The disparity across states is now very wide, with some paying only the central floor while others pay several times that amount from their own resources.<\/span>\r\n <span class=\"hi\">\u0930\u0938\u094b\u0907\u092f\u093e-\u0938\u0939-\u0938\u0939\u093e\u092f\u0915 \u092e\u093e\u0928\u0926\u0947\u092f \u0915\u093e \u0915\u0947\u0902\u0926\u094d\u0930\u0940\u092f \u0905\u0902\u0936 <b>\u0926\u093f\u0938\u092e\u094d\u092c\u0930 2009<\/b> \u0938\u0947 <b>₹1,000<\/b> \u092a\u094d\u0930\u0924\u093f \u092e\u093e\u0939 \u092a\u0930 \u0938\u094d\u0925\u093f\u0930 \u0939\u0948, \u091c\u094b \u0935\u0930\u094d\u0937 \u092e\u0947\u0902 \u0926\u0938 \u092e\u093e\u0939 \u0926\u0947\u092f \u0939\u0948, \u091c\u092c\u0915\u093f \u0938\u093e\u092e\u0917\u094d\u0930\u0940 \u0932\u093e\u0917\u0924 \u092e\u0947\u0902 \u092e\u0941\u0926\u094d\u0930\u093e\u0938\u094d\u092b\u0940\u0924\u093f \u0915\u0947 \u0915\u093e\u0930\u0923 \u092c\u093e\u0930-\u092c\u093e\u0930 \u0938\u0902\u0936\u094b\u0927\u0928 \u0939\u0941\u0906 \u0939\u0948\u0964 \u0936\u093f\u0915\u094d\u0937\u093e \u092e\u0902\u0924\u094d\u0930\u093e\u0932\u092f \u0915\u0947 \u0938\u0941\u091d\u093e\u0935 \u0906\u092e\u0902\u0924\u094d\u0930\u0923 \u092a\u0930 \u0909\u0924\u094d\u0924\u0930 \u0926\u0947\u0928\u0947 \u0935\u093e\u0932\u0947 \u092c\u093e\u0908\u0938 \u0930\u093e\u091c\u094d\u092f\u094b\u0902 \u090f\u0935\u0902 \u0938\u0902\u0918 \u0930\u093e\u091c\u094d\u092f\u0915\u094d\u0937\u0947\u0924\u094d\u0930\u094b\u0902 \u0928\u0947 \u0938\u0902\u092f\u0941\u0915\u094d\u0924 \u0930\u0942\u092a \u0938\u0947 \u0938\u0902\u0936\u094b\u0927\u0928 \u092e\u093e\u0901\u0917\u093e \u0939\u0948\u0964 \u092a\u0942\u0930\u094d\u0935\u094b\u0924\u094d\u0924\u0930 \u0915\u0947 \u0938\u0902\u0918\u094b\u0902 \u0928\u0947 \u0915\u0947\u0902\u0926\u094d\u0930\u0940\u092f \u0905\u0902\u0936 \u092c\u0922\u093c\u093e\u0915\u0930 <b>₹9,000<\/b> \u0915\u0930\u0928\u0947 \u0915\u0940 \u092e\u093e\u0901\u0917 \u0915\u0940 \u0939\u0948 \u0924\u0925\u093e \u0915\u094d\u0930\u093f\u092f\u093e\u0928\u094d\u0935\u092f\u0928 \u0930\u094b\u0915\u0928\u0947 \u0915\u0940 \u091a\u0947\u0924\u093e\u0935\u0928\u0940 \u0926\u0940 \u0939\u0948; \u0930\u093e\u091c\u094d\u092f \u0935\u093f\u0927\u093e\u0928\u092e\u0902\u0921\u0932\u094b\u0902 \u0915\u094b \u092c\u0924\u093e\u092f\u093e \u0917\u092f\u093e \u0939\u0948 \u0915\u093f \u092f\u0939 \u092e\u093e\u0901\u0917 \u0915\u093e\u0930\u094d\u092f\u0915\u094d\u0930\u092e \u0905\u0928\u0941\u092e\u094b\u0926\u0928 \u092c\u094b\u0930\u094d\u0921 \u092e\u0947\u0902 \u0930\u0916\u0940 \u0917\u0908 \u0914\u0930 \u0907\u0938 \u0906\u0927\u093e\u0930 \u092a\u0930 \u0905\u0938\u094d\u0935\u0940\u0915\u0943\u0924 \u0939\u0941\u0908 \u0915\u093f \u0926\u0930 \u0930\u093e\u0937\u094d\u091f\u094d\u0930\u0940\u092f \u0938\u094d\u0924\u0930 \u092a\u0930 \u090f\u0915\u0938\u092e\u093e\u0928 \u0939\u0948 \u0914\u0930 \u0915\u093f\u0938\u0940 \u090f\u0915 \u0930\u093e\u091c\u094d\u092f \u0939\u0947\u0924\u0941 \u0905\u0932\u0917 \u0938\u0947 \u0928\u0939\u0940\u0902 \u092c\u0922\u093c\u093e\u0908 \u091c\u093e \u0938\u0915\u0924\u0940\u0964 \u0930\u093e\u091c\u094d\u092f\u094b\u0902 \u0915\u0947 \u092c\u0940\u091a \u0905\u0902\u0924\u0930 \u0905\u092c \u092c\u0939\u0941\u0924 \u0935\u094d\u092f\u093e\u092a\u0915 \u0939\u0948 — \u0915\u0941\u091b \u0915\u0947\u0935\u0932 \u0915\u0947\u0902\u0926\u094d\u0930\u0940\u092f \u0928\u094d\u092f\u0942\u0928\u0924\u092e \u0926\u0947\u0924\u0947 \u0939\u0948\u0902, \u091c\u092c\u0915\u093f \u0905\u0928\u094d\u092f \u0905\u092a\u0928\u0947 \u0938\u0902\u0938\u093e\u0927\u0928\u094b\u0902 \u0938\u0947 \u0909\u0938\u0915\u093e \u0915\u0908 \u0917\u0941\u0928\u093e\u0964<\/span>\r\n <\/p>\r\n\r\n <h4><span class=\"en\">Funds released, funds spent<\/span><span class=\"hi\">15.2 \u0928\u093f\u0930\u094d\u0917\u092e\u093f\u0924 \u0928\u093f\u0927\u093f, \u0935\u094d\u092f\u092f\u093f\u0924 \u0928\u093f\u0927\u093f<\/span><\/h4>\r\n <ul class=\"icon-list\">\r\n <li><span class=\"ico\">\ud83d\udcb0<\/span><span><span class=\"en\">Releases have persistently fallen short of budget estimates.

schools. The scheme names the elements specifically: solar panels and LED lighting, nutrition gardens cultivated with natural farming, waste management, plastic-free campuses, water conservation and rainwater harvesting, and the study of traditions and practices related to protection of the environment and climate change. The environmental component is therefore both a physical retrofit and a curricular one, which is why it appears in questions on environmental education rather than only on infrastructure.<\/span>\r\n

statistic, not a learning statistic. It records that a course was enrolled in and finished, on a platform, within a window. It does not record whether the classroom changed. The cascade model compounds the difficulty: what a National Resource Person conveys to a state group is not necessarily what reaches a teacher three transfers later, and moving the course online solved the reach problem without solving the transfer-loss problem.

