Overview

Overview

The essence of human resource development is that education must play a significant and interventionist role in remedying imbalances in the socio-economic fabric of the country. Basic education has also greatly contributed to the quality of human life, particularly with regard to life expectancy, infant mortality, learning levels and nutritional status of children, etc. Several new initiatives have been taken by the Government placing emphasis on decentralization with the participation of people at the grass root level. Consequently, universal basic education has vastly contributed to social justice and equity, and participative economic growth. Education for all programme, makes an effort to universalize elementary education by communityownership of the school system. It is a response to the demand for quality basic education all over the country and seeks to ensure access, retention and quality improvement. It reiterates the need to focus on girls' education to equalize educational opportunities and eliminate gender disparities. The international movement towards Education for All (EFA) encompasses six goals of early childhood care and education, universal elementary education, adult literacy, adolescent and life skill education, gender equality and all aspects of quality education. These goals are designed to enable children and young adults to realize their right to learn. The Government of India is committed to the Education for All (EFA) goals, which encompass early childhood care and education, primary education, girls' education, as also adult education. Government of India implements a number of programmes for the achievement of the EFA goals, including, inter alia, Sarva Shiksha Abhiyan (SSA), Mid Day Meal Scheme (MDM) and National Literacy Mission (NLM).

Sarva Shiksha Abhiyan (SSA), which is a major flagship programme of the Government, addresses the national resolve of universalizing elementary education. Under SSA, special focus is on girls, children belonging to SC/ST communities, other weaker sections, minorities and urban deprived children. Under Sarva Shiksha Abhiyan India has not only been able to improve access to 98% at primary level but have also been able to reduce out of school children to 3-4% of 6-14 years age cohort. More emphasis is being laid to quality under the SSA, as specific provision for learning enhancement programme, remedial teaching and emphasis on teacher training is being placed. In fact, 50% of the SSA outlay is now going towards quality. Mid Day Meal Scheme, has been enlarged to include upper primary schools and presently covers about 11.74 crore children studying at the primary and upper primary level in Government, Local Body and Government-aided schools and the Centres running under Education Guarantee Scheme and Alternative & Innovative Education for all areas across the country. Secondary education serves as a bridge between elementary and higher education and prepares young persons between the age group of 14-18 years for entry into higher education or work situations. Successful implementation for Sarva Shiksha Abhiyan for provision of universal elementary education to almost 100% of the relevant age group by 2010 is likely to create a surge in demand in the secondary schools. It is, therefore, essential to remain prepared to meet this rise in demand through advance action to provide universal access to quality secondary education preferably within a distance of 5 to 7 Kms. from any habitation. Not only universal

Annual Report 2008-09

enrolment, but universal retention and satisfactory quality of learning should also be a priority. To meet the growing demand for access to secondary education, some of the major initiatives proposed to be taken by the Central Government during XI Plan include launching the scheme of Rashtriya Madhyamik Shiksha Abhiyan (RMSA), setting up of 6000 model schools, National Means cum Merit Scholarship scheme, etc. The National Literacy Mission (NLM) was launched in May, 1988 with the objective of imparting functional literacy to adult illiterates in the 15-35 age group. The goal of the Mission is to achieve 80% literacy rate by the end of the 11th Plan period. The main schemes of the NLM are the schemes of Literacy Campaign and Operation Restoration which include the Total Literacy Campaign (TLC) for imparting basic literacy to the adult illiterates, followed by the Post Literacy Programme (PLP) for the reinforcement of the literacy skills of the new literates. The continuing Education Programme (CEP) provides opportunities for life long education to the community at large. In Higher Education Sector, the Government has been making vigorous efforts to achieve the goals as per the priorities envisaged in the XI Plan. The major achievements in Higher Education during XI Plan in various areas are as follows :

approved by the Cabinet in 2004, commenced its academic session in 2007. 5 Indian Institutes of Science Edcuation & Research (IISERs), 2 Schools of Planning & Architecture (SPAs) and 1 IIM have started functioning. 15 new Central Universities have been set up on 15.1.2009 in uncovered States which includes conversion of 3 State Universities into Central Universities.

Policy
Paras 5.13 5.15 of the National Policy on Education (NPE), 1986 (as modified in 1992) deal with Secondary Education. Para 5.13. of the NPE, inter alia states that access to Secondary Education will be widened with emphasis on enrolment of girls, SCs and STs, particularly in science, commerce and vocational streams. Boards of Secondary Education will be reorganized and vested with autonomy so that their ability to improve the quality of secondary education is enhanced. Efforts will be made to provide computer literacy in as many secondary level institutions as possible so that the children are equipped with necessary computer skills to be effective in the emerging technological world. A proper understanding of the work ethos and of the values of a humane and composite culture will be brought about through appropriately formulated curricula. Vocationalization through specialized institutions or through the refashioning of secondary education will, at this age, provide valuable manpower for economic growth. Following the Constitutional mandate to universalise elementary education, and success of Sarva Shiksha Abhiyan, it has become absolutely essential to push this vision forward to move towards universalisation of secondary education, which has already been achieved in a large number of developed countries and several developing countries. It is well recognized that eight years of education are insufficient to equip a child for the world of work as also to be a competent adult and citizen. The Mid-Term Appraisal of the 10th Five Year Plan (June 2005) of the Planning Commission has suggested a new mission for secondary education on the lines of SSA (Sarva Shiksha Abhiyan) pursuant to the success of SSA. The report of the

Committee of the Central Advisory Board of Education (CABE) on Universalisation of Secondary Education (June 2005), which is the highest deliberative and advisory forum on Education in the country with Union Minister of Human Resource Development as Chairman and Education Ministers of all States and eminent educationists as its Members, had suggested urgent taking up of a programme in this behalf with certain norms. The CABE Committee on Girls Education & Common School System in its report of June, 2005 had also, inter alia, recommended (i) making good quality education available to all students in all schools at affordable fees, (ii) investment in public schools system with standards, norms of Kendriya Vidyalayas. While education is a concurrent subject, and secondary education primarily remains the responsibility of the State Governments, the Ministry of HRD has set its vision on making secondary education of good quality available, accessible & affordable to all young persons in the age group 15-16 years.

