PREFACE Evaluation study of any programme/scheme is an integral part of planning process. In assessing the performance of scheme/programme an evaluation study plays a key role. It provides necessary feed back to
concerned department and implementing agencies about the implementation of scheme and bottlenecks experienced in achieving the objectives of the scheme which enable to take corrective measures for improving performance of the scheme. State Government of Haryana introduced many
schemes/programmes in the field of education. Sarva Shiksha Abhiyan is one of them which was launched in the state from April, 2002 for the universalization of elementary education. SSA is an effort to universalize elementary education by community ownership of the school system. An evaluation study of this programme was undertaken at the instance of the state government. To give impetus to the centrally sponsored scheme the Government of India and State Government provided an amount of Rs. 37141.61 lakh, 28949.15 lakh and 25487.12 lakh during the yea 2006-07. 2007-08 and 2008-09 respectively for the implementation of various activities being taken under SSA. It was observed that the utilization of the amount was found on lower side. The study revealed that various activities being taken under SSA had created a favourable impact on increasing the target group to attend schools. However, there is still a large number of dropout and out of school children in the state. Some gaps/bottlenecks were also noted in the implementation of different activities of SSA and suitable suggestions have been made to rectify them.
I am thankful to the Haryana Prarthmik Shiksha Pariyojna Parishad and his staff for their cooperation in supplying the required information/data necessary for the study. The valuable assistance and active cooperation rendered by the officials of selected districts, contacted knowledgeable persons, head of the educational institutions and their students is also acknowledged. It is hoped that the findings and recommendations made in the report would prove usefull in the improving the functioning of the programme of HPSPP and making its impact more effective and broad based to the target group as well as to the stakeholders. The report has been prepared by Sh. Kehar Singh, Research Officer with the assistance of Sh. Kuldeep Singh, ARO and Sh.Diwan Singh, ARO under the supervision of Sh. S.S.Bhoria, the then Joint Director and Sh. Preet Singh, Joint Director. The computer typing of the report was done by Sh. Mohinder Singh, Junior Scale Stenographer and Sh. Khushi Ram, Steno Typist.

The funds earmarked for the SSA should be 100%utilised to achieve the desired goal. Any type of incentives in kind or cash should be provided with, at the beginning of the academic session. Civil works like construction of school rooms, urinals and toilets should be taken up as per requirement. Co-ordination between members of VEC and school teacher should be maintained so that the impediments come in the execution of the any activities be avoided.
Teaching learning material should be prepared keeping in view the prescribed syllabus of the class I to VIII and should be used while teaching the students and should not be stored in drawing rooms as well as in halls. As per provisions the monitoring mechanism should be made effective. Monitoring teams at state level, district level and block level should be constituted and record to this effect be maintained for follow up action.

CHAPTER-1 Introduction The Sarva Shiksha Abhiyan (SSA), the flagship programme, which has been the culmination of Operation Black Board (OBB), District Primary Education Programme (DPEP) and Shiksha Karmi Project etc. for universalizing elementary education has been successful in increasing the access to elementary education through providing the necessary requirements such as physical infrastructure and teachers. Besides, the SSA also enlisted the support and involvement of village community in school management. However, it has not yet succeeded in providing a good quality education to a wide cross section of our children. It is therefore, imperative that the issues of quality education, equity and retention in schools are addressed squarely by restructuring and transforming the SSA into a National Mission for Quality Elementary Education. Sarva Shiksha Abhiyan (SSA) was launched in the State of Haryana from April, 2002, though it was started in the year 2001-02 with its pre-project activities. Sixteen district were covered under the scheme during 2002-03. The district under DPEP-I and all the non-DPEP districts were taken into count. Only three districts namely Gurgaon, Bhiwani and Mahendragarh - the ones under DPEP-II were excluded. With effect from the session 2003-04, the 19 districts of the state have been covered under the Project. Sarva Shiksha Abhiyan is an effort to universalize elementary education by community ownership of the school system. It is in response to the demand for quality basic education all over the country. The SSA programme is also an attempt to provide an opportunity for improving human capabilities to all children, through provision of community owned quality education in a Mission Mode.

