“Bharat” and “India” will be used interchangeably in NCERT textbooks as is the case in the country’s Constitution, National Council of Educational Research and Training Director Dinesh Prasad Saklani has said.


The comments assume significance in the wake of a high-level panel working on the social science curriculum recommending that “India” should be replaced with “Bharat” in school textbooks for all classes.


In an interaction with PTI editors at the agency’s headquarters here, the NCERT chief said both the words will be used in the books and the council has no aversion to either “Bharat” or “India”.
