Pak Girl’s Photo On Bihar School Notebooks For ‘Beti Bachao, Beti Padhao’ Campaign
Chief minister Nitish Kumar has ordered a probe into the use of a picture of a Pakistani girl drawing her national flag on the cover of schoolchildren’s notebooks to promote government initiatives like ‘Beti Bachao, Beti Padhao’. The initiatives are aimed at promoting girl’s education as well as creating awareness about the importance of cleanliness. The notebooks were distributed free among students of several government schools in the district. “The work order was given in December last year. At least 5,000 notebooks were printed. Of them, 200 and odd notebooks were distributed among children,” the DM said and added the undistributed copies were recalled after the matter came to light.
