Economics & Disaster Management textbook for class 10 error-free: JKBOSE

Srinagar, Feb 16: Jammu and Kashmir Board of School Education (JKBOSE) on Sunday clarified that the copies of the Economics & Disaster Management textbook for class 10 currently available in the market do not contain any errors.
An official from JKBOSE said that the authorities have become aware of a message circulating on social media, which has caused unnecessary concern among the public, particularly among students, regarding a supposed printing error where “UT” was printed instead of “state” in the textbook.
“The stakeholders are hereby informed that the copies of this textbook available for market distribution are free from such errors; all members of civil society can access the online version at the JKBOSE website https://jkbose.nic.in/pdf/class10thdisastermanagement.pdf,” the official remarked.
He said that JKBOSE prepares/publishes more than 145 titles in a session, which is a laborious task wherein many experts from schools, colleges, universities, and connoisseurs in the relevant fields are involved at various levels in the process of development, review, and proofreading. During this rigorous process of development of a textbook, the possibilities of errors are minimized.
“If any error is located by the students, teachers, or parents in any textbook published by the JKBOSE, it should be verified from or brought to the notice of the BOSE authorities for its rectification, but not in the social media, as this act may malign the image of this grand organization, which has always been a forerunner in addressing the student issues even in the toughest times in the past.
“It is a fact that the stakeholders’ feedback is integral for the continual improvement of services. We earnestly advise the students, educators, and parents to obtain the latest version of the textbook from registered booksellers to ensure that they have accurate and relevant content in hand. We request one and all to refrain from sharing or discussing any issue negatively on social media platforms, as this may perturb the student community during the ongoing examination,” the official added.
JKBOSE reiterated its commitment to work for the furtherance of quality initiatives in all spheres of its operation and shall always endeavor to maintain a prominent place in the education sector of the country.
