2. A list of the participants is attached at Annexure_f.

3' secretary (sE&L) welcomed all the participants and in her opening remarks appreciated theefforts of the States/urs and the overall progress under RMSA. However, indicating to the currentoverall outstanding committed liabilities of ( 7890.g7 lakh under non-recurring civil works, sheexpressed concern over the general backlog of civil works in NCT of Delhi and slow progress incompleting these works which significantly limits the capacity of NCT-of Delhi- to upgrade. newschools.

She referred to the swachh vidyalaya initiative and underlined the need' for ensuringcompletion of all the toilets sanctioned under RMSA, expeditiously. She noted that the construction oftoilets approved during special PABs held in November-December, 2014 (tofill in the gaps indicatedas per UDISE 2013)' and for which the central Share of non-recurring grant has arready been released,has to be completed by the concemed States/UTs by May,2015. She advised that gaps of toilets, if

any, in the govt. secondary schools, based on UDISE 2014, should be included by the StatesAJTs in

their AWP&B proposals for 2015-16.

On interventions focussed on quality, she shared with the States the initiative being taken under

Rashtriya Avishkar Abhiyan and the need for States to synergise and enhance their efforts towards

impacting the overall quality of Science and Maths education in secondary schools including building

capacity of Maths and Science teachers.

She also shared about the initiative of 'Kala Utsav', a national event that would build on

State's current activities to promote and encburage local arts and cultural heritage amongst its

students. This would be steered by NCERT in coordination with States and a specific line item with

funds being earmarked in the current plan approvals. Detailed note on 'Kala Utsav' has already been

shared with States separately. (Annexure-Vl)

She reiterated the need for States to ensure appointment of secondary school teachers with

prescribed(by NCTE) qualifications only, as any gap in this regard is bound to have an adverse impact

on the quality of secondary education. She noted that support under RMSA would be conditioned

upgn State's adherence to these basic norms.

While expressing her concern over quality of inclusion Chairperson stressed the need of the

State to pay more attention to availability and support of special educators, identification of CWSN

and focussed support to their learning needs.

It was also informed that NUEPA has developed a framework of national School Standards

and Evaluation, that aims to bring out key facets of school standards, and its evaluation for further

school improvement. Funds are being provisioned for a 3 day orientation workshop oj educational

administrators both at district and state level, on the framework and its_ implementation. NUEPA has

been requested to develop a module that can be used by the Sfates to condirct the orientation

workshop. It is also important that selection of first set of these educdtional adniihistrators for this

workshop is done in a manner so as to ensure that they in turn are able to conduct further sensitization

of their teams.

implementation, planning and monitoring of RMSA in Delhi. (Annexure-Il). The Government of

annual event - Kala Utsav

"Rashtriya Madhyamik Shiksha Mission recognizes the importance of aesthetics and artistic

exp'eriences for secondary level children, especially in view of the role that such experiences can play

in creating awareness of India's cultural heritage and its vibrant diversity".

In the context of education of arts (music, theatre, visual arts and dance) and heritage crafts, the

Mission is guided by the recommendations of the National Focus Groups on these subjects and the

report of the CABE Committee on Culture. The syllabus for arts developed by NCERT should be

foilowed and teachers who have been appropriately trained should be appointed for art education. Artis to be treated as a part of the curriculum and not as an extra-curricular activity. As recommended by

NCF-2005, art education must become both a tool for the enrichment of learning in all subjects, and

also as a subject in its own which is taught in eveiy school up to class X and facilities for the same

may be provided in every school." (RMSA Framework)

Performing arts have a key place in this context, especially when there is an attempt to bring together

the mind and the body, aesthetically while imbibing and carrying forward the rich and great art forms

of this diverse country.

In the six years of RMSA implementation, few StatesAJTs have been organizing Annual Art and

Literary Competitions and Festivals at the School, District and State/UT level. Such an

initiative in Kerala (Kalloltasavam), includes promotion of Classical Dance forms of Kuchipuddi,

Monhiniattam, kathakali, Bharatnatyam, as well as traditional performing arts like Thiruvathirakali,

Oppana, Margamkali, Yakshaganam, lnstrumental classical and folk music, etc. ln addition, literary

activities like Story Writing, Art Competition (Drawing and Painting) are also held, in which

outstanding and high quality performances are selected for competing at a higher level, ending with

the selection of the best performances at the State/UT level during the week long School Art Festival.

Kala Utsav:

With the objective of encouraging such initiatives across all Statep/UTs and to promote and

showcasing such promising talents at the National stage, an annual- event dt the National level,

Kala Utsav is proposed to be organised. The event shall focus on performing arts - darlce, music

and theatre

This event will be the culmination of activities that will begin with schools conducting and identifying

talents to represent it at District level, and the District to the StateAJT.

The shortlisted schools will represent States/UTs at the National event and exhibit their talent in three

main art forms: Dance. Music and Theatre. Since it is a school based activity, focus and

preference will be for group presentations, over individual talents.

ImplementationAs part of the RMSA interventions, States/UTs shall be supported (through NCERT), in
