## ANSWER MINISTER OF STATE IN THE MINISTRY OF EDUCATION (SMT. ANNPURNA DEVI)

(a) to (e): As per the information uploaded by the State of Bihar on PRoject Appraisal, Budgeting Achievements and Data Handling System (PRABANDH) Portal, the details of approvals and progress for carrying out various interventions under Samagra Shiksha Scheme from 2018-19 to 2021-22 are at Annexure.

Under Centrally Sponsored scheme of Samagra Shiksha financial assistance is provided as per the fund sharing pattern as decided by the Ministry of Finance. Under the  scheme,  the  annual  plans  are  prepared  by  the  States  and  UTs  based  on  their requirements and priority and this is reflected in their respective Annual Work Plan and Budget (AWP&B) Proposals. These plans are then appraised and approved/estimated by the Project Approval Board (PAB) in the Department of School Education & Literacy in consultation with the States and UTs as per the programmatic and financial norms of the  scheme,  and  physical  and  financial  progress  of  the  State  for  the  interventions approved earlier. Further, the funds are released on the basis of submission of Audited Accounts, Utilization Certificate,  physical  and  financial  progress  and  other  documents as  prescribed  under  the  Financial  Management  &  Procurement  (FMP)  Manual  of Samagra Shiksha.

Education is in the Concurrent list of the Constitution. As per Section 23 (3) of the Right of Children to Free and Compulsory Education (RTE) Act, 2009 'the salary and allowances payable to, and the terms and conditions of services of teachers  shall be such  as  may  be  prescribed.'  Thus,  terms  and  conditions  of  recruitment,  salary  and service  of  all  teachers  are  governed  and  regulated  by  the  concerned  State  and  UT Government as stipulated in their Rules/ Regulations/ Notifications. As per framework of Centrally  Sponsored  Scheme  of  Samagra  Shiksha,  there  is  no  separate  cadre  of teachers sanctioned by the Centre. All teachers are ultimately the responsibility of the State Government. However, through Samagra Shiksha, Central Government provides financial assistance to States and UTs for teacher salary as per the prescribed norms of the scheme.
