Assam Children Dry Damaged Books on Road After Flood; Govt Promises Free Replacement

After the recent floods that swept through parts of Assam, several children were seen on the roadside drying books that had been soaked in the deluge. The makeshift drying area, set up by local volunteers, drew attention to the damage caused by the water. The state government has responded by announcing a free replacement scheme for the affected students. Officials said that damaged textbooks and notebooks would be collected and new copies supplied at no cost to families. The initiative aims to minimize educational disruption as schools prepare to resume classes.
