IMPHAL, Feb 5 : The Democratic Students' Alliance of Manipur (DESAM) has urged the State Government to investigate the supply of substandard paper for printing academic textbooks and answer sheets by constituting a high-level inquiry committee.
DESAM alleged that the student association had exposed a scam involving the supply of substandard paper for printing BOSEM textbooks and answer sheets for the 2026 academic session.
DESAM claimed that the authority had admitted the paper lacked the BOSEM watermark and was of poor quality.
Claiming that the authority had assured the paper had been collected and stored in an appropriate location, DESAM further alleged that its volunteers, however, have detected the printing of textbooks with substandard paper continuing at printing presses under BOSEM’s purview.
Accusing BOSEM, DE-SAM urged the State Govt to investigate the matter as soon as possible.
