Basic Facilities in Government Schools

Under Sarva Shiksha Abhiyan (SSA) scheme 3.11 lakh school buildings, 18.61 lakh additional classrooms, 2.38 lakh drinking water facilities, 19.48 lakh teachers posts and 10.14 lakh toilets (including toilets approved under Swachh Vidyalaya Initiative) have been sanctioned so far since the inception of the scheme in 2001 across States and UTs till September 30th, 2015. As per Unified District Information System for Education (UDISE) 2013-14, the drinking water facilities, ramps, boundary wall, playground, library and electricity facilities are available in 94.14%, 64.94%, 56.98%, 51.89%, 78.29% and 48.86% of schools respectively.

The Government of India financially supports States and Union Territories (UTs), for creation and improvement of infrastructural facilities in schools across the country under the SSA programme. The requirements of infrastructural facilities in schools are worked out every year by the respective State/Union Territory on incremental basis depending on their need and priority and this is reflected in their Annual Work Plan and Budget (AWP&B).

As per UDISE, the enrolment figures at elementary level in Government schools during 2011-12, 2012-13 and 2013-14 were 12.94 crore, 12.50 crore and 12.20 crore respectively.
