The National Council of Educational Research and Training (NCERT) on Tuesday tendered “unconditional and unqualified apology” for the chapter of Grade 8 on judiciary that recently sparked controversy. NCERT said the entire book has been withdrawn” wrote NCERT on X
“The National Council of Educational Research and Training [NCERT] has recently published a social science textbook, “Exploring Society: India and Beyond,” Grade 8 (Part II), which contained Chapter IV titled “The Role of Judiciary in our Society.” The Director and Members of NCERT hereby tender an unconditional and unqualified apology for the said Chapter IV. The entire book has been withdrawn and is not available”, it further added.
Apart from political reactions, the chapter also sparked the Supreme Court’s fury. The Supreme Court last month imposed a “complete blanket ban” on any further publication, reprinting or digital dissemination of the NCERT Class 8 book as it contained “offending” contents on corruption in the judiciary. The top court had said “a gunshot has been fired, and the institution is bleeding”.
