Vadodara: What happens to the textbooks once your child clears the standard he or she is enrolled in? Most of them either get dumped or are sold to the local ‘pastiwala’ even as somebody in your neighbourhood would be spending a handsome amount to purchase new ones for his or her child.
The Vadodara Parents Association (VPA) on Sunday acted as a bridge between such parents by organising a book exchange fair where parents can deposit textbooks and get new ones in exchange as per requirements of their wards.
The fair was organized a day before a majority of Central Board of Secondary Education (CBSE) schools re-opened on Monday.
The seventh CBSE book exchange fair 2024 was organized at Vakal Seva Kendra which witnessed a large gathering of students and their parents.
VPA office-bearers said around 800 parents turned out at the book exchange fair resulting in savings to the tune of a couple of lakhs.
“Apart from reducing the financial burden of parents, the book fair is also an environment friendly initiative,” said VPA office-bearer. TNN
