Education Ministry asks NCERT to review, update textbooks on yearly basis

The Ministry of Education (MoE) has asked the NCERT to conduct a review of its textbooks and update them on yearly basis, according to sources. 

So far, there has been no mandate on the frequency of updating NCERT textbooks. 

However, the National Council of Educational Research and Training has been occasionally revising and updating content since 2017.

A rationalisation exercise was also conducted in view of the closure of schools due to the pandemic but there were allegations from a section of agenda-driven editing.
