New Delhi, March 11 -- Union Education Minister Dharmendra Pradhan on Tuesday said that he stood by his earlier statement in the Lok Sabha that the DMK-led Tamil Nadu government had taken a "U-turn" on implementing the centrally sponsored PM SHRI scheme, which seeks to strengthen schools managed by the Centre, State, or Local bodies. He also urged Chief Minister MK Stalin to" not view NEP 2020 from a political lens."

in a post on X, Pradhan also shared a letter dated 15th March 2024, by then Tamil Nadu Chief Secretary Shiv Das Meena to M Sanjay Kumar, Secretary to the Union Education Ministry, informing that, "The State of Tamil Nadu is very keen to sign the MoU for establishing the PM SHRI schools in the State."