Additional JNVs in selected 20 SC & ST Concentration districts

The JNVs perform a role of national integration due to homogeneity of curriculum, syllabus, medium of instruction, teachers of comparable competencies from different parts of the country and a common management system, there is a huge unmet demand for more JNVs that need to be fulfilled. It is also important to provide schools of excellence in the districts having large concentration of SC and ST of the country, to impart quality education to the deprived section of S.No. State District

the society. Such schools will function as pace setting schools that will create models for State Governments to follow, and will open up these districts to the national mainstream In pursuance to the Finance Minister's announcement in his budget speech on 29-022008 to establish Navodaya Vidyalayas in 20 districts that have a large concentration of Scheduled Castes and Scheduled Tribes, Government of India has approved opening of one JNV in each of the following SC and ST Concentration districts in the country.

National Institute of Open Schooling

Vision of NIOS
The National Institute of Open Schooling, with international recognition and presence, provides access to sustainable and learner-centric quality school education, skill upgradation and training through open and distance learning and ensures convergence of open schooling organizations, resulting in an inclusive learning society, human resource development, national integration and global understanding.

Background
Initiated as a project in 1979 by the Central Board of Secondary Education, the Open Schooling programmes has now taken shape as an independent system of education in India. The National Institute of Open Schooling (NIOS), formerly National Open School (NOS), with approximately, 1.5 million learners on roll, has emerged as the largest Open Schooling organization in the world. Keeping in view the diversified needs of the target groups, NIOS offers Open and Distance Learning programmes ranging from Basic Education to Senior Secondary Education and a large number of Vocational Education Courses. In 1990, the Government of India through a Gazette Notification vested in NIOS the authority to examine and certify learners registered with it up to Pre-degree level. The Vision Document envisages that NIOS will act mainly as a Resource Organization in Open

Schooling of national and at international level with its usual programme delivery role. It has been proposed that the State Open Schools (SOSs) may assume major responsibility for expansion of Open Schooling in India, since the prospective learners would generally prefer opting regional languages as medium for their courses of study. NIOS works through its five Departments and two Units at headquarters and 11 Regional Centres located at Hyderabad, Pune, Kolkata, Guwahati, Chandigarh, Delhi, Allahabad, Patna, Jaipur, Kochi and Bhopal. Three Sub-Centres of the Regional Centres of NIOS have been set up at Bhubaneswar, Dehradun and Darbhanga.

Courses of Study Offered by NIOS

The NIOS provides opportunities to interested learners by making available the following Courses/Programmes of Study through open and distance learning (ODL) mode.

Open Basic Education (OBE) Programme for children (upto 14 years), and for adolescents and adults at A, B and C levels that are equivalent to classes III, V and VIII of the formal school system Secondary Education Course Vocational Programmes Education Courses/

subjects like Mathematics, Physics, Chemistry, Biology, Accountancy, Commerce, Home Science, etc, are available in three mediums i.e., Hindi, English and Urdu. The Secondary and Senior Secondary and Vocational Courses of NIOS are offered through 3300 Study Centres. Of these, 26 AIs are in UAE and Nepal. Acknowledging the fact that the young entrepreneurs will be wealth of the nation, the learner friendly Vocational Education programmes of NIOS provides excellent prospects for the learners, it offers about 80 Vocational Education Courses in the areas Agriculture, Business and Commerce, Engineering and Technology, Health and Paramedical, Home Science and Hospitality Management, Teacher Training, Computer and IT related Sectors. The NIOS is endeavouring to extend assistance to the State Education Departments in setting up or upscaling their own open schooling programmes. Thirteen States (Andhra Pradesh, Assam, Chattisgarh, Delhi, Haryana, Jammu and Kashmir, Karnataka, Kerala, Madhya Pradesh, Punjab, Rajasthan, Tamilnadu, West Bengal) have already set up the State Open Schools (SOSs). A forum, termed National Consortium for Open Schooling (NCOS), with its Secretariat in NIOS, has been set up to address the matters relating to promotion of Open Schooling in India.

Life Enrichment Programme

The OBE programme offers elementary education programmes by providing a learning continuum based on graded curriculum ensuring quality of education for children, neo-literates, school dropouts/left-outs and NFE completers. For implementation of OBE programme, NIOS has partnership with 655 Agencies in different States providing facilities at their Study Centres. The NIOS provides resource support, such as adaptation of NIOS model curricula, study materials, joint certification, orientation of Resource Persons and popularization of OBE, to the Voluntary agencies, Jan Shikshan Sanstans and Zila Saksharta Samities (ZSSs) for implementation of its OBE programme. At the Secondary and Senior Secondary levels, NIOS provides flexibility in the choice of subjects/courses, pace of learning, and transfer of credits from CBSE, State Open Schools and some State Boards of School Education to enable learner's continuation. A learner is extended as many as nine chances to appear in public examinations spread over a period of five years. Besides conducting two public examinations in each academic year, NIOS has been offering the facility of ICT based On Demand Examination. NIOS offers 27 subjects like Mathematics, Science and Technology, Social Science, Economics, Business Studies, Home Science (and Languages) etc., at secondary level in Hindi, English, Urdu, Marathi, Telugu, Gujarati and Malayam mediums. NIOS offers 26 subjectrs including languages at Senior Secondary level and

