The National Council of Educational Research and Training (NCERT) on Thursday said that it was ascertaining the process of making textbooks which led to

\n\n

an error in judgement over the inclusion of a chapter on corruption in the judiciary in class 8 book. The issue was highlighted after the Supreme Court on Wednesday observed that there appeared to be a “well-orchestrated conspiracy” to defame the judiciary and imposed a complete ban on the said book, calling for the seizure of all its copies. Earlier today, Prime Minister Narendra Modi had also expressed his displeasure over the NCERT class 8 book, saying that the “accountability should be fixed.” Prior to that, Union Education Minister Dharmendra Pradhan had also expressed his deep anguish over the book coming up with a chapter on judicial corruption. Following the ire of Supreme Court, the council is also identifying the persons responsible for inclusion of the text. \"The NCERT is ascertaining the process of making textbooks which has led to this error of judgement and also identify the persons responsible for the same. This would also ensure that this kind of inappropriateness is completely avoided in future. This shall be done with utmost strictness,\" a source said.

Dharmendra Pradhan Promises To Fix Accountability

\n
\nEarlier in the day, Union Education Minister Dharmendra Pradhan expressed anguish over the National Council of Educational Research and Training (NCERT) coming up with a chapter on judicial corruption in its Class 8 textbook, while promising to fix accountability and take action against those involved in drafting the controversial portion.\n
\n
\nHis remarks came on a day the Supreme Court observed that there appeared to be a \"well-orchestrated conspiracy\" to defame the judiciary. It imposed a \"complete blanket ban\" on the Class 8 NCERT book and ordered that all copies, physical and digital, be seized.\n

What Class 8 Chapter Said on Judiciary

\n
\nThe NCERT's Social Science textbook for Class 8 states that corruption, a massive backlog of cases and the lack of an adequate number of judges are among the challenges faced by the judicial system.\n
\n
\nAfter stern words by the Supreme Court that it will not allow \"anyone on earth\" to tarnish the judiciary's integrity, the NCERT pulled the textbook from its website, with sources saying the government was livid with the controversial references in the curriculum.\n
\n
\nThe NCERT on Wednesday also apologised for \"inappropriate content\" after facing the Supreme Court's ire over the chapter and said the book will be rewritten in consultation with appropriate authorities.\n
