National Council of Educational Research and Training (NCERT)
Update- The National Council of Educational Research and Training is an apex resource organization set up by the Government of India, with headquarters along Sri Aurbindo Marg in New Delhi, to assist and advise the Central and State Governments on academic matters related to school education. It was established in 1961. Textbooks published by NCERT are prescribed by the Central Board of Secondary Education (CBSE) from classes I to XII, with exceptions for a few subjects. Around 19 school boards from 14 states have adopted or adapted the books. Online textbooks can be downloaded from the epathshala website. Those who wish to adopt the textbooks are required to send a request to NCERT, upon which soft copies of the books are received. The material is press-ready and may be printed by paying a 5% royalty, and by acknowledging NCERT. The council came up with a new National Curriculum Framework in 2005, drafted by a National Steering Committee. The design of the NCERT logo is taken from an Ashokan period relic of the 3rd century BCE which was found in excavations near Maske in Raichur district, Karnataka. NCERT has a comprehensive extension programme in which departments of the National Institute of Education, Regional Institute of Education, Central Institute of Vocational Education and field advisers' offices in the states are engaged in activities.National Council of Educational Research and Training results are available on Indiaresults.com as well.
