UTILISATION OF FUNDS
Recently the Minister for Education, Social Welfare and Health and Medical Education chaired a meeting to review the performance of Samagra Shiksha.
She took detailed assessment of ongoing works of Samagra Shiksha under different components. She also took a detailed appraisal of the forthcoming plan for the year 2025-26.
She called upon the officers for proper utilisation of funds, besides maintaining quality of works. She directed them for strict adherence of existing tendering protocols and maintaining transparency in allotting tenders. She also asked them to give a chance for local vendors in executing works under Samagra Shiksha through proper tenders.
She directed the officers that the agencies which failed to complete works in previous years on a timely basis, shouldn’t be re-allotted any kind of works afresh. She further directed the officers to submit a detailed report on tenders allotted in the last some years in order to detect the wrongs committed and the same can be corrected.
She impressed upon the officers for proper coordination of both the directors as well as project director in order to achieve the objectives. She highlighted that the foundational literacy, infrastructure development, and digital learning outreach can be maximised through the intervention of Samagra Shiksha.
