## ANSWER

## MINISTER OF STATE IN THE MINISTRY OF EDUCATION

## (SHRI JAYANT CHAUDHARY)

(a) to (c), (e) to (f): As per information provided by the Rajasthan Government, the districtwise  details  of  number  of  Government  primary,  upper  primary,  secondary  and  higher secondary schools currently running in Rajasthan State is at Annexure-I.

The details of Government schools upgraded by the State Government during the last three years is at Annexure-II .

The  details  of  Government  schools  opened,  closed  and  merged  by  the  State  Government during the last three years is at Annexure-III and Annexure-IV.

Education being a subject in the Concurrent List of the Constitution, majority of the schools in the country comes under the administrative control of States/UTs. The recruitment, service conditions  and  rational  deployment  of  teachers  come  under  the  purview  of  the  respective

State  Governments/UT  Administrations.  The  details  of  the  vacancies  of  the  teachers  in schools are maintained by respective States/Union Territory Administrations. Recruitment is a continuous process and vacancies arise due to a number of factors like retirement, resignation, increased  requirement  of  teachers  because  of  the  enhanced  students'  strength,  etc.  The Government also requests States/UTs to fill vacant posts of teachers, from time to time, to ensure  timely  recruitment  of  teachers  by  adopting  a  transparent  and  merit-based  process through autonomous teacher recruitment boards. The progress regarding filling up of teacher vacancies  through  a  competitive  selection  examination  conducted  by  States/UTs,  with  due care  for  consistency  and  sanctity  and  after  a  technology  based  comprehensive  teacher requirement  planning  and  forecasting  exercise,  is  periodically  reviewed  through  regular meetings with States/UTs as well as through advisories. The State Government has informed that sanctions of posts of teachers in new schools has been done.

(d): As  per  AISHE  2021-22  report,  the  total  number  of  Private  and  Government degree colleges in Rajasthan is 3521 and total Universities is 90 including Barmer-Jaisalmer regions.  Currently,  there  is  one  Central  University  of  Rajasthan  where  sanction  faculty position is 248 and the vacant faculty position is 70. The recruitment powers vests with the respective  State  Government  and  no  active  role  of  the  Ministry  is  involved  therein. Occurring of vacancies and filling thereof is a continuous process. The vacancies arise due to promotion, retirement,  resignation,  death,  opening  of  new  institutions,  schemes  or  projects, and  additional  requirements  on  account  of  enhanced  students'  strength  and  expansion  of capacity in existing institutions.
