National Policy on Education, It states that: Education will be used as an agent of basic
change in the status of women. In order to neutralize accumulated distortions of the
past, there will be a well-conceived edge in favour of women. The National Educational
system will play a positive interventionist role in the empowerment of women .Besides
the NPE, 1986, India is also a signatory to several international treaties that rain force
this commitment, such as The Dakar Framework for Action 2000, and the United Nations
Millennium Development Goals 2000, the Programme of Action 1992, CEDAW 1993,
The Beijing declaration 1995, and the World Conference on Education for All.

Kasturba Gandhi Balika Vidyalaya (KGBV)
Atmosphere in the Educationally Backward Blocks:
Gender disparities persist in the rural areas and especially among economically and
socially disadvantaged communities. These groups are also deprived of schooling and
other opportunities accessed by children of forward Groups and in particular the girls.
However, several schemes such as awarding scholarships or free education for girl
children are supportive towards narrowing the gender gap, a more effective and feasible
Programme for speedy removal of gender disparities with a specialized and focused
effort was very much needed for the girl children.
Sarva Shiksha Abhiyan aims at promoting access and to facilitate retention of girls and
to ensure greater participation of women and girl children in the field of education. It
also promotes quality education for girls through various interventions, which are
relevant for their empowerment. Thus, SSA Gujarat aims ultimately at the elimination
of greater disparities in schooling.
The Government of India launched the Kasturba Gandhi Balika Vidyalaya (KGBV)
scheme in August 2004 for setting up residential schools at upper primary level for
girls belonging predominantly to the SC, ST, OBC and minorities in difficult areas.
The scheme of the KGBV ran as a separate scheme but in harmony with the Sarva Shiksha
Abhiyan (SSA), National Programme for Education of Girls at Elementary Level
(NPEGEL) and Mahila Samakhya (MS) for the first two years, but has since 1st April,
2007 merged with the SSA Programme as a separate component of that Programme.
Initiative Steps for the development of the scheme in Gujarat
• In Gujarat KGBV, start from year 2004-05.Total 30 educationally backward
blocks were identified which was covering 17 districts and submitted to
Planning Approval Board Meeting and it is sanctioned. The total girls enrolled
are 1533 in number in 2004-05.
• Out of 30 KGBVs 18 KGBV are with 100-girls intake capacity and 12 KGBVs
with 50 girl’s intake strength
• Additional 14 KGBVs of Model III were started in 2006-07.In that year 14
EBB blocks were added in the same 17 districts. Therefore, in the end of the
year 2006-07 44 KGBVs were operational.
• Same way in 2007-08 more 8 EBBs were identified according to the MHRD
guideline and submitted it was sanctioned as Model III type of 2 districts

intake capacity to 50 girls and in the context of RTE- Act 2009 additional 23

Operationalisation of KGBV in EBB:
In the educationally backward blocks, where the out of school girls who are never
enrolled or drop out whose age group between 10 to 16 years are selected for KGBV.
Previously, many community mobilization campaigns “Mahila Sammelan” and “Ma-
Beti sammelan”were organized at block level for community awareness. When KGBV
sanctioned in any Educationally Backward Blocks first step is to aware community
about KGBV scheme a particularly mother of these types of girls. Another way for
community mobilization by sub district functionaries are to visit door to door in village,
Do Puppet shows, drama and cultural Programme are carried out according to the local
area specific trends to feel them about the importance of girl’s education.
Every school has a capacity of 100 girls children however, this maximum capacity has
been relaxed in order to accommodate more girls and see that no girl child is deprived
of elementary education.
Special group of teachers conduct remedial teaching for girls until they attain the required
competencies prescribed for specific classes.
Academics of KGBV:
Administrating Pre-test and conducting bridge course: Girls in the age group of 10+
years once enrolled to KGBVs would be administered pre-test to diagnose the learning
levels. In addition, depending on the competencies the girls are having, they would be
enrolled in sixth, seventh or eighth standard. The minimum duration of the bridge course
duration is fixed for three months for drop out girls.
However, the girls who require individual attention and caring to reach up to the level
of sixth std. are being given bridge course training in the class below sixth std. and
special training is given during the extra hours after enrolling them to sixth Std.
For that by SPO level guideline is made available in local language. For teachers SPO
level team also gives training for this type of academic guidance.

According to our constitution, every child has right to Education. Yet, the children
of down trodden communities are totally aloof and unaware of their basic rights, esp.
girls. Therefore, members of deprived community’s contribution are invisible, even
though, they are contributing equally in the productivity and the development process.
KGBV is meant for providing equal opportunity and access to girls of down trodden
communities by providing lodging, bedding and education with life skills.
Gender disparities still persist in rural areas and among disadvantage
communities. Looking at enrollment trends, there remain significant gaps in the
enrollment of girls at elementary level as compared to boys, especially in upper primary
levels. The KGBV is a girl’s residential school for primary education. These KGBVs
are situated in educationally backward blocks in the state where female literacy rate is
below national female literacy rate. Girls who are enroll in KGBV are dropouts, never
enrolled, from amongst of SC, ST, OBC and minority population and also from scattered,
small habitations.
• To cover all possible out of School girls who are living in very remote
areas or belonging to very marginalized community, age group of 10 to 16.
• To mobilize community through various innovative activities and making
them aware of the important of girls education.
71 GIRLS EDUCATION ACTIVITIES AND GOOD PRACTICES UNDER SSA-GUJARAT 2010-11 & 2011-12
• To open KGBV in remote areas where it is very hard to reach communities
located.
• The capacity building of girls should be built in such a way that each girl of
KGBV will become a role model of her community and motivate other
girls and their parents.
