Samagra Shiksha and other schemes

Samagra Shiksha

Launched in 2018, it combines three earlier schemes (Sarva Shiksha Abhiyan, Rashtriya Madhyamik Shiksha Abhiyan and Teacher Education) into one programme covering school education from pre-school to Class 12. It supports access, equity, quality, inclusive education, girls’ education and teacher training.

Other schemes

• PM POSHAN (formerly the Midday Meal Scheme): hot cooked meals in government and aided schools.
• Kasturba Gandhi Balika Vidyalayas (KGBV): residential schools for girls from disadvantaged groups.
• NIPUN Bharat (2021): foundational literacy and numeracy by Grade 3.
• Beti Bachao Beti Padhao (2015): girl child protection and education.
• PM SHRI schools: model schools showcasing NEP 2020.

NEP 2020 groups disadvantaged learners as SEDGs (Socio-Economically Disadvantaged Groups).
