Will  the  Minister  of  HUMAN  RESOURCE  DEVELOPMENT  be  pleased  to state:

- (a)  whether  various  initiatives  of  the  Government  including  Sarva  Shiksha  Abhiyan (SSA)  as  well  as  the  Right  to  Education  Act,  2009  have  been  able  to  decrease  the number of out-of-school children in the country and if so, the details thereof, State/UTwise;
- (b) the details of funds allocated/release for implementation of SSA and RTE during the last three years, year-wise and State-wise; and
- (c) the State which was the best and which was worst in implementing SSA and RTE act during the last three years?

## ANSWER MINISTER OF HUMAN RESOURCE DEVELOPMENT

## (SHRI PRAKASH JAVADEKAR)

(a):  Ministry  of  Human  Resource  Development  had  commissioned  independent surveys to track out of school children in the age group of 6 to 13 years. These surveys have shown a gradual reduction in the number of out of school children. In the year 2005, 134.59 lakh children were estimated to be out of school, which came down to 81.50 lakh in 2009 and to 60.64 lakh in 2014. State/UT-wise details of out of school children are at Annexure-I.

(b): State-wise details of funds allocated/released for implementation of Sarva Shiksha Abhiyan (SSA) and Right of Children to Free and Compulsory Education (RTE) Act, 2009 during the last three years is at Annexure-II.

(c):  Performance  of  the  States/UTs  regarding  implementation  of  SSA  is  reviewed periodically through existing mechanisms  of periodic reviews, workshops and Quarterly  Progress  Reports.  Additionally,  Joint  Review  Missions  comprising  of experts,  senior  policy  makers  and  the  other  stakeholders  regularly  visit  States  to monitor  the  work  being  done  under  SSA  and  to  ensure  that  funds  are  spent  for  the intended purpose. States/UTs have performed differently on different indicators under SSA  over  the  last  fifteen  years.  There  is  no  formal  ranking  system  for  States/UTs under SSA as such.