Seeing the success of initial pilot project, NIOS expanded scope of Ni-On Project. This was also inaugurated by Hon'ble HRM on 3rd July 2008. 1,60,000 admissions have taken place in the current Academic Session. The Payment Gateway facility has been expanded to cover all financial transactions of the learners with NIOS, in addition to payment of admission fee for online admissions. The Salient features of On-Line Admission include (i) direct access to admission and (ii) freedom to select study centre. Admission is open round the year for learners applying for On-Demand Examination. The facility of payment of fee through credit card has also been provided. On-line Admissions for Vocational Education courses have also been introduced. During 200809, NIOS admitted 1,54,940 students on-line and 2,03,392 students through the Study Centres. Learner Support Centre Under the Ni-On Project itself, a 24x7 call centre for providing assistance to the learners of NIOS was also conceived. This call centre is known as Learner Support Centre and has become operational on pilot basis on all working days during the office hours comprising of '5' desks. It responds to the queries of learners of NIOS related to admissions, examinations, delivery of study material etc. The Learner Support Centre will eventually become a 24x7 call centre and will cover all the dimensions of the functioning of NIOS, which will respond to the queries, which are generic in nature as well as individual specific queries. Learner/Public can contact NIOS Learner Support Centre through telephones at a toll free number 1800-180-9393, which are handled through IVRS. Learners can also contact Learner Support Centre by e-mail also. Education of Minorities Religious minorities particularly educationally backward communities like Muslims is an important prioritised target group for NIOS,

particularly women and girls within these communities. In the light of the recommendations of the Sachar Committee report about the status of education amongst Muslims, a Minority Cell was set up in NIOS to expand the reach and impact of NIOS Programmes and Policies amongst minority communities especially amongst girls and women by undertaking active advocacy programmes to establish linkages with minority educational institutions. NIOS was identified as a lead institution by National Monitoring Committee for Minority Education (NMCME) for providing linkage of minority educational institutions like Madarsas and Maktabs with educational mainstream. A major initiative in this direction is relaxation of norms for granting accreditation to Traditional Educational Institutions of Muslims like Madarsas and Maktabs by NIOS . As a result of these far reaching institutional changes brought about by MHRD and NIOS, NIOS was able to conceive and launch project Hunar in collaboration with Bihar Education Project Council (BEPC). The project was launched formally on 3rd July 2008 by Hon'ble HRM, Shri Arjun Singh and Hon'ble Chief Minister of Bihar, Shri Nitish Kumar. The project aims at providing skill training/ upgradation to Muslim girls all over Bihar in the age group of 11-16 years without any cost to them. The delivery mechanism for this pilot project was conceived on novel lines by creating a new network of educational institutions and other institutions run and controlled by Muslim community all over Bihar without any participation from Government at any level in the actual implementation of the Project. NIOS was able to identify '3' Nodal Agencies amongst others like Imarat-e-Sharia, Idare-Sharia and Rahmani Foundation, which are leading socio-religious and educational institutions of Muslims in State of Bihar/India. The target group comprises of 13,768 Muslim girls in seven trades/skills selected by them with the help of BEPC. Seeing the importance of the Project, a

After country-wide consultation and deliberations, NIOS has brought out a significant document titled: Vocational Education Training: A Framework on Curriculum Imperatives with a Focus on Knowledge Acquisitionand Skill Development: Initiatives through Open and Distance Learning. This publication has been disseminated widely. Steps are being taken to make use of this Curriculum Framework for placing the Vocational Education and Training (VET) programme of NIOS on a sound pedestal. Steps are also being taken to make use of Modular Approach in VET Courses of NIOS. Revision of Courses of Study The Self Instructional Materials (SIMs), in subjects like Hindi, English, Urdu, Mathematics, Psychology, Biology, Physics, Chemistry, Accountancy, Commerce at the Senior Secondary stage are being revised in the light of the provisions of the National Curriculum Framework (NCF2005) and latest developments. These materials were printed and provided to the students during the academic session 2008-09. International Collaboration

Examination Reform in Open Schooling One of the major initiatives taken in the year 200809 was setting up of a model Examination Centre in the Regional Centre, Delhi campus at NOIDA, where around 3000 students were examined. The centre was equipped with CCTV cameras, modern furniture, clean drinking water and toilet facilities and was monitored directly by the NIOS. NIOS also changed the format and design of Answer Books to ensure greater safety and secrecy and formulated directives for detailed Marking Scheme to be made available on NIOS website after examination. NIOS also introduced CCTVs for On Demand Examination. Another development was the categorization of Examination Centres into Sensitive and Super Sensitive Centres for ensuring strict monitoring. NIOS developed a policy for Joint Inspections with State Government teams for the purpose of Examination Monitoring.

NIOS is collaborating with the Commonwealth of Learning in their Open Education Resources (OERs) Project that aims at establishing a formal basis of cooperation between COL and MHRD (India) in a collaborative effort to broaden access to

An Overview
Technical Education plays a vital role in human resource development of the country by creating skilled manpower, enhancing industrial productivity and improving the quality of life. Technical Education covers courses and programmes in engineering, technology, management, architecture, town planning, pharmacy, applied arts & crafts, hotel management and catering technology. The technical education system in the country can be broadly classified into three categories, viz. Central Government funded institutions, State Government/State-funded institutions & Selffinanced institutions. In 2008-09 there were 63 centrally funded institutions in the country. The 63 centrally funded institutes of technical & science education are as follows: Number of Institutions 13 7 1 5 20 4 4 9

Centrally Funded Institutions Indian Institutes of Technology (IITs) Indian Institutes of Management (IIMs) Indian Institute of Science (IISc.) Indian Institutes of Science Education & Research (IISERs) National Institutes of Technology (NITs) Indian Institutes of Information Technology (IIITs) National Institutes of Technical Teachers Training & Research (NITTTRs) Others Schools of Planning & Architecture (SPAs)-3, Indian School of Mines University (ISMU), North-East Regional Institute of Science & Technology (NERIST), National Institute of Industrial Engineering (NITIE), National Institute of Foundry & Forge Technology (NIFFT), Sant Longowal Institute of Engineering & Technology (SLIET), Central Institute of Technology (CIT). Total There are four Boards of Apprenticeship Training (BOATs). The Central Government is also implementing the following schemes/ programmes: (i) Technical Education Quality Improvement Programme (TEQIP) assisted by the World Bank. (ii) (iii) (iv) (v)

