Ringing
The story so far: In a dramatic U-turn, Kerala which, along with Tamil Nadu and West Bengal, had refused to sign a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) for implementing the Centrally sponsored education scheme PM SHRI (PM Schools for Rising India), has now become a signatory to it. PM SHRI schools are designed to showcase the implementation of the National Education Policy 2020 (NEP) that Kerala has criticised fiercely from the outset.Launched in 2022, the PM SHRI aims at creating 14,500 exemplar institutions across the country that showcase various aspects of the NEP. It has a total outlay of â¹27,360 crore (â¹18,128 crore as Central share) for five years.
