Introduction to Government Schemes INTRODUCTION TO GOVERNMENT SCHEMES Restructuring of Government Schemes: NITI Aayog appointed a Sub Group of Chief Ministers on Rationalisation of Centrally Sponsored Schemes under the Chairmanship of CM of MP for the restructuring of Centrally Government Schemes. Recommendations of the sub-group are: • Number of Schemes: The total number of Centrally Sponsored Schemes should not exceed 30. • Categorisation of Schemes: Existing CSSs should be divided into Core and Optional Schemes. ο Core schemes: Focus of CSSs should be on schemes that comprise the National Development Agenda where the Centre and States will work together in the spirit of Team India. ο Core of the Core Schemes: Those schemes which are for social protection and social inclusion should form the core of core and be the first charge on available funds for the National Development Agenda. ο Optional Schemes: The Schemes where States would be free to choose the ones they wish to implement. Funds for these schemes would be allocated to States by the Ministry of Finance as a lump sum. • Funding Pattern: ο Core of Core Schemes: Existing funding pattern of the core of core schemes would continue. ο Core Schemes: . For 8 North Eastern States and 3 Himalayan States: Centre: State: 90:10 . For other States: Centre: State: 60:40 . For Union Territories (without Legislature): Centre 100% and for UTs with legislature existing funding pattern would continue. ο Optional Schemes: a) For 8 North Eastern States and 3 Himalayan States: Centre: State: 80:20 b) For other States: Centre: State: 50:50 c) For Union Territories: (i) (without Legislature) - Centre 100% (ii) Union Territories with Legislature: Centre: UT:80:20. Flexibility and flexifunds to the States/UTs a. While designing the CSS, the Central Ministries shall permit flexibility in the choice of components to the States as available under the Rashtriya Krishi Vikaas Yojana (RKVY). b. Moreover, the flexi-funds available in each CSS has been raised from the current level of 10% to 25% for the States and 30% for the UTs of the overall annual allocation under each Scheme so that the implementation can be better attuned to the needs of individual State /UT. ►CENTRALLY SPONSORED SCHEMES ►CENTRAL SECTOR SCHEMES Funding by both centre and state in pre-determined ratio Funding entirely borne by centre Government such as 90:10, 70:30, 60:40 etc Normally formulated on subjects placed under the State List Normally formulated on subjects placed under the Union List.

  • Position Paper on SC & ST Final 6 May 05
    Position Paper National Focus Group on Problems of Scheduled Caste and Scheduled Tribe Children Introduction This position paper critically examines the contemporary reality of schooling of children belonging to Scheduled Caste and Scheduled Tribe communities who have been historically excluded from formal education – the former due to their oppression under caste feudal society and the latter due to their spatial isolation and cultural difference and subsequent marginalisation by dominant society. There are thus sharp differences between these two categories of population in terms of socio-economic location and the nature of disabilities. However, there is also growing common ground today in terms of conditions of economic exploitation and social discrimination that arise out of the impact of iniquitous development process. Concomitantly, the categories themselves are far from homogenous in terms of class, region, religion and gender and what we face today is an intricately complex reality. Bearing this in mind this paper attempts to provide a contextualised understanding of the field situation of the education of SC/ST children and issues and problems that directly or indirectly have a bearing on their future educational prospects. The paper seeks to provide a background to the National Curriculum Framework Review being undertaken by the National Council of Educational Research and Training. As such, it looks critically and contextually at educational developments among the Scheduled Caste and Scheduled Tribe with a view to arrive at an understanding of what policy and programmatic applications can be made, especially in the domain of curriculum, to improve their situation. The problems are many and complex. The paper attempts but does not claim a comprehensive discussion of the varied nuances of their complexity.

  • Mid Day Meal Scheme in Himachal Pradesh
    Mid Day Meal Scheme in Himachal Pradesh Economics 8t Statistics Department Himachal Prabesh Evaluation of Mid Day Meal Scheme in Himachal Pradesh Economics & Statistics Department Himachal Pradesh prtucalional Plann/, documentation Ce^ Pradeep Chauhan Economic Adviser Government of Himachal Pradesh PREFACE Indian education system is suffering enrolment, dropout and retention at primary and secondary level. In view of this issue, the Government of India has launched the scheme titled as Mid-Day Meal through which the benefits were targeted to the vulnerable section of the society i.e. the future of the country. This programme has also been introduced in the State in the same perspective. Since there is no data from the studies on the technical, operational and administrative feasibility of MDM implementation in the state, it was considered imperative to carry out mid-term evaluation as per guideline of Government of Himachal to determine the effectiveness, outcome and impact of the scheme. The evaluation study was conducted in six selected district Chamba, Kullu, L & S, Mandi and Sirmaur. The Present report is based on the data collected, analyzed from sample of 334 MDM centres which comprised in 33 Blocks of State. The Mid Day Meal scheme in HP is monitored by the Department of Education and this evaluation study was carried out by Department of Economics and Statistics. The main findings of the survey are present in Executive Summary of the report. The department acknowledges, with gratitude the unstinted co­ operation received from the students, local people and teachers and thanks to the authorities of education department, but for whose co­ operation, the survey would not have been possible.

