(b) The State/UT/KVS/NVS/NCERT-wise amount of funds sanctioned along with the number of schools benefited under the PM SHRI scheme including Rajasthan and Bihar is attached as Annexure-I .

- (c) & (d): As  per  National  Education  Policy  2020,  implementation  of  the  policy requires multiple initiatives and actions, which will have to be taken by multiple bodies in a synchronized and systematic manner. NEP 2020 provides different timelines as well as principles and methodology for its implementation. It also envisions operationalization of the entire policy in the decade of 2030-40, following which another comprehensive review will  be  undertaken.  Education  is  in  the  concurrent  list  of  the  Constitution.  Majority  of schools  are  managed  by  respective  State/UT  Governments.  The  Ministry  of  Education takes necessary steps to support States in implementing NEP 2020.
- (e): Under the PM SHRI scheme, a total of 13,076 schools have been selected from 33 States/UTs  along  with  KVS,  NVS,  and  NCERT.  The  State/UT-wise  number  of  schools selected including Rajasthan and Bihar, district-wise under PM SHRI scheme is attached as Annexure-II .
- (f): The  criteria  adopted  by  the  Government  for  selecting  the  schools  under  the  PM SHRI scheme are provided under 'Selection Methodology (Page no. 13-22)' of the PM SHRI Framework, available at the link: https://pmshri.education.gov.in/assets/pdf/part1\_pmshri.pdf.
- (g): The following steps have been taken to monitor timely completion of infrastructure and quality benchmarks in the PM SHRI schools:
- i. Monitoring of expenditure through a separate PRABANDH Portal (https://prabandh.education.gov.in/pmshri/) developed by NIC, enabling monitoring of utilisation and outcomes under various components approved by PAB.
- ii. Conduct of regular monthly reviews with States/UTs to assess progress.
- iii. A dedicated PM SHRI schools activities portal (https://pmshri.education.gov.in/sqaf/activities) has been developed to capture realtime data from schools, including student-level outcomes, infrastructure readiness, component-wise saturation, and progress on key indicators.
- iv. A School Quality Assessment Framework (SQAF) has been developed as per the recommendations of National Education Policy (NEP), 2020, indicating the level of proficiency  to  be  achieved  by  each  PM  SHRI  school.  SQAF  is  divided  into  six main domains, based on the six pillars of the PM SHRI scheme.
- v. Field  visits  by  officials  of  the  department  for  on-ground  monitoring  of  the  PM SHRI schools under the scheme.
