Preamble of the Constitution dropped from select new NCERT textbooks
The National Council of Educational Research and Training has dropped the Preamble to the Constitution from several Class 3 and 6 textbooks issued this year. For Class 6, in the newly published versions of the textbooks following the implementation of National Education Policy 2020, the Preamble is printed in the Science book, Curiosity, and the Hindi book, Malhar. In the old textbooks for Class 6, the Preamble was printed in the the English book Honey Suckle, the Science book, Hindi textbook Durva, and all three Social Science books — Our Pasts-I, Social and Political Life-I, and The Earth Our Habitat. “The allegations regarding the removal of the Preamble from the NCERT textbooks do not have a sound basis,” Professor Ranjana Arora, Head of the Department of Curriculum Studies and Development at NCERT, said. “For the first time, NCERT is giving great importance to various facets of the Indian Constitution — Preamble, fundamental duties, fundamental rights, and the National Anthem.
