Members of the students' body today submitted memorandums to the Sub-divisional Officers (SDOs) (Civil), Deputy Commissioners (DCs) and the District Elementary Education Officers (DEOs) demanding immediate supply of the textbooks to the school children.
The AASU in a statement here today said that the students of many schools of the State have been made to spend five months of an academic year without course books.
