Certain chapters on caste conflict will be removed from the NCERT history textbooks for class 9 as part of curriculum rationalisation exercise initiated by HRD Minister Prakash Javadekar to reduce burden on students.
A case has been registered against the accused for infringement of Copyright Act and causing financial loss and damage to the NCERT's reputation, police said.
The education council also said CCE should not be seen as the responsibility of teachers alone.
The teachers will also be required to make daily observational notes of the child's behaviour and progress.
The amendments have been made for the first time since 2007, however, NCERT maintained that it is a minor change.
The news will bring cheers to school students parents and teachers burdened by the heavy curriculum.
Prakash Javadekar said the school syllabus was more than that of BA and B.Com courses, and it needed to be reduced by half so that students get time for other activities for their all-round development.
The textbooks have been pre-booked by schools and students from across the country within a month after the council launched an online portal for the purpose, an official said.
The decision was taken following several posts on social media highlighting the issue in the textbook titled 'Contemporary World Politics', which was published in 2007, and has not been revised since then, but only reprinted.
