## ANSWER

## MINISTER OF STATE IN THE MINISTRY OF EDUCATION

(SHRI JAYANT CHAUDHARY)

- (a):  The State-wise details of Central share funds allocated and released is at Annexure-I.

The details of development of infrastructure such as additional classrooms, laboratories, libraries and ICT facilities in Government schools under Samagra Shiksha for last 3 years is at Annexure-II .

(b): Samagra Shiksha scheme has been envisaged as an additional support to the State and UTs to improve quality of education. However, education being in the concurrent list with majority of the  schools  under  the  domain  of  the  State  and  UTs,  the  primary  responsibility  of  providing accessible, affordable, equitable, inclusive and  quality education lies with the  State/UT Governments. Preference in the interventions is given to Educationally Backward Blocks (EBBs), LWE affected districts, Special Focus Districts (SFDs), Border areas and the Aspirational districts. The current scheme was approved for the period of 2021-22 to 2025-26. Restructuring of the scheme for the period of 2026-27 to 2031-2032 is under consideration. Government of India, in the  Budget  2025,  has  announced  provision  of  broadband  connectivity  to  all  Government Secondary schools in rural areas under the 'BharatNet' project to enhance digital infrastructure in remote areas by BSNL in a phased manner.

(c)  &  (d):    Under  the  centrally  sponsored  scheme  of  Samagra  Shiksha,  financial  assistance  is provided to the States and UTs for Universalization of School Education including opening/strengthening  of  new  schools  up  to  senior  secondary  level,  construction  of  school buildings & additional classrooms, development/strengthening of school infrastructure in northern border areas under Vibrant Village Programme, setting up, up-gradation and running of Kasturba Gandhi Balika Vidyalayas, construction of hostels for PVTGs under PM-JANMAN, setting up of Netaji  Subhash  Chandra  Bose  AvasiyaVidyalayas,  construction  of  hostels  under  Dharti  Aaba Janjatiya Gram Utkarsh Abhiyan for unsaturated ST population, reimbursement under RTE Act, various qualitative components,  strengthening  of  teacher  education and  strengthening  of DIETs/BRCs/CRCs, provision of ICT and digital interventions.

Further, Department of School Education & Literacy sponsors Pradhan Mantri Schools for Rising  India  (PM  SHRI).  It  is  a  Centrally  Sponsored  Scheme  in  which  schools  are  set  up  by strengthening the existing schools from amongst schools managed by Central Government/State/UT Government/local bodies. These schools are to showcase all the initiatives of National Education Policy (NEP) 2020, be the exemplar schools, and also offer benchmarking leadership to other schools in the neighbourhood. Till date, 13091 schools have been selected as PM SHRI schools in the country.

The skill Education component under Samagra Shiksha provides for giving exposure to Vocational Education to students of Grades VI to VIII and introduction of vocational courses from Grades IX to XII, which are aligned with the National Skills Qualifications Framework (NSQF) notified by the Government of India in 2013. The NSQF is a nationally integrated education and competency-based  framework  and  organizes  qualifications  according  to  a  series  of  levels  of knowledge, skills, and aptitude. The government provides financial and infrastructural support through  the  Samagra  Shiksha  scheme  and  the  Hub  and  Spoke  Model.  This  model  maximizes resource  efficiency  by  allowing  "Spoke"  schools  to  utilize  the  high-quality  laboratories  and equipment available at "Hub" centers, such as ITIs, Polytechnics, or specialized PM SHRI schools.

Digital content has been made available to teachers and students through a platform called Digital Infrastructure for Knowledge Sharing (DIKSHA). It is the Nation's digital infrastructure for  providing  quality  e-content  for  school  education  in  States/UTs  and  QR  coded  Energised Textbooks (ETBs) for all grades (One Nation, One Digital platform).

The  National  Education  Policy  (NEP)  2020  emphasises  the  importance  of  Artificial Intelligence  (AI)  and  its  role  in  school  curriculum.  Under  'Curricular  Integration  of  Essential Subjects, Skills, and Capacities', the policy mentions in para 4.24 that concerted curricular and pedagogical  initiatives,  including  the  introduction  of  contemporary  subjects  such  as  Artificial Intelligence, Design Thinking, Holistic Health, Organic Living, Environmental Education, Global Citizenship Education (GCED), etc. at relevant stages will be undertaken to develop these various important  skills  in  students  at  all  levels.  The  Ministry  of  Education,  Government  of  India implements ICT and Digital initiatives under Samagra Shiksha, aligned with NEP 2020. These initiatives aim to enhance the quality of education by integrating technology into learning and teaching processes. Under Samagra Shiksha, funding is provided for setting up of ICT labs in Schools  and  Teacher  Education  Institutions  (TEIs).  To  facilitate  online  learning  for  all,  a comprehensive  initiative  called  'PM  eVidya'  was  initiated  as  part  of  'Atma  Nirbhar  Bharat Abhiyaan' on 17th May, 2020, which unifies all efforts related to digital/online/on-air education to enable multi-mode access to education across the country.

The key components of PM eVidya are also aligned towards enhancing digital literacy and include 200 DTH TV channels. These channels were launched on 9th March 2024 by Hon'ble Education  Minister  and  now  expanded  to  200  PM  eVidya  DTH  TV  channels  and  400  Radio channels to enable all States/UTs to provide supplementary education in various Indian languages for  classes  1-12.  The  channels  have been allocated to the States/UTs and Autonomous Bodies under an MoU with NCERT and are operational.

(e): Department of School Education & Literacy has developed Performance Grading Index, State (PGI) by combining 73 indicators from various domains of school education viz., learning outcomes, access outcomes, infrastructure, facilities, equity outcomes, etc. The PGI-State reports for the year from 2017-18 to 2023-24 can be accessed at https://pgi.udiseplus.gov.in/#/statepgi/home

'PARAKH Rashtriya Sarvekshan 2024' was conducted across India on 04.12.2024, to understand the baseline performance in development of competencies among the students at the end  of  the  Foundational,  Preparatory,  and  Middle  stages  (Grades  3,  6,  and  9  respectively). National,  State  and  District  level  report  cards  for  PARAKH  Rashtriya  Sarvekshan  2024  are available at https://dashboard.parakh.ncert.gov.in/en.
