The scheme treats school education as a continuum and is in accordance with Sustainable Development Goal for Education (SDG-4). The scheme has been aligned with the recommendations of NEP 2020 to ensure that all children have access to quality education with an equitable and inclusive classroom environment which should take care of their diverse background, multilingual needs, different academic abilities and make them active participants in the learning process. Samagra Shiksha Scheme supports creation of infrastructure and basic facilities in Government Schools, both through direct programme funding and also in convergence with other relevant schemes of the Central and State Governments. State-wise approval of infrastructure facilities under Samagra Shiksha in last 3 year is attached at Annexure-I. Further, basic infrastructure facilities approved for Bulandshahr and Siddharthnagar in Uttar Pradesh, Bengaluru in Karnataka, Nabarangpur, Shimla, Jalgaon and Bharatpur Lok Sabha Constituencies are attached at Annexure-I(A). Current status of State-wise basic infrastructure facilities is available on UDISE+ portal at <http://udiseplus.gov.in/#/en/page/publications>. Under Samagra Shiksha, there is a dedicated component of Quality and Innovation with a focus on improving the learning levels of students, wherein funds are provided to states for interventions such as Learning Enhancement Programme, Youth and Eco Clubs; Holistic Progress Card; Composite School Grant for providing a conducive learning environment; Libraries; Sports and Physical Education, etc. Strengthening of teacher capacity building and quality enhancement measures under the Centrally Sponsored Scheme of Samagra Shiksha is aligned with the recommendations of the National Education Policy (NEP), 2020. ΝΕΡ 2020 recommends that teachers be given continuous opportunities for self-improvement and to learn the latest innovations and advances in their profession. The Samagra Shiksha scheme provides academic and financial support to States/UTs for continuous professional development of teachers, institutional strengthening and improvement of classroom practices. In-service teacher and teacher educators training is an integral part of Samagra Shiksha scheme. These trainings are conducted by the concerned States and UTs through State Councils of Educational Research and Training (SCERTs) and the District Institutes of Education and Training (DIETs). The details of financial approvals made under the in-service teacher training component of the Quality and Innovation intervention during the last three years are provided at Annexure–II. Initiatives such as National Initiative for School Heads’ and Teachers’ Holistic Advancement (NISHTHA), Digital Infrastructure for Knowledge Sharing (DIKSHA), Integrated Teacher Education Program (ITEP- Pre-service teacher training) are also being taken for teachers' capacity building and quality enhancement measures aligned with the National Education Policy, 2020. National Mission for Mentoring (NMM), as envisaged in para 15.11 of NEP 2020, conceptualizes the creation of a large pool of outstanding professionals willing to provide mentoring to school teachers. These potential mentors, regardless of age or position, will contributetowards realizing 21st century developmental goals of our nation. NMM underlines the importance of short and long-term mentoring/professional support. It brings an opportunity to leverage cross- learning amongst different individuals leading to their continuous professional development. Mentors empower school teachers to reach their full potential, improve their teaching practices, knowledge skills and attitude to positively impact student learning outcomes. National Professional Standards for Teachers (NPST), as envisaged in Para 5.20 of NEP 2020, focuses to improve the teachers’ personal and professional development by providing them an understanding of what is expected in terms of their performance and what needs to be done to enhance the same. The Government of India has taken several measures to strengthen accountability mechanisms for teachers and school administrators in achieving better learning outcomes including Bulandshahr. A key initiative in this regard is the establishment of the National Assessment Centre, PARAKH, which serves as a central body for setting standards, conducting large-scale assessments, and providing evidence-based policy recommendations to improve the quality of education. PARAKH plays a crucial role in developing standardized assessment frameworks, ensuring