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.
