Accordingly, the annual plans under Samagra Shiksha are prepared by the States and UTs based on their requirements and priority and this is reflected in their respective Annual Work Plan and Budget (AWP&B). These plans are then appraised and approved by Project Approval Board (PAB) in consultation with the States and UTs as per the programmatic and financial norms of the scheme and the guidelines issued by the Ministry of Finance from time to time. Funds are allocated to the State/UTs for implementation of various interventions as per the approved AWP&B of the States/UTs. The expenditure of funds lies within the purview of the State/UT governments based on their requirement as per their priority.
