## ANSWER

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

- (a)  to  (c):  The  Department  of  School  Education  and  Literacy  (DoSEL),  Ministry  of Education  has  developed  the  Unified  District  Information  System  for  Education  Plus (UDISE+)  system  to  record  data  on  indicators  of  school  education  provided  by  all  the States and Union Territories. As per Unified District Information System for Education Plus (UDISE+),  enrolments  in  the  Government  and  Government  Aided  schools  for  the  years 2018-19 and 2019-20, State-wise are at Annexure-I. The Gross Enrolment Ratio (GER) is computed  by  considering  total  enrolment  in  a  particular  level  of  school  education, combining all types of school managements,  expressed  as  a  percentage  of the corresponding official age-group which correspond to the given level of school education in a  given  school  year.  Gross  Enrolment  Ratio  (GER)  for  the  years  2018-19  and  2019-20, State-wise are at Annexure-II.
- (d) to (f): Education being in the concurrent list of the Constitution, majority of the schools are  under  the  domain  of  respective  State  and  UT  Governments.  A  sample  survey  was conducted in the month of July, 2020 for schools of Kendriya Vidyalaya Sangathan (KVS), and Navodaya Vidyalaya Samiti (NVS) by the Department. Subsequently, further surveys

were conducted in early 2021 regarding availability of various forms of digital devices with children. NVS has reported 92.95% and KVS has more than 98% of students having full or partial access  to some  digital device. States/UTs  were  advised  vide letter dated 01.02.2021 to conduct survey of children with access and without access to digital devices.

Where  the  digital  facility  (mobile  device/  DTH  television)  is  not  available,  Ministry  of Education  has  taken  many  initiatives  like  DIKSHA,  Swayam  Prabha,  Community  Radio Stations and a podcast called Shiksha Vani of CBSE, Textbooks, worksheet supplied to residence  of  learners,  and  community/mohalla  classes  are  being  organized.  Innovation Funds of Department of School Education & Literacy used to set up mobile school, virtual studios, virtual class rooms in schools, Continuous Learning Plan (CLP) has been initiated in all States/UTs including Telangana. Further, pre- loaded tablets under Samagra Shiksha in various states and UTs are effectively used in remote/rural areas where online classes are difficult.
