Rashtriya Madhyamik Shiksha Abhiyan
The RMSA guidelines provide for augmenting secondary school infrastructure through, inter-alia, construction of additional class rooms, laboratories, toilet blocks, drinking water, libraries etc.However due to existing committed liabilities as against sanctions issued upto 2011-12, approvals by the Central Government to States for 2012-13 have been limited to recurring interventions.
The Central Government had received proposals from the States of Jammu & Kashmir, Karnataka, Madhya Pradesh and Nagaland for setting up of 1176 secondary schools under the Rashtriya Madhyamik Shiksha Abhiyan (RMSA) in 2012-13. However, due to existing committed liabilities against proposals sanctioned upto 2011-12, no fresh proposals for setting up of secondary schools were taken up for consideration and approval by the Government of India in 2012-13.
The Centrally Sponsored Scheme of Rashtriya Madhyamik Shiksha Abhiyan (RMSA) has prescribed norms that are same for all the States /Union Territories (UTs) in the country. The funds are provided to States/ UTs under RMSA based on the Annual Work Plan & Budget proposals submitted by States/UTs and appraised for their eligibility as per Scheme norms by Government of India. State/UT proposals vary depending on state specific requirements.

(d) & (e) Grant-in-aid schools are assisted under RMSA only for in-service training of teachers.

National Literacy Mission
Since the launch of Saakshar Bharat, the new variant of the National Literacy Mission, in September 2009, the Mission has been sanctioned in 372 districts and its functioning is reviewed periodically. As per the recent review held in November 2012, the functioning of the programme in Haryana, Jammu & Kashmir, Madhya Pradesh, Punjab, Odisha and Uttar Pradesh has been found to be below par.
The Planning Commission has recommended that the mandate of existing programme structures, including the National Literacy Mission Authority at the apex level, the State Literacy Mission Authorities at the State level and the Lok Shiksha Samitis at the District, Block and the Gram Panchayat levels, as well as the resource support bodies, would be remodeled, strengthened and aligned to lifelong learning and literacy. In addition, the active involvement of public authorities at all administrative levels, civil society, the private sector, community and adult learners’ organisations in the development, implementation & evaluation of adult learning & education programmes would be obtained.
The time by which 100 percent literacy is likely to be achieved is not fixed.
Setting up of model schools
The centrally sponsored scheme to set up 6,000 model schools at the rate of one school per block was launched in November 2008. Out of these, 3,500 schools are to be set up in educationally backward blocks (EBBs) through State/UT Governments and the remaining 2,500 schools are to be set up under the Public-Private Partnership (PPP) mode in blocks which are not educationally backward.
Under the State sector component of the scheme, proposals to set up model schools in 2,973 blocks have been received from 24 States/UTs till 30.11.2012. Out of these, model schools in 2,266 blocks covering 22 States have been approved. Financial sanctions amounting to Rs. 2,110.80 crore have been accorded for setting up 1,880 model schools in 21 States. 473 model schools have so far become functional in 8 States. Implementation of the PPP component of the Model School Scheme has been initiated from 2012-13 and proposals have since been received in response to the Request for Qualification(RFQ) to pre-qualify the private entities for this purpose .
Kasturba Gandhi Balika Vidyalayas
The Kasturba Gandhi Balika Vidyalayas (KGBVs) are sanctioned in Educationally Backward Blocks (EBBs) with rural female literacy below the national average as per Census 2001, provided such residential schools are set up only in those EBBs which do not have a residential school at upper primary level for girls under any other scheme of the Ministry of Social Justice & Empowerment or the Ministry of Tribal Affairs. As on 30-09-2012, 9.18% of the girls enrolled in KGBVs are from the minority community. Socio-economic reasons and reluctance of the community to send girls to residential schools are the main reasons for low enrolment amongst educationally backward minorities. In order to promote elementary education amongst girls interalia, opening of schools in the neighbourhood to make access easier for girls, appointment of additional teachers including women teachers, free textbooks, free uniforms, separate toilets for girls, mid-day meal programme to improve nutrition levels, early childhood care and education centres in/near schools in convergence with ICDS programme, gender sensitization of teachers, gender-sensitive teaching-learning materials and intensive community mobilization efforts to promote girls education, are being undertaken by the Government.

In 2010-11 and 2011-12, 999 and 31 proposals respectively, were received and all were sanctioned by the Government of India. In the current year, of the 34 proposals received, only 09 were sanctioned because of a backlog of incomplete KGBVs in several states
