## ANSWER

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

(a) & (b): Education is in the concurrent list of the Constitution and majority of the schools are under the domain of respective State and UT Governments. Under the Centrally Sponsored Scheme of Samagra Shiksha, States and UTs are supported for strengthening of existing government schools and for creation and augmentation of infrastructure facilities, including construction of toilets , based on the gaps determined from Unified District Information System for Education (UDISE) database and  proposals  received  from  respective  State/UT.  The  requirement  of  infrastructural  facilities  in schools,  including  toilets  are  worked  out  every  year  by  the  respective  State/Union  Territory depending on their need and priority and reflected in their 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.

As per mandate of NEP-2020, the Government of India is taking targeted and saturation approach in providing basic infrastructure facilities including toilets. The detailed UDISE+ report can be accessed on  the  weblink:  https://udiseplus.gov.in/#/en/page/publications.  State-wise  number  of  toilets  in primary, upper primary and secondary school in the country is attached at Annexure-I.

Total  number of toilets  (Boys,  Girls  &  CWSN)  constructed under Samagra Shiksha Scheme from 2018-19 to 2025-26 is at Annexure-II.

(c) & (d): District-wise list of number of schools having functional toilets and total number of toilets in the State of Rajasthan as per UDISE+ 2024-25 is attached at Annexure-III.
