New textbook titles rooted in Indian culture, knowledge systems: NCERT
The New Indian Express Anantapur
|April 18, 2025
FACING criticism for renaming new textbooks in Hindi, the National Council of Educational Research and Training (NCERT) on Thursday said the books have been "thoughtfully named to convey rootedness in India's culture and knowledge systems."
The response came after Kerala General Education Minister V Sivankutty on Monday criticised NCERT's decision to use Hindi titles for English-medium textbooks, describing it as a 'profound irrationality and a cultural imposition' that undermines India's linguistic diversity.
"The new NCERT textbooks have been thoughtfully named to convey rootedness in India's culture and knowledge systems. The names of the books are from Indian languages and not specifically Hindi," said an official NCERT statement shared with this paper.