The index measures the system it can see.<\/span><span class=\"hi\">\u0935\u093e\u0938\u094d\u0924\u0935\u093f\u0915 \u0938\u0940\u092e\u093e \u0905\u0928\u094d\u092f\u0924\u094d\u0930 \u0939\u0948\u0964 \u092a\u094d\u0930\u0924\u094d\u092f\u0947\u0915 \u0938\u0942\u091a\u0915 \u0910\u0938\u0947 \u092a\u094b\u0930\u094d\u091f\u0932 \u0938\u0947 \u0906\u0924\u093e \u0939\u0948 \u091c\u093f\u0938\u0947 \u0915\u093f\u0938\u0940 \u0915\u094b \u092d\u0930\u0928\u093e \u092a\u0921\u093c\u0924\u093e \u0939\u0948, \u0905\u0924\u0903 \u0930\u093e\u091c\u094d\u092f \u0915\u093e \u0936\u094d\u0930\u0947\u0923\u0940\u0915\u0930\u0923 \u0906\u0902\u0936\u093f\u0915 \u0930\u0942\u092a \u0938\u0947 \u0909\u0938\u0915\u0940 \u0905\u092a\u0928\u0940 \u0930\u093f\u092a\u094b\u0930\u094d\u091f\u093f\u0902\u0917 \u0915\u0940 \u092a\u0942\u0930\u094d\u0923\u0924\u093e \u092a\u0930 \u0939\u094b\u0924\u093e \u0939\u0948\u0964 \u091c\u094b \u0930\u093e\u091c\u094d\u092f \u0908\u092e\u093e\u0928\u0926\u093e\u0930\u0940 \u0915\u093f\u0902\u0924\u0941 \u0905\u092a\u0942\u0930\u094d\u0923\u0924\u093e \u0938\u0947 \u0930\u093f\u092a\u094b\u0930\u094d\u091f \u0915\u0930\u0924\u093e \u0939\u0948 \u0935\u0939 \u0909\u0938\u0938\u0947 \u0928\u0940\u091a\u0947 \u0930\u0939 \u0938\u0915\u0924\u093e \u0939\u0948 \u091c\u094b \u092a\u0930\u093f\u0936\u094d\u0930\u092e \u090f\u0935\u0902 \u0909\u0926\u093e\u0930\u0924\u093e \u0938\u0947 \u0930\u093f\u092a\u094b\u0930\u094d\u091f \u0915\u0930\u0924\u093e \u0939\u0948, \u0914\u0930 \u0938\u0942\u091a\u0915\u093e\u0902\u0915 \u0915\u0947 \u092d\u0940\u0924\u0930 \u0915\u093f\u0924\u0928\u093e \u092d\u0940 \u092d\u093e\u0930-\u0938\u092e\u093e\u092f\u094b\u091c\u0928 \u0907\u0938\u0947 \u0920\u0940\u0915 \u0928\u0939\u0940\u0902 \u0915\u0930\u0924\u093e\u0964 \u0938\u0942\u091a\u0915\u093e\u0902\u0915 \u0909\u0938\u0940 \u092a\u094d\u0930\u0923\u093e\u0932\u0940 \u0915\u094b \u092e\u093e\u092a\u0924\u093e \u0939\u0948 \u091c\u093f\u0938\u0947 \u0935\u0939 \u0926\u0947\u0916 \u0938\u0915\u0924\u093e \u0939\u0948\u0964<\/span><\/p>\r\n <\/div>\r\n\r\n <hr class=\"section-divider\">\r\n\r\n <div class=\"section-heading-block\" id=\"dm-vsk\">\r\n <span class=\"section-badge\">66<\/span>\r\n <h3><span class=\"en\">Vidya Samiksha Kendra<\/span><span class=\"hi\">\u0935\u093f\u0926\u094d\u092f\u093e \u0938\u092e\u0940\u0915\u094d\u0937\u093e \u0915\u0947\u0902\u0926\u094d\u0930<\/span><\/h3>\r\n <\/div>\r\n\r\n <p><span class=\"en\">A report published once a year cannot correct a school this year.

