DIMAPUR, JANUARY 25 (MExN): The Naga Students’ Federation (NSF) has reminded the Nagaland State Minister for School Education with regard to the issue of free textbooks and school uniforms.
In a letter to the Minister, the NSF reminded that it along with federating units had undertaken several rounds of physical verification to various government schools in 2017 and in the course of the verification “it was evident that, in the past few years there has been serious delay in distribution of texts books and school uniforms.”
There have also been several cases where schools had faced problems due to shortage of supply of study materials to the students, the NSF said.
It therefore asked the Minister to make necessary arrangements on distribution of study materials and readymade school uniforms or uniform materials with stitching cost, so that the students would be able to avail the facilities on time before the start of their academic sessions.
Failure on the part of the Department to address these matters on time, the Federation will be compel to resort to its own course of action as deemed fit, the NSF cautioned.
