Sindh Allows Publication of Three Religious Books for Hindu Students in Schools

The Sindh School Education and Literacy Department has approved the publication of three religious books for Hindu students studying in public schools across the province for the academic year 2026-27.

The decision was taken following a meeting of the Executive Committee of the Sindh Curriculum Council held on April 20, 2026. According to the notification, the Sindh Textbook Board (STBB) does not have a financial budget available for the publication of religious books for the current academic year.

The department has therefore granted permission to a social welfare organization, Prem Sagar Sanstha Karachi, to publish the religious books for Hindu students of grades three to five. The notification states that the books will be taught to Hindu students in grades III to V, while their distribution will be carried out through the Sindh Textbook Board.

The department has also requested the Sindh Textbook Board to allocate or adjust budget for the publication of these books in the next academic year.

The notification further states that once the books are published, the welfare organization will coordinate with the Sindh Textbook Board to ensure distribution across all districts of Sindh.
