Shri Upendra Kushwaha, Minister of State, Ministry of
Human Resource Development, Government of India has launched a NCERT’s Web
portal for supply of textbooks to schools and individuals in New Delhi today.
The portal will ensure better distribution of textbooks across the country and
will also address the apprehensions, on the part of schools and parents,
regarding unavailability of NCERT textbooks. The schools will be able to
log on to the portal, by entering their respective Boards’ affiliation numbers
and other details, till 8th September 2017 for placing their orders
for the session 2018-19. The Web Portal can be accessed at www.ncertbooks.ncert.gov.in.
At the time of placing the orders, the schools are not
required to make the payment; the payment can be made just before the supply.
The schools will also have the option of directly procuring textbooks either
from their nearest NCERT vendors or from the Regional
Production-cum-Distribution Centres (RPDCs) of the NCERT’s located at
Ahmedabad, Kolkata, Guwahati, and Bengaluru.
Very soon the portal will also be opened to the
individual buyers. They can place their orders by login in onto the portal, and
books will be delivered at their doorsteps with nominal postal charges. The
portal will also enable the buyers to track the status of their respective
orders placed with NCERT. The textbooks will also continue to be sold at the
Retail Sales Counters located at the NCERT’s headquarters in Delhi; at its
Regional Institutes of Education (RIEs) Ajmer, Bhopal Bhubaneswar, Shillong,
and Mysuru; and at its Regional Production-cum-Distribution Centres (RPDCs)
based in Ahmedabad, Kolkata, Guwahati and Bengaluru.
The NCERT textbooks can also be downloaded, free of
cost, from the NCERT’s website www.ncert.nic.in;
one can access the digital versions of NCERT’s textbook by logging onto
‘epathshala’ or through mobile applications. NCERT also gives copyrights to
different States/Union Territories for printing of its textbooks. Fifteen
States and UTs have been given copyright for the session 2017-18.