ULLAS shifts the test to functional competence, which is why life skills, and not only the alphabet, are written into the scheme itself.<\/span><span class=\"hi\"><strong><\/strong> — \u0938\u093e\u0915\u094d\u0937\u0930\u0924\u093e \u0915\u0940 \u092a\u0930\u093f\u092d\u093e\u0937\u093e \u0915\u094d\u092f\u094b\u0902 \u092c\u0926\u0932\u0940 \u091c\u0928\u0917\u0923\u0928\u093e \u0909\u0938 \u092a\u094d\u0930\u0924\u094d\u092f\u0947\u0915 \u0935\u094d\u092f\u0915\u094d\u0924\u093f \u0915\u094b \u0938\u093e\u0915\u094d\u0937\u0930 \u0917\u093f\u0928\u0924\u0940 \u0939\u0948 \u091c\u094b \u0938\u093e\u0924 \u0935\u0930\u094d\u0937 \u092f\u093e \u0909\u0938\u0938\u0947 \u0905\u0927\u093f\u0915 \u0906\u092f\u0941 \u0915\u093e \u0939\u094b \u0914\u0930 \u0915\u093f\u0938\u0940 \u092d\u093e\u0937\u093e \u092e\u0947\u0902 \u0938\u092e\u091d \u0915\u0947 \u0938\u093e\u0925 \u092a\u0922\u093c-\u0932\u093f\u0916 \u0938\u0915\u0947\u0964 \u092f\u0939 \u092a\u0930\u093f\u092d\u093e\u0937\u093e \u0909\u0938 \u0926\u0947\u0936 \u0915\u0947 \u0915\u093e\u092e \u0906\u0908 \u091c\u094b \u092c\u0941\u0928\u093f\u092f\u093e\u0926\u0940 \u0935\u093f\u0926\u094d\u092f\u093e\u0932\u092f\u0940 \u0936\u093f\u0915\u094d\u0937\u093e \u0938\u094d\u0925\u093e\u092a\u093f\u0924 \u0915\u0930\u0928\u0947 \u0915\u093e \u092a\u094d\u0930\u092f\u093e\u0938 \u0915\u0930 \u0930\u0939\u093e \u0925\u093e\u0964 \u092f\u0939 \u0928\u0939\u0940\u0902 \u092c\u0924\u093e\u0924\u0940 \u0915\u093f \u0915\u094b\u0908 \u0935\u092f\u0938\u094d\u0915 \u092c\u0948\u0902\u0915 \u0915\u093e \u092a\u094d\u0930\u0930\u0942\u092a \u092a\u0922\u093c \u0938\u0915\u0924\u093e \u0939\u0948, \u092a\u0930\u094d\u091a\u0940 \u0938\u092e\u091d \u0938\u0915\u0924\u093e \u0939\u0948 \u0905\u0925\u0935\u093e \u0921\u093f\u091c\u093f\u091f\u0932 \u092d\u0941\u0917\u0924\u093e\u0928 \u092a\u0942\u0930\u093e \u0915\u0930 \u0938\u0915\u0924\u093e \u0939\u0948 \u092f\u093e \u0928\u0939\u0940\u0902\u0964 \u0909\u0932\u094d\u0932\u093e\u0938 \u0915\u0938\u094c\u091f\u0940 \u0915\u094b \u0915\u093e\u0930\u094d\u092f\u093e\u0924\u094d\u092e\u0915 \u0926\u0915\u094d\u0937\u0924\u093e \u092a\u0930 \u0932\u0947 \u091c\u093e\u0924\u093e \u0939\u0948, \u0907\u0938\u0940\u0932\u093f\u090f \u092f\u094b\u091c\u0928\u093e \u092e\u0947\u0902 \u0915\u0947\u0935\u0932 \u0935\u0930\u094d\u0923\u092e\u093e\u0932\u093e \u0928\u0939\u0940\u0902, \u091c\u0940\u0935\u0928 \u0915\u094c\u0936\u0932 \u092d\u0940 \u0932\u093f\u0916\u0947 \u0917\u090f \u0939\u0948\u0902\u0964<\/span><\/div>\r\n <\/div>\r\n <hr class=\"section-divider\">\r\n\r\n <div class=\"section-heading-block\" id=\"ul-flnat\">\r\n <span class=\"section-badge\">73<\/span>\r\n <h3><span class=\"en\">FLNAT, Certification and Full Literacy<\/span><span class=\"hi\">\u090f\u092b\u090f\u0932\u090f\u0928\u090f\u091f\u0940, \u092a\u094d\u0930\u092e\u093e\u0923\u0928 \u090f\u0935\u0902 \u092a\u0942\u0930\u094d\u0923 \u0938\u093e\u0915\u094d\u0937\u0930\u0924\u093e<\/span><\/h3>\r\n <\/div>\r\n\r\n <ul class=\"icon-list\">\r\n <li><span class=\"ico\">\u2696\ufe0f<\/span><span><span class=\"en\"><b>The test.