## ANSWER

## MINISTER OF STATE IN THE MINISTRY OF HUMAN RESOURCE DEVELOPMENT (SHRI UPENDRA KUSHWAHA)

(a) to (f) The Centrally Sponsored Scheme of Model School Scheme envisaged setting up of one model school per block as a benchmark of excellence at the block level. The scheme had two modes of implementation, viz. (i) setting up of schools in educationally backward blocks (EBBs)  through  State/UT  Governments,  and  (ii)  establishing  schools  under  Public-Private Partnership (PPP) mode in blocks which are not educationally  backward. The State/UT wise details  of  fund  released  under  the  scheme  during  the  last  three  years  are  given  at  Annexure. However, the scheme has been delinked from the support of the Government of India with effect from 2015-16 and stands transferred to States/UTs in the light of higher devolution of funds to the States as recommended by the 14 th Finance Commission.
