(SHRI RAMESH POKHRIYAL 'NISHANK')
(a) to (c) Department of School Education & Literacy, Ministry of Education is implementing the Samagra Shiksha scheme. Bridging Gender and Social category gaps at all levels of school education is one of the major objectives of the scheme. Samagra Shiksha reaches out to children belonging to Socio-Economic Disadvantaged groups including Scheduled Caste (SC) and Scheduled Tribe (ST).
For providing universal access to quality secondary education, the neighbourhood norms notified by the state/UT are applicable for opening of new Secondary schools. In the case of the States and Union Territories, which have not notified the neighbourhood norms for Secondary Schools, Samagra Shiksha provides support for access to secondary schools within a distance of 5 Km of a habitation while ensuring their viability and cost effectiveness.
