, at least one classroom for every teacher and an office-cum-store-cum-Head teacher's room and barrier free access.  Section 8 of the RTE Act, 2009 lays down  the  duties  of  the  State  Governments  and  Union  Territory  (UT)  Administrations  to  provide infrastructure in schools as per norms of the Act.  The requirements of infrastructural facilities in schools are worked out every year on incremental basis by the respective State and UT depending on their need and  priority  and  this  is  reflected  in  their  Annual  Work  Plan  and  Budget  (AWP&B).    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.

Since the inception of SSA in 2001 till 30.6.2016, construction of 3.12 lakh school buildings, and 18.72 lakh additional classrooms have been sanctioned to States and UTs, out of which construction of 2.90 lakh school buildings and 17.48 lakh additional classrooms have been completed by States and UTs. The RMSA Scheme presently covers opening of new Government secondary schools (classes IX-X) and strengthening  of  existing  secondary  schools  run  by  the  State  Government  and  local  bodies.  Till  date, under the Scheme 12394 new schools and strengthening of 37382 existing schools have been approved and  post  of  120284  teachers  including  teachers  for  new  schools  and  additional  teachers  for  existing schools have been approved.

(e) & (f): Details of State/UT-wise funds released under SSA and RMSA for the approved activities including infrastructural facilities and expenditure reported by States and UTs during last two years are at Annexure-II.

State-UT-wise details of government primary and upper primary school buildings and secondary school buildings constructed during last two years are at Annexure-III.
