    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.

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.

This is the third half yearly report on Mid Day Meals (MDM) for the year 2013-15 and is based on the data collected from five districts in Kerala, viz., Kannur, Idukki, Palakkad, Wayanad and Kozhicode. I hope the findings of the report would be helpful to both the Government of India and the Government of Kerala state to understand the functioning of and the achievements with regard to Mid Day Meals (MDM) in the state. The problems identified at the grass root level may be useful for initiating further interventions in the implementation of Mid Day Meals (MDM) in the state. In this context I extend my hearty thanks to C. Gasper, Nodal Officer for monitoring Mid Day Meals (MDM) in Kerala and his team members who have rendered a good service by taking pains to visit the schools located in the most inaccessible areas and preparing the report in time.

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.
