SSA - Himachal Pradesh Perspective Plan 2002-2010 District Sirmour Nahan

Abstract

From Introduction: Arduous efforts have been made in the last for decades for the Universalization of Elementary Education and to fulfil the mandate of the Indian constitution. The National Policy on Education 1986 and 1992 also gave top priority to the achievement of universal elementary education. Many projects and programmes at the micro and macro levels have been undertaken in the past in this direction. Experiences have shown that with all the past interventions, there has been considerable progress h providing access to primary education, increase in enrolment and retention, improvement in school attendance and generation of strong demand for education specially for girls. However, pupil achievement has been low and there have been interstate and inter-district differences in pupils attendance and achievement level.
