NCERT: A change may soon be seen in the books of the National Council of Educational Research and Training.
According to CI Issac, one of the panel members, this proposal was put forward a few months ago. The proposal suggests replacing the name “India” with “Bharat” in textbooks, including “classical history”.
If the proposal is accepted, ‘Bharat’ will be printed in place of ‘India’ in the new NCERT books. However, NCERT officials said no decision has been taken yet on the panel’s recommendations.

Indian knowledge system should be implemented
Committee Chairman C I Issac also informed that the NCERT panel has recommended inclusion of Indian Knowledge System in the curriculum of all subjects.
“India” vs “Bharat”:
Now a new batch of NCERT books will be released. In the new books, children will no longer read India, but India.The name of our country is defined in Article 1(1) of the Constitution as “India, that is, India shall be a Union of States”.
