West Bengal Education Minister accuses central government of withholding SSM funds due to non-signing of PM SHRI scheme MoU.

West Bengal Education Minister Bratya Basu accuses the Indian central government of withholding the third instalment of Sarva Shiksha Mission (SSM) funds due to the state's non-signing of an MoU for the PM SHRI scheme. Basu calls this move "unethical and illegal," as funding should not be tied to separate schemes. The SSM is an integrated education program from pre-school to Class XII, aligned with SDG-4.
