NEW DELHI: The National Capital Region (NCR) is currently grappling with a concerning trend as the demand for NCERT (National Council of Educational Research and Training) books far exceeds the available supply. This shortage has led to a surge in the circulation of counterfeit NCERT textbooks across markets in Gurgaon, Faridabad, and Palwal, raising alarm bells among educators and parents alike.
With the onset of the new academic session, schools and students in the NCR region have been eagerly awaiting the availability of NCERT textbooks. However, the empaneled publishers authorized by NCERT have struggled to meet the soaring demand, leaving many classrooms devoid of essential learning materials. This scarcity in the supply chain has created an opportunity for unscrupulous entities to exploit the situation by flooding the market with fake NCERT books.

In a series of operations, the squad seized thousands of unauthorized copies, with raids conducted in Faridabad, Palwal, and Gurgaon’s bustling Sadar Bazar. The magnitude of the seizures underscores the severity of the issue and highlights the widespread proliferation of counterfeit educational materials.
