TPV Shagunotsav

The Department of School Education & Literacy along with the States and UTs is implementing centrally sponsored scheme(TPV Shagunotsav) of Samagra Shiksha and Mid-Day Meals (MDM) for improving the quality of education and infrastructure of schools. Samagra Shiksha envisages school as a continuum from pre-school to senior secondary levels, extends funding support to States and UTs for various interventions as outlined in the scheme.

Data on various school parameters are collected through the tools of Unified District Information System for Education (UDISE), SHAGUN, Project Monitoring System (PMS) and Performance Grading Index (PGI) and TPV Shagunotsav to assess the quality and infrastructure at school level, however, the same is not corroborated through field visits. Therefore, a need was felt to take up the exercise of school based census to cover each and every school to ascertain the adequacy of infrastructure facilities, teachers, students, school management and community participation.
