Answer 1

Correct Answer - Option 4 : SSA, RMSA and TE

Samagra Shiksha

• Samagra Shiksha is a sector-wide development program that subsumes the then-existing Centrally Sponsored Schemes of Sarva Shiksha Abhiyan (SSA), Rashtriya Madhyamik Shiksha Abhiyan (RMSA), and Teacher Education (TE) to help to harmonize the implementation mechanisms and transaction costs at all levels.
• The shift in the focus is from project objectives to improving systems-level performance and schooling outcomes which will be the emphasis of the combined Scheme along-with incentivizing states towards improving the quality of education.
• The Integrated Scheme envisages the ‘school’ as a continuum from pre-school, primary, upper primary, secondary to senior secondary levels. 
• The major objectives of the Scheme are the provision of quality education and enhancing learning outcomes of students; Bridging Social and Gender Gaps in School Education
• The Samagra Shiksha is implemented as a Centrally Sponsored Scheme by the Department through a single State Implementation Society (SIS) at the State/UT level.

Therefore, we can conclude that SSA, RMSA, and TE schemes have been subsumed in Samagra Shiksha.