  • Community Development
    The ability of governments to achieve their social and economic goals with limited resources is dependent upon efficiency, transparency and flexibility of public administration institutions. Even though economic advancement is witnessed worldwide, certain economies are marked with a very interesting paradox - accelerated economic progress on one hand, and extreme social and economic inequality, particularly for women, girls, and marginalised and vulnerable groups on the other, including those who are living with disability. Gender equality and social inclusion objectives and approaches are therefore critical to achieving long-term development goals that significantly improve the lives of the world’s poorest people. Community We work in partnership with development agencies, governments and NGOs to create solutions for achieving inclusive and sustainable community development. We have successfully designed and implemented multi- Development faceted development interventions that have integrated gender equality and social inclusion as cross cutting issues in all aspects of social and economic programming including private sector development, urban planning and development, slum development and community empowerment. We are skilled in policy development, capacity building, participatory approaches, adaptive management, community mobilisation, voice and accountability, behaviour change communication, design of social safety nets, beneficiary feedback analysis, satisfaction surveys, poverty assessments and monitoring approaches and results

  • RTE) Act in Unrecognised Schools of Delhi, India
    The effectiveness of the Right to Education (RTE) Act in unrecognised schools of Delhi, India Gopalkrishnan Iyer A thesis submitted in candidature for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy Newcastle University 2018 Abstract In 2009, the Government of India introduced a new Education Act known as the “Right to Education” (RTE). The Act was brought out with all good intentions that would focus on the provision of education to 6 –14 years of age. Focused heavily, on input based indicators the Act intended to improve learning outcomes of children enrolled in private and public schools. The RTE act is being imposed stringently on several low-cost private schools across Delhi, and they have been, threatened with closure in the case of non-compliance to the RTE indicators. This thesis investigates the possible consequences of the Act. The current research using mixed methods attempts to understand the relationship between the various RTE input indicators and the academic outcomes of the children enrolled in the threatened private schools of Delhi. The study used two sets of instruments to measure the learning outcomes of students. First, a test for subject-specific competence was measured through a bespoke exam, known as the ‘diagnostic test’. Second, general intelligence was, measured through Raven’s standard progressive matrices test to control for innate ability. The background of children was also gathered using a questionnaire. Information on school RTE indicators were collected through a school questionnaire. Teacher data related to the RTE were gathered through a semi-structured teacher questionnaire. An in-depth interview was carried out to collect qualitative data and gained narrative accounts from school head teachers and principals to understand more deeply how the RTE indicators were impacting on student outcomes and low-cost private schools in Delhi.

  • Read the Passage Carefully and Choose the Best Answer to Each Question out of the Four Alternatives. Announcing
    Direction (1-5): Read the passage carefully and choose the best answer to each question out of the four alternatives. Announcing the Interim Budget, acting finance minister Piyush Goyal on Friday proposed that individuals earning up to Rs. 5 lakh would get a full tax rebate. This will provide tax saving of up to Rs. 12,500 for all taxpayers in this bracket. Those who save more can effectively push this rebate up to an income of Rs. 6.5 lakh. Since this is a rebate and not a slab change, it will not impact the tax incidence of those with larger incomes though it will have some impact for those whose salaries are under Rs. 10 lakh as they can add home loans and tuition fees to get additional benefits. Goyal also announced that interest income of up to Rs 40,000 will attract no tax. However, he left its implementation to the next government for the full- fledged Budget after the Lok Sabha elections. Goyal further said the tax interface would be made simpler, resulting in an increase in tax collections and return filings. The Union minister said tax scrutiny would be done electronically and there will be no interaction between the tax authority and the taxpayer. Q1. Who is the acting finance minister based on the passage? (a) Arun Jaitley (b) Piyush Goyal (c) Palaniappan Chidambaram (d) Piyush Melkani Q2. Which of the following individuals would get a full tax rebate? (a) Individuals earning up to Rs. 6.5 lakh (b) Individuals earning up to Rs. 10 lakh (c) Individuals earning up to Rs.
