Keralam govt to decide on PM-SHRI scheme after cabinet panel report: Minister
Samsudheen said there were differences between the Centre and the State over the implementation of the scheme
The Kerala government will decide on the implementation of the PM-SHRI scheme following a report from a special Cabinet sub-committee, according to General Education Minister N. Samsudheen. The decision comes after the previous Left Democratic Front (LDF) government signed an agreement with the Central government to implement the scheme, only for it to be put on hold due to opposition from within the ruling front.
The United Democratic Front (UDF) government, which opposed the scheme, subsequently appointed the sub-committee to examine the matter. Samsudheen acknowledged differences between the Centre and the State regarding the scheme's implementation, stating that the previous government had signed the agreement and assured the Centre of its implementation.
He emphasized that there is no urgency to make a decision, indicating that a decision will be made later.
