Orissa POST
|February 27, 2026
Following the ire of Supreme Court, the NCERT is ascertaining the process of making textbooks which led to the error in judgement about inclusion of a chapter on “judicial corruption”, sources said.
The Council is also identifying the persons responsible for inclusion of the text. “The NCERT is ascertaining the process of making textbooks which has led to this error of judgement and also identify the persons responsible for the same. This would also ensure that this kind of inappropriateness is completely avoided in future. This shall be done with utmost strictness,” a source said.
Earlier in the day, Union Education Minister Dharmendra Pradhan expressed anguish over the National Council of Educational Research and Training (NCERT) coming up with a chapter on judicial corruption in its Class 8 textbook, while promising to fix accountability and take action against those involved in drafting the controversial portion.