<\/b> Learners are assessed through the Foundational Literacy and Numeracy Assessment Test, a 150-mark examination covering reading, writing and numeracy, taken in the learner’s preferred language and conducted twice a year.<\/span><span class=\"hi\"><b>\u092a\u0930\u0940\u0915\u094d\u0937\u093e\u0964<\/b> \u0936\u093f\u0915\u094d\u0937\u093e\u0930\u094d\u0925\u093f\u092f\u094b\u0902 \u0915\u093e \u0906\u0915\u0932\u0928 \u0906\u0927\u093e\u0930\u092d\u0942\u0924 \u0938\u093e\u0915\u094d\u0937\u0930\u0924\u093e \u090f\u0935\u0902 \u0938\u0902\u0916\u094d\u092f\u093e-\u091c\u094d\u091e\u093e\u0928 \u0906\u0915\u0932\u0928 \u092a\u0930\u0940\u0915\u094d\u0937\u093e \u0938\u0947 \u0939\u094b\u0924\u093e \u0939\u0948, \u091c\u094b \u092a\u0922\u093c\u0928\u0947, \u0932\u093f\u0916\u0928\u0947 \u090f\u0935\u0902 \u0938\u0902\u0916\u094d\u092f\u093e-\u091c\u094d\u091e\u093e\u0928 \u0915\u094b \u0906\u091a\u094d\u091b\u093e\u0926\u093f\u0924 \u0915\u0930\u0928\u0947 \u0935\u093e\u0932\u0940 <b>150 \u0905\u0902\u0915<\/b>\u094b\u0902 \u0915\u0940 \u092a\u0930\u0940\u0915\u094d\u0937\u093e \u0939\u0948, \u091c\u094b \u0936\u093f\u0915\u094d\u0937\u093e\u0930\u094d\u0925\u0940 \u0915\u0940 \u092a\u0938\u0902\u0926\u0940\u0926\u093e \u092d\u093e\u0937\u093e \u092e\u0947\u0902 \u0935\u0930\u094d\u0937 \u092e\u0947\u0902 \u0926\u094b \u092c\u093e\u0930 \u0906\u092f\u094b\u091c\u093f\u0924 \u0939\u094b\u0924\u0940 \u0939\u0948\u0964<\/span><\/span><\/li>\r\n <li><span class=\"ico\">\ud83d\udc69\u200d\ud83c\udf73<\/span><span><span class=\"en\"><b>The certificate.<\/b> Those who pass are certified by the National Institute of Open Schooling as having attained foundational literacy and numeracy.

The case is instructive precisely because Sikkim is India’s least populated State: saturation is achievable where the denominator is small, and the harder question is what the same method costs in Uttar Pradesh or Bihar.<\/span>\r\n <span class=\"hi\">\u0938\u093f\u0915\u094d\u0915\u093f\u092e \u0915\u094b <b>27 \u092e\u0908 2026<\/b> \u0915\u094b <b>99.82 \u092a\u094d\u0930\u0924\u093f\u0936\u0924<\/b> \u0938\u093e\u0915\u094d\u0937\u0930\u0924\u093e \u0926\u0930 \u0915\u0947 \u0938\u093e\u0925 \u092a\u0942\u0930\u094d\u0923 \u0938\u093e\u0915\u094d\u0937\u0930 \u0918\u094b\u0937\u093f\u0924 \u0915\u093f\u092f\u093e \u0917\u092f\u093e, \u091c\u093f\u0938\u0915\u0940 \u0918\u094b\u0937\u0923\u093e \u0938\u093f\u0915\u094d\u0915\u093f\u092e \u0935\u093f\u0936\u094d\u0935\u0935\u093f\u0926\u094d\u092f\u093e\u0932\u092f \u0915\u0947 \u0926\u0940\u0915\u094d\u0937\u093e\u0902\u0924 \u0938\u092e\u093e\u0930\u094b\u0939 \u092e\u0947\u0902 \u0939\u0941\u0908\u0964 <b>\u092e\u093e\u0930\u094d\u091a 2024<\/b> \u0938\u0947 <b>\u092b\u0930\u0935\u0930\u0940 2026<\/b> \u0915\u0947 \u092c\u0940\u091a \u0906\u0915\u0932\u0928 \u092a\u0930\u0940\u0915\u094d\u0937\u093e \u0915\u0947 \u092a\u093e\u0901\u091a \u091a\u0915\u094d\u0930 \u0939\u0941\u090f, \u091c\u093f\u0928\u092e\u0947\u0902 \u0930\u093e\u091c\u094d\u092f \u0926\u094d\u0935\u093e\u0930\u093e \u091a\u093f\u0939\u094d\u0928\u093f\u0924 15,361 \u0928\u093f\u0930\u0915\u094d\u0937\u0930 \u0935\u092f\u0938\u094d\u0915\u094b\u0902 \u092e\u0947\u0902 \u0938\u0947 14,447 \u092a\u094d\u0930\u092e\u093e\u0923\u093f\u0924 \u0939\u0941\u090f\u0964 4,000 \u0938\u0947 \u0905\u0927\u093f\u0915 \u0938\u094d\u0935\u092f\u0902\u0938\u0947\u0935\u0915\u094b\u0902 \u0928\u0947 \u092c\u093f\u0928\u093e \u092e\u093e\u0928\u0926\u0947\u092f \u092d\u093e\u0917 \u0932\u093f\u092f\u093e, \u0914\u0930 \u0917\u0902\u0917\u091f\u094b\u0915 \u0938\u094d\u0925\u093f\u0924 \u0930\u093e\u091c\u094d\u092f \u0936\u0948\u0915\u094d\u0937\u093f\u0915 \u0905\u0928\u0941\u0938\u0902\u0927\u093e\u0928 \u090f\u0935\u0902 \u092a\u094d\u0930\u0936\u093f\u0915\u094d\u0937\u0923 \u092a\u0930\u093f\u0937\u0926\u094d \u0928\u0947 \u0938\u094d\u0925\u093e\u0928\u0940\u092f \u092d\u093e\u0937\u093e\u0913\u0902 \u092e\u0947\u0902 \u0915\u094d\u0937\u0947\u0924\u094d\u0930-\u0935\u093f\u0936\u093f\u0937\u094d\u091f \u092a\u094d\u0930\u093e\u0907\u092e\u0930 \u0932\u093f\u0916\u0947\u0964 \u092f\u0939 \u0909\u0926\u093e\u0939\u0930\u0923 \u0920\u0940\u0915 \u0907\u0938\u0932\u093f\u090f \u0936\u093f\u0915\u094d\u0937\u093e\u092a\u094d\u0930\u0926 \u0939\u0948 \u0915\u094d\u092f\u094b\u0902\u0915\u093f \u0938\u093f\u0915\u094d\u0915\u093f\u092e \u092d\u093e\u0930\u0924 \u0915\u093e \u0938\u092c\u0938\u0947 \u0915\u092e \u0906\u092c\u093e\u0926\u0940 \u0935\u093e\u0932\u093e \u0930\u093e\u091c\u094d\u092f \u0939\u0948: \u091c\u0939\u093e\u0901 \u0939\u0930 \u091b\u094b\u091f\u093e \u0939\u0948 \u0935\u0939\u093e\u0901 \u0938\u0902\u0924\u0943\u092a\u094d\u0924\u093f \u092a\u094d\u0930\u093e\u092a\u094d\u092f \u0939\u0948, \u0914\u0930 \u0915\u0920\u093f\u0928 \u092a\u094d\u0930\u0936\u094d\u0928 \u092f\u0939 \u0939\u0948 \u0915\u093f \u0935\u0939\u0940 \u0935\u093f\u0927\u093f \u0909\u0924\u094d\u0924\u0930 \u092a\u094d\u0930\u0926\u0947\u0936 \u0905\u0925\u0935\u093e \u092c\u093f\u0939\u093e\u0930 \u092e\u0947\u0902 \u0915\u094d\u092f\u093e \u0932\u093e\u0917\u0924 \u092e\u093e\u0901\u0917\u0947\u0917\u0940\u0964<\/span><\/p>\r\n <\/div>\r\n\r\n <div class=\"callout red\">\r\n <div class=\"callout-label\">\u26a0\ufe0f <span class=\"en\">The gap between registration and certification<\/div>\r\n <p><span class=\"hi\">\u092a\u0902\u091c\u0940\u0915\u0930\u0923 \u090f\u0935\u0902 \u092a\u094d\u0930\u092e\u093e\u0923\u0928 \u0915\u0947 \u092c\u0940\u091a \u0915\u093e \u0905\u0902\u0924\u0930<\/span><\/span>\r\n <span class=\"en\">Registration on the portal is not the same as literacy attained.

Forty per cent of the PM-USHA budget is to be borne by the State itself. The memorandum requires the State to implement a set of policy reforms, but no additional money is earmarked for those reforms.
