Narayanasamy requests restoration of funding for development of educational institutions

Chief Minister V Narayanasamy today requested the Centre to restore cent percent funding for development of higher educational institutions in the Union Territory. He made the request at a meeting with Union HRD Minister Prakash Javadekar in New Delhi today.

The cent percent grant was sought under the Centrally sponsored scheme of RUSA (Rashtriya Uchachakar Siksha Abhiyan), a release from the Chief Minister's office said. It said Puducherry earlier used to get cent percent grant, but the Centre had brought it down to the ratio of 60:40.