• To provide opportunity to each girl to develop rational thinking, critical
thinking, self decision making power and self identity.
When KGBV sanctioned in any Educationally Backward Blocks first step is to
aware community about KGBV scheme a particularly mother of these types of girls.
Another way for community mobilization by sub district functionaries are to visit door
to door in village, Puppet shows, drama, and cultural Programme carried out according
to the local area specific trends to feel them about the importance of girls education.
Presently KGBVs are running in 19 districts of Gujarat, a total of 86 KGBVs
have been already opened, comprising 43 Model I Type schools, 21 Model II Type
schools & 22 Model III Type schools.

Introduction
The enrolment, retention and quality of girls Education are influenced by several socio-
economic and cultural factors including the gender roles assigned to girls. Gender
differences affects girls very early in life as their declining birth and survival rate attest
in case than boys olds girls are assigned to care for younger siblings, especially in
deprived families, as a result of which the older girls are deprived of going to schools
and their fundamental right i.e. right to Education is obstructed. Keeping the above
facts in mind the Government through Sarva Shiksha Abhiyan has introduced a
programme namely ECCE (Early Childhood Care Education)
As par, Right to education Act 2009 Section 11 suggests that to prepare the children
above the age of three years for elementary education and to provide early Childhood
Care and Education for all children until they complete the age of six years. Early
Childhood Care and Education (ECCE) and preschool learning are the most important
part in improving the environment and participation of Children in formal school. In
this part of life, foundation are laid down for all round development of motor, sensory,
cognitive, language, social and personalities of a child.
Early Childhood care and Education is the pre requisite as it supports the system of
Elementary Education. The quality of input to primary education is largely influenced
by the effective early childcare education facilities that are being offered. Considering
the importance of ECCE centers as feeding schools for sibling care, the strategy has
been initiated under SSA towards providing nutritious food, play materials and health
care for their growth. Most of the ECCE centers are located in the primary school
premises, thus they become the feeding schools for primary schools.
As per norms of SSA, setting up of ECCE Centers in uncovered areas of ICDS
Aaganwadis.
Significance of ECCE:-
The early year of children, constitute the most significant period of in life because this
is when the foundation laid for motor sensory cognitive language social & personality
development. Early childhood care are considered to be the crucial inputs in improving
the enrolment & participation of children in formal schooling this is time of opportunity
where even small positive inputs may generate long- term social benefits.
Chapter-V
Early Child Care Education (ECCE) Centers
GIRLS EDUCATION ACTIVITIES AND GOOD PRACTICES UNDER SSA-GUJARAT 2010-11 & 2011-12 94
Need and important of ECCE:-
The first six year of an individual life are crucial year as development / growth take
place in this period .At its most raped pace these are formative year for attitudes habit
value & adjustment the impression formed at this stage may last forever . Early childhood
is the foundation on which children built the rest of their lives the child gets stimulating
environment at ECE center. ECCE ensures proper overall development of the child it
help in increasing enrolment it has an impact on the child school achievement and
grade placement it help in attaining the goal of Universalization & education.
National Policy of education-
The NPE 1986 has given a great deal of importance to ECCE, it has reviewed ECCE as
an important input in the strategy of human resource development as a feeder and
supporter programmer for primary education. As support service for working women
of the disadvantage section of society it has also cautioned against the dangers of using
formal method of teaching & introduction of the 3R’s reading writing & arithmetic at
the early stage.
The national curriculum framework 2005:
NCF 2005 emphasis on the importance of 2 year of ECCE & states that experiences
provided during the pry school year play a very crucial role in the development of the
child personality. In addition, have strong bearing open later education of children
ECCE requires that young children be provided care opportunities and experiences
that lead to their all-round development physical mental social emotional and school
readiness it must be based on the holistic perspective taking into account the
characteristics of children at each sub-stage and their learning need in terms of
experiences.
Early Child Care Education (ECCE) Centers
In Gujarat to solve the problem of sibling care of girls and for providing linkages
between primary and pre-primary education ECCE centers are opened where
Anaganwadis do not exist within one kilometer area or habitations not served by ICDS.
During the year, 2450 ECCE centers were operational by Gujarat Council of Elementary
Education, enrolling 53,195 numbers of children. All the children in the age group of
3-6 are mainstreamed to Early Childhood Care & Education (ECCE).

2007-08 5508
2008-09 4352
2009-10 3256
2010-11 2984
Above data concludes that the numbers of ECCE centers are decreased in a following
year. The main reason is where the Aaganwadis are opened the centers are being closed
& the children of that ECCE are directly enrolled in Aaganwadis.
Centers are operational in;
• Difficult geographical areas such as desert, hilly areas, scattered remote habitations,
forest areas
• Economically and educationally backward areas such as tribal belt, very deprived
minority community, nomadic communities
• Special training program are running (to take care of younger siblings)
Activities:
• Mobilize community
• Activity based learning process
• Effective evaluation
• Developed material and educational toys with joyful learning concept.
• ECCE Worker training by preparing module based on cognitive, Physical and

Revised Guidelines for implementation
of
The ‘National Programme for Education of Girls at Elementary Level
(NPEGEL)’ as a component of the scheme of Sarva Shiksha Abhiyan (SSA)
1. Background
1.1 The Government has approved a new
programme called ‘National Programme for
Education of Girls at Elementary Level
(NPEGEL)’ as an amendment to the scheme
of Sarva Shiksha Abhiyan (SSA) for providing
additional components for education of girls
at elementary level. The NPEGEL will form
part of SSA and will be implemented under
the umbrella of SSA but with a distinct
identity.
