Summary: To promote the production of literature for children in Hindi, the Ministry of Education collaborated with Indian publishers to translate foreign classics and biology books. The Ministry subsidized the cost of these books and purchased copies for distribution to schools and libraries. Additionally, social education literature was purchased for distribution, and a prize scheme was announced for manuscripts on selected topics. Various schemes, such as producing graded books for neo-literates and establishing book trusts, were approved and funded by the government. Efforts were made to enhance audio-visual education through film shows, exhibitions, and mobile cinema units. Teachers' training programs, vocational and technical education, and the establishment of professional institutions were emphasized, alongside initiatives to support displaced students. Various States implemented programs to improve social education, setting up new training squads, libraries, and community centers, while integrating social education with the education department at different levels. Collaboration with foreign institutions and organizations for professional and technical studies was also facilitated through scholarships and fellowships.
