PMK Condemns Tamil Nadu Order Asking Headmasters to Fund Breakfast Scheme Costs
PMK president Anbumani Ramadoss criticized Tamil Nadu's School Education Department for instructing school headmasters to cover expenses for expanding the Perunthalaivar Kamarajar Breakfast Scheme to Class 8 students. He highlighted that schools must fund infrastructure improvements and supplies costing Rs 8,000 to Rs 10,000 per school without government financial support. Ramadoss called the directive unjust and urged the government to withdraw the circular and directly fund these initial costs to maintain integrity and discipline in schools.
