Abstract
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 specic challenges through bi-lateral discussions with district ofcials. 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, ofcials were reached out through
telephone and email. However, as all the education ofcials were roped in to monitor and implement
different COVID measures, no discussion could be scheduled.
While the interactions with District education ofcials 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.
