## ANSWER

## MINISTER OF WOMEN AND CHILD DEVELOPMENT (SHRIMATI SMRITI ZUBIN IRANI)

2018-19 for universalization of quality education throughout the country in coordination with  the  States  and  UTs.  Bridging  gender  and  social  category  gaps  at  all  levels  of school education is one of the major objectives of the scheme.

Since Education is a subject in the concurrent list of the Constitution, States also adopt several measures to incentivise education of girls, which include provision of bicycles, financial incentives etc. as per their specific requirements. In  order  to  mitigate  the  impact  of  challenges  thrown  by  the  COVID-19  pandemic, instructions and guidelines have been issued by Ministry of Education to States & UTs for continuing education of all children, including girls. Further, the States and UTs have also been suggested steps/actions to be taken during the school closure and also when the schools re-open such as, identification of out of school children from ages 6 to 18 years, enrollment drives and awareness generation, student support while schools are closed, continued education for Children with Special Needs (CwSN) etc.

To  reduce  gender  gaps  at  all  levels  of  school  education  and  ensure  greater participation  of  girls  in  education,  various  interventions/provisions  under  Samagra Shiksha have been targeted. State/UT wise details of outlay for various components of Samagra Shiksha is at Annexure-I.
