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

(a) to (d): Education is in the Concurrent List of the Constitution and majority of the schools are under  the  domain  of  the  States/Union  Territories  Government.  The  recruitment,  service conditions,  transfer,  posting  and  redeployment  of  teachers  come  under  the  purview  of  the respective State and Union Territory (UT) Government. The state-wise number of Government aided schools in the country is at Annexure. Further, Ministry  of  Human  Resource Development has been requesting all the States and UT Government for filling-up the vacant posts of teachers and their rational deployment, for which the Ministry issues advisories to all the States and UTs from time to time.
