Dharmendra Pradhan

The Supreme Court on Thursday imposed a "complete blanket ban" on any further publication, reprinting or digital dissemination of NCERT's Std VIII social science book as it contains "offending" contents on corruption in the judiciary.

SC observed that there appeared to be a "deep-rooted conspiracy" and "calculated move" to undermine the institution. Union Education Minister Dharmendra Pradhan on Thursday expressed anguish over NCERT and promised to fix accountability and take action.
