<P> As an intervention programme , it started on 2010 and SSA has been operational since 2000 - 2001 . However , its roots go back to 1993 - 1994 , when the District Primary Education Programme ( DPEP ) was launched , with an aim of achieving the objective of universal primary education . DPEP , over several phases , covered 272 districts in 18 states of the country . The expenditure on the programme was shared by the Central Government ( 85 % ) and the State Governments . The Central share was funded by a number of external agencies , including the World Bank , DFID and UNICEF . By 2001 , more than US $1500 million had been committed to the programme , and 50 million children covered in its ambit . In an impact assessment of Phase I of DPEP , the authors concluded that its net impact on minority children was impressive , while there was little evidence of any impact on the enrolment of girls . Nevertheless , they concluded that the investment in DPEP was not a waste , because it introduced a new approach to primary school interventions in India . </P>
