Jammu and Kashmir Board of School Education (JKBOSE) on Monday, February 15, organized a two day workshop to initiate translation of the Environmental Studies textbooks from Class 3 to 5 and of Mathematics textbooks from Class 1 to 5, into four official languages (Urdu, Dogri, Kashmiri and Hindi).

JKBOSE Chairman, Professor Veena Pandita inaugurated the workshop and JKBOSE Secretary, Maneesha Sareen, presided over the programme.

Professor Pandita congratulated the Academic Section of JKBOSE for taking the lead in translating the textbooks into four official languages for the primary classes.

"Nothing is more facilitating in knowledge acquisition than the expression of ideas in the language one is born and brought up. The children grasp the essence of non-trivial concepts in their own local language quickly and providing texts in their mother tongue shall be a potent medium to use the power of language in enhancing the competence of learners," Ms Pandita said.

Maneesha Sareen congratulated the organizers and hoped that the initiatives taken by JKBOSE will be truly helpful in realizing the objectives embedded in the vision document of NEP 2020.
