In addition to the examination review, Pradhan also assessed the availability and distribution of textbooks published by the National Council of Educational Research and Training (NCERT) for the ongoing academic session. He directed officials to enhance printing capacity and strengthen supply chains to ensure that no student faces delays in receiving their textbooks, particularly in rural areas. His proactive measures aim to facilitate a seamless educational experience for students nationwide.
