Kerala to Decide on PM-SHRI Scheme After Sub-Committee Report, Minister Says
Kerala's General Education Minister N Samsudheen stated the state cannot unilaterally withdraw from the PM-SHRI scheme as the MoU signed by the previous government lacks such a provision. A Cabinet sub-committee is reviewing the matter, and decisions will follow its report. The government maintains that public schools must follow the state curriculum. The minister also noted the state is considering legal options regarding withheld funds under centrally sponsored schemes, while referencing Punjab's recent withdrawal and resumption of the scheme.
