## ANSWER

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

(a) and (b): Union Budget, 2018-19 has announced that school education would be treated holistically and without segmentation from pre-primary to class XII. It is, in this context, that the Department launched the Integrated Scheme for School Education, Samagra Shiksha in 2018 by subsuming the erstwhile  Centrally  Sponsored  Schemes  of  Sarva  Shiksha  Abhiyan  (SSA),  Rashtriya  Madhyamik Shiksha  Abhiyan  (RMSA)  and  Teacher  Education  (TE).  The  scheme  treats  school  education  as  a continuum  and  is  in  accordance  with  Sustainable  Development  Goal  for  Education  (SDG-4).  The scheme not only provides support for the implementation of the RTE Act but has also been aligned with the recommendations of NEP 2020 to ensure that all children have access to quality education with  an  equitable  and  inclusive  classroom  environment  which  should  take  care  of  their  diverse background, multilingual needs, different academic abilities and make them active participants in the learning process.

The  Budget  allocation  for  the  erstwhile  SSA,  RMSA  and  TE  (effective  till  2017-18)  and Samagra Shiksha (effective from 2018-19 onwards) is at Annexure.

Government has considered the proposal for continuation, revision and modification of the Mid-Day  Meal  Scheme  in  2021-22  and  approved  the  Centrally  Sponsored  Scheme  renamed  as 'Pradhan Mantri Poshan Shakti Nirman (PM POSHAN) for providing hot cooked meal to eligible children in Government and Government - aided Schools. The Budget allocation for the erstwhile National Programme for Mid-Day Meal in Schools (effective till 2020-21) and PM POSHAN Scheme (effective from 2021-22 onwards) is at Annexure.

A  Centrally  Sponsored  Scheme  of  Adult  Education  'Padhna  Likhna  Abhiyaan'  was implemented in the Country upto 31.03.2022 with an aim of making adult non-literates as literates. The Government  has  approved  a  new  Centrally  Sponsored  Scheme,  namely,  'New  India  Literacy Programme (NILP)', effective from 2022-23, to align with the National Education Policy 2020 and to support  all  the  States  and  Union  Territories  in  promoting  literacy  among  non-literates  across  the country.  The Budget allocation for Scheme of Adult Education and NILP is at Annexure.
