(Rs. in Lakh)

| Financial Year   |   Central Share Released |

| 2016-17          |                   528630 |
| 2017-18          |                   445004 |
| 2018-19          |                   462541 |

Subject: Eklavya Model Residential Schools  in Maharashtra
Ministry: TRIBAL AFFAIRS
Asked by: Krupal Balaji Tumane, Arvind Ganpat Sawant

## GOVERNMENT OF INDIA MINISTRY OF TRIBAL AFFAIRS

## LOK SABHA UNSTARRED QUESTION No. † 4328

TO BE ANSWERED ON 22.03.2021

## EKLAVYA MODEL RESIDENTIAL SCHOOLS IN MAHARASHTRA

†4328. SHRI KRUPAL BALAJI TUMANE: SHRI ARVIND GANPAT SAWANT:

Will the Minister of TRIBAL AFFAIRS be pleased to state:

- (a) the reason for low number of Eklavya Model Residential Schools (EMRS) in second largest ST populated State Maharashtra in comparison to other States;
- (b) whether the current norm of minimum 50 per cent ST population and more than 20,000 ST population in a block has adversely affected the ambition of Maharashtra State to promote this flagship programme;
- (c) if so, the effective steps taken by the Union Government to avoid this;
- (d) whether the Maharashtra Government has proposed 10 per cent to 50 per cent ratio of ST population to the Union Government for approval of the new EMRS;
- (e) if so, whether this proposal has been sanctioned; and
- (f)  the  steps  taken  by  the  Union  Government  to  consider  the  revised  rules  proposed  by Maharashtra and approve 50 new EMRs of the State?

## ANSWER

## MINISTER OF STATE FOR TRIBAL AFFAIRS: (SMT RENUKA SINGH SARUTA)

- (a) to (c) As per Budget Announcement 2018-19, Government has decided to establish at least one Eklavya Model Residential School (EMRS) in each block across the country having 50% or more ST population and minimum 20,000 tribal persons by the year 2022. As per this criteria, a total number of 21 blocks have been identified for establishment of EMRSs in Maharashtra. Out of  this,  12  schools  have  already  been  sanctioned  and  9  more  EMRSs  are  scheduled  to  be sanctioned during 2021-22 subject to furnishing of land details by the State Government. Besides, 18 number of EMRSs had already been sanctioned to the State of Maharashtra prior to the above budget announcement thereby taking the total number of EMRSs in Maharashtra to 39 by the year 2022. Thus, the current norm of minimum 50 per cent ST population and more than 20,000 ST population in a block is not affecting the implementation of this flagship programme in Maharashtra and rather it  is  facilitating  quality  education  to  the  ST  students  in  their  own  environment  with sanction of altogether 39 number of schools by the year 2022.
- (d) to (f) Yes Sir. However, this proposal has not been sanctioned since this Ministry has been focusing to establish at least one EMRS in each block having 50% or more ST population and minimum 20,000 tribal persons across the country by the year 2022 as per existing norms and the total number of schools scheduled to be established across the country is 740 including 39 for Maharashtra upto the year 2022.
