## ANSWER

## MINISTER OF STATE IN THE MINISTRY OF EDUCATION

## (SHRI JAYANT CHAUDHARY)

(a) to (d):  The details of Central Share released to State/UTs under Samagra Shiksha during the last five years is at Annexure . Under Samagra Shiksha Central Government releases funds to States / UTs in four instalments and funds are released to the States/UTs based on the pace of expenditure, receipt of commensurate state share, audited accounts, statement on outstanding advances, up-to date expenditure statement, audited utilization certificate of previous year and furnishing of requisite information as prescribed by Ministry of Finance and the Manual on Financial  Management  &  Procurement  of  the  scheme.  The  allocation  of  central  share  to States/UTs under Samagra Shiksha are made as per the Budget Provision, intervention-wise releases are not made. The State further releases the funds as per requirements based upon the approvals under PAB of Samagra Shiksha.

Section 6 of the RTE Act mandates that the appropriate Government (the State Government for State and UT Government for the Union territory having legislature) and local authority must establish  a  school  within  a  prescribed  area  or  neighbourhood  within  three  years  from  the commencement of the Act. Section 7(1) stipulates that the Central Government and the State Governments  shall  have  concurrent  responsibility  for  providing  funds  for  carrying  out  the provisions of this Act. Section 7(5) unambiguously states that the State government shall, taking into consideration the sums provided by the Central Government to a State Government under sub-section (3), and its other resources, be responsible to provide funds for implementation of the provisions of the Act. The fund sharing pattern for the scheme between Centre and States is at present in the ratio of 90:10 for the 8 North-Eastern States viz. Arunachal Pradesh, Assam, Manipur, Meghalaya, Mizoram, Nagaland, Sikkim and Tripura and 3 Himalayan States/UTs viz. Jammu &Kashmir, Himachal Pradesh and Uttarakhand and 60:40 for all other States and Union Territories with  Legislature (except J&K).  It is  100%  centrally sponsored for Union Territories without Legislature.

The National Education Policy (NEP) 2020 has been launched on 29.07.2020 after detailed consultation process with all stakeholders including Gram Panchayats, Blocks, Urban Local Bodies, Districts and States/Union Territories Governments, Hon'ble Members of Parliament, public etc.  As per Para no. 27.1 of National Education Policy 2020, implementation of the Policy requires multiple initiatives and actions, which will have to be taken by multiple bodies in a synchronized and systematic manner. NEP 2020 provides different timelines as well as principles and methodology for its implementation. Accordingly, Ministry of Education, State Governments, education-related Ministries, the regulatory and implementing bodies of school and higher education such as University Grants Commission, All India Council for Technical Education, National Council for Teacher Education, National Council of Educational Research and Training, Central Board of Secondary Education, Universities/Colleges/Schools etc. have taken several initiatives for implementation of NEP 2020.

Further, Education is in the concurrent list of the constitution and majority of the schools are under the administrative domain of the respective State and UT Government. Therefore, the major responsibility of implementation of NEP 2020 following prescribed norms and standards falls under the domain of the respective States and UT Governments.

As per information from the State of Uttar Pradesh, Aonla Parliamentary Constituency includes some part of district Badaun and some part of Bareilly. Similarly, Etah-Kasganj Parliamentary Constituency includes some part of Kasganj and some part of Etah district. However, the budget is allocated district wise in UP. District wise expenditure of the districts of Bareilly, Badaun, Etah and Kasganj is as under:
