## ANSWER MINISTER OF STATE IN THE MINISTRY OF HUMAN RESOURCE DEVELOPMENT (DR. SATYA PAL SINGH)

- (a) The Ministry of Human Resource Development in association with the State Governments, UT Administrations, Public Sector Undertakings (PSUs) and Private Corporates had launched the Swachh Vidyalaya initiative to provide separate toilets for boys and girls in all government schools within one year. Under this initiative 4,17,796 toilets had been constructed/reconstructed in 2,61,400 Government elementary and secondary schools till 15 August, 2015.
- (b) The  Central Government  supports  States and UTs  for creation and augmentation of infrastructure  facilities  including  construction  of  toilets  in  government  elementary  and  secondary schools.  State-wise  funds  allocated  under  erstwhile  Sarva  Shiksha  Abhiyan  (SSA)  and  Rashtriya Madhyamik Shiksha Abhiyan (RMSA) schemes exclusively for construction of toilets in government schools  under  the  Swachh  Vidyalaya  initiative  are  at Annexure-I .  PSUs  and  private  corporates contributed  in  construction  of  1,45,102  toilets  in  government  schools  with  their  Corporate  Social Responsibility funds under the initiative. State-wise release of funds from Swachh Bharat Kosh for construction/repair of school toilets under the Swachh Vidyalaya Initiative is at Annexure-II .

(c) & (d) More than 300 Central observers had visited the districts across the country to monitor the construction of toilets under the Swachh Vidyalaya initiative. The requirement of infrastructural facilities  in  schools  is  worked  out  every  year  by  the  respective  State  and  Union  Territory  on incremental basis depending on the gap identified by UDISE database and reflected in their Annual Work Plan and Budget (AWP&B). Regular meetings are held with representatives of States and UTs to monitor the infrastructure facilities including toilets in schools.

The  primary  responsibility  of  maintenance  of  school  toilets  lies  with  the  concerned  State Government and UT Administration. The Ministry of Human Resource Development has requested all  States/UTs to  ensure  proper  maintenance  of  toilets  constructed  under  the  Swachh  Vidyalaya initiative to keep them functional, and to also take steps to bring about behavioural changes among students and teachers through an intensive awareness campaign to ensure that the toilets are properly used and kept neat and clean.

The Ministry of Human Resource Development has requested the Public Sector Undertaking (PSUs)  who  participated  in  the  Swachh  Vidyalaya  initiative  to  maintain  the  toilets  constructed  by them for at least five years.  Further, the Ministry of Panchayati Raj has advised the Panchayati Raj Departments of all States to include the provision for construction and regular repair/maintenance of the  toilets  in  schools  in  the  Gram  Panchayat  Development  Plans  under  14 th Finance  Commission grants.

The Ministry of Human Resource Development (Department of School Education & Literacy), Ministry of Panchayati Raj and Ministry of Drinking Water and Sanitation have also jointly addressed the  States  regarding  participation  and  support  of  Gram  Panchayats  in  putting  in  place  proper arrangements for regular cleaning of school toilets and waste disposal in schools.

A new integrated Scheme for School Education - Samagra Shiksha subsuming the erstwhile Centrally Sponsored Schemes of SSA, RMSA and Teacher Education (TE) has been launched w.e.f. 1.4.2018, which inter alia envisages an annual recurring composite grant of upto Rs. 1.00 lakh, based on enrolment, for all Government Schools  for  the replacement of non-functional  school  equipment and for incurring other recurring costs such   as consumables for   play   materials,   sports equipment,   laboratories,  electricity  charges,  internet,  water,  teaching  aids  etc.  It  also  provides  for annual maintenance and repair of existing school building, toilets and other facilities to upkeep the infrastructure in good condition. Each school is required to spend atleast 10% of the composite school grant on activities related to Swachhata Action Plan including maintenance of toilets.
