PART IV Commitment and action taken against the minutes of Secretarys review meeting

Sl No CommitmentAction taken 1 The State yet to open 708 Primary schools sanctioned in the previous years. In the meeting, the State had committed to open 132 Primary schools by 31 st December, 2013 and also to send a proposal for reallocation of balance lapsed after the meeting, this proposal has not been received. Out of the sanction for opening of 9483 Primary schools in the State 8946 new Primary schools have been opened and 537 schools yet to be opened in the districts where there was such sanctions due to non-feasibility of opening of new schools, it is being proposed to re- allocate this sanction to other district where there is need of opening of new primary school. In this connection, re-appropriation proposal has been sent to MHRD for approval. 2 There is a gap of 1438 Upper Primary schools sanctioned in previous years which have not been operationalised. The state had committed in the meeting that 415 of these Upper Primary schools will be started within one month, proposals for reallocation of307 to districts where they are actually needed will be sent to the Ministry and the position of the remaining 716 Upper Primary schools would be clear by December, 2012 and will be communicated to the Ministry. There is sanction for opening of 11321 Upper Primary Schools, out of which, 10797 schools have been upgraded to Upper Primary school leaving a balance of 524. Gradually these schools will be opened depending on the enrolment and conforming to the sate norm.

Sl NoCommitmentAction taken 3 610 Primary schools have been under construction since long and civil works for 1394 Primary schools sanctioned in previous years have not yet been started. The State committed to completing works-in-progress, by March, 2013 and the unstarted works by June, 2013.The state had also committed that all sanctions relating to Drinking water, ramps and toilets would be completed by March, 2013.As there is a large gap in respect of toilets in rural areas, the state had assured that convergence activity would be taken up with Department of Drinking water and sanitation. The progress of civil works in some district was comparatively slow owing to the dispute at SMC level and difficulty in procurement of materials in hilly areas However, the situation has improved in the mean time and the latest position of civil works is given bellow. 7337 out of 8728 NPS completed 7912 against 6472 NUPS completed. 48921 against 62239 ACR completed. 10621 against 14601 ACR-Class-VIII completed. 661 against 2705 HM-P room completed. 485 against 2315 HM-UP room completed. 49 against 316 BRC training hall completed. 6273 against 9879 Toilet completed. 20596 against 39777 Girls Toilet completed. 16064 against 31773 CWSN friendly Toilet completed. 5745 against 7159 Water facility completed. Convergence activity has been taken up with the Department of Rural Development to cover all the schools by providing toilet and drinking water in rural areas. 4 There was a shortage in release of SSA State share and the Annual Report for 2011-12 has not been received by the Ministry though the due date elapsed. The short fall of Rs. 37.81 crores from the state share was released by Government of Odisha on dated 07.01.2013. We had also moved to Government of India for release of consequent installment vides letter no. 418, dt. 15.01.2013, no. 1498 dt. 21.02.2013 and No.2295 dt. 16.03.2013. Despite repeated persuasion, there was no further release of installment from Govt. of India and even 13 th Finance Commission Award of Rs.204 crores has also not been received by the State. This has created a heavy financial crunch in implementation of different schemes under SSA. In order to meet the exigency, the State Govt. had to release Rs.162.19 crores in advance in anticipation of receipt of balance allotment from Govt. of India. The Annual report for 2011-12 after approval by the Executive Committee of SSA has been sent to MHRD in the meantime.

Sl No CommitmentAction taken 5 Against a total teacher sanction of 92,337 under SSA, 73,922 had been recruited and recruitment of 8000 was expected shortly and the other 13,000, thereafter. The State had also assured undertaking a redeployment exercise of teachers as per PTR. Against the total sanction of 92,337 teachers under SSA, the present strength is 79,936 after recruitment of 14768 teachers in 2012-13.The Govt. is taking steps for recruitment of teachers to fill up the vacancy. Re-deployment of teachers was undertaken so as to rationalize the position of teachers at the Schools as per the RTE norms. 6 Of the total 16,136 untrained teachers 8,000 had been enrolled with SCERT, 6120 with NIOS and remaining 1353 were expected to be enrolled with NIOS. Out of 16,136 untrained teachers, 14074 teachers have been enrolled with SCERT under DEP. The remaining 2,062 teachers do not have minimum academic qualification to undertake training.