PROCEDURE FOR RELEASE OF FUNDS A) Sarva Shiksha Abhiyan is conceived as a long-term partnership
between the central and the State/UT Governments. The procedure for release of funds incorporates this idea of a partnership. Under the programme of Sarva Shiksha Abhiyan, the district will prepare their proposals through a community owned Pre-Project phase, broadly based on the Framework for implementation. The State level Implementation Society for Sarva Shiksha Abhiyan will forward these proposals to the National Mission of Sarva Shiksha Abhiyan for release after appraisal by a joint team. The Central Government will release the funds directly to the State Implementation Society. The State Government have to give written commitments regarding its contribution towards the Sarva Shiksha Abhiyan. B) After preparation of the District Elementary Education Plans, the
perspective as well as the Annual Plans will be jointly appraised by a team of experts constituted jointly by the National and the State level implementation Society. The Governing Council of the National Sarva Shiksha Abhiyan Mission has empowered the Project Approval Board under the Chairmanship of the Secretary of the department to approve the Annual Plan on the basis of the appraisal report, the recommendation of the State implementation Society, the availability of Central Plan funds, and the commitment of the State government regarding financial resources. The recommendation of the State level Implementation Society must also be accompanied by a commitment of the State government to transfer its share to the State Society within thirty days of the receipt of the Central contribution, as per the approved sharing arrangement. The release of the first installment to the State/UT will be processed after receipt of these written commitments. The appraisal and approval of Plans should be completed in time for the first installment, to meet the proposed, expenditure of the first six months, to be released by 15 April.
8
Some departure from this norm would be necessitated in the first year of programme implementation. C) There would be two installments each year; one in April for expenditure
between April and September and the second in September for expenditure between October to March. The Government of India would release an ad-hoc grant in April every year. (Ref. PAB decision of 88th Meeting held on 6.12.2006). This will be subsequently adjusted based on the approval of AWP&B for the year. A supervision visit to the programme implementation districts will be undertaken by a pool of resource persons selected by the National/State Mission, before the second installment is processed. The second installment will be based on the progress in expenditure and the quality of implementation. The utilization certificates from the districts to the states and to the National Mission for funds released in the first installment would become due at the time of the release of the first installment in the subsequent year. Financial Performance of budget allocation and expenditure of the SSA. The following table shows the budget allocation and expenditure under the SSA during the year 2002-03 to 2008-09 (upto 31.12.2008)

Above table shows that during the tenure of 7 years from 2002-03 to 2008-09, total financial provision (Receipt) for the SSA was Rs.143390.56 lakh. Expenditure incurred to the tune of Rs. 110802.55 lakh against the total fund available Rs. 143390.56 lakh, which works out to 77.27%. The analysis shows that the expenditure was not as per the targeted financial provision. During the year 2002-03 the expenditure against the financial provision was significantly low at the level of 71.0%. During the year 2003-04, 2004-05, 2005-06, 2006-07, 2007-08 and 2008-09 it was 99.17%, 67.12%, 90.75%, 81.74% , 79.86% and 56.00% respectively. It reveals that the expenditure incurred against financial provision was on the lower side. Physical Progress of various activities under SSA during 2005-06 to 2007-08 1. Teacher Training/Curriculum development Teacher training was imparted to 67000, 67200 and 62215 teachers of primary and upper primary schools during the year 2005-06 to 2007-08.

CHAPTER-III ORGANISATIONAL SET-UP The organizational set-up for the implementation of the Sarva Shiksha Abhiyan is a four tier set-up. As would be seen from Annexure-C at the apex, i.e. at the centre level there is a department of School Education and literacy in the Ministry of Human Resource Development. At the State level, the programme is implemented by the society set up as Haryana Prathmik Shiksha Pariyojna Parishad headed by State Project Director (SPD). At the district level, ADC (Additional Deputy Commissioner) is the Chairman of the SSA. The District Project Coordinator/District Elementary Education Officer coordinates the activities relating to SSA within the district. At block level (CD block), BRC/Block Elementary Education Officer coordinates the activities relating to SSA within a block. The BRC is assisted by cluster Resource coordinator. At grass root i.e. school level, School Management Committee and at Gram Panchayat level, Village Education Committee assist in execution of the activities of the SSA. 3.1 State Level: There is a state Mission Authority for Universalization of Elementary Education. All activities in the education sector should be under one society. The Mission mode signifies a focused and time bound arrangement for decision making and the presence of representatives of Planning and Finance department on these bodies at the State level would facilitate this process. The Governing council could be headed by the Chief Minister and the Executive Committee by the Chief Secretary/Development Commissioner/Education Secretary. In the State Haryana Prathmik Shiksha Pariyojna Parishad (HPSPP) has been set-up headed by the State Project Director (SPD). All the administrative & implementation work of the SSA is under his control. He is also chief Executive Officer of the HPSPP.
12
The State Project Director is assisted by the supporting staff of officer & officials of different repute. There is a provision of 7 post of deputy Directors, one each of Plan & Monitoring, Gender, teacher Training, out of schools children (AIE) free supply of text books, Administration and Financial but four consultant (one each of Finance, Monitoring, AIE and Administration) had been appointed. The post of Chief Account Officers and 2 Junior Project Specialist, one system Analyst (Programme) 1 legal adviser, and ministerial staff (Clerk, Assistants etc.) were found in existence. As far as the Engineering wing is concerned 2 Executive Engineers along with. J.Es. had been deployed for the execution of civil works. The post of consultant, CAO, Junior Project Specialist and executive Engineer are filled on deputation basis. 3.2 District Level: At the district level, the staff generally consisted of a District Project Coordinator/District Elementary Education officer assisted by District Gender Coordinator, Accounts Officer, Dy. Superintendent, Accounts Clerk and Data Entry operator. The district wise position regarding staffing pattern in the districts is given in appendix-D. The following table gives the consolidated staff position as on 31.3.2008 for 4 selected (Ambala, Fatehabad, Mahendragarh & Rohtak) district.

