India, May 12 -- As summer vacation begins across the city, many students in Municipal Corporation of Delhi (MCD)-run schools have still not received all their textbooks for the current academic session.

Students were supposed to be provided textbooks in April and the last working day was May 8, with holidays starting from Monday. Teachers said the delay is impacting the students' education.

"We face this problem every year. We have not been able to teach the students properly or assign homework for the summer vacation," said Naveen Sangwar (42), general secretary of the Akhil Delhi Prathmik Shikshak Sangh, a union for MCD school teachers.

Sangwar teaches students of classes 4 and 5 at an MCD school in the Rohini zone.
