Abstract

The National Council of Educational Research and Training (NCERT) is an apex resource organization set up by the government of India to assist and advise the central and state governments on academic matters related to school education. The model textbooks published by the council for adoption by school systems across India have generated controversies over the years. The NCERT has operated as a semi official organization promoting a “STATE SPONSORED” educational philosophy.” Textbooks' are the major educational tools for the student. In India, text books occupy most of the educational space in schools. They are not just teaching manuals, they shape the minds of children in their formative years and have a profound influence on how young minds interpret neatly. For this reason the content of textbooks or instructional material is a deeply contentious issue in several countries around the world.