1.2 The scheme of Sarva Shiksha Abhiyan (SSA)
was started in the year 2001-02 with the
objective of universalisation of elementary
education. It is an attempt to provide an
opportunity for improving human capabilities
to all children including the girl child, through
provision of community-owned quality
education in a mission mode. However, as
SSA has limited financial provisions for girls’
education in the form of “innovations” at
district level and free textbooks, and thus there
is a need for an additional component.
1.3 Accordingly, NPEGEL has been formulated
for education of under privileged/
disadvantaged girls from class I to VIII as a
separate and distinct gender component plan
of SSA. The gender component is necessary
to achieve UEE for girls in educationally
backward areas.
2. Scope:
2.1 The scheme would be applicable in the
following areas:-
(a) Educationally Backward Blocks
(EBBs) : EBB means a block where the
level of rural female literacy is less than
the national average and the gender gap
is above the national average.
(b) Blocks of districts which have atleast 5%
SC/ ST population and SC/ ST female
literacy rate below 10% shall also be
taken up under this programme
(c) Selected urban slums.
3. Strategy:
A. Mobilisation for girls’ education, including
community, teachers, NGOs, etc. This is to
be a process oriented programme, where
community ownership and the basket of
components must evolve with local
participation.
B. The block will be the designated as the unit
of planning implementation and monitoring.
C. A basket of components has been provided in
the scheme. However, all blocks may not need
to take up all permissible activities. The
projects should be based on the conditions of
that block and all strategies and interventions
must target both “in” and “out” of school girls
(age 6-14 years) within the block namely:
ð Out of school girls
ð Drop outs girls
ð Overage girls , who have not completed
elementary education
ð Working girls
ð Girls from marginalized social groups.
ð Girls with low attendance
ð Girls with low levels of achievement
ð Girls rescued from work, trafficked
children, daughters of sex workers,
101 GIRLS EDUCATION ACTIVITIES AND GOOD PRACTICES UNDER SSA-GUJARAT 2010-11 & 2011-12
displaced girls including girls in
disturbed areas and urban settings.
D. Development of material including teaching
learning material, CDs, films and other
material, helping in the review/ development
of textbooks, development of guidelines for
incorporation of gender concerns,
development/ compilation of supplementary
reading materials for girls, including life skills,
which would provide the support needed for
girls’ education.
E. The focus of interventions should be on
retention of girls and improvement in quality
of learning. Quality of Education to girls
implies their improved:
����� achievement rates seen in examination
results for which reduced repetition and
dropout rates will be necessary
preconditions
����� completion rates to render the system
efficient
����� transition rates to next level of
education
����� empowerment of girls through exposure
to ‘other than textbooks’ activities to
enhance their information base, their self
esteem and self-confidence, skills and
capacities to equip them for coping with
different situations in life, enable them
to make informed choices, participate in
decision making processes, access
resources that will assure them quality
of life.
Detailed action plans for the target group of
girls and the specific strategies to be adopted
in the block need to be spelt out, with defined
and measurable outcomes. The SSA annual
plan of districts should reflect NPEGEL
blocks specific projects accordingly.
F. The NPEGEL components should not
duplicate any component already provided in
the SSA framework. In case of a special
project being developed for the block, the unit
cost of each component would be finalized
by the Executive Committee of the Sarva
Shiksha Abhiyan programme of the State.
4. Objectives:
4.1 There exists a significant gender gap in
enrolment at the elementary level, which is
more acute for schedule caste and scheduled
tribe girls, for whom the gender gap is almost
30% at the primary level and 26% at upper
primary stage. The reduction of this gender
gap has now plateaued and further reduction
would require a concerted focus on the hard
to reach groups. Therefore, it is necessary to
include certain interventions addressing the
specific needs of girl children. The objectives
of NPEGEL are:
(a) To provide for blocks focused projects
for girls at risk/difficult circumstances
with clearly defined outcomes.
(b) to develop and promote facilities to
provide access and to facilitate retention
of girls and to ensure greater
participation of women and girls in the
field of education
(c) to improve the quality of education
through various interventions and to
stress upon the relevance and quality of
girls’ education for their empowerment
5. Focus:
5.1. The focus of NPEGEL will be as follows:
(a) To strengthen the capacity of National,
State and district institutions and
organisations for planning, management
and evaluation of girls’ education at the
elementary level, and create a dynamic
management structure that will be able
to respond to the challenges of girls’
education;
(b) To develop innovative gender
sensitisation / training programmes, with
the assistance of concerned organisations
and women’s groups, for teachers and
GIRLS EDUCATION ACTIVITIES AND GOOD PRACTICES UNDER SSA-GUJARAT 2010-11 & 2011-12 102
administrators and create an environment
whereby all the sections of the education
sector will become alive and sensitive
to the role of education in eliminating
gender disparities;
(c) To initiate networking between different
institutions for research, extension and
information dissemination to increase
output of gender sensitive, quality
teaching-learning material especially in
regional languages, and decentralised
area-specific models of intervention;
(d) To gear the entire education system to
play a positive interventionist role to
enhance self-esteem and self-confidence
of women and girls; build a positive
image of women by recognizing their
contribution to the society, polity and the
economy.
(e) To break gender stereotypes, ensuring
that the content and process of education
is sensitive to gender concerns.
(f) To provide co-ordinated efforts, to
ensure necessary support services to
enhance girls’ participation and
performance in elementary education.
(g) To build community support for girls’
education and provide a conducive
environment for girls’ education in the
school, community and home; and
(h) To ensure that girls get good quality
education at the elementary level.
6. Implementation Authority:
6.1 State Level Structure:

with communities to devise strategies.
6.3.2. Selection of core groups would be done
at two levels:
(i) Coordinator : 1 (to be selected
from among the
teachers)
(ii) Resource person : 1 (to be selected
from among the
teachers)
(iii) Other members of resource support
group at field level. These community
level activists for community
mobilisation, local level monitoring,
and on site resource support would
be selected from among youth groups
and women students.
