- (a) and (b): Education is a subject in the Concurrent List of the Constitution and a majority of schools fall under the functional  domain  of  the  respective  State/Union  Territory  Governments.  Recruitment  is  a  continuous  process  and vacancies get generated due to a number of factors like retirement, resignation, increased requirement of teachers as a result  of  the  enhanced  students'  strength.  The  onus  to  fill  these  vacancies  lies  on  the  State/UT  governments  as recruitment, rational deployment and service conditions are looked after by the respective States/UTs. A total of seven (7) Sanskrit High Schools are functioning in Dhaurhara Parliamentary Constituency. The detailed sanctioned strength and vacancy position in respect of the aforementioned schools is given under.
- (c) Regarding the dilapidated condition, it has been informed by the State government that only 01 Secondary School i.e.  Shri  Shishu  Sudharak  Sanskrit  Madhyamik  Vidyalaya  had  applied  for  associate  grant  for  the  renovation,  repair, construction, re-construction and creation of infrastructural facilities on the portal under project 'ALANKAR'.
