Samagra Shiksha, NEP, and the politics behind the PM SHRI scheme
Kerala has now agreed to join the PM SHRI scheme, which aims to upgrade schools in line with the National Education Policy. The move is significant because both Kerala and Tamil Nadu had opposed the NEP, calling it exclusionary and against the spirit of federalism.
The controversy lies in how the Union government links education funds under Samagra Shiksha to the implementation of NEP, effectively turning an optional policy into a mandate. Pooja Prasanna explains how schemes like Samagra Shiksha, NEP and PM SHRI are connected, and what this means for the balance of power between the Union and the states.