6.3.3 The core group at the block level will
be responsible for coordinating with
and converging with the DGU and
existing programmes. They will, with
the help of students, teachers and
volunteers, do surveys, and help
prepare the village plans. They will also
monitor and oversee the
implementation of these plans. The core
groups will form the major vehicle for
community mobilisation, monitoring in
the village the progress for enrolment,
drop out, achievement of girls,
facilitating with the VEC/ MTA/ village
community in devising interventions
for these activities in the village, and
creating an environment for girls’
education. They will be selected on the
basis of their aptitude. They can also
assist in the upgraded schools in special
activities like sports, painting, computer
aided education, music or as escorts.
6.3.4 At the cluster level there will be Co-
ordinators (One for every 5 - 25
GIRLS EDUCATION ACTIVITIES AND GOOD PRACTICES UNDER SSA-GUJARAT 2010-11 & 2011-12 104
villages), who will work as honorary
women workers and will have the
assistance of a Core Group. In older MS
areas, the federations or the Sanghas
could takeover this role. In all project
areas, efforts will be made to eventually
hand over this function to such groups
of activists. The coordinator would
work along side the Model cluster
school. At the cluster level, the
coordinator, will, with the help of the
national, State and district level,
coordinate the mobilisation of the
community, regular monitoring of girls’
enrolment, retention, and achievement,
and work with the core group and
communities to devise strategies to
achieve project goals.
6.3.5 The village level efforts will be co-
ordinated by Mahila Samakhya
Sanghas, core groups, VECs, Mothers
Committees or Parent Teacher
Associations, as the case may be. The
district unit, cluster coordinators and
village Sanghas will respectively,
decide the prioritisation for activities
and incentives to be taken up in the
cluster/ village. This autonomy is vital
for genuine local needs/solutions to get
reflected in the programme activities/
strategies.
6.3.6 A Cluster Level Committee would be
formed for monitoring the cluster level
activities and would consist of the
Presidents of VEC/SMC of the villages
in the cluster. The President of the
Cluster level Committee would be
selected from its members by rotation
every quarter. The Head Master of the
‘Model Cluster School for Girls’ would
be the member-secretary. If number of
women member is less than four, an
additional member may be co-opted
from the VEC/SMC to ensure that at
least 4 women members are there.
6.4 National Support Group:
6.4.1 The National Resource Group (NRG)
already created under the Mahila
Samakhya programme at the National
level shall provide inputs on conceptual
issues and concerns arising in the
programme, and advise GOI on policy
matters concerning the education of
girls. This group, along with smaller
sub committees for specific inputs
formed through co- option of additional
persons from relevant institutions or
experts , will provide the interface with
research and training institutions,
women’s movement, educationists and
non-Governmental institutions and also
bring in other experiences of educating
girls. Eminent individuals will also be
encouraged to go to the districts as role
models and be part of the environment
building effort.
7. Components of the Girl Education
Programme:
(i) Block Focus Projects for girls at risk/
difficult circumstances: Detailed action
plan for the Target group of girls and
specific strategies to be adopted in the
block need to be spelt out, with defined
and measurable outcomes. SSA Annual
Work Plan of districts should reflect
NPEGEL block specific project,
accordingly. Funds permissible per block
would be within the ceiling of the sum
total of the activities admissible per
cluster under the scheme. All clusters in
an EBB are eligible for coverage under
NPEGEL. For effective implementation
phasing of coverage is suggested.
(ii) Model Cluster school (MCS): A Model
Cluster School for Girls’, as a model girl-
child friendly school at cluster level will
be opened in all selected districts/blocks
where the scheme is operational. A cluster
will be for about 5-10 villages with each
105 GIRLS EDUCATION ACTIVITIES AND GOOD PRACTICES UNDER SSA-GUJARAT 2010-11 & 2011-12
block having about 8-10 clusters. This
girl-child friendly infrastructure will be
used by all the schools in that cluster, by
rotation. It shall have facilities in terms
of teaching learning equipment, books,
equipment, games, etc.
(iii) Facilities available, like books will also
be circulated to the schools in the clusters.
Facilities will be used for learning
through computers, film shows, reading
material, self defence, life skills, riding
bicycles, reading, games etc. Instructors
will be hired for the day or on contract
for imparting vocational and other
training. These would be aimed at
improving the achievement of girls,
fostering an interest in education among
them, and raising the importance of girls’
education in the community. The facilities
will also be used for teacher training in
the cluster. Clusters will be taken up in a
phased manner, and those schools will be
selected which have shown the best
performance for enrolment of girls over
the baseline, and which are accessible to
around 10 villages / schools, whose girls
can use this infrastructure and which has
land for additional civil works and play
fields. While selecting the location of the
model cluster schools, the density of SC/
ST population would also be taken into
consideration.
An existing school will be identified for
opening of ‘Model Cluster School for
Girls’ having the density of SC/ST/OBC/
Minority girls. A ‘model cluster school
for girls’ will have the provision of an
additional classroom, supply of drinking
water, electrification, and toilet for which
one time grant upto a maximum of
Rs.2.00 lakhs will be provided. To the
extent of construction of such additional
room/toilets, this amount would be over
and above the 33% limit for Civil Works
under SSA. The construction of
additional classrooms, etc. will be carried
out by the VEC/SMC of the cluster
headquarter. The type of design for the
classroom will be approved by the
Executive Committee of the State SSA
Society. Infrastructure development will
be used for additions to schools,
residential facilities, girls toilets, water
supply, electrification and barrier free
features etc. in the upgraded cluster
schools. A one time grant amounting to
Rs.30,000/- will also be provided for
teaching learning equipment, library,
sports, vocational training, etc.
