School Text Books

National Council of Educational Research and Training (NCERT) panel has proposed to universally replace “India” with “Bharat” in all school textbooks. NCERT director  said, as of now it is just a recommendation and it is yet to get an approval. “We have not accepted anything at the moment. The panel sent their report." Notably, this development comes amid Centre receiving backlash from the Opposition for proposing Bharat instead of India.
