Uttar Pradesh Basic Education Project Annual Work-Plan & Budget 1996-97

Abstract

In 1996-97, the UP Basic Education Project will reach the mid-point of its seven year life span. The first three years (actually, the project became operational only in the latter part of 1993-94 and has, therefore, completed only about 28 months till now) have been devoted to putting project infrastructure in place and to initiating interventions aimed at improving the quality of basic education. Institutional capacity has been developed by establishing SIEMAT, strengthening DIETs and setting up Block Resource Centres and Nyaya Panchayat Resource Centres. The civil works implementation programme which has been the major preoccupation and cause for concern during the first phase of the Project, is now nearing completion.
