(a) to (c): Education is in the concurrent list of the Constitution and majority of the schools are under  the domain  of  the States/UTs. The  recruitment, service conditions, training  and deployment  of  teachers  come  under  the  purview  of  the  respective  State  and  Union  Territory (UT) Government. Ministry of Education requests the States and UT Governments for training of  teachers  through  Review  meetings  and  advisories  from  time  to  time.  Further,  the  Central Government through the Centrally Sponsored Scheme of Samagra Shiksha, provides assistance to the States and UTs for training of in-service teachers as per the prescribed norms for various levels of schooling.

As per National Education Policy (NEP) 2020, implementation of the Policy requires multiple initiatives and actions, which are to be taken up in a synchronized and systematic manner, by multiple  bodies  including  Ministry  of  Education,  CABE,  State/UT  Governments,  educationrelated  Ministries,  State  Departments  of  Education,  Boards,  NTA,  the  regulatory  bodies  of school and higher education, NCERT, SCERTs, schools and HEIs.

Further, in pursuance of the goals and objectives of the NEP 2020 and to assist States, UTs and other organisations in this task, the Department of School Education & Literacy has developed an  indicative  and  suggestive  NEP  Implementation  Plan  for  School  Education,  'Students'  and 'Teachers' Holistic Advancement through Quality Education (SARTHAQ)'.

In  addition,  National  Initiative  for  School  Heads  and  Teachers  for  Holistic  Advancement  NISHTHA 3.0 has been launched to train the teachers from ECCE to grade V. It has 12 training modules including a module on Multilingual teaching in foundational years, which also covers usage of mother tongue / home language in teaching.

(d): NISHTHA- an Integrated Teacher Training Programme was launched in face to face mode in  2019.  However,  due  to  COVID  pandemic,  the  training  was  made  completely  online  at DIKSHA platform in 2020-21 and 2021-22. The State-wise details of the budget allocated and utilised for Teachers Training under Samagra Shiksha during the last 3 years (2019-20, 2020- 21 and 2021-22) is attached as Annexure I.
