The education policy determines the future of a nation. Only educated citizens can contribute properly to the building of a greater and stronger nation. The National Curriculum Framework, 2005 has recommended that the children’s life at school must linked to their life outside the school. It is a praiseworthy recommendation. Following the recommendation of the NCF, the NCERT has been preparing School textbooks. But the matter of regret is that the textbooks prepared by the NCERT, in spite of their auspicious attempt, have faced adverse criticism from various grounds.

.

First, the textbooks prepared by the NCERT are too practical which in most cases, especially where the educational infrastructure is weak and poor, seems unapplicable. It is because the number of teachers in a school is meagre if compared to the number of students.

.

Secondly, the teaching of present Textbooks needs audio-visual and other educational tools but most schools are poor in owning them.

.

Thirdly, the textbooks prepared by the  NCERT have failed to keep up the grades and steps of learning. For example, the elementary  English Textbooks prepared by the NCERT are a hard nut to crack for most students. In practical life it is found that a student who has owned the certificate of passing Class V can hardly write his addrees correctly.

.

The number of schools run by the Government is not sufficient for the increasing number of students and to meet the needs of students many private schools have been set up. To say of Assam, there are more private schools than schools under the State Educational Boards.

.

The private schools, especially in Assam have been facing hardship in getting textbooks because the private schools are not provided with textbooks prepared by the Government. In such a case they have either to import books from outside (which is not an easy task) or they have to prepare books for themselves. But it is found that the books prepared by themselves are lack in uniform. They seem to be prepared whimsically without paying mind either to the standard or to cope with the grade.

.

So to meet with the long-felt need of unified and grade-wise textbooks in all subjects, especially for the private schools of the state, an adventurous mission has been undertaken by Growhills Publishing, a publisher dedicated to the service of students, to prepare textbooks from grass level onwards.

.

Every attempt has been made to make the publications suitable and fruitful to whom they are meant. All textbooks are prepared with much care paying heed to the age, psychology, environment, and socio-economic condition of the average student.

.

Hoped that the educationists, critics, teachers, guardians and students would encourage us by putting forward their valuable and critical suggestions in getting our mission a grand success.
