The state government has decided to suspend further steps on the central school scheme until a cabinet sub-committee submits its report. The decision follows internal discussions within the ruling Left alliance.
NEW DELHI: The Kerala government will review the implementation of the Centre's PM SHRI in the state in the wake of controversies and concerns that have come up in this regard, Chief Minister Pinarayi Vijayan said here on Wednesday. He said a seven-member Cabinet sub-committee has been constituted to study the implementation of the central school scheme.
The further proceedings with regard to its implementation would be put on hold until the subcommittee submits its report, he said while briefing the media about the decisions taken during the cabinet meeting here. "This will be communicated to the Centre through a letter," Vijayan said.
Cabinet panel to study PM SHRI implementation
General Education Minister V Sivankutty would be the chairman of the cabinet sub-committee in which ministers K Rajan, P Rajeeve, Roshy Augustine, K Prasad, K Krishnsnkutty and A K Saseendran would be the members, the CM added.
Earlier, multi-level discussions had been held by CPI (M) and CPI leaders under the aegis of Vijayan for the past few days to arrive at a consensus on the matter. Though CM Vijayan directly intervened in the matter, the deadlock could not be resolved, as the state and national leadership of the CPI have taken a strong stand against Kerala's joining the PM SHRI.
