The correct answer is: a) Assessing the quality of education.
The Gunotsav program is an annual education quality assurance program in Assam, India. It was launched in 2011 by the Government of Assam to assess the quality of education in government schools. The program focuses on assessing the learning outcomes of students, the teaching practices of teachers, and the overall functioning of schools.
The Gunotsav program is conducted in two phases. The first phase is the school-based assessment, which is conducted by the school management committee. The second phase is the district-level assessment, which is conducted by a team of government officials.
The Gunotsav program has been successful in improving the quality of education in Assam. The program has helped to identify the areas where schools need improvement and has provided the necessary support to schools to improve their performance.
The other options are incorrect because:
- Option b) Teacher training is not the focus of the Gunotsav program. However, the program does provide training to teachers on how to improve their teaching practices.
- Option c) Mid-day meals are provided to students in government schools in Assam, but this is not the focus of the Gunotsav program.
- Option d) Construction of schools is not the focus of the Gunotsav program. However, the program does provide funds to schools for infrastructure development.
