## MINISTER OF STATE IN THE MINISTRY OF EDUCATION (SHRI JAYANT CHAUDHARY)

- (a)  to  (d):  The  Department  of  School  Education  and  Literacy  is  implementing  an integrated centrally sponsored scheme for School education- Samagra Shiksha in the country from 2018-19, which subsumes the three erstwhile Centrally Sponsored Schemes of Sarva Shiksha Abhiyan (SSA), Rashtriya Madhyamik Shiksha Abhiyan (RMSA) and Teacher Education (TE).  Samagra Shiksha treats school education holistically,  in  a  continuum  from  pre-primary  to  class  XII  and  is  aligned  with  the recommendations of the National Education Policy (NEP) 2020. It aims 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. Under Samagra Shiksha, financial assistance is provided to States and UTs for providing various facilities to the children for implementing the Right of Children to Free and Compulsory Education (RTE) Act, 2009 as also for implementation of various provisions of Samagra Shiksha Scheme. Under  Samagra  Shiksha  all  States  and  UTs  submit  their  proposals  for  all interventions  contained  in  the  scheme  through  their  Annual Work Plan  &  Budget (AWP&B).  The  proposals  are  appraised  and  approved  by  the  Project  Approval State/UT government and funds are allocated accordingly, as per norms. The funds, under the scheme of Samagra Shiksha, are released based on the fulfillment of guidelines

Board (PAB) in the Ministry in consultation with the respective prescribed by Ministry of Finance.
