As per the earlier claims of education department, the books were to be made available to students of Classes 1 to 5 on the first day of the session. The department was supposed to send these books to the city’s 108 government schools.

The idea behind distributing these workbooks is to make students have a better understanding of the concepts with the help of pictures and illustrations in the workbooks.

According to the officials, 27 workbooks are to be printed for various subjects and in different languages for the students.

“We are yet to get the workbooks, though textbooks have already been distributed to the students,” a government school principal said.

As per the sources, the set deadline for the vendor to provide the workbooks was April 4 but the department is yet to receive the complete lot of books as the vendor has sent the books in separate lots.
