The Government of India is all set to implement a major
overhaul of the NCERT Syllabus for the textbooks that are used
by the students starting from introduction of latest exercises
and assignments
In addition to this, the government will also design the new
NCERT Books in line with the NCF 2005 i.e. National
Curriculum Framework 2005. National Curriculum Framework
2005 is considered to be basic foundation on which NCERT
text books are designed for the students. The framework which
was introduced in 2005, will continue to be used to design and
develop new-age syllabus for NCERT Books.
Prior to this, NCERT Books were changed in 2017 and
implemented with the on-going academic session. The
suggestions and proposals that were incorporated as changes in
the NCERT Books in 2017 were submitted around 15 years
earlier by parents, teachers and educational groups. However,
as per government officials, the last revision of NCERT Books
was pushed through in 2017 as the introduction was New
Education Policy was delayed due to several circumstances. At
the same time, the old syllabus was considered to be redundant
and unhelpful for the students. Therefore, the 2017 revision was
introduced in NCERT Books.
However, the changes introduced in 2017 were more urgent in
nature, rather than comprehensive. Those changes were
introduced to ensure immediate effect on the syllabus and help
students out on an immediate basis. However, the changes that
will be proposed now, under the aegis of New Education Policy
will be more comprehensive and will have a deeper impact on
the learning processes followed in schools.

Earlier the Government had received overwhelming response

after it asked suggestions from stakeholders to rationalize
school education syllabus by reducing the burden of NCERT
syllabus.
