TAMIL NADU Chief Minister MK Stalin and Union Education Minister Dharmendra Pradhan exchanged allegations on Monday over the nonrelease of funds for the Samagra Shiksha (SS) scheme to Tamil Nadu by the Centre.
Citing a media report, Stalin in his 'X' post said the Union government was denying funds to the states that are performing better in the outcomes of the SS scheme just because they are not implementing the National Education Policy (NEP). On the contrary, the Centre is "generously rewarding those who are not delivering on the objectives," he said.
"Is this how the BJP government plans to promote quality education and equity? I leave it to the wisdom of our nation and our people to decide!" he added.