The major challenge before the technical education system is one of access, equity and inclusion. Another area of concern is inadequate availability of faculty both in terms of quality and in numbers. Promotion of R&D efforts, improvement in employability of trained graduates and postgraduates coming out of the technical institutes, are some of the areas where efforts are required. In 2008-09 several new measures were taken to implement the Governments vision of providing increased access with equity and excellence. The setting up of new Indian Institutes of Technology (IITs), Indian Institutes of Management (IIMs), Indian Institutes for Science Education & Research (IISERs), assisting the State Governments for the establishment of new polytechnics and the initiation of the process for setting up of Indian Institutes of Information Technology (IIITs) and National Institutes of Technology (NITs) are steps in this direction. The centrally funded technical institutions have also started implementing the OBCs reservation in admissions as envisaged under the Central Educational Institutions (Reservations in Admission) Act, 2006 from the year 2008-09.

technical programmes. In addition to its regulatory role, the AICTE also has a promotional role which it implements through schemes for promoting technical education for women, handicapped and weaker sections of the society, promoting innovations, faculty development & research giving grants to technical institutions etc. The technical institutions under the AICTE include post-graduate, under-graduate and diploma in the whole spectrum of technical education covering engineering/technology, pharmacy, architecture, hotel management and catering technology, management studies, computer applications and applied arts and crafts. The AICTE has its headquarters in New Delhi and eight regional offices located at Kolkata, Chennai, Kanpur, Mumbai, Chandigarh, Bhopal, Bangalore and Hyderabad. The Council discharges its functions through a 21 member Executive Committee. The Council is assisted by 10 Statutory Boards of Studies, namely, UG Studies in Engineering & Technology, PG Education and Research in Engineering & Technology, Management Studies, Vocational Education, Pharmaceutical Education, Architecture, Hotel Management and Catering Technology, Information Technology, Town and Country Planning and Technician Education. In accordance with the functions assigned to it under Clause 10(k) of the AICTE Act, the Council grants approvals for starting new technical institutions and for introducing new courses or programmes in approved institutions. Approvals are accorded in consultation with respective state Governments and affiliating universities. The details of AICTE approved degree level and diploma level technical institutions for the academic year 2008-09 are summarized below:

At the undergraduate and postgraduate levels, in consultation with the concerned State government agencies, the AICTE grants approvals for starting new technical institutions, for introducing new courses or programmes, and for increase in intake capacity in technical institutions. The AICTE has delegated powers to process and grant approval of new institutions, starting new courses and variations in the intake capacity for diploma level technical institutions to the concerned State Governments. The process of granting approvals has been reviewed to make it more transparent, responsive and hassle free. The concerned agencies i.e. State Governments & universities are consulted at all important stages of decision making. The process of approval for new

institutions has been streamlined to minimize hardship to stakeholders. The National Board of Accreditation (NBA) which was set up in 1994 under Sation 10 (4) of AICTE Act. awards accreditation status to programmes as Accredited for five years, Accredited for three years and Not Accredited (NA). Accreditation was based on an 8 point criteria which was input based. NBA has, however, revised the criteria for accreditation of institutes to bring it at par with international parameters. Accreditation is now based on a 1000 point scale and is an outcome based accreditaiton system. There has been a substantial increase in the number of accredited programmes as is seen from the table placed below:

AICTE initiatives for overcoming imbalances in Technical Education

In order to overcome imbalances in technical education, the Council has taken up certain new initiatives as per details given below: 1. In order to ensure reducing of imbalance between engineering education and polytechnic education the Council has permitted second shift of polytechnic in an existing polytechnic institution and also a second shift of polytechnic in an existing engineering institution. Keeping in view, the regional imbalance of the number of seats in various States of the country, the Council has allowed second shift of engineering colleges in existing colleges only in those States where the number of seats available in engineering colleges per lakh of population is less than the all India average. For a balanced growth of various streams of education in engineering & technology, the Council has taken a policy decision to allow establishment of new engineering institutions with at least three conventional branches as a mandatory requirement in the States where the number of seats available in engineering colleges per lakh of population are more than the all India average, whereas in the states where the number of seats available in engineering colleges per lakh of population are less than the all India average, no such restriction is applicable.

2.

In order to ensure development of technical institutions with optimal utilization of infrastructure and other facilities without compromising on prescribed norms and standards, the Council has allowed development of integrated campus with multi-discipline in which various programmes , namely, engineering, management, pharmacy and some other areas of technical education can be run in the same campus which will facilitate optimal utilization of manpower, network facilities, labs, workshops, library and also provide scope for academic integration with inter-disciplinary interaction and better learning environment. This would enable such integrated institutions to develop synergy and utilize common facilities and in turn reduce cost of education. Such institutions may also extend integrated undergraduate and postgraduate programmes in management and computer application courses and research programmes along with the main stream of engineering programmes at the under graduate and post graduate levels.

Industry participants contributed about Rs.9.00 crore in addition to support in terms of equipment, components, manpower and hardware etc. worth Rs.15.00 crore.

Most of the deliverables were achieved. Subsequent increase in industry-sponsored research at IITs and IISc confirmed that the TDMI program fostered an environment of faith in capabilities of Indian academic institutions to solve current technology problems of the industry and help them in developing newer technologies and products. Some of the significant benefits from TDM-I were: Industry and IITs collaborated on such mission-oriented programmes for the first time. Industry was convinced about the capabilities of IITs and IISc in solving technological problems and to undertake development of new products successfully. Increase in the number of Industrysponsored research at IITs and IISc Enhanced academic collaboration among these top Institutes.

The most important aspect of this mission was a significant effort on the part of the Government in encouraging industry-institute interaction as well as assisting industry in developing the latest technology. This was the first time that mission oriented programs were successfully taken jointly with industry. The TDM-I was successfully and highly appreciated in the National Steering committee meeting of the Planning Commission held on August 06,, 1999 at New Delhi.

