In latest news from Doon, Uttarakhand government received Rs 144 crore from Centre under Samagra Sikhhsa Abhiyan (SSA). Notably, it is the first time that the Centre sanctioned the fourth tranche of funds under SSA in a single financial year. While informing this, the State Education minister Dhan Singh Rawat appreciated the works being done by the State Education department officers, adding that the funds just received should be utilised fully and in time.
Though normally the Centre releases funds under SSA in four instalments in a financial year only three instalments came for some years. Now, restoration of the normal norm is being deemed as an achievement of the State government.
