DOUBLING down on his claim that Tamil Nadu government went back on its promise to implement the National Education Policy 2020 in state schools, Union Minister for Education Dharmendra Pradhan on Tuesday tweeted a letter dated March 15, 2024, written by TN's then Chief Secretary Shiv Das Meena to the Union Education Ministry.

The letter, the minister claimed, is a proof that Tamil Nadu did a "U-turn" after agreeing to implement the PM-SHRI scheme, including the provisions to implement the National Education Policy and the three-language policy to get the funds under Samagra Shiksha (SS) scheme released.

The letter, which was already been reported by media last year, said that the state is "very keen" to sign the MoU for the PM SHRI scheme "based on the recommendations of the committee" it has constituted in this regard. The letter was sent to request the centre to release the SS funds for the year 2023-24, which had been withheld until then, based on the state's assurance that the MoU would be signed soon.
