Vijay urges Centre to release funds for education
Gulf Today
|June 12, 2026
Tamil Nadu Chief Minister C. Joseph Vijay on Thursday urged the Union government to release the pending Rs 3,984 crore education funds due to the state without linking them to the implementation of the National Education Policy (NEP), 2020, and its three-language formula.
-
Addressing the 11th Governing Council meeting of NITI Aayog chaired by Prime Minister Narendra Modi in New Delhi, Chief Minister Vijay said that education was a Constitutional responsibility and financial assistance meant for school education should not be withheld on policy grounds.
He stressed that Tamil Nadu had consistently achieved high standards in education and that the release of funds should not be conditional upon the adoption of the NEP or the trilingual policy.
