## ANSWER

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

(a)  to  (b):  Union  Budget,  2018-19  has  announced  that  school  education  would  be  treated holistically and without segmentation from pre-primary to class XII. It is, in this context, that the Department launched the Integrated Scheme for School Education, Samagra Shiksha in 2018 by subsuming the erstwhile Centrally Sponsored Schemes of Sarva Shiksha Abhiyan (SSA), Rashtriya Madhyamik Shiksha Abhiyan (RMSA) and Teacher Education (TE). The scheme  treats  school  education  as  a  continuum  and  is  in  accordance  with  Sustainable Development  Goal  for  Education  (SDG-4).  The  scheme  not  only  provides  support  for  the implementation of the RTE Act but has also been aligned with the recommendations of NEP 2020 to ensure that all children have access to quality education with an equitable and inclusive classroom environment which should take care of their diverse background, multilingual needs, different academic abilities and make them active participants in the learning process.

The Budget allocation for the erstwhile SSA, RMSA and TE (effective till 2017-18) and Samagra Shiksha (effective from 2018-19 onwards) is at Annexure.

Government has considered the proposal for continuation, revision and modification of the Mid-Day Meal Scheme in 2021-22 and approved the Centrally Sponsored Scheme renamed as 'Pradhan Mantri Poshan Shakti Nirman (PM POSHAN) for providing hot cooked meal to eligible children in Government and Government - aided Schools. The Budget allocation for the erstwhile National Programme for Mid-Day Meal in Schools (effective till 2020-21) and PM POSHAN Scheme (effective from 2021-22 onwards) is at Annexure.

A Centrally Sponsored Scheme of Adult Education 'Padhna Likhna Abhiyaan' was implemented in the Country upto 31.03.2022 with an aim of making adult non-literates as literates. The Government has approved a new Centrally Sponsored Scheme, namely, 'New India  Literacy  Programme  (NILP)',  effective  from  2022-23,  to  align  with  the  National Education Policy 2020 and to support all the States and Union Territories in promoting literacy among non-literates across the country.  The Budget allocation for Scheme of Adult Education and NILP is at Annexure.
