The National Council of Educational Research and Training (NCERT) has withdrawn its newly released class 8 social science textbook following controversy over a chapter on judicial corruption. The Supreme Court imposed a blanket ban on its further publication and dissemination. NCERT expressed regret for the unintentional inclusion of inappropriate content.
The National Council of Educational Research and Training (NCERT) has printed and sold only 3 million out of 15 million targeted copies of new Class 9 textbooks, nearly a month after the 2026-27 academic session began on April 1. Officials have increased printing speed to meet the May 31 deadline. Union Education Minister Dharmendra Pradhan reviewed the process and directed enhancements in supply chains.
