Sarva Shiksha Abhiyan

The primary objective of the Sarva Shiksha Abhiyan is to provide free and compulsory education to all children aged 6-14 years, in accordance with the Right to Education Act, 2009.

The key components of the Sarva Shiksha Abhiyan include access, quality, and equity; infrastructure, teacher training, and community participation; curriculum development, textbooks, and assessment.

The target year for achieving universal elementary education in India is 2025.

In 2020-21, there were approximately 210 million children enrolled in elementary schools in India.

The pupil-teacher ratio in elementary schools in India is approximately 30:1.

The dropout rate in elementary schools in India is approximately 15%.

The literacy rate in India is approximately 75%.

The gender gap in literacy in India is approximately 15%.

The importance of Sarva Shiksha Abhiyan lies in the fact that it helps to achieve universal elementary education in India, improves the quality of elementary education in India, and reduces the dropout rate in elementary schools in India.

The challenges faced by the Sarva Shiksha Abhiyan include lack of infrastructure, shortage of teachers, high dropout rates, and disparities in access to education.