consistency in evaluation across different education boards, and promoting competency-based assessments aligned with the National Education Policy (NEP) 2020. Additionally, the introduction of the Holistic Progress Card (HPC) has transformed student assessment by providing a 360-degree evaluation of learners, focusing on cognitive, socio-emotional, and skill-based development rather than just academic performance. To improve the Learning Outcomes at Foundational Stage (3 years of Balvatika and Grades 1 & 2), the National Curricular Framework for Foundational Stage (NCF-FS) was released on 20th October, 2022 providing a structure for the syllabus, Training of Teachers, Learning Teaching Material (LTM), etc. Accordingly, Jaadui Pitara for Balvatika (3 years of pre-school) and Books for Grades 1 & 2 have been provided by NCERT for use by States/UTs. To improve learning outcomes among primary school students, a National Mission called “National Initiative for Proficiency in Reading with Understanding and Numeracy (NIPUN Bharat)” has been launched on 5th July, 2021 to ensure that every child in the country attains foundational literacy and numeracy by the end of Grade 2. Keeping holistic development in mind, a 3 months play based ‘School Preparation Module and Guidelines’ for Grade I named ‘Vidya Pravesh’ was launched on 29th July, 2021. PARAKH Rashtriya Sarvekshan (PRS) 2024 (formerly National Achievement Survey) was conducted by the National Assessment Centre-PARAKH, NCERT under the aegis of the Department of School Education & Literacy, Ministry of Education to measure the baseline performance under the National Education Policy (NEP) 2020 in development of competencies among students at the end of the Foundational, Preparatory and Middle Stages (Grades 3, 6 and 9 respectively) of schooling. At the foundational level (assessed in Grade 3), the scores for Language and Mathematics from PARAKH Rashtriya Sarvekshan (PRS) 2024 highlight significant improvement when compared to National Achievement Survey (NAS) 2021, thereby, indicating early gains from the NIPUN Bharat Mission launched under the flagship Samagra Shiksha scheme in 2021.National, State and District level report cards for PARAKH Rashtriya Sarvekshan 2024 providing insights on variation in learning outcomes, achievement of stage-specific competencies and suggested interventions to improve low-performing competencies, are available at https://dashboard.parakh.ncert.gov.in/en, a dedicated dashboard designed to disseminate the findings of the assessment.

In Malkangiri District- 16 hostels of total 1300 capacity (100 bedded) have been sanctioned under another scheme of MoTA named Pradhan Mantri Janjati Adivasi Nyaya Maha Abhiyan (PM JANMAN) with the total NR cost Rs. 4130 Lakhs. State-wise number of Hostels approved under PM JANMAN is attached at Annexure-V and Hostls approved under DAJGUA programs during last 3 years (2023-24 to 2025-26) are attached at Annexure-V(A). (d) & (e): Under Samagra Shiksha preference is given under the scheme to Educationally Backward Blocks (EBBs), LWEs, Border areas and aspirational districts, etc. Accordingly, different interventions are approved on a priority basis in these districts to improve access and quality of education. Annual work Plan and Budget (AWP&B) is prepared by the State/UT based on their requirements and priorities at the beginning of every year. The proposal of State/UT having various activities/components are appraised and approved by Project Approval Board (PAB) in consultation with the State as per the programmatic & financial norms of the scheme. Release of Central share of funds is done in instalments depending on the financial progress of utilization of funds released earlier, incentivising the State/UTs to utilize more funds. The cost of construction works in Hilly and Remote region is comparatively higher due to difficult terrain, limited availability of construction materials, higher transportation cost, and logistical challenges. As per Samagra Shiksha norms, while calculating unit cost of activities the rates are taken as per specified standards and State Schedule of Rates (SSOR) or CPWD Rates, whichever is lower, thus incorporating the variation of cost.Support is also provided under Samagra Shiksha for reaching out to children in sparsely populated, or hilly and remote regions, including densely forested areas with difficult geographical terrain and border areas, through the following specific provisions: • Favourable Funding Pattern: While the standard Centre-State funding