Kerala government gives sanction for KSHEC’s ₹99.95-crore action plan

The State government has accorded administrative sanction for an action plan comprising projects worth ₹99.95 crore that will be spearheaded by the Kerala State Higher Education Council (KSHEC). The package, meant for the 2022-23 fiscal, is bound to provide impetus to the higher education modernisation initiatives of the advisory body.

The allocation, the highest since the council’s inception in 2007, is reflective of the KSHEC’s role in the government’s plans to overhaul higher education in the State. It usually receives a budgetary allocation of ₹16 crore.

According to Higher Education Minister R. Bindu, the council’s initiative to form an e-Journal consortium of universities and the ongoing digital enablement scheme ‘Let’s Go Digital’ have received ₹20 crore each.
