## ANSWER

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

- (a): Yes, Sir. The Department has launched the Samagra Shiksha - an Integrated Scheme for  School  Education  by  subsuming  the  erstwhile  Centrally  Sponsored  Schemes  of  Sarva Shiksha  Abhiyan  (SSA),  Rashtriya  Madhyamik  Shiksha  Abhiyan  (RMSA)  and  Teacher Education (TE) from 2018-19. It is an overarching programme for the school education sector extending  from  pre-school  to  class  XII  and  aims  to  ensure  inclusive  and  equitable  quality education  at  all  levels  of  school  education.  The  scheme  provides  support  inter-alia  for establishment of new schools by up-gradation of upper primary schools to secondary schools and up-gradation of secondary schools to senior secondary schools and, thus, for establishment of composite schools. The scheme also supports strengthening of infrastructure of existing schools.
- (b): Under  erstwhile  Sarva  Shiksha  Abhiyan  (SSA),  till  2017-  18  and  Samagra  Shiksha effective from 2018-19, sanction has been given for total 3.64 lakh new elementary schools, (total 204803 Primary schools and total 160047 Upper Primary Schools) and under erstwhile Rashtriya  Madhyamik  Shiksha  Abhiyan  (RMSA),  till  2017-  18  and  Samagra  Shiksha effective from 2018-19, 13170 new secondary schools have been sanctioned, till 30.06.2022. Apart from this since 2018-19, under Samagra Shiksha, 251 secondary schools have also been upgraded upto higher secondary level and approval for additional subject/stream of study has also  been  given  to  2261  existing  higher  secondary  schools.  State/UT-wise  number  of Secondary schools approved under erstwhile RMSA and Samagra Shiksha is at Annexure-I. Funds under Samagra Shiksha are released in lump sum to the States/UTs and not districtwise.
