Bihar government has failed to get Rs 865.29 crore as grant from the Centre during 2001 to 2005 due to low spending under the Sarva Shiksha Abhiyan, according to the CAG.
The Comptroller and Auditor General of India in its report for the year ended March 31, 2006, said Bihar Shiksha Pariyojana Parishad sent utilisation certificate of Rs 421.43 crore (69 per cent of funds received from the Centre) to the Government of India without receipt of utilisation certificate from the districts.
The major interventions were directed towards creation of basic physical infrastructure like construction of new school buildings, additional class rooms, toilets and provision of drinking water, the CAG in its report said.
Despite provision of Rs 130.41 crore on civil works in nine test-checked districts, most of the works remained incomplete, it noticed.
Rs 61.60 crore spent on teaching and learning materials, teaching and learning equipments, school development grant, training to teachers, purchase of computer and others failed to provide quality education as teacher pupil ratio was far in excess of the prescribed norms.
