SC tells Centre: Don’t frame schemes you can’t implement

The remark came as the bench underscored the sluggish ace of the Centre in implementing the ‘Babu Jagjivan Ram Chhatrawas Yojana’ to provide hostels to students belonging to backward classes.

As the bench examined the status report, Additional Solicitor General P S Narasimha submitted that the central government was taking all the steps, including disbursal of funds, for construction of the hostels and that it was now for the state governments to implement it.
