(i)EGS Centres: Existing EGS centres will continue to be supported for a period of two years (2010-11, 2011-12) during which period States would take steps to convert the EGS centres into regular primary schools. No new EGS centres will be sanctioned under SSA with effect from the financial year 2010-11. In case, the existing EGS centre is not required to be converted into a regular school, on account of an existing neighbourhood school, the EGS center would be closed down and children mainstreamed in the neighbourhood school.
