The most grey areas reported is the Functioning of School Management Committees. It seems that the district offices are simply consolidating the Block Monitoring Formats and submitting to State without analysing it at their levels. The districts need to go through the reports submitted by the blocks and provide positive feedbacks to Block Resource Coordinators to materialize the mandate of Section 22 of the RTE Act 2009.
The above consolidation doesn't include Learners' Assessment of Summative Assessment I.
