The central government has reduced the Samagra Shiksha fund earmarked for Tamil Nadu, marking a decline for the second straight year.
The Samagra Shiksha fund, part of the central government’s effort to strengthen primary education, has seen a reduction in the amount allocated to Tamil Nadu.
For the second consecutive year, the state’s share has dipped, a trend that mirrors similar declines in other states.
The scheme, which finances school infrastructure, teacher training and learning materials, is expected to continue under the current allocation, though at a lower level.
Officials say the change reflects a broader review of state performance and fiscal constraints, but the government remains committed to improving education outcomes.
Tamil Nadu’s education department will now work with the Ministry of Education to adjust its plans to the revised funding.
