Textbook printing in Kerala is facing significant delays, with only Class 10 textbooks distributed so far. The shortage of paper supply has been cited as the main reason for the crisis.

With schools set to reopen in just about ten days, textbooks for other classes have not yet been printed. The paper shortage has severely impacted the printing schedule, leaving students and parents anxious about the start of the academic year.

The Kerala State-run textbook printing presses have been unable to procure adequate paper supplies to meet the deadline. While the government has assured that steps are being taken to expedite the process, no concrete timeline has been announced for when the remaining textbooks will be ready.

Students across the state are concerned as the new academic year approaches, with many still waiting for their textbooks to arrive.
