(a)  &  (b):  Yes  Sir.  The  Department  of  School  Education  &  Literacy,  Ministry  of  Education  is implementing Samagra Shiksha from 2018-19 to support States and UTs for strengthening of  existing government  schools  and  for  creation  and  augmentation  of  infrastructure  facilities, including  the component of major repair, based on the gaps determined from Unified District Information System for Education (UDISE+) and proposals received from respective State/UT. The need for schools and also the infrastructural facilities in schools are worked out every year by the respective State/Union Territory on incremental basis depending on their need and priority and reflected in their Annual Work Plan & Budget (AWP&B). These plans are then appraised and approved/estimated by the Project Approval Board (PAB) in the Department of School Education & Literacy in consultation with the States and UTs.

The details of Central Share allocated to Maharashtra, Odisha, Tamil Nadu and Andaman and Nicobar Islands for carrying out major repair works in schools during the last three years and in the current year upto June, 2023 is at Annexure-I .

(c): The details of repair work carried out and infrastructure facilities augmented in Odisha, Tamil Nadu, Maharashtra and Andaman and Nicobar Islands under Samagra Shiksha is at Annexure-II .

(d) & (e): The State wise details of toilets constructed in schools under the Swachh Vidyalaya Initiative and status of completion is at Annexure-III .

- (f):  The  State/UT  wise  status  of  construction  of  separate  toilets  for  girls  in  schools  under  Samagra Shiksha is at Annexure-IV.
- (g): Education is in the Concurrent list of Constitution and most of the schools come under jurisdiction of concerned States and UTs. State and UT Governments are the appropriate Governments under the Right of Children to Free and Compulsory Education (RTE) Act, 2009, and have the responsibility and mandate to provide school infrastructure in schools in accordance with the norms laid down in the Schedule to the RTE Act, 2009 and as per respective State RTE Rules.

The States/UTs have been repeatedly advised in various forums including Project Approval Board (PAB) meeting, review PABs for filling up the gaps in school infrastructure and ensure that all the schools in their  jurisdiction  have  provision  for  separate  toilets  for  boys  and  girls  and  safe  and  adequate  drinking water  facilities  for  all  children.  The  States/UTs  have  also  been  requested  to  converge  the  various components of Samagra Shiksha with the schemes of other Ministries for filling up the gaps in school infrastructure.

The  Department  of  School  Education  &  Literacy  has  approved  a  project  on  Rejuvenation  of  Basic Infrastructure  and  overall  cleanliness  in  Government  schools  in  approximately  1.20  lakh  Government schools  across  the  country  with  an  overall  budget  estimate  of  Rs.  4590  crore  under  Samagra  Shiksha scheme.  The  interventions covered  under  the project are major/minor  repairs, functional toilets (boys/girls), electricity connections, functional drinking water facility and boundary walls. The objective is to fill up infrastructure gaps in government schools across the country through Samagra Shiksha and convergence with all relevant schemes of Government of India. Further, a joint advisory to all States/UTs has been issued on 19.12.2022 by NITI Aayog, Ministry of Education, Ministry of Rural Development, Ministry  of  Panchayati  Raj  and  Ministry  of  Jal  Shakti  regarding  rejuvenation  of  basic  infrastructure including improved sanitation facilities and provision of safe drinking water in schools.
