Due to enrolment drive and other access promotion measures, enrolment in primary schools was found to have increased manifold. A sharp rise in enrolment led to overcrowding and put strain on the limited existing schooling infrastructure. To deal with such a situation, construction of new schools, additional classrooms, separate toilets and urinals for girls, provision of drinking water, etc. were taken up under SSA. In addition, repair works were undertaken in schools. All these interventions have significantly improved the overall pedagogical environment in the primary schools of the project districts. |
