Centre Links Release of Samagra Shiksha Funds for Tamil Nadu to NEP Implementation
The Union government has reiterated that the release of Samagra Shiksha Abhiyan (SSA) funds to Tamil Nadu is contingent on the state's implementation of the National Education Policy (NEP) 2020. While the Right to Education (Entitlements) component will be released in due course, Tamil Nadu has not signed the Memorandum of Understanding for the PM Schools for Rising India scheme and has declined to implement the NEP's three-language formula. Allocations for Tamil Nadu under SSA have decreased over recent years, and the state has not received the full central share since 2024.
