JNU professor linked to RSS-backed body, DU faculty — experts who suggested controversial NCERT deletions KRITIKA SHARMA 14 April, 2023 https://theprint.in/india/education/jnu-professor-linked-to-rss-backed-body-du-faculty-experts-who-suggested-controversial-ncert-deletions/1516629/
While NCERT says exercise based entirely on recommendations of ‘expert panel’, some of the experts claim they did offer suggestions, but the final call on accepting them was the council’s.
At the heart of the row is the fact that while the changes made as part of the rationalisation exercise were declared publicly through online booklets, some of these controversial deletions weren’t mentioned in them. This has led to allegations about a bid to delete these portions surreptitiously.
The NCERT has described the omissions as a possible oversight, but refused to undo the deletions, saying they were based on the recommendations of experts. It has also said the textbooks are anyway headed for a revision in 2024 when the National Curriculum Framework kicks in.