Growth in Literacy
The literacy rate as per Census 2001 was 64.84% as against 52.21% in 1991. The 12.63 percentage point increase in the literacy rate during the period was the highest increase in any decade. There has also been significant decline in the absolute number of non-literates from 328.88 million in 1991 to 304 million in 2001. This was accompanied by a narrowing of the gap in male-female literacy rate from 24.84% in 1991 to 21.59% in 2001 as female literacy recorded an increase of 14.38 percentage points i.e. from 39.29% to 53.67%, compared to male literacy which recorded an increase of 11.13 percentage points from 64.13% to 75.26%. Moreover, the urban-rural literacy differential also decreased during the period. All States registered an increase in literacy rates. Nonetheless, inter-state and intra-state disparities still persist, even though the gap

Female Literacy
Significant progress has been made in female literacy, which increased at a faster rate compared to male literacy from 1981 onwards. Consequently, the male-female literacy

differential at 26.62 percentage points in 1981 was reduced to 24.84 percentage points in 1991, which has further been reduced to 21.6 percentage points in 2001, when growth in female literacy was

recorded at a higher rate of 14.41 percentage points as compared to the corresponding figure for males at 11.72.

It is apparent from the above table that the literacy rate among the Muslim minority is 5.7 percent point lower than the corresponding figure for all persons and 7.7 and 3.6 per cent lower than the male and female population, respectively. 88 Muslim concentrated districts have been identified where special efforts are taken to accelerate literacy programmes.

Consequently, the male-female literacy differential at 26.62 percentage points in 1981 was reduced to 24.84 percentage points in 1991, which has further been reduced to 21.6 percentage in 2001, when growth in female literacy was recorded at a higher rate of 14.41 percentage points as compared to the corresponding figure for males at 11.72 percentage points.

National Literacy Mission

The National Literacy Mission (NLM), set up in May, 1988, provides functional literacy to non-literates in the 15 35 age group. The National Literacy Mission (NLM) has always had and will continue to retain a gender focus in its literacy programmes, with greater attention to women from SC, ST and minority groups. Literacy of women and girls is of crucial importance to the issue of gender inequality; literacy contributes positively to womens empowerment, in terms of self-esteem, economic independence and social emancipation. Participation in adult literacy programmes enables women to gain access to and challenge male domains by, for instance, entering maledominated areas of work and participating in household finances. Literacy classes also provide women with a social space, away from home. Significant progress has been made in female literacy, which increased at a faster rate compared to male literacy from 1981 onwards.

Literacy Programmes: Present Status

Out of 600 districts in the country, 597 have since been covered under Adult Education Programmes. Currently there are 95 districts under Total Literacy Campaigns, 174 Post Literacy Programme and 328 under Continuing Education Programme. There are 26 Resource Centres functioning in various States. At present, there are 271 Jan Shikshan Sansthans in the country. 12.69 crore persons have been made literate so far. About 60% of the beneficiaries are women, while 22% and 12% belong to Scheduled Castes and Scheduled Tribes. respectively.

Adult Education

The Planning Commission, while indicating the allocations for 2007-08 (being the first year of the XI Plan) had merged the schemes of Literacy Campaign and Operation Restoration and Continuing Education Programme, broadened the programme scope and renamed it as Adult Education and Skill Development with a

192

consolidated allocation for basic literacy, post literacy and continuing education phases. The Working Group on Adult Education for the XI Plan had also recommended the amalgamation of the earlier programmes of Total Literacy Campaigns (TLC), Post Literacy Programme (PLP) and Continuing Education Programme (CEP). A series of national level consultations were held, including inter alia: 1. Planning Commission held a Consultative Meeting on 12th June 2008 to discuss the 11th Plan strategies on Adult Education. Planning Commission recommended that external evaluations of the existing programmes should be completed before programme parameters and norms are revised. Accordingly, the following evaluations were undertaken and completed: (i) TLC/ PLP by SNDT, Mumbai, (ii) JSS by IIM, Bangalore; (iii) SRCs by MDI, Gurgaon,. The National Consultation organized in NUEPA on 26th June 2008 addressed several important issues. One related to the different stages of the adult education (TLC/ PLP/CE) being viewed as separate projects. This approach has resulted in gaps between sanction and initiation of the different stages, and affected the learning continuum from basic literacy to post literacy and continuing education. Merger of the different stages into a single programme, with concurrent and parallel planning and provisioning for basic literacy and continuing education, would help the learners to transit from basic literacy to self-reliant learning levels without interruption. The second issue raised during the NUEPA consultation concerned the volunteer mode or payment system for literacy instructors. The National Consultation favoured the volunteer mode, since literacy movements, the world over, have been peoples movements, driven by altruism, selflessness and voluntarism. Moreover, the entire allocation for 11th Plan 3.

would be expended only on remunerations, leaving little or no provisioning for learning material, training, environment building, monitoring, etc, if a payment system for volunteer instructors is adopted. The third issue related to the management system, especially the SLMAs and the ZSSs and the urgency to strengthen these institutions to become more people oriented. The state-wise review meetings with Education Secretaries conducted during June-July 2008 indicated that concern for the literacy programme still exists. There is however, need for significant systemic reform in order to revive the literacy programmes. The inter-departmental meetings with Ministries/Departments of Panchayati Raj, Rural Development, Health and Family Welfare, Women and Child Development, and other related Ministries revealed the enormous scope for linking literacy with PRIs, SHGs and such agencies to augment the resources for literacy. The Department of Higher Education in MHRD was very positive about reviving the system of secondment of university and college teachers to work fulltime for literacy in the ZSS and state levels, as existed earlier.

These national consultations provided significant inputs into the Departments proposal to revise and modify the programme. The basic features of the proposal include: Restructuring of the existing programme so that basic literacy, post literacy and continuing education form a continuum, rather than sequential segments Restructuring of the existing literacy centres so as to anchor them in the Gram Panchayats for providing a range of opportunities for basic literacy and continuing education

Scheme of Support to voluntary agencies for Adult Education and Skill Development
Hitherto, the Department of School Education and Literacy has provided support to voluntary agencies in adult education through two schemes, namely (i) Assistance to Voluntary Agencies in the field of Adult Education, and (ii) Jan Shikshan Sansthans. The former was conceptualized as an overarching programme to encourage innovation and creativity in literacy and continuing education. Apart from imparting literacy, the NGOs provide academic and technical resource support through experimental and innovative programmes and also conducting evaluation and impact studies; organization of workshops, seminars, etc. The scheme of Assistance to Voluntary Agencies also included the establishment of State Resource Centres (SRC) for technical and academic resource support to adult education. Separately, the scheme of Jan Shikshan Sansthan (JSS) provided support for literacy and post literacy linked vocational education. State Resource Centre were established under the auspices of voluntary agencies/universities provide academic and technical resource support to literacy and adult education programme through organizing training programmes, material development, production and dissemination, including translating of material, undertaking motivational and environment building activities, running field programmes and undertaking action research, evaluation and monitoring. Currently there are 26 SRCs in different parts of the country. Of them 13 are in Category A and 13 are in Category B.

