A Decentralised Model of School Management
Full text linkThe Panchayat Elementary Education Officer (PEEO) structure in Rajasthan offers a model for decentralising school management to the level of each Gram Panchayat. This model was initiated in 2015-16 across the state and evolved into its current form by 2017-18.
