In a move aimed at saving valuable resources and environment, the SDMC on Wednesday decided to distribute used books among students of around 600 primary schools run by it.
Standing committee of South Delhi Municipal Corporation (SDMC) in its meeting decided that old books will be distributed among the students which will result in saving up about Rs1.25 crore every year, said a senior municipal corporation officer.
"Every year around 3 lakh students are enrolled in the schools run by SDMC and we have planned to distribute properly bound, old books among the students of classes III-V," said Ashish Sood, leader of SDMC House.
