Bhubaneswar: Odisha’s School and Mass Education Minister Nityananda Gond Thursday alleged that media reports on errors in the Odia textbook for Class I in English medium private schools, supplied by the state government, are exaggerated. Though the schools are run privately, the state government supplies the Odia language textbooks for the students. Referring to the ‘errors’ found in the National Anthem and the state song in the textbook, the minister said, “The media reports are not based on facts.” He said the claims regarding mistakes in the Class I textbooks were being misrepresented by a section of the media. Therefore, ‘Nimbooda Nimbooda’ was part of school textbooks in Odisha,” Gond said.
