Jammu and Kashmir Board of School Education (JKBOSE) is organizing a two-day workshop to start translation of textbooks of Environmental Studies from Class 03 to Class 05 and of Mathematics from Class 01 to Class 05. The translation will be done into four languages: Urdu, Kashmiri, Hindi and Dogri.



The workshop was inaugurated by Prof Veena Pandita, Chairman of JKBOSE, in the presence of the Secretary of JKBOSE Maneesha Sareen.



Prof Pandita also congratulated the JKNOSE's Academic Section for taking the initiative to translates the books of primary classes into four official languages. She added, "Nothing is more facilitating in knowledge acquisition than the expression of ideas in the language one is born and brought up. The children grasp the essence of non-trivial concepts in their own local language quickly and providing texts in their mother tongue shall be a potent medium to use the power of language in enhancing the competence of learners".



Maneesha Sareen also congratulated the organizers and also wished that this initiative will be helpful in comprehending the purpose as inserted in the vision document of National Education Policy 2020. She also remarked, "Neither the knowledge should be lost nor the language is compromised in the process of translation. A translator must devise a viable strategy in which the technical essence is best possibly transacted in the local expression".



Around 33 experts from Kashmir and 24 experts from Jammu participated in the workshop and these experts were from the Tanslation industry, SCERT, and School Education Department. For Hindi and Dogri languages, the workshop is held at JKBOSE Jammu Divisional Office and the workshop for Kashmiri and Urdu languages is being ocnducted at JKBOSE Srinagar Regional Office.
