Education and Welfare Department has supplied text books to students belonging to SC/BC categories in the state complying with the directives of the Punjab State Commission for Scheduled Castes.
During a surprise checking of various schools across the state by Commission Chairman Rajesh Bagha earlier this month, it was noticed SC/BC students did not get the text books despite starting of academic session a month ago.
Considering the apathetic approach of the Education and Welfare Department towards SC/BC students, Bagha directed it to ensure the availability and delivery of books to the students within fortnight, an official spokesman said here today.
"Non delivery of books to these students was directly affecting their studies," Bagha observed.
