He also stressed for incorporating the basics of English Phonetics at the Hr Secondery level in the curriculum in order to improve the pronunciation and communication skills of students, which help them in later stages of life. He also stressed on the JKBOSE the need for organization of workshops on Evaluation to minimise the element of subjectivity while awarding marks to the candidates.
