NCERT Clears Revised Class 8 Textbook After Judiciary Chapter Row And Public Apology

The NCERT Class 8 Social Science textbook controversy, triggered by a chapter on the judiciary, is set to conclude with a revised edition cleared for release. The original book was withdrawn following criticism over references to corruption and an official apology issued ahead of a Supreme Court hearing. An expert panel has now reviewed and updated the content, aiming for a more balanced and age-appropriate approach. The episode has reignited debate over how democratic institutions should be represented in school education.