(iv) For each cluster, one or more of the
following interventions may be
undertaken within an overall annual
ceiling of Rs.60,000/- per cluster.
(a) Recurring Grant to Model Cluster
Schools: A maximum amount of Rs.
20,000/- per annum will be provided to
each cluster to meet the requirements of
expenditure on various activities for
promotion of girls’ education in that
cluster including maintenance of the
school and engagement of part time
instructors for additional specified
subjects provided that no instructor would
be hired for more than 3 months in an
academic year and he/she would not
receive remuneration of more than Rs.
1,000/- per month.
(b) Awards to Schools/Teachers: One award
per year @ Rs. 5,000/- (in kind) will be
provided to a school/teacher at cluster
level for for achievements in enrolment,
retention and learning outcomes of girl
students.
(c) Student Evaluation, Remedial Teaching,
Bridge Courses, Alternative Schools:
Special models of alternative schooling
catering to hard to reach groups of girls
including bridge courses, flexible timings,
back to school camps, remedial teaching,
GIRLS EDUCATION ACTIVITIES AND GOOD PRACTICES UNDER SSA-GUJARAT 2010-11 & 2011-12 106
etc. for out of school, irregular girls will be
started in such villages where this poses a
serious problem. In addition to the
provisions already available under the EGS
&AIE component of SSA, a maximum
amount of Rs.20,000/- per annum will be
provided to each cluster for student
evaluation, remedial teaching, bridge course
and alternative schools. There may be two
such centres under one cluster.
(d) Learning through Open Schools:
Children at the upper primary level, even
in the open schooling system, in certain
special cases, require some short-term
residential training at regular intervals.
The scheme will provide waiver of fees
of girls for courses under National Open
School and State Open Schools, setting
up of specially designed open learning
centers. The implementing agency will
devise suitable system with NOS, State
Open Schools or other such organisation
for this purpose. The cluster school will
form the venue of the residential upper
primary school / NGO Centre. This will
facilitate bringing to the eductional
system those girls who have dropped out
from regular schools for some reason. A
maximum amount of Rs. 50,000/- per
annum will be provided to each cluster
towards the payment of fees and
provision of supplementary teaching to
be taken up with the help of National
Open School or State Open School. Short
term residential courses can also be
organised. To the extent possible, the
payment on this account would be made
by the State Societies directly to National
Open School or State Open School as the
case may be.
(e) Teacher Training: Under this scheme
Teachers and teacher educators will be
trained for gender sensitisation. A
maximum amount of Rs. 4,000/- per
annum will be provided to each cluster
for annual training of at least 20 teachers
specially on gender aspects. This amount
will be in addition to the provisions under
SSA for normal teacher training on
subjective issues.
(f) Child Care Centres: The scheme provides
opening of additional Early Childhood
Care centres to meet gaps in the
Integrated Child Development Scheme
and relieve girls from the burden of
sibling care. Two Child Care Centres per
cluster run by community may be opened
in the areas where there is no Child Care
Centre under any scheme of the
Department of Women & Child
Development and/or the State
Government concerned. Each centre
opened under the ‘Girl Education
Component’ of the SSA will receive a
recurring grant of Rs.5000/- and non-
recurring grant of Rs.1000/- per annum.
These funds can also be used for
strengthening existing local ICDS centers
especially for augmenting training for
pre-school component, play way kits,
joint trainings with primary school
teachers and pro-rata payment of
honorarium of Anganwadi workers due
to extension of Anganwadi timings to
match school timings.
(iv) A one time non recurring grant of
§ Rs. 30,000/- for teaching learning
equipment, library, sports, vocational
training etc.; and
§ Rs. 2.00 lakh for skill building activities
(in lieu of additional classroom) and for
meeting recurring costs of skill building
activities for girls to be utilized upto a
period of three years.
This amount will only be admissible for model
cluster schools which have not availed of Rs.
2.00 lakhs for an additional classroom and Rs.
30,000/- for TLE etc. since inception of the
scheme.
107 GIRLS EDUCATION ACTIVITIES AND GOOD PRACTICES UNDER SSA-GUJARAT 2010-11 & 2011-12
Illustration
♦ One time non-recurring grant- Rs.2.30 lakh (i.e. in lieu of Rs. 2.00 lakh for construction of
additional classroom and Rs. 30,000/- for teaching
learning, equipment, library sports, vocational
training etc.)
(All EBBs were covered upto 2007. Therefore, the
grant would no longer be admissible for those
EBBs who have drawn upon it) but would be
admissible for skill building activities for girls over
a three year period to Model Cluster school who
have not availed the said amounts since the
inception of the scheme.
♦ Recurring grant – Rs. 60,000/- per cluster per annum
♦ Community Mobilization – Rs. 10,000/- per cluster per annum
multiply by number of clusters taken up
Therefore, project for block would be made on
above calculations.
5% management cost for NPEGEL impleme-
ntation for State and District can be added.
(g) Some other indicative activities which could
be undertaken within funds allocated above
include:
♦ Learning through computers especially
at upper primary level;
♦ Life skill trainings to enable skills and
capacities for copping with difficult
situation in life; enabling them to make
informed choices; participate in decision
making processes and access resources
that will assure them quality of life.
♦ Educational Tours/Exposure Visits to
enhance their information base, self
esteem and self confidence.
♦ Interaction with important people of the
area.
♦ Designing of accelerated learning for
older girls and development of relevant
curricula for residential and non-
residential bridge courses for older girls,
who were drop outs or had never
enrolled.
♦ Follow-up strategies for providing
ongoing support to girls mainstreamed
to schools from bridge courses and other
alternative schooling facilities.
