Kerala opts out of PM SHRI school scheme, plans legal action over withheld funds
THIRUVANANTHAPURAM: Kerala Education Minister on Wednesday said that the state will not sign the agreement to implement the Centre's flagship PM Schools for Rising India (PM SHRI) scheme. "At the meeting, barring the student wing (ABVP) of the RSS, the general decision that has been arrived at by all the student unions is that Kerala need not sign the agreement. Both the SFI (the student wing of the CPI-M) and the KSU (student wing of the Congress) agreed to it," Sivankutty said, after a meeting with recognised student unions. "The federal principles are very clear, and hence it's the prerogative of the signing authority to sign or not, and none can force anyone to sign on the dotted line," he added. "We operate based on a poll manifesto, and in it, there is no mention of this, and hence we cannot sign this," the minister said. When the decision was being arrived at the meeting, the representatives of the ABVP, after expressing their strong desire that Kerala should sign the agreement, walked out of the office of Sivankutty. The minister also pointed out that the Kerala government will seek legal recourse against the Centre's decision to withhold the release of Rs 1,500 crore to the state under various centrally sponsored education schemes. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like เทรด CFDs ด้วยเทคโนโลยีเทรดสุดล้ำ และ รวดเร็วกว่า IC Markets อ่านเพิ่มเติม Undo PM SHRI is a scheme under the Union Ministry of Education, aiming to upgrade more than 14,500 existing schools across the country, and transform them into model institutions that embody the spirit of the National Education Policy-2020.

State will not join PM SHRI, says Sivankutty

General education minister V Sivankutty announced the decision on Wednesday after a meeting with student organizations. Sivankutty said that enrolling in PM SHRI scheme would be suicidal because it means accepting NEP (National Education Policy). He added that all student groups, except ABVP, wanted the govt to reject the scheme. Earlier, CPM had decided to join the scheme because the state would lose a significant amount of central assistance if it skipped the initiative. State govt also said the Centre was withholding its share of several education schemes because Kerala refused to join PM SHRI. Sivankutty had brought the scheme to the state cabinet for approval, but CPI representatives in the govt objected and vetoed it. After that, Sivankutty criticized CPI state secretary Binoy Viswam and questioned whether the agriculture department, led by the CPI minister, would also refuse to sign several central govt schemes. Sivankutty said the Centre withheld around Rs 1,500 crore owed to Kerala. He added that the state govt is exploring legal options to recover the funds after repeated appeals to the Centre failed. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like 40세 넘고 PC만 있으면? 이 게임 완전 내 거임!
