NCERT reconstitutes textbook committee after Supreme Court rap - The Hindu
The National Council of Educational Research and Training (NCERT) has set up a fresh textbook development committee after facing strong remarks from the Supreme Court. The move comes amid concerns about how recent curriculum revisions were handled, including issues related to transparency and academic balance. The court questioned the process followed in updating educational content, prompting NCERT to review its approach. By forming a new panel, the organization aims to ensure that future textbooks are prepared through a more structured and inclusive process, involving subject experts and educators. This step is expected to improve the credibility and quality of school textbooks across India. NCERT’s decision reflects its effort to address legal and public concerns while maintaining academic standards. The development may also influence how future curriculum changes are introduced and reviewed within the national education system.
