Thiruvananthapuram, Oct 29 (PTI) The Kerala government will review the implementation of the Centre's PM SHRI scheme in the state in the wake of controversies and concerns that have come up in this regard, Chief Minister Pinarayi Vijayan said here on Wednesday.

He said a seven-member Cabinet sub-committee has been constituted to study the implementation of the central school scheme.

The CM's announcement follows strong objections from the CPI, a key LDF ally, against the PM SHRI alleging that it would pave the way for the implementation of the RSS agenda in the education sector in the state.

Though the government had initially justified the signing of MoU to secure central funds, the CPI argued that joining the scheme would be seen as a deviation from the proclaimed policy of the LDF.
