Keralam govt to decide on PM-SHRI scheme after cabinet panel report: Minister
The Kerala government has deferred a decision on implementing the PM-SHRI school scheme until a special Cabinet sub-committee submits its report. The state government is currently navigating conflicting commitments made by the previous administration and its own policy stance.
Why it matters
The delay reflects ongoing political friction between the state government and the central government regarding educational policy implementation.
General Education Minister N. Samsudheen on Sunday said the Keralam government would take a decision on implementing the PM-SHRI scheme only after receiving the report of a special Cabinet sub-committee examining the matter.
The previous LDF government had signed an agreement with the Centre to implement the Prime Minister’s Schools for Rising India scheme in the State. However, implementation was later put on hold following opposition from within the ruling front.
After coming to power, the UDF government, which had opposed the scheme, appointed a special Cabinet sub-committee to examine the matter.
