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

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.
