## ANSWER

## MINISTER OF STATE IN THE MINISTRY OF EDUCATION

## (SHRI JAYANT CHAUDHARY)

(a)  to  (d):    The  Department  of  School  Education  &  Literacy  is  implementing  the  Centrally Sponsored Scheme of Samagra Shiksha 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.

Details  of  Central  share  released  and  fund  utilized  by  State  /  UTs  under  Samagra Shiksha from 2020-21 to 2025-26 is at Annexure .

Under Samagra Shiksha, funds are released to the States/UTs based on  the pace of expenditure, receipt of commensurate state share, audited accounts, statement on outstanding advances, up-to date expenditure statement, audited utilization certificate of previous year and furnishing of requisite information as prescribed by Ministry of Finance and the Manual on Financial  Management  &  Procurement  of  the  Scheme.  The  allocation  of  central  share  to States/UTs under Samagra Shiksha are made as per the Annual Work Plan & Budget (AWP&B) submitted by the State. The proposals are appraised and approved by the Project Approval Board (PAB) in the Ministry in consultation with the respective State/UT government.

This  Department  has  launched  a  comprehensive  online  monitoring  system  called PRABANDH (Project Appraisal, Budgeting Achievements and Data Handling). The system enables Ministry of Education and States & UTs to monitor the releases and expenditure besides viewing approved outlays and other scheme related information. Regular follow ups and review meetings  are  held  with  the  States/UTs  ensuring  an  integrated  approach  for  monitoring  and smooth implementation of the scheme.

Further, Education is a subject in the concurrent list of the Constitution and majority of the  schools  and  teachers  in  the  country  are  under  the  administrative  control  of  the  State Governments and UT Administrations. The States/UTs play pivotal role in conceptualization, implementation and realization of such schemes at the grass root level. The NEP, 2020 has laid down the broad framework and finer contours of Education at all levels and facets.
