The Centre has written to Keralam government asking it to take a decision on the PM SHRI scheme at the earliest, General Education Minister N Samsudheen said on Friday.
Samsudheen said the letter from the union education secretary to the state chief secretary was received two days ago about the implementation of PM SHRI, and the government would discuss the matter before taking a decision.
"The letter from the union education secretary
to our chief secretary states that a decision must be taken at the earliest so that the remaining schemes can move forward. It has been two or three days since it was received. We will discuss it in this context," he told reporters.
He said the state's stance on the scheme would be made clear after the discussions. "I cannot make a statement on my own. The chief minister, along with our UDF leadership, will decide, and the CM will make the announcement," he said.