The scheme of Jan Shikshan Sansthan, formerly known as Shramik Vidyapeeth, was launched as polyvalent or multi-faceted adult education programme aimed at improving the vocational skills and quality of life of workers and their family members. The programme evolved over the years to respond to the educational and vocational training needs of numerous groups of adult and young people living in urban and industrial areas and for persons who had been migrating from rural to urban settings. With the emergence of large numbers of neo-literates through the Total Literacy Campaigns launched across the length and breadth of the country the focus of Jan Shikshan Sansthan shifted from industrial workers in urban areas to the neo-literates and unskilled and unemployed youth in rural areas. Jan Shikshan Sansthan are set up under the auspices of NGOs/Universities which are provided 100% financial assistance for taking up vocational training programmes for the benefit of the neoliterates, unskilled and unemployed youth and other weaker sections of the society. The operational areas of the Jan Shikshan Sansthan earlier restricted to urban, semi-urban and industrial areas have now been extended to the entire district, including rural areas. Jan Shikshan Sansthans are classified into three categories A, B & C depending upon their location and performance. Currently 271 Jan Shikshan Sansthans have been sanctioned across the country which include 50 new Jan Shikshan Sansthans sanctioned in January February, 2009. Of these, 5 are in Category A, 26 are in Category B & 240 are in Category C and are entitled for annual recurring grant of Rs.35/30/25 lakhs respectively. The Planning Commission, while indicating outlays for 2007-08, merged all the NGO based schemes. Accordingly, processes for revision of the scheme were initiated and completed in 2008-09. The revised scheme is now called Scheme of Support to Voluntary Agencies for Adult Education & Skill Development. The revised scheme provides, inter-alia for:

Research and Evaluation

196

The National Literacy Mission has adopted several measures for the evaluation of the literacy programmes. The evaluation is of two kinds concurrent and external. The concurrent evaluation for TLC/PLP/CE districts is done through the NLM empanelled external evaluation agencies nominated by the State Directorates of Adult / Mass Education. External evaluation of all literacy programmes in the districts is conducted through one of the three agencies suggested by the national Literacy Mission out of which the districts select one agency. Literacy, Post literacy and continuing education programme are evaluated after completion of each phase. So far 427 literacy campaigns, 205 post literacy programmes and 62 continuing education programmes have been evaluated by the external agencies. The performance of SRCs and JSSs is evaluated once in 5 years and 3 years respectively. As on date 116 Jan Shikshan Sansthans and 24 State Resource Centres have been evaluated by external agencies. On the basis of external evaluation reports and periodical review, the SRCs and JSSs are advised to take remedial action to improve performance. In addition the following evaluations were also conducted i. ii. iii.

Monitoring
Monitoring has been recognized as essential tool for identification of the strengths and weaknesses of the Adult Education Programme and designed to make the objectives operationally more realistic and to ensure its implementation. The broad strategy of implementation of the Adult Education Programme as conceived in the National Literacy Mission emphasizes the need for having an efficient management and monitoring system. The information compiled at the state level, which is received by the Directorate, is analyzed and compiled in the form of status report by DAE. 1. DAE organised a three-day Annual Conference of Directors of State Resource Centres from March 3-5, 2008 to review the pace and progress of SRCs. Life Skill Training Programmes were also organised for their benefit. Number of meetings were organised at central/regional levels to review the pace and progress of JSSs. Vocational Course curriculum books on different topics of utility were prepared and published for the use of beneficiaries of JSSs. Review meetings were held in Kanpur, Aurangabad and Chennai in which the halfyearly progress of JSS were reviewed. Mid-term review of State Resource Centres was held at Vigyan Bhavan on December 1112, 2008. The meeting was attended by Directors of State Resource Centres. The Directors of Bhopal and J&K could not attend the meeting due to technical reasons.

Establishment of Centres in Universities for study of Social exclusion and inclusive Policy:
In India, certain communities such as Scheduled Castes, Scheduled Tribes and religious minorities experience systemic exclusion in the matter of taking advantages of development. Social exclusion is a complex and multidimensional concept having social, cultural, political and economic ramifications. The consequences of macroeconomic policies such as poverty, unemployment and involuntary migration exclude the victims from economic, cultural, and political activities. The study of such hegemonic structures is more important in the Indian context where institutional inequality and discrimination has been a pervasive feature of our society. The tenth plan recognized that marginalization; exclusion, persecution of people on account of social, religious, caste and gender adversely affect development outcomes.

focal points in the development paradigm and the focus has to be not only on the creation of Intellectual Property, but also to maintain, protect and manage it by inculcating awareness of this important sphere of national wealth creating activity. Being multi-disciplinary in character, there has to be a combination of technological, legal and management inputs to tackle the complex issues in the IPR sector. Universities and other recognized institutions of higher learning can and ought to take a leading role in creating knowledge resources in this regard. With its vast human capital and intellectual property, India is all set to play a big role in this field. For this purpose, it is essential that purposeful and proactive steps are made towards capacity building. There can be many dimensions of such capacity building exercise, one of which is the creation of professorial chairs in institutes of national excellence to encourage both research in the field of IPRs as well as to create a pool of trained manpower. With this end in view, the Book Promotion and Copyright Division of this Ministry is implementing a scheme namely Intellectual Property Education, Research and Public Outreach (IPERPO). Under the scheme 18 institutions have been selected and sanctioned MHRD IPR Chairs including five (5) IPR Chairs in universities (i.e. CUSAT, Cochin; Faculty of Law, Delhi University; Delhi School of Economics; Jawaharlal Nehru University; New Delhi and University of Madras, five (5) IPR Chairs in IITs (Delhi, Kanpur, Kharagpur, Bombay and Madras), five (5) IPR Chairs in National Law Universities (NLSIU, Bangalore; NALSAR, Hyderabad; WBNUJS, Kolkata; NLIU, Bhopal; and NLIU, Jodhpur) and three IPR Chairs in IIMs (Kolkata, Bangalore and Ahmadabad).

