Schools in Kerala are being recommended to teach the syllabus removed from NCERT. CM Pinarayi Vijayan has already supported it. He wants to include the Mughal history removed from the books and the Gujarat riots back in the syllabus.

There was also talk of preparing supplementary text book in the meeting.
The state’s syllabus steering committee held a meeting on Tuesday and suggested the state government to include the parts left out by the NCERT. The committee has chosen Education Minister V Sivankutty to discuss the matter with the government and take a final decision. There was also talk of preparing supplementary text books in this meeting. The final decision will be taken by the state government and Chief Minister Pinarayi Vijayan.

Earlier, minister V Sivankutty had said that the state would include the deleted portions in the Kerala school syllabus. The NCERT had dropped Mughal History, Gujarat Riots and Darwin’s Theory from the school textbooks.

Kerala opposed the removal of syllabus
The state government has already been opposing the reduction of NCERT syllabus and Chief Minister Vijayan had said that the decision to remove certain chapters and events from the textbooks for political purposes is not only distortion of history but also objectionable.
The CM had said, “You cannot deny historical facts, it is not right to remove them from the books.”
