JK board at receiving end owing to glaring mistakes in Class 10 textbook

Jammu and Kashmir Board of School Education has been at the receiving end for an apparent copy-paste job in one of the versions of text book for class 10 as a video of the issue became viral on social media. The text of the book ‘Disaster Management and Road Safety Education’ has been blindly replaced with ‘UT’ wherever ‘state’ existed even in passages with scientific and health related concepts.

For example, at page number 29 and 30 of unit IV, ‘Unconsciousness and fainting is a state of human body…’ in the earlier versions of the book has become ‘Unconsciousness and fainting is a UT of human body…’ in the version with mistakes.

There is also a major blooper in the title of the passage which read ‘Fainting and losing conscience’ which otherwise should have been ‘Fainting and losing consciousness’.