The goals of human development are closely intertwined with development and empowerment of women, who, as an independent group constitute about 496 million (2001 Census) representing 48 percent of the total population of India. They not only constitute valuable human resources of the country but their development in the socio economic arena sets pace for sustainable growth of the economy.

institutions encouraged to take up active programmes to further women's development. The removal of women's illiteracy and obstacles inhibiting their access to, and retention in elementary education will receive overriding priority, through provision of special support services, setting of time targets, and effective monitoring. Major emphasis will be laid on women's participation in vocational, technical and professional education at different levels. The policy of non-discrimination will be pursued vigorously to eliminate sex stereotyping in vocational and professional courses and to promote women's participation in non-traditional occupations, as well as in existing and emergent technologies. The National Policy for Empowerment of Women 2001 envisaged introduction of a gender perspective in the budgeting process as an operational strategy.

Constitutional Provisions
The principle of gender equality is enshrined in the Indian Constitution in its Preamble, Fundamental Rights, Fundamental Duties and Directive Principles. The Constitution not only grants equality to women, but also empowers the State to adopt measures of positive discrimination in favour of women.

National Policy (NPE) 1986

on

Education

The National Policy on Education (NPE) adopted by Parliament in 1986 lays special emphasis on the removal of disparities and to equalize educational opportunity by attending to the specific needs of Girls and Women. The policy envisages that education will be used as an agent of basic change in the status of women. In order to neutralise the accumulated distortions of the past, there will be a well-conceived edge in favour of women. The National Education System will play a positive, interventionist role in the empowerment of women. It will foster the development of new values through redesigned curricula, textbooks, the training and orientation of teachers, decision-makers and administrators, and the active involvement of educational institutions. This will be an act of faith and social engineering. Women' studies will be promoted as a part of various courses and educational

Gender Budgeting
Gender Budgeting is understood as a dissection of the Government budget to establish its genderdifferential impacts and to translate gender commitments into budgetary commitments. Thus Gender Budgeting: Looks at Government budget from a gender perspective to assess how it addresses the needs of women in all sectors. It does not seek to create a separate budget but to provide affirmative action to address the specific needs of women. Gender responsive budgeting initiatives provide a way for assessing the impact of government revenue and expenditure on women.

Annual Report 2008-09

Gender Budgeting and Five-Year Plan

The plan documents have over the years reflected the evolving trends in gender matters. Formal earmarking of funds for women began with the Women's Component Plan. However, gender sensitivity in allocation of resources started with the Seventh Plan. The Approach Paper to the Eleventh Plan clearly states 'gender equity requires adequate provisions to be made in policies and schemes across Ministries and Departments. It also entails strict adherence to gender budgeting across the board.'

National Programme for Girls Education at Elementary Level (NPEGEL)

NPEGEL Scheme is a holistic effort to address obstacles to girls education at the micro level through flexible, decentralized process and decision making. NPEGEL is implemented in Educationally Backward Blocks (EBB) and addresses the needs of girls who are 'in' as well as 'out' of school. NPEGEL also reaches out to girls who are enrolled in school, but do not attend schools regularly.

281

Mahila Samakhya
This programme was started in 1989 to translate the goals enshrined in the NPE into a concrete programme for the education and empowerment of women in rural areas particularly those from socially and economically marginalized groups. The MS programme recognized the centrality of education in empowering women to achieve equality. The Mahila Sanghas or women's collectives at the village level provide the women a space to meet, reflect, ask questions and articulate their thoughts and needs and make informed choices. The MS Societies have been set up in 11 States viz. Andhra Pradesh, Assam, Bihar, Chhattisgarh, Jharkhand, Karnataka, Kerala, Gujarat, Madhya Pradesh, Uttar Pradesh & Uttarakhand. Under the MS programme, Mahila Shikshan Kendras have also been opened to provide condensed courses and to create a cadre of educated and aware women in backward regions. These Kendras provide condensed quality and gender sensitive education to adolescent girls who have never gone to school, school dropouts, and adult women. An amount of Rs.38.00 crore was provided for the financial year 2008-09, out of which Rs.37.81 crore was spent.

Kasturba Gandhi Balika Vidyalaya (KGBV)

The second major initiative in the EBBs is the "Kasturba Gandhi Balika Vidyalaya (KGBV)" Scheme that provides for setting up of residential upper primary schools for girls from SC, ST, OBC and Muslim communities. This scheme targets areas of scattered habitations, where schools are at great distances and are a challenge to the security of girls. This offer compels girls to discontinue their education. KGBV addressed this through setting up residential schools, in the block itself. KGBV scheme very specially targets: Adolescent girls who are unable to go to regular schools. Out of school girls in the 10+ age group who are unable to complete primary school. Younger girls of migratory populations in difficult areas of scattered habitations that do not qualify for primary/upper primary schools.

The KGBV scheme provides for a minimum reservation of 75% seats for girls from SC/ST/OBC and minority communities and 25% to girls from families that live below the poverty line.

literates in the 15-35 age group. The National Literacy Mission (NLM) has always had and will continue to retain a gender focus in its literacy programmes, with greater attention to women from SC, ST and minority groups. Literacy of women and girls is of crucial importance to the issue of gender inequality; Literacy contributes positively to women's empowerment, in terms of selfesteem, economic independence and social emancipation. Participation in adult literacy programmes enables women to gain access to and challenge male domains by, for instance, entering male-dominated areas of work and participating in household finances. Literacy classes also provide women with a social space, away from home. Significant progress has been made in female literacy, which has increased at a faster rate compared to male literacy from 1981 onwards. Consequently, the male-female literacy differential at 26.62 percentage points in 1981 was reduced to 24.84 percentage points in 1991, which has been further reduced to 21.6 percentage in Sl.No. 1. 2. 3. 4.

