Which of the following is not a component merged into the Samagra Shiksha Scheme ?
Mid-Day Meal Scheme
Samagra Shiksha, launched in 2018, merged three earlier centrally sponsored schemes that dealt with schooling from pre-primary to class twelve — Sarva Shiksha Abhiyan, Rashtriya Madhyamik Shiksha Abhiyan and Teacher Education. The purpose was to treat school education as one continuum instead of funding each stage separately.
The Mid-Day Meal Scheme was not folded into it. It remained a distinct scheme addressing nutrition and attendance rather than schooling inputs, and was later renamed PM POSHAN in 2021, continuing under the Ministry of Education in its own right.
So the three education-stage programmes are inside Samagra Shiksha while the nutrition programme stands outside it.
Hence, the component not merged into Samagra Shiksha is the Mid-Day Meal Scheme.
