The use of QR Codes, being versatile in its simplicity and adaptability, aims to integrate technology into the curriculum effectively as envisaged in the National Education Policy (NEP) 2020. This will simultaneously develop digital literacy as well as conceptual clarity in our children and prepare them for a technology-driven future, where digital skills as well as competency in the subjects will help them realise their goals. Detailed instructions on how to use the QR codes are given in the textbooks.

All Heads of Institutions have been requested to disseminate the information regarding Smart Textbooks for secondary level Mathematics and Social Sciences, to students, teachers and parents, and encourage the use of these digital resources to enhance the teaching and learning process.
