Port Blair, July 5: In his letter to the Principal Secretary (Education), the Member of Parliament Shri Bishnu Pada Ray has requested that free books be provided to all students irrespective of the category they belong to.

The MP said that during his visit to Campbell Bay, South Andaman and North & Middle Andaman in the month of June 2013, students as well as parents have complaint that free books are being provided only to BPL students of Class IX to XII, which is prejudiced.   

Bishnu has thus requested the Principal Secretary to look into the matter and make arrangements to supply free books at the earliest to all students irrespective of the category they belong to in order to continue their studies without any hindrance.
