They made the alleged negligence of the National Council for Educational Research and Training (Ncert), the Office responsible for the distribution of textbooks, for a crisis that persists even if it remains for the first exams.
“Classes in Kendriya Vidyalayas began 1 April, but study materials have so far only been available to online teachers. In addition, students cannot be expected to face tests without textbooks.