ratio is 60:40, it is relaxed to 90:10 for the 8 North-Eastern States and 3 Himalayan States (Himachal Pradesh, Uttarakhand, and Jammu & Kashmir), ensuring the central government bears the bulk of the financial burden. • Residential schools/Hostel: In areas where building a school is unviable due to sparse population or extreme terrain, the scheme provides for Netaji Subhash Chandra Bose Avasiya Vidyalayas i.e., Residential Schools/Hostels. In addition, expanded hostel facilities for tribal students are provided under the umbrella of the Samagra Shiksha under the PM JANMAN and DAJGUA scheme. • Transport and Escort Facility: For children in remote habitations, the scheme provides a transport allowance of up to ₹6,000 per child per annum up to grade 10 to ensure they can reach schools safely. • Residential Quarters for Teachers: To ensure teacher retention in remote and difficult areas, the scheme provides financial support for the construction of staff quarters. ***ANNEXURE-I ANNEXURE REFERRED TO IN REPLY TO PART (a) & (b) OF LOK SABHA STARRED QUESTION NO. 225 ANSWERED ON 9TH MARCH, 2026 ASKED BY HON’BLE MPs SHRI ALOK SHARMA AND SHRI BALABHADRA MAJHI REGARDING INFRASTRUCTURE DEVELOPMENT UNDER SAMAGRA SHIKSHA ABHIYAN Basic Infrastructure Facilities approved during the last three years Labs Drinki Additional Boys Girls Major (Phy, S.NO State/UT ng Ramps Electricity Library Classrooms Toilets Toilets Repair Ch, water Bio, Sci) 1 A & N Islands 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 0 8 2 Andhra Pradesh 216 173 0 0 298 81 115 389 557 3 Arunachal 0 226 233 273 0 0 34 173 109 Pradesh 4 Assam 12 3192 1221 856 1016 0 0 1186 2051 5 Bihar 1854 6615 6022 7041 213 191 12 0 14593 6 Chandigarh 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 7 Chhattisgarh 70 1148 568 414 43 0 60 494 76 8 DND & DNH 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 68 0 9 Delhi 0 9 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 10 Goa 0 0 0 0 4 0 0 0 0 11 Gujarat 0 732 252 217 0 0 3 292 4 12 Haryana 0 1695 0 0 0 0 168 0 986 13 Himachal 1 189 74 50 6 67 235 354 268 Pradesh 14 Jammu & 45 2824 1094 1135 65 13 147 610 391 Kashmir 15 Jharkhand 262 965 398 249 0 0 1 1229 866 16 Karnataka 67 0 245 73 0 200 0 399 347 17 Kerala 69 0 422 496 150 69 0 110 61 18 Ladakh 59 125 89 90 32 96 10 114 4 19 Lakshadweep 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 20 Madhya 153 976 490 506 21 5060 168 1590 1215 Pradesh 21 Maharashtra 0 99 1061 716 0 0 45 482 535 22 Manipur 111 186 230 228 0 0 32 167 88 23 Meghalaya 410 18 102 143 389 100 0 66 0 24 Mizoram 30 15 12 11 223 92 3 20 20 25 Nagaland 0 24 16 18 0 10 0 59 65 26 Odisha 237 1360 2172 1360 799 1673 0 1 344 27 Puducherry 0 4 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 28 Punjab 0 1960 1797 1969 0 0 167 704 317 29 Rajasthan 495 1242 68 349 0 0 872 40 3430 30 Sikkim 5 4 141 133 116 5 0 71 11 31 Tamil Nādu 0 107 0 549 274 0 0 1003 0 32 Telangana 0 209 0 0 0 0 0 0 598 33 Tripura 0 301 186 285 578 50 33 202 113 34 Uttarakhand 0 338 242 273 0 48 38 506 357 35 Uttar Pradesh 332 5412 48 51 34 0 9 1688 8 36 West Bengal 0 812 99 0 0 0 0 1341 4300 Total 4428 30960 17282 17485 4261 7755 2153 13358 31722 Source:PRABANDHANNEXURE-I(A) ANNEXURE REFERRED TO IN REPLY TO PART (a) to (b) OF LOK SABHA STARRED QUESTION NO. 225 ANSWERED ON 9TH MARCH, 2026 ASKED BY HON’BLE MPs SHRI ALOK SHARMA AND SHRI BALABHADRA MAJHI REGARDING INFRASTRUCTURE DEVELOPMENT UNDER SAMAGRA SHIKSHA ABHIYAN Basic infrastructure facilities approved for Bulandshahr and Siddharthnagar in Uttar Pradesh, Bengaluru in Karnataka, Nabarangpur, Shimla, Jalgaon and Bharatpur Lok Sabha Constituencies New Scho Labs Additio Boy Girl CWS ol Drinki (Physic, nal s s N Electrificat Library Major Districts (Sr. ng Che, Classro Toil Toil Ram ion room Repairs Seco Water Bio, om et et ps ndar Sci.) y) Bengaluru 1 - - - - - - - - 14 Bharatpur - 9 85 3 10 - - 35 - 71 Bulandshahr 1 12 64 - 1 - - - 8 - Jalgaon - - 1 18 21 - - - 3 7 Nabarangpur 17 - 104 50 37 21 142 - - 15 Shimla - - 20 14 7 - 23 33 53 16 Siddharthnagar 1 4 209 1 1 - - - 85 - Source: PRABANDHANNEXURE-II ANNEXURE REFERRED TO IN REPLY TO PART (a) & (b) OF LOK SABHA STARRED QUESTION NO. 225 ANSWERED ON 9TH MARCH, 2026 ASKED BY HON’BLE MPs SHRI ALOK SHARMA AND SHRI BALABHADRA MAJHI REGARDING INFRASTRUCTURE DEVELOPMENT UNDER SAMAGRA SHIKSHA ABHIYAN Financial approvals made under the in-service teacher training component of the Quality and Innovation intervention during the last three years (₹) In Lakh Approved S.No. State/UT 2023-24* 2024-25 2025-26 1.
