NEW DELHI: The Centre has decided to reduce its share of funding in the flagship Sarva Siksha Abhiyan (SSA) programme from 65 per cent to 50 per cent, a move that could trigger strong protest from the states.
The revised funding would be in the 50:50 pattern instead of 65:35.
The scheme, which seeks universalisation of elementary education, has already seen a steep slash in allocation this fiscal, down from Rs 27,758 crore allocated in 2014-15 to Rs 22,000 crore in 2015-16.
