He gave these directives on Thursday while inspecting Barnamala Press and Global Printing Equipment in Matuail in the capital. At the time, he observed on site the book printing process, the machinery used, paper quality and printing quality.

The State Minister said that taking responsibility for printing textbooks means completing the work while maintaining the stipulated standards. Book quality cannot be compromised on the excuse of printing press capacity or technical limitations. If there are any limitations, they must be taken into consideration before participating in the tender. It is the responsibility of the relevant institution to ensure the quality of books for which the government has awarded the work.

During the inspection, Bobi Hajjaj noticed inconsistencies in colour composition and alignment in several books. He warned those concerned so that such defects do not spread to a large number of books. At the same time, he stressed further strengthening quality control and monitoring of printing work.

Bobi Hajjaj said that merely finishing the printing work is not enough; it must be ensured whether every book has been printed according to the stipulated standards. It is the government's responsibility to deliver quality textbooks into the hands of students. In this regard, negligence or substandard work is in no way acceptable.

The State Minister directed the relevant institutions to supply all books within the stipulated time and also asked them to prepare to use modern printing presses with adequate capacity in the future. Representatives of the National Curriculum and Textbook Board (NCTB) and the Ministry of Primary and Mass Education, as well as officials of the relevant printing institutions, were present during the inspection.
