Following complaints by parents of some students, the Imphal West District Committee of the All Manipur Students' Union (AMSU) in an investigation found some schools under Wangoi Zone II are not issuing free text books to its students under the Sarva Shiksha Abhiyan.
In the investigation led by Leishangthem Romen and Sarangthem Manjit , AMSU found seven schools are not taking the text books from the ZEO even as the current session will be end in a few months.
The schools which were found in the drive were Haoreibi Girls LP School, Haoreibi MaKha Leikai LP School, Langthabal Kabui Primary School, Mangthabal Mantrikhong Primary School, Khodak Khongbal Primary School, Irom Meijrao New Primary School and Chingtham Leikai Popular Junior Higher School.
Expressing serious concern over the non distribution of the text books, AMSU aksed the Head of the schools to come to the Head Office of the union within 10 days and give the reason why they did not take the books.
It further said that the committee will carry on the investigation drive in other areas of Imphal West if any of the school in the district did not distribute the free text books to the students.