♦ Engagement of older women as escorts
for school going girls where schools are
at a distance or passage is hazardous.
♦ Monitoring and tracking of girl’s
attendance and supportive strategies to
facilitate regular attendance of girls and
their retention in schools to enhance
learning achievement, completion and
transition to next level of education.
(v) Additional incentives: SSA provides for free
textbooks to all girl-children upto a limit of
Rs.150/- per child at primary level and Rs.
250/- per child at upper primary level. In
addition to the existing norms, a package of
incentives shall be available to the girl-child
under this programme. For each school a
Mother’s/ Women’s Committee would,
depending upon the real needs, decide on
additional incentives within the already
prescribed financial ceiling of Rs. 150 per girl-
child per year, under SSA. However, if there
are any savings after providing for free text
books to the girls, the balance money out of
GIRLS EDUCATION ACTIVITIES AND GOOD PRACTICES UNDER SSA-GUJARAT 2010-11 & 2011-12 108
this amount may be used for providing
additional items such as stationery, slates,
work books, uniform, providing escorts in
difficult areas, etc. Thus, if a State is spending
Rs. x per child on textbooks from SSA funds,
then it would spend only an additional Rs.
(Rs.150 – x) for these activities.
(vi) Nutrition and School Health: Health too,
remains a critical issue for girls’ education.
Greater malnutrition among girls and lower
family priority towards their health affects
their learning capacity. School health would
involve general health check up with a more
intensive follow up of such girls who require
special attention. On sanctioning of a ‘Model
Cluster School for Girl Child’, a list of such
schools mentioning the nearest Government
Hospital or Referral Hospital or PHC Centre
to the school will be provided to the concerned
State Health Department under intimation to
the Department of Elementary Education &
Literacy who will request the Ministry of
Health & Family Welfare for providing
necessary services to the Model Cluster
Schools. A synergy for this would be built with
the Department of Health. Similar synergy
will be developed for convergence of ‘Mid-
day Meal Scheme’ run by the Department of
Elementary Education & Literacy.
(vii) Community Mobilization (Mobilization for
enrolment, retention and learning):At the
District and cluster (a group of about ten
villages) level, mobilization activities
including the training of teachers and
educational administrators, mobilisation of the
community, including formation and training
of resource groups (Mother Teacher
Associations (MTA), Women Motivator
Groups(WMG), Mahila Samakhya (MS)
Sanghas etc.), activities by resource group like
enrolment, retention, talking to parents etc.,
training & review of resource group,
community follow up of enrolment,
attendance, achievement etc shall be carried
out.
The key to girls’ education is community
mobilisation. The SSA programme already
mentions mobilisation at habitation/ village /
urban slum level. For this purpose, a Cluster
Co-ordinator along with a core group at cluster
level comprising of women workers,
volunteers and mothers/ parents etc. will assist
in bringing girls from the villages, as well as
monitoring their achievement, attendance,
retention etc. Training of the community /
resource groups involving Mother-Teacher
Association, Women Management Groups,
Sanghas, etc. will also be taken up under this
component.
At the cluster level there will be a Co-ordinator
(One for every 5 - 25 villages), who will work
as an honorary women worker. She will be
paid TA/DA, etc.
This Core Group will play one of the most
critical roles in the programme, in terms of
planning, mobilisation and implementing the
programmes package of activities. Therefore,
its constitution, selection of members, their
training and orientation will be a key input in
the programme. Their role will help the
programme to truly evolve and gain local
context and community ownership.
In addition to the provisions already available
under SSA, an amount of Rs. 35,000/- for the
first year; Rs. 20,000/- for the second and third
year; and Rs. 10,000/- for the fourth and fifth
year will be provided for for the purpose of
community mobilisation through training,
follow up of girls’ enrolment, attendance,
achievement etc. in each cluster: The above
provision also includes the cost towards
Management Information System and
Documentation, honorarium & TA/DA to the
coordinators and meetings of resource groups
at cluster level. This amount will form part of
6% for management cost and it can be
enhanced on account of expenses incurred for
community mobilisation activities in the EBBs
and other educationally deprived areas
selected for special focus on girls’ education.
The 6% ceiling of a district shall not be
109 GIRLS EDUCATION ACTIVITIES AND GOOD PRACTICES UNDER SSA-GUJARAT 2010-11 & 2011-12
exceeded by an amount more than 10% of the
total “Girls Education Component” of its
annual district plan.
(viii)Implementation, Monitoring and
Supervision :
Programme activities at State and National
level : Activities at the National and State level
also include (a) Planning, (b) Training, (c)
meeting, workshops evaluation and MIS, (d)
Development of material including teaching
learning material, CDs, films and other
training material, fees & honorarium, (e)
helping in the review/ development of
textbooks, development of guidelines for
incorporation of gender concerns, (f)
development/ compilation of supplementary
reading material for girls, including life skills,
which would provide the support needed for
girls’ education etc. and (g) inter State sharing,
documentation, publication, networking,
Library, journal etc.
The SSA provisions will continue for carrying
out development of training modules,
curriculum and pedagogy activities, however,
gender focused materials will be at the core
of such activities at State level by the
implementing unit of NPEGEL. These may
include:
(a) Development of material including
teaching learning material, CDs, films
and other training material,
(b) Assisting the review/ development of
textbooks, development of guidelines for
incorporation of gender concerns,
(c) Development/ compilation of
supplementary reading material for girls,
including life skills, which would
provide the support needed for girls’
education etc.
(d) Development/ compilation of suitable
curriculum and pedagogy including
evaluation from the gender perspective
etc. Material, pedagogy and modules
already developed under programmes
like MS, Lok Jumbish Project and
District Primary Education Project, like
gender review of text books,
development of supplementary gender
sensitive teaching learning material will
also be collected and incorporated.
