The allocation of central share to States/UTs under Samagra Shiksha are made as per the Budget Provision, intervention-wise releases are not made.

Section 6 of the RTE Act mandates that the appropriate Government (the State Government for State and UT Government for the Union territory having legislature) and local authority must establish a school within a prescribed area or neighbourhood within three years from thecommencement of the Act. Section 7(1) stipulates that the Central Government and the State Governments shall have concurrent responsibility for providing funds for carrying out the provisions of this Act. Section 7(5) unambiguously states that the State government shall, taking into consideration the sums provided by the Central Government to a State Government under sub-section (3), and its other resources, be responsible to provide funds for implementation of the provisions of the Act. The fund sharing pattern for the scheme between Centre and States is at present in the ratio of 90:10 for the 8 North-Eastern States viz. Arunachal Pradesh, Assam, Manipur, Meghalaya, Mizoram, Nagaland, Sikkim and Tripura and 3 Himalayan States/UTs viz. Jammu &Kashmir, Himachal Pradesh and Uttarakhand and 60:40 for all other States and Union Territories with Legislature (except J&K). It is 100% centrally sponsored for Union Territories without Legislature.

The National Education Policy (NEP) 2020 has been launched on 29.07.2020 after detailed consultation process with all stakeholders including Gram Panchayats, Blocks, Urban Local Bodies, Districts and States/Union Territories Governments, Hon'ble Members of Parliament, public etc. As per Para no. 27.1 of 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. Accordingly, Ministry of Education, State Governments, education-related Ministries, the regulatory and implementing bodies of school and higher education such as University Grants Commission, All India Council for Technical Education, National Council for Teacher Education, National Council of Educational Research and Training, Central Board of Secondary Education, Universities/Colleges/Schools etc. have taken several initiatives for implementation of NEP 2020.

Further, Education is in the concurrent list of the constitution and majority of the schools are under the administrative domain of the respective State and UT Government. Therefore, the major responsibility of implementation of NEP 2020 following prescribed norms and standards falls under the domain of the respective States and UT Governments.
