EDUCATION GUARANTEE SCHEME AND ALTERNATIVE & INNOVATIVE EDUCATION
|
11.Voluntary Agency proposals: 11.1
For Experimental and Innovative projects and for establishment of
District Resource Units (DRUs), the proposals would be received directly
by the Department of Elementary Education and Literacy, GOI.
The funding to DRUs run by VAs
would be reviewed based on assessment of the capacity of the
existing VAs to support
projects under EGS & AIE.
11.2 For other VA proposals for EGS & AIE centres/bridge courses
etc., VAs would need to apply to the block/district/state level. The exact
procedure for calling of VA proposals, their sanctioning and dovetailing
with district level EGS & AIE proposals should be notified by each
state government/society for EGS & AIE/SSA. The state societies would
need to draw up clear guidelines for processing of the VA proposals and
also deciding at which level these would get incorporated into the plans.
The states should study the application forms and fund release procedure
presently in use by Government of India for VA proposals (refer Annex
VI
). 11.3 The GIAC at the state level should consider all
VA proposals that are sent to the state level as a part of the district
plan. If some VA proposals
are not recommended at the district level, they should still be forwarded
to the state level by the District Committee, with clearly recorded
reasons. After GIAC recommendation, the entire district proposal
(including the VA component) would be considered by the state society.
11.4 Since the EGS & AIE programme is sought to be completely
reoriented and the interventions for `out of school’ children would now
form a part of the entire UEE effort, the state society & district
level structures would be responsible for informing and orienting VAs
about the EGS & AIE, allocating specific strategies or pockets to VAs as a part of the
overall plan for UEE for the whole district. This information may be
circulated to VAs along with the application forms prior to the planning
process. VAs with a good track record may be approached directly by state
and district level personnel to ensure their participation. 11.5
A list of VAs whose performance has not been satisfactory under NFE
programme as per GOI records would be communicated to the state societies
for EGS & AIE/SSA. All
matters of financial assistance to VAs for projects under the existing NFE
scheme upto 31-3-2001 would be finalised by the Government of India.
