The circular emphasises that it is not a healthy practice to compel the students to buy books other than those prescribed by NCERT, NCERT books form the basis of CBSE study course. The CBSE schools can buy the required NCERT books from the NCERT Sales centres. Thy can also download these books.
The school must inform the parents and the students about these facilities so that they can buy or download the required NCERT books.
