Similarly, each state has its own SCERT, which serves as the apex body for academic matters in that state.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The NCPCR&#8217;s letter gains significance as it comes in the wake of the recent release of new NCERT textbooks with rationalized content. These textbooks have removed portions related to Mughals, Mahatma Gandhi, Nathuram Godse (Gandhi&#8217;s assassin), references to Hindu extremists, and the 2002 Gujarat riots as part of the rationalization exercise. These changes have sparked strong reactions from political parties and academicians alike. Therefore, the NCPCR&#8217;s directive to follow the prescribed curriculum and textbooks gains importance in ensuring that schools adhere to the approved academic content in line with the RTE Act.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The National Commission for the Protection of Child Rights (NCPCR), an autonomous body under the union government that focuses on
