Centre owes Tamil Nadu ₹5,109 crore in education funds
The state says Samagra Shiksha and related grants are pending after a Centre-state stand-off over PM SHRI / NEP.
The Tamil Nadu government says the Centre has withheld ₹5,109 crore in education scheme funds over the last three years. The School Education Policy Note lists Samagra Shiksha and related grants as pending. A Centre-state stand-off over PM SHRI / NEP is the main backdrop. ₹714 crore linked to RTE was released only after a Supreme Court direction, the state says.
