After the government of Kerala raised demands for funds concerning the mid-day meal scheme - PM-POSHAN - run by the Ministry of Education (MoE), the Centre has stated that it has transferred ₹132.90 crores to the state. The MoE has further added that the Kerala government was expected to transfer the same amount from its treasury to the State Nodal Account (SNA), along with a matching state share of ₹76.78 crore.
“However, Kerala has not completed this transfer, rendering itself ineligible for any further release,” MoE has said in a statement.
MoE has notified of the same to the Kerala government in an email dated September 8 and the matter was also discussed in an in-person meeting.
