Telangana sluggish in utilising Central education funds, says Ministry

The Ministry of Education has flagged Telangana’s “sluggish” disbursal of funds allotted by the Centre under the Samagra Shiksha scheme.

The Ministry sources said that while ₹225 crore had been sanctioned under the scheme by the Centre in FY2023-24, only ₹98 crore had been transferred by the State to the single nodal agency (SNA) account for the scheme. 

The scheme ensures infrastructural development, payment of salaries, provision of mid-day meals, uniforms, textbooks, smart classrooms and library facilities for schools.
