## MINISTER OF STATE IN THE MINISTRY OF EDUCATION

## (SHRI JAYANT CHAUDHARY)

(a)  &  (b):    The  Department  of  School  Education  &  Literacy  is  implementing  the  Centrally Sponsored Scheme of Samagra Shiksha in partnership with all the States and UTs. Financial assistance is provided to all States and UTs for various components for implementation of the interventions under Samagra Shiksha as per norms.

State-wise details of Central Share released and the Funds utilised under Samagra Shiksha since 2020-21 to 2024-25 is at Annexure .

(c) & (d): Under Samagra Shiksha, 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.

This Department has launched a comprehensive online monitoring system called PRABANDH (Project Appraisal, Budgeting Achievements and Data Handling). The system enables Ministry of  Education  and  States  &  UTs  to  monitor  the  releases  and  expenditure  besides  viewing approved  outlays  and  other  scheme  related  information.  Regular  follow  ups  and  review meetings  are  held  with  the  States/UTs  ensuring  an  integrated  approach  for  monitoring  and smooth implementation of the scheme.

Further, Education is a subject in the concurrent list of the Constitution and majority of the schools  and  teachers  in  the  country  are  under  the  administrative  control  of  the  State Governments and UT Administrations. The States/UTs play pivotal role in conceptualization, implementation and realization of such schemes at the grass root level. The NEP, 2020 has laid down the broad framework and finer contours of Education at all levels and facets.
