## ANSWER

## MINISTER OF STATE IN THE MINISTRY OF EDUCATION

## (SMT. ANNPURNA DEVI)

(a): The  erstwhile  Centrally  Sponsored  Scheme  of  Sarva  Shiksha  Abhiyan  (SSA)  was under implementation since 2000-2001 for universalization of elementary education throughout the country. Presently, SSA along-with other two centrally sponsored schemes of Rashtriya  Madhyamik  Shiksha  Abhiyan  (RMSA)  and  Teacher  Education  (TE)  have  been subsumed under a new Integrated Scheme for School Education-Samagra Shiksha, launched in the country 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 has been aligned with recommendations  of  the  National  Education  Policy:2020  (NEP:2020)  and  continued  from 2021-22  to  2025-26.  The  State/UT-wise  details  of  central  share  released  and  expenditure incurred by States/UTs under Samagra Shiksha during last three years  2020-21, 2021-22 and 2022-23 is given at Annexure-I.

(b)  &  (c):  Education  is  in  the  concurrent  list  of  the  Constitution.  The  recruitment,  service conditions and deployment of teachers come under the purview of the respective State and Union  Territory  (UT)  Government.  The  recruitment  of  teachers  in  schools  is  a  continuous process and  the  vacancies  keep  arising  due to retirement, resignation and  additional requirements on account of enhanced students' strength/new schools. However, the Ministry of  Education  requests  the  State  and  UT  Governments  for  filling-up  the  vacant  posts  of teachers and their rational deployment, 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 maintaining appropriate Pupil-Teacher Ratio  (PTR)  as  per  the  prescribed  norms  for  various  levels  of  schooling.  Total  number  of vacancies  of  teachers  reported  by  the  Government  of  West  Bengal  for  the  years  2019-20, 2020-21,  2021-22,  2022-23  and  2023-24  is  69349,  68711,  57814,  55814  and  60515 respectively.

(d):  In  order  to  meet  the  RTE  norms  and  to  minimize  the  gaps  in  Schools,  the  Central Government,  through  integrated  centrally  sponsored  scheme  of  Samagra  Shiksha,  provides support  to  the  States  and  UTs  for  creation  of  school  infrastructure  facilities  and  opening/ upgradation  of  schools  as  per  gaps  identified  from  school  mapping.  As  per  norms  of  the Samagra Shiksha scheme, the annual plans are prepared by the States and UTs as per their requirements/priority  and  is  reflected  in  their  respective  Annual  Work  Plan  and  Budget (AWP&B) Proposals. These plans are then appraised and approved/estimated by the Project Approval Board (PAB) in the Department of School Education and Literacy in consultation with  the  States  and  UTs  as  per  the  programmatic  and  financial  norms  of  the  scheme  and physical and financial progress of the State for the interventions approved earlier.

State/UT-wise  details  of  cumulative  Infrastructural  development  from  2014  upto  October 2023 under the Scheme is given at Annexure-II.

(e):  The  Central  Government  releases  overall  funds  to  States/UTs  and  district/interventionwise releases are not made under Samagra Shiksha. The States/UTs further release the funds to District, Block and Government Schools based on the approvals for implementation of the interventions  provided  under  the  Samagra  Shiksha.The  details  of  funds  allocated  under Samagra Shiksha to Darjeeling, Kalimpong and North Dinajpur districts of West Bengal since 2019 are as follows:
