of the RTE Act, 2009 by Parliament, the SSA norms were revised to harmonise with RTE provisions. Funds under SSA are provided for more than 40 interventions such as opening of new schools, residential school facilities, additional class rooms, provisioning for teachers, periodic teacher training etc. The SSA Framework also provides support for additional teachers to maintain Pupil Teacher Ratio (PTR) in schools and teachers for new elementary schools opened under SSA programme. Part of the funds required for such positions approved and filled-up under the SSA programme were met by the Central and State Governments. Since the recruitment and other service matters of these teachers are under the domain of State Govts. and UTs, the salary and pay fixation for these teachers was done by the respective States and UTs.
