Keralam Minister Seeks Explanation on RSS-Linked Exam in Govt Schools

Keralam Minister N Samsudheen on Saturday sought an explanation from the Director of General Education over the department’s approval for a scholarship exam organised in association with a right-wing group’s publication.

The move follows media reports that the Education Department had granted permission for the Young Scholar Exam 2026, organised by the National



Teachers’ Union (NTU) in association with Mayilpeely magazine.

Mayilpeely is the publication of Balagokulam, a right-wing organisation active among children in the state.

The General Education minister has asked the department concerned to submit a detailed report explaining the circumstances in which the permission was granted, according to a statement.
