About NCERT
The National Council of Educational Research and Training (NCERT) was established in 1961 to provide academic support in improving the quality of school education in India.
Programme Details
This programme is meant to professionalise the school activities. NCERT as a part of its mandate develops national curriculum framework, model syllabi, textbooks and other curricular materials. Since 1960s, different strategies were followed to develop these materials. NCERT also works with SCERTs in curricular material development activities.
Most curricular material developers learn the art of development of curricular materials through on-the-job training. There is no programme in India to train and build the capacity of teachers and teacher educators in the development of social science textbooks and other curricular materials.

This will benefit government agencies involved in the development of curricular materials such as SCERTs and the private sector in improving the quality of materials available in India.