Funds for implementation, monitoring and
supervision of NPEGEL at sub-district,
district, State and central levels will provided
as given below :-
(a) Management expenses of 6 % of project
cost including consultants for appraisal
and monitoring and evaluation of the
scheme, coordination with existing
schemes, advocacy, workshops and
seminars establishment and
administrative expenses etc. as follows:
§ Funds to the extent of 1% at national
level will be provided at national level
to cover planning, monitoring and
concurrent evaluation.
§ Funds to the extent of 5% of proposed
expenditure at State and district level for
planning and monitoring. Funds for this
programme will be routed through the
SSA society of the State as per
mechanism mentioned in para 5 above.
(b) The ceiling of 6% for management cost
fixed under SSA can be enhanced on
account of expenses incurred for
community mobilisation activities in
areas where this programme will be
implemented upto 10% of the total
amount earmarked for the district under
this programme.
8. Methodology:
8.1 The separate sub- plan for ‘Girls Education
Component’ will be prepared by the district
implementation unit of the NPEGEL. As in
the case of DEEP, these plans shall be
scrutinized at the State level by the resource
group, before being forwarded to the cell at
the National level, who shall appraise the
GIRLS EDUCATION ACTIVITIES AND GOOD PRACTICES UNDER SSA-GUJARAT 2010-11 & 2011-12 110
plans, with the help of external agencies/
consultants where necessary. A team
constituted for the purpose will appraise the
plans received. The Project Approval Board
(PAB) of SSA will approve these sub-plans.
The PAB will also invite two eminent persons
/NGOs with experience and expertise in girls’/
women’s education while approving these
plans.
8.2 From 2008-09, the State will prepare detailed
action plans for the target group of girls and
spelling out the specific strategies to be
adopted in the block with defined and
measurable outcomes. The SSA annual work
plans of districts should reflect NPEGEL
block specific project accordingly.
9. Financial norms under the NPEGEL:
9.1 The assistance under this component will be
as per the parameters of SSA i.e. in the ratio
65:25 for the first two years of the XI plan i.e.
2007-08 and 2008-09; 60:40 for the third year
i..e 2009-10; 55:45 for the fourth year i..e
2010-11 and 50:50 thereafter i.e. from 2011-
12 onwards. For the North Eastern States the
fund sharing pattern between Centre and
States shall be 90:10 under the programme
with the Centre’s share resource from the 10%
earmarked funds for the NE Region in the SSA
Central Budget.
9.2 The provisions for NPEGEL will be in
addition to the provisions already made under
SSA. The SSA society will ensure that there
is no duplication of activities proposed under
the programme.
9.3 The Government of India would directly
release funds to the SSA State Implementation
Society. The State Government will also
release its share to the State Implementation
Society. Funds will be released thereafter to
the Mahila Samakhya society, wherever
applicable. In States where MS is not being
implemented, the implementation of this
scheme will be through a sub-unit called
‘Gender Unit’ of SSA society and existing
mechanism used for implementation of SSA
will be followed.
9.4 The State society should open a separate
savings bank account for operating of funds
of NPEGEL. State Government should also
release its matching share to the State SSA
society through a separate budget head.
Separate accounts will have to be maintained
at district and sub-district structures,
accordingly. 7
111 GIRLS EDUCATION ACTIVITIES AND GOOD PRACTICES UNDER SSA-GUJARAT 2010-11 & 2011-12
Revised Guidelines for implementation of Kasturba Gandhi Balika
Vidyalayas (KGBVs)
1. Background
1.1 The Kasturba Gandhi Balika Vidyalaya
(KGBV) scheme was launched by the
Government of India in August, 2004 for
setting up residential schools at upper primary
level for girls belonging predominantly to the
SC, ST, OBC and minorities in difficult areas.
The scheme of the KGBV ran as a separate
scheme but in harmony with the Sarva Shiksha
Abhiyan (SSA), National Programme for
Education of Girls at Elementary Level
(NPEGEL) and Mahila Samakhya (MS) for
the first two years, but has since 1st April, 2007
merged with the SSA programme as a separate
component of that programme.
2. Scope/ Coverage of the scheme
2.1 The scheme was applicable since inception
in 2004, in Educationally Backward Blocks
(EBBs) where the rural female literacy is
below the national average (46.13%: Census
2001) and gender gap in literacy is more than
the national average (21.59%: Census 2001).
Among these blocks, schools may be set up
in areas with:
♦ concentration of tribal population, with
low female literacy and/or a large
number of girls out of school;
♦ concentration of SC, OBC and minority
populations, with low female literacy
and/or a large number of girls out of
school;
♦ areas with low female literacy; or
♦ areas with a large number of small,
scattered habitations that do not qualify
for a school
2.2 The criteria of eligible blocks has been revised
with effect from 1st April, 2008 to include the
following:
♦ An additional 316 Educationally
backward blocks with rural female
literacy below 30%; and
♦ 94 Towns/cities having minority
concentration (as per the list identified
by Ministry of Minority Affairs) with
female literacy rate below the national
average (53.67%: Census 2001).
3. Objective
3.1 Gender disparities still persist in rural areas
and among disadvantaged communities.
Looking at enrolment trends, there remain
significant gaps in the enrolment of girls at
the elementary level as compared to boys,
especially at the upper primary levels. The
objective of KGBV is to ensure access and
quality education to the girls of disadvantaged
groups of society by setting up residential
schools at upper primary level.
4. Strategies
4.1 2180 KGBV residential schools have been
sanctioned over the X Plan period at an
estimated cost of Rs. 19.05 lakh as recurring
cost and Rs. 26.25 lakh as non-recurring cost,
per school. Initially, the proposed schools shall
be opened in rented or other available
Government buildings after deciding the
location.
