Paras- Nil TOTAL- Nil 2 CHAPTER-I OBSERVATIONS/RECOMMENDATIONS WHICH HAVE BEEN ACCEPTED BY THE GOVERNMENT BUDGETARY ALLOCATION Observation/Recommendation 1. From the details, it emerges that the actual expenditure of the Department during 2017-18 was slightly lower as compared to the actual expenditure of 2016-17. The Committee hopes that the Department would spend the remaining amount before the end of the current Financial Year in judicious and balanced manner. (Para 2.6) Action Taken The releases under the three Schemes of SSA, RMSA and TE in 2017-18 are as under: (` in Crore) 2017-18 BE RE (Final Grant) Releases % of Releases against RE SSA 23500 23593.86 23524.94 99.7 RMSA 3830 4036.54 4033.44 99.9 TE 480 480 476.56 99.3 TOTAL 27810 28110.4 28034.94 99.7 PRARAMBHIK SHIKSHA KOSH (PSK) Observation/Recommendation 2. The Committee appreciates the efforts made by the Government and the Department to generate sufficient resources for funding the projects aimed at spreading education in different parts of the country including the remote and inaccessible parts.

This indicates that Rs 13,113.72 crore which is roughly 6.80% of the total amount has not being utilized. The Committee would like to take this opportunity to impress upon the Department to ensure that the balance amount is utilized effectively. The Committee may also be informed about the steps taken in this regard in the Action Taken Notes. (Para 2.13) Action Taken The funds for meeting the Budgetary Expenditure of various Schemes of the Department of School Education & Literacy (including PSK) are provided by Ministry of Finance. This would include both the funds i.e. Gross Budgetary Support (GBS) and Prarambhik Shiksha Kosh (PSK). The funds of PSK are specifically spent on SSA and MDM. Over the years, the Department has received both GBS and PSK for these Schemes and spent accordingly, which clearly shows that the Government had spent more 2

  • Hustling the State
    Hustling the State Women’s Movements as Policy Entrepreneurs: Engaging the State in India Charu Bhaneja A thesis submitted in conformity with the requirements for the degree of Doctorate of Philosophy Graduate Department of Political Science University of Toronto © Copyright by Charu Bhaneja (2014) ~ ii ~ Hustling the State Women’s Movements as Policy Entrepreneurs: Engaging the State in India Charu Bhaneja Doctorate of Philosophy Department of Political Science University of Toronto « 2014 » Abstract This study examines the opportunities and constraints women activists confront as they pursue strategies to influence public policy in a fluctuating, diverse and complex political arena. To illustrate this, I suggest that engagement with the state can be efficacious in certain instances (violence against women) but that in those cases where women face structural constraints (women’s political representation), where the challenges are powerful, opportunity to have an impact is limited. Examining the extent to which the state has been an arena where women’s groups have been able to demand and achieve change provides significant insights into political environments that shape women’s agency and advocacy within that region. My doctoral thesis takes a multi-level approach in order to understand the impact of women’s movements on the state and its institutions. I maintain that women’s movement activity elicits state responsiveness and I analyze three factors to support my claim. First, I consider what government is in power and how open it is to engagement. Secondly, I consider how cohesive the women’s movement is on a particular issue and thirdly, I iii maintain that women’s national machinery can be an effective channel for implementing women’s interests.