The data in the table reveals that against 74 post sanctioned, 57(77.0%) posts were found in position i.e. 23% post were lying vacant at District level. The vacancies were highest in the category of Accounts Clerk, Data Entry Operator and DGC being as high as 50%, 34.6% and 31.8% respectively. 3.3 Block Level:- At the block level, one Block Resource Coordinator
(Block Elementary Education Officer) Assisted by ABRC, is responsible for the implementation of the programme. The BEEO has been given the additional charge of BRC. The staff position in respect of 8 selected blocks is given in Appendix-E The consolidated position of the staff sanctioned and in position in the 8 selected block is shown in the table below:-

The tabulated data of the table reveals that of the total 81 sanctioned posts, 57 posts(70.37%) were found in position. There was 24(29.63%)
shortfall in respect of the post of BEO-cum-BRC as well as ABRC. The phenomenon of actual deployment of staff falling short of the sanctioned strength, particularly at, state level, District Level and Block Level, indicated that the degree of organizational coordination remained below the optimum and planned levels. The number of posts in all categories lying vacant at the district level and block level were a drag on the full scale implementation of the programme, as either some portion of the work to be looked after by the incumbents of these posts accumulated or, as in the case of field staff, the areas to be covered by them remained inadequately attended or unblended.

Reasons for Post Remained Vacant The main reason for the posts remained vacant at different levels was
stated to be administrative delay. The process of recruitment (it was reported) was usually slow and time consuming. In some cases, the posts were held in abeyance or a lean was imposed on filling up the vacant posts and economy measure. In other cases, the posts remained vacant due to non availability of suitable candidates, i.e. candidates failed filling the required qualifications. The successful, implementation of a flagship programme of National importance, like Sarva Shiksha Abhiyan, rests to a large extent on the full complement of staff being in position at all levels, it is imperative that ways and means should be found to cut down administrative delays in filling up posts.

4.3
Teacher Training The teacher plays the pivotal role in teaching learning process and is
thereby instrumental in the improvement of quality within class rooms. In the class room setting, teachers competence depends greatly on their knowledge and skills in different subject areas, mastery of the same and padagogirial practices they adopt. In addition, teachers attitude towards children, their level of motivation, interest, commitment and ability to interact with parents and community members also contributes to the quality of teaching learning in class rooms. Teachers level of competency, depends fully on two aspects, preservice education and the in-service training, they have been exposed to before and after joining the teaching profession. At time, teachers have had no preservice education or are not adequately prepared to face the new challenges in the class rooms. The curriculum reform and development of new sets of textbooks in the states demand proper training of teachers to cope up with the new developments. In view of the above in-service training becomes a necessity. Heads of 20 selected schools of primary as well as upper primary were interviewed to know whether in service training was imparted or not? Of the
total 20 heads of educational institutions, 19(95.0%) were imparted training during last 2 years, one (5.0%), head of the institution who was directly new recruited was not imparted training. Out of the 19 heads who received training, 17(89.5%) had imparted in service training and 2 (10.5%) were imparted induction training. B) Usefulness of Teacher Training: As far as the usefulness of the training is concerned all the 19 heads of educational institutions told that training imparted was useful to some extent.
23
4.3A Effective Teacher Training. Opinion about effective teacher training was sought from 20 head of the institutions. Out of the 20 heads, 12(60.0%) were of the opinion that the training imparted to the teacher should be effective and qualitative. Teachers should be dedicated their selves in teaching work honestly.
24
4.4
Teaching Learning Material Teaching Learning Material (TLM) is an important medium that helps
in delivering the curriculum to the child in the class room. Teaching learning material include a wide variety of items such as text books, work books, teachers guides, teaching aids, learning aids (concrete material), educational kits, supplementary reading material, usable black board, etc. which are either directly or indirectly used of all the above mentioned materials, it has been observed that the text book is the main or some times the only tool which is available and is being used for teaching learning. There is a provision for an annual grant of Rs. 500/- to every teacher for the purpose of purchasing and developing teaching learning materials under SSA. Since teaching learning material plays a crucial role in actual curriculum transaction both at the primary and upper primary stages, it becomes necessary to assess the type, availability, suitability and usability of existing materials. In the course of field visits, information was collected from the heads of the 20 selected schools in respect of teaching Learning Material prepared/purchased with the grant of Rs. 500/- given to each teacher of the primary as well as upper primary schools. Teacher learning Material was found inadequate and not as per the latest curriculum of the present needs. It was observed that the T.L.M. prepared in the form of charts comprising alphabets of English as well as Hindi language were displayed on the walls of the school rooms. In majority of schools, the TLM prepared was stored in Drawing Rooms or in Hall (Big Rooms) and the Head-teacher asked why the relevant TLM charts/glows could not be displayed while teaching the students. It can be concluded that the teachers gave no importance to the TLM.
