Tamil Nadu Chief Minister MK Stalin on Monday wrote to his counterparts of 12 States Andhra Pradesh, Chhattisgarh, Delhi, Jharkhand, Kerala, Maharashtra, Odisha, Punjab, Rajasthan, Telangana, West Bengal and Goa on the need to put up a integrated effort to restore the primacy of State governments in administering the education sector, as anticipate in the Constitution. He recalled a resolution adopted against the National Eligibility-cum-Entrance Test (NEET) in the Assembly. Our scrutinized position has always been that the move by the Union Government to introduce NEET goes against the spirit of federalism and breach the constitutional balance of power by curbing the rights of the State governments to decide on the method of admission in the medical institutions founded, established and run by them,” the letter said.