4.2 Such residential schools will be set up only in
those backward blocks that do not have
residential schools at upper primary level for
girls under any other scheme of Ministry of
Social Justice & Empowerment and Ministry
GIRLS EDUCATION ACTIVITIES AND GOOD PRACTICES UNDER SSA-GUJARAT 2010-11 & 2011-12 112
of Tribal Affairs. This shall be ensured by the
district level authority of SSA at the time of
actual district level planning of KGBV
initiatives by co-ordinating with the other
Departments/Ministries.
5. The components of the scheme will be as
follows:
(i) Setting up of residential schools where
there are a minimum of 50 girls
predominantly from the SC, ST and
minority communities available to study
in the school at the elementary level. The
number can be more than 50 depending
on the number of eligible girls. Three
possible models for such school have
been identified and revised financial
norms for the same are given Annexure
– I (a), (b) & (c). The revised financial
norms will be admissible to the new
KGBVs approved with effect from 1st
April, 2008. Only the revised recurring
grant will be admissible to the existing
2180 KGBVs sanctioned upto March,
2007 with effect from 1st April, 2008.
(ii) To provide necessary infrastructure for
these schools
(iii) To prepare and procure necessary
teaching learning material and aids for
the schools
(iv) To put in place appropriate systems to
provide necessary academic support and
for evaluation and monitoring
(v) To motivate and prepare the girls and
their families to send them to residential
school
(vi) At the primary level the emphasis will
be on the slightly older girls who are out
of school and were unable to complete
primary schools (10+). However, in
difficult areas (migratory populations,
scattered habitations that do not qualify
for primary/ upper primary schools)
younger girls can also be targeted
(vii) At the upper primary level, emphasis will
be on girls, especially, adolescent girls
who are unable to go to regular schools
(viii)In view of the targeted nature of the
scheme, 75% girls from SC, ST, OBC or
minority communities would be
accorded priority for enrolment in such
residential schools and only thereafter,
25% girls from families below poverty
line.
(ix) Established NGOs and other non-profit
making bodies will be involved in the
running of the schools, wherever
possible. These residential schools can
also be adopted by the corporate groups.
Separate guidelines are being issued in
the matter.
6. Implementation, monitoring and
evaluation
6.1 The scheme will be implemented by State
Governments through the Mahila Samakhya
(MS) Society in MS states and through the
SSA society in case of other states. Funds will
be released as per SSA pattern to the State
SSA societies. The monitoring and evaluation
at the State and district level will be
undertaken by the MS State Resource Centers
and in non-MS states, through the committee
created for the National Programme for
Education of Girls at the Elementary Level in
the SSA society.
6.2 Training for teachers and staff at the
residential schools will be coordinated by the
District Institutes of Educational Training,
Block Resource Centres and the Mahila
Samakhya Resource Groups.
7. State Support Group
7.1 An Advisory State level coordination
committee as approved under the NPEGEL
scheme, shall provide direction and support
to the programme. This group will consist of
113 GIRLS EDUCATION ACTIVITIES AND GOOD PRACTICES UNDER SSA-GUJARAT 2010-11 & 2011-12
nominees from relevant State Government
Departments, Government of India, experts in
the field of girls education, educationists etc.
The selection of an appropriate model of the
school and its location would be done by this
Committee based on the recommendation of
the district committee implementing the
NPEGEL and the new proposed scheme.
8. National Support Group
8.1 The National Resource Group (NRG) created
under the Mahila Samakhya programme at the
National level shall provide inputs on
conceptual issues and concerns arising in the
programme, and advice GOI on policy matters
concerning the education of girls. This group
will provide the interface with research and
training institutions, women’s movement,
educationists and non-Governmental
institutions and also bring in other experiences
of educating girls.
8.2 Since the NRG, consists of a small number of
persons and meets only two to three times in
a year, smaller sub committees of the NRG
created for specific inputs, like gender training
of teachers, development of gender based
teaching learning material, development of
audio visual programmes etc. will co- opt
additional persons from relevant institutions
or experts for the purpose.
9. Methodology
9.1 Based on the number of girls and the type of
residential school to be provided, the selection
of the model of the school to be selected would
be done by a State Level Committee based on
the recommendation of the District Committee
for the purpose. The proposal shall be
forwarded to the Cell at the National level who
shall appraise them with the help of external
agencies/consultants, where necessary.
Finally, the Project Approval Board of SSA
will approve these plans.
10. Financial Norms under KGBV
10.1 The funding pattern of the Central
Government and States/UTs for the KGBV
scheme will be the same as per the Sarva
Shiksha Abhiyan, as it is a component of SSA
with effect from 1st April, 2007.
10.2 The provisions for KGBV will be in addition
to the provisions already made under other
components of SSA and for NPEGEL. The
SSA Society shall ensure convergence of
KGBV with NPEGEL and Mahila Samakhya
programme. It shall also ensure that funds
allocated are appropriately invested and there
is no duplication of activities.
10.3 The Government of India would directly
release funds to the SSA State Implementation
Society. The State Government will also
release its share to the State Implementation
Society. Funds will be released thereafter to
the Mahila Samakhya Society wherever
applicable. In States where MS is not being
implemented, the implementation of this
scheme will be through the ‘Gender Unit’ of
SSA Society and existing mechanism used for
implementation of SSA will be followed.
10.4 The State Society should open a separate
Savings Bank Account for operating the funds
of KGBV. State Government should also
release its matching share to the State SSA
Society through a separate budget head.
Separate accounts will have to be maintained
at district and sub-district structures,
accordingly.
