Sports funds lapse as Haryana govt schools get only a few hours to shop

Haryana government schools faced a logistical nightmare as Rs 12.8 crore for sports facilities under the Samagra Shiksha Scheme was allocated on March 30 for the financial year ending March 31. Schools received funds late on a public holiday, leaving insufficient time to follow procurement norms, potentially leading to funds lapsing or being returned.
