## ANSWER

## MINISTER OF STATE IN THE MINISTRY OF EDUCATION

(SHRI JAYANT CHAUDHARY)

- (a):  The details of the amount of funds allocated and released by the Union Government under Samagra Shiksha Abhiyaan during the last five years, year and State/UT- wise is at Annexure.
- (b) & (c):   Education is in the concurrent list of the Constitution and majority of the schools are  under  the  domain  of  respective  State  and  UT  Governments.  The  Centrally  Sponsored Scheme  of  Samagra  Shiksha  is  implemented  in  partnership  with  all  the  States  and  UTs. Financial assistance is provided to all States and UTs  for various components  for implementation of the interventions under Samagra Shiksha as per norms. Accordingly, the annual  plans  under  Samagra  Shiksha  are  prepared  by  the  States  and  UTs  based  on  their requirements and priority and this is reflected in their respective Annual Work Plan and Budget (AWP&B). These plans are then appraised and approved by Project Approval Board (PAB) in consultation  with  the  States  and  UTs  as  per  the  programmatic  and  financial  norms  of  the scheme. The funds are released based on the fulfilment of conditions prescribed by Ministry of Finance such as pace of expenditure, receipt of commensurate State share, audited accounts, statement cumulative State share, statement on outstanding advances, up-to date expenditure statement, furnishing of information as prescribed.

The scheme of Samagra Shiksha has been aligned with the National Education Policy (NEP)  2020.  The  Centrally  Sponsored  Scheme  of  PM-SHRI  envisages  to  showcase  the implementation of the National Education Policy 2020 and emerge as exemplar schools over a period of time, and also offer leadership to other schools in the neighbourhood.

States and UTs are required to sign a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with the Department of School Education and Literacy (DoSE&L), Ministry of Education, Government of India, for implementation of PM SHRI scheme. However, West Bengal has not signed the PM SHRI MoU. The issue of PM SHRI MoU has been followed up with requests and repeated reminders at the level of Secretary and Union Minister. However, the State has not responded.

Since, the State is implementing Samagra Shiksha Scheme which has been aligned with NEP 2020, it would be appropriate that the State comes forward to implement and showcase all the initiatives of NEP 2020 including under PM SHRI Scheme in order to develop government schools of the State as exemplar schools to facilitate best school education services. In fact, implementation of Samagra Shiksha Scheme is implementation of NEP 2020 and PM SHRI Schools are exemplar schools of NEP 2020.
