At a function organised at a Kendriya Vidyalaya in east Delhi, she said that initiatives would be undertaken to ensure holistic promotion and improve learning outcomes at these schools. Earlier, addressing the function, Delhi Deputy Chief Minister Manish Sisodia stressed on the role of education in the lives of children. We made NCERT books available online for free through e-books and mobile



applications a month-and-a-half ago. We are similarly going to make CBSE books available online along with additional learning material and videos as part of our good governance efforts,” Ms. Irani said. Irani also reiterated that the Centre will launch 'Shaala Darpan' and 'Saransh' services (for Class I to Class XII students) in Kendriya Vidyalayas in the next academic year. The AAP leader urged schools to take the responsibility of turning children into good human beings. These conventions will feature interactions between children and professionals from fields including defence to help the former grow into "good human beings". So, we will have to ensure we impress on him/her that it is equally important to be a good human being as to be a good engineer or other professional," he said.
