- (b): Ministry of Human Resource Development has commissioned three independent surveys to estimate out of school children in the country. These surveys were conducted in the years 2005, 2009 and 2014. The All India survey of Out of School Children in 6-13 years age group conducted in 2014 revealed that there are 60.64 lakh out of school children in this age group, as compared to 134.6 lakh as per 2005 survey. The major reasons for out of school children reported in the survey are poverty/economic reason, child not interested in studies, child suffering with some disability or poor  health,  child  too  young  to  be  attending  school,  child  needed  to  help  in  domestic  work, education not considered necessary by the parents or Head of the household etc.
- (c): The Department of School Education and Literacy has launched the Samagra Shiksha - an Integrated  Scheme  for  School  Education  as  a  Centrally  Sponsored  Scheme  and  it  is  being implemented throughout the country with effect from the year 2018-19. This programme subsumes the  three  erstwhile  Centrally  Sponsored  Schemes  of  Sarva  Shiksha  Abhiyan  (SSA),  Rashtriya Madhyamik  Shiksha  Abhiyan  (RMSA)  and  Teacher  Education  (TE).  It  is  an  overarching programme  for  the  school  education  sector  extending  from  pre-school  to  class  XII  and  aims  to ensure inclusive and equitable quality education at all levels of school education. It envisages the

'school' as a continuum from pre-school, primary, upper primary, secondary to senior secondary levels.

The  major  interventions,  across  all  levels  of  school  education,  under  the  scheme  are:  (i) Universal Access including Infrastructure Development and Retention; (ii) Gender and Equity; (iii) Inclusive Education; (iv) Quality; (v) Financial support for Teacher Salary;  (vi) Digital initiatives; (vii) Entitlements under the Right of Children to Free and Compulsory Education (RTE) Act, 2009 including  uniforms,  textbooks  etc.;(viii)  Pre-school  Education;  (ix)  Vocational  Education;  (x) Sports  and  Physical  Education;  (xi)  Strengthening  of  Teacher  Education  and  Training;  (xii) Monitoring and (xiii) Programme Management. The main emphasis of the Scheme is on improving quality of school education and the strategy for all interventions would be to enhance the Learning Outcomes at all levels of schooling.

It sees school education holistically without segmenting it into various levels of education. Its main features, inter alia, are as follows:

- (i) Annual Grant of Rs. 5,000 to Rs. 20,000/- per school for strengthening of Libraries.
- (ii) Composite school grant increased from Rs. 14,500-50,000 to Rs. 25,000-1 Lakh and to be allocated on the basis of school enrolment.
- (iii) Annual Grant for sports equipments at the cost of Rs. 5000 for Primary Schools, Rs. 10,000  for  upper  primary  schools  and  up  to  Rs.  25,000  for  secondary  and  senior secondary schools.
- (iv) Allocation for children with Special Needs (CwSN) increased from Rs. 3,000 to Rs. 3,500 per child per annum including a stipend of Rs. 200 per month for CWSN girls to be provided from Classes I to XII. - earlier it was only for classes IX to XII.
- (v) Allocation for uniforms enhanced from Rs. 400 to Rs. 600 per child per annum.
- (vi) Allocation  for  textbooks  enhanced  from  Rs.  150/250  to  Rs.  250/400  per  child  per annum.
- (vii) Upgradation  of  Kasturba  Gandhi  Balika  Vidyalayas  (KGBVs)  from  Class  6-8  to Class 6-12.
- (viii) Strengthening  Teacher  Education  Institutions  like  SCERTs  and  DIETs  to  improve the quality of teachers with SCERT as the nodal institution for in-service and preservice teacher training
- (ix) Enhanced use of digital technology in education through smart classrooms, digital boards and DTH channels.