Summary of important Audit Observations made by the C&AG

Delay in construction of UNESCO house leading to avoidable rental charges. Failure of the Ministry to construct the UNESCO house, for which the land was allotted in 1998, has delayed the project besides avoidable payment of Rs.2.86 crore on account of rent for the hired UNESCO building for the period from Septmber 2001 to July 2007. The Ministry will continue to incur expenditure on account of retnal liability at the rate of Rs.48 lakh per annum till the building is constructed. (Report No. CA 1 of 2008)

Jamia Millia Islamia

Loss due to negligence

Negligent planning and response to the notice by Jamia Millia Islamia in not taking decision to obtain refund of the allotment money from GNIDA even in the face of certainty of forfeiture of deposit of Rs.2.08 crore led to the loss of the entire amount. (Report No. CA 2 of 2008)

construction

of

Failure of the Commissioner, Kendriya Vidyalaya Sangathan to exercise due diligence in ascertaining the feasibility of utilisation of the squash courts and in ensuring compliance to the commitments by SRFI for running the facility before sanctioning the project of construction of squash courts in Kendriya Vidyalayas rendered Rs.1.97 crore spent on their construction unfruitful.

IGNOU did not carry out comprehensive need assessment studies to assess the firm demand before introduction of new programmes resulting in low success rates of new programmes. IGNOU did not carry out regular revision of programmes impacting on the overall quality of prgrammes and resulting in decline in enrolments in some popular programmes.

Gandhi National Open University

There were delays in despatch of study material and declaration of results resulting in inconvenience to students.

Placement services offered by IGNOU were ineffective and could not meet the objective of assisting the students to secure appropriate jobs.

Despite an expenditure of Rs.33.38 crore on setting up and operation of Gyan Vani stations, their utilisation was far below the available programme hours.

Gyan Darshan channels can only be viewed by students in regional and study centers. IGNOU's inability to ensure the telecast of Gyan Darshan channels by popular media service providers resulted in low viewership. Teleconferencing facility has not been utilized to the full extent due to poor response from students and lack of facilities in 1145 study centers.

361

Distance Education Council's (DEC) regulation of Open and Distance Learning (ODL) system in State Open Universities (SOUs) and Correspondence Course Institutes (CCIs) was not effective. Many universities continue to offer programmes to students without getting DEC's approval.

Despite release of grants worth Rs.77.46 crore to 13 State Open Universities and 68 Correspondence Course Institutes, most of the pgrammes of State Open Universities and Coorespondence Course Institutes remained unapproved by DEC.

Execution and expenditure on plan schemes such as establishment of national network of open and distance education, establishment of national center for innovation in distance education and schemes for disadvantaged groups and regions was negligible resulting in non-achievement of objectives.

IGNOU suffered a loss of interest of Rs.3.75 crore due to injudicious investments. (Report No. PA 3 of 2008)

Programme

for

Nutritional Support to Primary Education (Midday Meal Scheme)

Performance audit of Nutritional Support to Primary Education (Midday Meal Scheme)

The Midday Meal Scheme is a laudable programme of the Government of India designed to improve the status of primary education by addressing the societal problems of poverty and hunger. Several improvements have been made in the contents of MDM as the scheme progressed. For instance, in the revised scheme of 2006, the calorie content has been increased from 300 calories to 450 calories and the protein content from 8-12 grams to 12 grams. The performance audit has sought to examine the implementation of the scheme and suggest ways whereby the delivery of the scheme can be improved and direct and indirect outcomes are measured and evaluated. Following are the highlights of the audit findings: Even after more than a decade of running the programme, there is a lack of clarity regarding the objectives to be achieved by the scheme. There was a qualitative shift in the focus of the Scheme in September 2006 from education (with its emphasis on enrolment, learning levels and attendance) to nutrition and health.

Annexure

Ministry had not assessed the impact of the programme in terms of increase in enrolment, attendance and retention levels of children. The data collected from schools selected for audit did not disclose any definite pattern in enrolment, attendance and retention levels of children over the years.

362

The Ministry has been unable to establish a system of reliable data capture and reporting by the states. Many states resorted to over reporting of the enrolment while projecting the requirement of funds. There was no system of cross checking the data of enrolment furnished by the state Government.

One of the objectives of the scheme was to positively impact the nutritional and health levels of primary school children; which was the main objective of the revised scheme in September 2006. The Ministry was yet to collect data on the nutritional status of children covered under the midday meal scheme. Nor were linkages with the Ministry of Health and Family Welfare for the health checks prescribed under the scheme followed up by the Ministry. In most states the children were not administered micro nutrient supplements and de-worming medicines.

The audit of the implementation of the scheme countrywide displayed weak internal controls and monitoring. The provisions for programme evaluation and regular monitoring and inspections in the scheme design, were not effectively followed nor the results analysed for review of errors and introduction of changes on the basis of lessons learnt. The steering and monitoring committees set up by the Ministry to monitor the scheme at national and state level did not meet regularly. While at the national level, the committee met only twice since its inception in 2005 against the scheduled five meetings, the states fared even worse.

In most of the schools sample checked in audit, regular inspections were not carried out to ensure the overall quality of midday meal served and nor were basic records such as issue and receipt of foodgrains, meal quality and evidence of community participation (through village education committees and parent teach associations) maintained.

Audit of the implementation of the scheme in the states disclosed leakages, deficient infrastructure, delayed release of funds and inflated transportation costs etc.

Annual Report 2008-09

The Ministry failed to put in place an effective system to ensure that teachers are not assigned the responsibilities that would interfere with teaching activities. Many instances of the teachers spending considerable teaching time in supervising the cooking and serving of meals were noticed, resulting in loss of teaching hours. (Report No. PA 13 of 2008)
