On comparing the data it can be very well observed that CWSN identified and enrolled in thecategories of HI, OH,MR, MI, MD are very less as compared to that of the census. As such it isproposed to undertake a comprehensive survey of identification of CWSN in UT Chandigarh toensure that all CWSN complete their secondary grades. Moreover the number of enrolled CWSN atElementary level as per UDISE is 4213 whereas at Secondary level it is 1026.Hence, there is a huge gap in the enrollment of CWSN at both the levels. The project is recommended and is clubbed with the project recommended under the project under equity for bringing all out of school children with special focus on CWSN.


12. SMDC’s\Community Mobilization Training under RMSA

Status of SMDCs/SMCs: All together UT is having only 157 government schools by management. 87 schools under the dept. of education, 07 govt. aided and there are no schools under local body and tribal welfare dept. There are 57 un-aided schools in the UT. As reported, all govt. schools are composite hence no standalone schools exist in the UT.

As per UDISE 2014-15, 116 composite schools have SMDCs constituted. However as per norms SMDC training for standalone schools are only funded by RMSA. For composite schools the state is advised to avail funds from SSA.

Proposal for the year 2015-16:

The state has not proposed any activity under RMSA for SMDC training.

Progress: PAB 2014-15 had not approved any training for the UT since there was no standalone school. The UT was advised to integrate SMDCwith SMCs in accordance with the letter of the Ministry dated24.11.2011 and set up the Academic and Building Committees asindicated above.The state has not given any details for progress in the costing sheet against the recommendations.


13. Planning Process

Planning Process & Staffing Management:-

The UT plan mentions that SSA Society is implementing SSA as well as RMSA programme. Therefore, the activated planned under UDISEis also done by the MIS Unit. UT Chandigarh is following U_DISE data capture format. In addition to the above U_DISE training programme was also viewed through EDUSAT at cluster level and District Level.

In accordance to the decentralized planning process the Annual Work Plan & Budget 2015-16 has been framed with special focus on disaggregated target-setting and participatory planning approach which has been projectile under RMSA framework.

In date, Chandigarh, U.T. comprises of 20 clusters (covering all wards and villages) to make planning and implementation effective at grass root level, RMSA follows a bottom up approach. As such for drawing up the AWP&B 2015-16 the process of planning has been initiated from the cluster level.

Decentralization & Consultations:-

Each cluster has constituted planning teams at their level in which adequate representation has been given to all the stake holders i.e. children, parents, teachers, community and NGOs by undertaking Participatory Learning Activity (PLA).

Cluster team consists of a cluster head, cluster coordinators, heads of member schools & senior teachers of the member schools. All the information pertaining to Access, Enrollment, Quality


indicators and data on perception of the community teachers and students are compiled at the cluster level.

Data is processed and analyzed at cluster level for recording the progress made through various interventions and for setting up of achievable targets through ground tested strategies and interventions.

School Improvement Plan:-

UT of Chandigarh developed school improvement plan (SIP) accordingly the annual work plan & budget (AW&B) has been prepared. UT is being asked to submit the SIP format.

Convergence:-

U.T. Chandigarh has close convergence with the Panchayati Raj institutions. This convergence is apparent through the role played by SMCs in making school development plan, organizing various programmes for school students, monitoring special training centers etc.

UT, Chandigarh conducted teacher training programme with the help of State Council of Educational Research and Training (SCERT), sector-32, Regional Institute of English, sector-32 & Urban Resource Centre, sector-20.

Similarly, source & resource material is also developed for students & teachers in collaboration with SCERT , RIE , Chandigarh & colleges of Education

Observation:- The state plans speaks that formation /planning of the Annual

Budget, year 2015-16 was constituted after a number of discussions & deliberations; the purpose was to branch out the bottom up approach.

The state has made an effort to develop AWP&B on the basis UDISE and involved various stakeholders in preparation of the plan as reflected in the plan.

Four planning committees were constituted which helped incorporate a number of inputs & strategies to make it into a broad spectacular plan.

The plan was further discussed with all the stakeholders (Principals, URCCs, CRCCs, and teachers, SMCs etc.) to make the plan & implications more real & practical.


Integration of various schemes is supposed to improve overall quality by focusing on the quality component with equitable approach in respect to learning environment, facilitate the concept building of students and enhance the learning outcome.

The State plan does not tell about integration of ICT in class rooms for enhancement of quality learning.

The outcome of the number of meetings with the committee members, Principals, URCCs, CRCCs, teachers was fruitful as informed in the plan because all avenues right from the grass root level to the administrative prospect were reviewed, re-reviewed & then incorporated to make it a full proof planning process.

14. Management Structure Set Up

Staffing-Set Up

Following are the points related to implementation of RMSA programme in the UT, Chandigarh. AWP&B did not incorporate detail staffing structure of RMSA. Although UT has filled the information’s in the format from which actual position has been highlighted:

UT has registered a separate society for RMSA although it doesn’t work. It is only for the purpose of regulating financial transfers and keeping account separately for the integrated schemes under RMSA so as to ensure smooth accountability.

Observation:

As enumerated that UT, Chandigarh has a separate society by name only, all subsumed schemes under RMSA have been implementing by SSA society since inception of the programme.


There has been no separate set-up of management for the RMSA programme. SSA office has been responsible for all types of implementation at the district and school level.

There is no separate staff working for other scheme like IEDSS, ICT @ School, GH etc. Staffs working for SSA have been assigned additional charge of all these projects under one umbrella of SSA.

All staffs working under SSA are on contractual except SPD, ASPD and account officer who are on deputation. Contractual staffs working for the schemes have been drawing salaries from SSA since the period they joined SSA.

Similar SPD of SSA of state level cadre has been on deputation as a SPD who is wholly responsible for RMSA implementation. No other alternative arrangement has been made in this regard.

Being a small UT MMER budget become difficult for the UT to manage even for the salaries of staff therefor UT is concerned for a separate budget at least under RMSA so as to enable to recruit some staffs exclusively for integrated schemes of RMSA.

Appraisal team support such concerns and hope for the opportunity to be made available by MHRD in near future


15. MIs Report The MI Report of UT is awaited.

16. Appraisal of Documentation Component 2015

Each school needs to share knowledge with its student, staff members and teachers both online /digital mode and manual mode.

For this purpose the state needs to construct equal number of libraries against each government and aided schools as per UDISE code.

The UT should appoint equal number of librarians, 1 per school both in the government and aided schools.

Without appointing librarians, the purpose of the construction of libraries will not be served. At the same time, the state should provide professional training program time to time to the school librarians because at secondary stage where the students are going ahead of their carrier path the proper collection and well-guided resource will help them to improve their learning capabilities.

Therefore it is advised that the UT must maintain a core quality collection of both digital /online documents and physical documents with a trained librarian to guide the student for improving their knowledge.

The UT needs to furnish detail about Newspapers and magazines.

Besides the core collection, other general (fiction and nonfiction) books for regular issue should be available in the library.

Library collections are dynamic resources and therefore, there should be Constant review and renewal of material to ensure that the collections are relevant to the user’s stakeholders.

The core collection of the library should take into account the size of the Schools and subjects offered besides covering project based activities, career guidance, counseling etc.

Books should be available in both English and Hindi and other regional languages. .

Besides books, libraries should subscribe to useful magazines, periodicals, and journals.


The librarian should manage the library and the duties of the librarian will include all the day today maintenance of the library with well guided weekly time table and help the staff and students regarding the use of library collection.
