Panaji (Goa): After the media uproar on the error in National Anthem in the second standard Marathi text book, Education  department has decided to replace the page which had error.

It has been decided to reprint one page of the book which had errors and circulate it to all the schools.

The State Council for Educational Research and Training (SCERT) has ordered printing of 13,000 copies of a page which had the error, he said.

The official said that it was difficult to print the books again, and hence it was decided to replace the page. “The page on which National Anthem was printed was cut which left it (Anthem) half way,” an official said.

The mistake was brought to the notice by Congress party which had demanded that State government should fix the responsibility.

“The Class II Marathi books, published by the state education department, carry incomplete national anthem. The state government should fix the responsibility over the error,” Goa Congress spokesman Sunil Kawathankar had said.
