The books of the next session will reach about 20,000 government schools in the state in March itself. PSEB (Punjab School Education Board) will be tasked with dispatching around 2.25 crore books to its area depots by the end of February. The printing work of these 1.25 crore books has almost been completed. For the past several years, there has been a complaint from students as well as parents that they get books after half of the session is over.
Every year students and their parents complain that they are not getting complete books even though the session is half over. In such a situation, PSEB has set the target of printing books in February itself, so that books are delivered to all schools in March. Apart from government schools, the board also sells books of various subjects to private schools. In many districts including Ludhiana, the supply of books from 6th to 12th for the session 2022-23 could not be completed.
