## ANSWER MINISTER OF HUMAN RESOURCE DEVELOPMENT (SHRI RAMESH POKHRIYAL 'NISHANK')

(a) to (f): The number of adhoc/contractual teachers in Kendriya Vidyalaya Sangathan (KVS) employed during the last three years is at Annexure. Part time teachers in KVS are engaged as per the eligibility criteria laid down by the KVS against existing/leave vacancy and on day to day basis. The remuneration of part time teachers is regulated according to the recommendation of the Finance Committee duly approved by Board of Governors in its 94 th meeting held in December 2012.

Further,  education  is  in  the  concurrent  list  of  the  Constitution  and  majority  of  the schools  come  under  the  jurisdiction  of  the  respective  States  and  Union  Territory  (UT) Government  which  is  the  appropriate  Government  under  the  Right  of  Children  to  Free  and Compulsory Education (RTE) Act, 2009. The recruitment, service conditions and deployment of teachers  and  other  staff  come  under  the  purview  of  the concerned  State/UT  Government. Ministry  of  Human  Resource  Development  has  been  requesting  all  the  States  and  UT Governments  for  filling-up  the  vacant  posts  of  teachers  and  their  rational  deployment,  for which the Ministry has been issuing advisories to all  the States and UTs from time to time. Further,  the  Central  Government,  through  the  Centrally  Sponsored  Scheme  of  Samagra Shiksha,  provides  assistance  to  the  States  and  UTs  for  deployment  of  additional  teachers  to maintain  appropriate  Pupil  Teacher  Ratio  as  per  the  prescribed  norms  for  various  levels  of schooling.
