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

(a)  &  (b)  :    Yes  Madam.  Kasturba  Gandhi  Balika  Vidyalayas  (KGBVs)  were  sanctioned under the erstwhile Sarva Shikha Abhiyan (SSA) as residential schools at upper primary level for  girls  belonging  to  disadvantaged  groups  such  as  SC,  ST,  OBC,  Minority  and  Below Poverty Line (BPL). The KGBVs are set up in Educationally Backward Blocks (EBBs) of a State/UT where the female rural literacy rate is below the national average.

Under the newly launched Integrated Scheme of School Education namely Samagra Shiksha, effective from the year 2018-19, provision has been made to upgrade the existing KGBVs at upper primary level to upto senior secondary level. The scheme envisages to provide access and  quality  education  to  girls  from  disadvantaged  groups  by  setting  up  residential  schools from  upper primary  to senior secondary level and to ensure smooth transition of girls from elementary to secondary and up to class XII wherever possible.

(c): The number of students provided such educational facilities during the last two years, State/UT-wise is at Annexure.
