    BUDGETARY ANALYSIS OF SAMAGRA SHIKSHA ABHIYAN
    (Child Rights and You (CRY), 2020) Kundu, Protiva; Rastogi, Drishti
    The study aimed to collect planning and budgeting related information for SMSA from Sitapur and Chittoor district. The other objective was perspective building on the functioning of the schemes and district specic challenges through bi-lateral discussions with district ofcials. However, in the rst three months of 2020, due to a series of events like spread of swine u, disturbance because of public protests and then outbreak of COVID-19, travel to Sitapur, which comes under Lucknow division of Uttar Pradesh, has not been possible. As an alternative strategy, ofcials were reached out through telephone and email. However, as all the education ofcials were roped in to monitor and implement different COVID measures, no discussion could be scheduled. While the interactions with District education ofcials in Chittoor were fruitful in gathering information about the functioning of SMSA, they were not willing to share scheme-related expenditure data for the district. As a result, information on challenges related to fund ow and fund utilisation etc. under SMSA could not be corroborated.
