- (a) & (b): Refining of crude oil is a process industry, where crude oil constitutes around 90% of the  total  cost.  Crude  oil  is  processed  through  several  processing  units.  Each  of  these  units produces intermediate products streams, which require further reprocessing and blending.  As it is difficult to apportion the total cost amongst individual refined products, product-wise costs are not identified separately.
- (c): The production cost of petroleum products mainly depends on refinery operating cost and freight cost. Operating Cost includes expenses incurred on chemicals & catalyst, Repair and Maintenance (R&M), establishment and other general administrative expenses. The measures for reduction  in  production  cost  are  mainly  directed  towards  monitoring  and  regulating  the chemicals-consumption  and  R&M  costs.    Simultaneously,  expert  agencies  of  repute  are  also assigned  on  improvement  measures,  in  the  area  of  energy  conservation  and  /  or  margin improvement.

LOK SABHA UNSTARRED QUESTION NO.1377 TO BE ANSWERED ON 07 TH  DECEMBER, 2015

## Setting up of New Universities

1377.  DR. KAMBHAMPATI HARIBABU: SHRI AJAY NISHAD: Will the Minister of HUMAN RESOURCE DEVELOPMENT be pleased to state: (a) whether the Government has relaxed the rules and regulations for setting up of new universities by the State Governments; (b) if so, the details thereof; (c) whether  the  Government  has  permitted  State  Governments  to  set  up  new Universities  despite  the  fact  that  existing  universities  are  facing  huge  financial difficulties; (d) if so, the details thereof; and (e) the norms adopted by the State Governments to set up new Universities in

- the country?

## ANSWER MINISTER OF HUMAN RESOURCE DEVELOPMENT (SMT. SMRITI ZUBIN IRANI)

(a) & (b): While State Legislatures can enact legislation to establish and incorporate Universities  such  established  Universities  have  to  comply  with  the  standards  laid down by the UGC. The standards are amended from time to time by the UGC in view of  changing  needs  in  higher  education.  Further,  under  the  Centrally  Sponsored Scheme (CSS) of 'Rashtriya Uchchatar Shiksha Abhiyan' (RUSA) strategic funding is given to States for establishing Universities by conversion of autonomous colleges or clustering  of  Colleges.  The  extant  guidelines  approved  by  the  National  Mission Authority of RUSA, lay stress on quality of candidate institutions for conversion or clustering into universities and the criteria have not been relaxed. (c) to (e): The issue of the Central Government permitting State Government to set State Universities. The Central Government through the University

- up new Universities does not arise as State Legislatures are competent to establish Grants Commission (UGC) is concerned with the maintenance of standards in education by State Universities.

The Bills for setting up of State Universities and the accompanying reasons undergo  the  scrutiny  of  State  Legislature.  The  Central  Government  has  not  laid down comprehensive norms for such legislation. Under RUSA, funding can be considered for universities created by upgrading autonomous colleges or by clustering of colleges as per RUSA norms. The respective State  Bills  for  setting  up  of  such  universities  need  to  satisfy  the  RUSA  norms  if funding under RUSA is contemplated by the State.

As  a  follow  up  to  the  NCF,  curriculum,  syllabi, text-books  and  other  supplementary  material  have  been  developed  by  NCERT. State Council of Educational Research and Training (SCERTs)  and State Education Boards either adopt or adapt NCERT's model syllabi and textbooks or develop their own syllabi and textbooks based on NCF.

(e)  The  Right  of  Children  to  Free  and  Compulsory  Education  (RTE)  Act,  2009 mandates that every child of the age of six to fourteen years shall have the right to free and compulsory education in a neighbourhood school till the completion of his or her elementary education.

- (b) if so, the details thereof, State-wise;and
- (c) the details of funds allocated, released and spent on the development and upliftment  of  areas  and  people  affected  by  mining  during  each  of  the  last three years and the current year, State-wise?

## ANSWER

## THE MINISTER OF STATE FOR MINES AND STEEL (SHRI VISHNU DEO SAI)

(a) to  (c):  The  Mines  and  Minerals  (Development  and  Regulation) Act,  1957  was amended through the MMDR Amendment Act, 2015 which was published in the Gazette of India on 27 th March, 2015. Section 9B of the MMDR Amendment Act, 2015, provides for setting up of District Mineral Foundation ( DMF ) in every district affected  by  mining  activities.  The  funds  of  DMF  are  to  flow  as  payment  from concession holders at a specified rate. Funds so collected are to be used to work for  the  interest  and  benefit  of  persons,  and  areas,  affected  by  mining  related operations.  State  Governments  are  empowered to frame rules  for  the manner  in which DMF shall work for the interest and benefit of persons and areas affected by mining as also the composition and functions of DMF.

To facilitate synergy  in implementation  of  DMF  scheme across the  States, the Government of India has also launched Pradhan Mantri Khanij Kshetra Kalyan Yojana (PMKKKY). The objective of PMKKKY scheme is (a) to implement various developmental and  welfare projects/programs in mining affected areas that complement the existing ongoing schemes/projects of State and Central Government; (b) to minimize/mitigate the adverse impacts, during and after mining, on the environment, health and socio-economics of people in mining districts; and (c)  to  ensure  long-term  sustainable  livelihoods  for  the  affected  people  in  mining areas.

The DMFs will implement the PMKKKY scheme using the funds generated by the contribution to it. The Central Government has issued a directive to the State Governments,  under  Section  20A  of  the  MMDR  Act,  1957,  laying  down  the guidelines for implementation of PMKKKY and directing the States to incorporate the same in the rules framed by them for the DMFs. The DMFs are deemed to have come  into  existence  with  effect  from  12.01.2015.  Hence  there  are  no  figures  in respect of funds allocated, released and spent by the DMFs during each of the last three years. The detail of these amounts is not maintained centrally.
