A total of 154 printing presses have got work orders from NCTB for printing the books. The ones still in operation have increased bulk paper’s price. In a rare scenario, printing presses are now in a race to manage papers from the mills. Large paper mills like Meghna Pulp & Paper Mills Ltd, Creative Paper Mills Ltd, and Bashundhara Paper Mills supplied the papers. For the rest of the books, NCTB arranged separate tenders for printers and printing presses took part in the bidding.
