- (i) The  Department  of  School  Education  and  Literacy  is  implementing  an  Integrated Centrally Sponsored Scheme for School Education Samagra Shiksha w.e.f. 201819. The scheme aims to ensure that all children, from pre-school to class 12, 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 scheme aligns with the National Education Policy 2020 and Sustainable Development Goal (SDG-4) which focuses on quality education. The scheme also targets  foundational  literacy  and  numeracy,  holistic  and  integrated  curriculum  and innovative  pedagogical  methods,  aiming  to  bridge  social  and  gender  gaps  in education.
- (ii) Strengthening  Teaching-Learning  and  Results  for  States  (STARS)  Project , supported  by  the  World  Bank,  is  being  implemented  as  a  Centrally  Sponsored Scheme (CSS) in the state over a period of 5 years, i.e., from F.Y. 2020-21 to F.Y. 2024-25 and aims at improving the assessment system in schools and ensuring equal education  for  all.  STARS  Project  supplements  the  efforts  of  Samagra  Shiksha scheme for the school education sector. It encompasses teachers and students from pre-primary to 12th standard as beneficiaries.
- (iii) The Pradhan  Mantri Schools for Rising  India  (PM-SHRI) , a Centrally Sponsored  Scheme  is  being  implemented  in  the  State.  This  scheme  has  been approved for a period of 5 years w.e.f. 2022-23 to 2026-27. Under this scheme, 734 schools  have  been  selected  in  Rajasthan  for  development  as  exemplar  schools  to showcase various components of NEP 2020.
- (iv) Pradhan Mantri Poshan Shakti Nirman (PM POSHAN) is  one  of  the  foremost rights based Centrally Sponsored Scheme implemented in partnership with the States and UTs for providing one hot cooked meal to children studying in Balvatika (preprimary classes) and classes I to VIII of Government and Government-aided schools on all school days.

(d) to (f):  The Navodaya Vidyalaya Scheme envisages for opening of one NV in each district of the country.

With sanctioning of 62 new NVs in November 2016, all 638 districts (as on 31st May, 2014) of the States/UTs which have accepted the scheme, other than 6 districts with 100% urban  population,  have  been  covered  under  this  scheme.  All  the  districts  of  Rajasthan (created up to 31.05.2014) have been covered under Navodaya Vidyalaya Scheme. Further, Government  of  India  has  recently  sanctioned  new  NVs  in  28  newly  created/  carved  out districts.

Opening of new NVs is a continuous process which depends on the willingness of the concerned  State  Government/UT  administration  to  make  available  requisite  suitable  land, free  of  cost,  for  construction  of  the  permanent  building  and  making  available  required temporary  building,  free  of  rent,  to  run  the  Vidyalaya  till  the  permanent  building  is constructed.  Sanction  and  opening  of  new  NVs  depends  on  approval  by  the  competent authority as per extant procedures
