The public is being warned against the unauthorized printing and commercial sale of NCERT school textbooks by the National Council of Educational Research and Training (NCERT), which has issued a strong warning against copyright infringement of its educational materials.
In a formal statement, the NCERT claimed that certain dishonest publishers were publishing NCERT school textbooks that were accessible on its website under their own names without the NCERT’s consent.
NCERT states that anyone found using NCERT textbook content in publications without obtaining explicit copyright permission or publishing NCERT textbooks, in whole or in part, for commercial sale will be subject to legal action under the Copyright Act of 1957.
“The general public is requested to kindly stay away from such textbooks or workbooks as their content may be factually incorrect as well as against the basic philosophy of NCF 2023,” the NCERT stated. NCERT urged individuals who come across such pirated textbooks or workbooks to immediately report them to the council via email at pd.ncert@nic.in.
Furthermore, NCERT provided guidance for publishers interested in incorporating NCERT’s name in their publications, directing them to send a proposal to the Publication Division NCERT, located at Aurobindo Marg, New Delhi-16, or via email at secy.ncert@nic.in.
