    This is the best I evver heard from our Govt till now.It allows atleast poor children to have education without much burden ,but same time would be still better to reduce or fees to discuss.That should be reduced ?Important is it should happen at right time but not at the end of year saying it was not released or were not available.We know how it is with govt.free things.

    Free text books is one thing, which is good. But upgradation of Govt schools with proper teachers and basic infrastructure is what is required on war footing. Also give free travel to students than to the women. at least our children will ne encouraged to attend school if this is done

    Free books is ok but how about age norms children and parents stuck in between forced to pay again fees to school for repeated classes adding financial burden and mental distress, no one in government is looking into the matter.
