These are called Regional Institutes of Education. They are located in: Ajmer (Rajasthan), Bhubaneswar (Odisha), Mysuru, Bhopal (Madhya Pradesh), Shillong (Meghalaya)<\/p>\n<p>These centres focus on regional needs. They conduct teacher training. They also offer degree courses like B.Ed and M.Ed. RIEs also help state governments. They adapt materials to suit local languages and cultures.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"NCERT_Educational_Policies_and_Frameworks\"><\/span>NCERT Educational Policies and Frameworks<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>The Indian education system underwent several changes with NCERT\u2019s help. The first big step came in 1968. It followed the recommendations of the Education Commission (1964\u201366). It supported the 10+2 school education model.<\/p>\n<p>In 1975, NCERT introduced \u201cThe Curriculum for the Ten-Year School.\u201d This focused on research-based content. It tried to connect the curriculum with Indian realities.<\/p>\n<p>In 1988, a revised curriculum was launched. It followed the National Policy on Education of 1986. The new approach promoted child-centered learning. It also emphasized continuous and comprehensive evaluation (CCE).<\/p>\n<p>The National Curriculum Framework of 2000 aimed to make learning free from stress. It supported a thematic and multicultural approach. Environmental education and integrated teaching were encouraged. The 2005 framework added new directions. It was based on five key ideas:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Connect knowledge to life outside school<\/li>\n<li>Move away from rote learning<\/li>\n<li>Expand curriculum beyond textbooks<\/li>\n<li>Make exams flexible<\/li>\n<li>Build caring and responsible citizens<\/li>\n<li>These ideas helped shape modern Indian education.<\/li>\n<li>Textbooks and Learning Materials<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"NCERT_Textbooks\"><\/span>NCERT Textbooks<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>NCERT publishes textbooks for school students in India. These books are prescribed by the Central Board of Secondary Education (CBSE) for classes I to XII. However, there are some exceptions for Class 10 and 12 board exam subjects.<\/p>\n<p>Around 19 school boards from 14 states also use NCERT books. Schools or boards that want to adopt them must send a request to NCERT. Once approved, they receive soft copies. These materials are ready for printing. A 5% royalty must be paid, and NCERT must be credited.<\/p>\n<p>NCERT textbooks are printed in color. They are among the cheapest books available in Indian bookstores. In comparison, books by private publishers are often much more expensive.<\/p>\n<p>In 2017, the government decided that only NCERT would publish textbooks for central schools starting in 2018. CBSE\u2019s role was limited to conducting exams. In 2021, NCERT began designing textbooks in Indian Sign Language. These digital books were made for hearing-impaired students from classes 1 to 5.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"National_Talent_Search_Scheme_NTSS\"><\/span>National Talent Search Scheme (NTSS)<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>NCERT started the NTSS in 1963. It aimed to find and support talented students. In 1976, the scheme got a new name \u2014 National Talent Search Examination (NTSE). It was modified after the 10+2+3 pattern was introduced.<\/p>\n<p>Currently, the NTSE is for Class 10 students. It has two phases. One is the Mental Ability Test. The other is the Scholastic Aptitude Test. Each section carries 100 marks. Students selected in NTSE get scholarships to support their studies.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"NCERT_Digital_and_Remote_Learning\"><\/span>NCERT Digital and Remote Learning<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>To boost e-learning, NCERT launched ePathshala in collaboration with the Ministry of Education. ePathshala offers digital textbooks, audio, video, and other resources. Students and teachers can access it on phones, tablets, and computers.<\/p>\n<p>NCERT also introduced online guidance and counseling courses in 2021. The course runs for a year. It trains teachers and counselors to support students better. In another step, NCERT partnered with Microsoft\u2019s global partner, Tech Avant-Garde. They launched the Connected Learning Community (CLC). It helped improve digital skills among teachers.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><strong>Do Check &#8211; <a href=\"https:\/\/infinitylearn.com\/surge\/full-form\/mbps-full-form\/\">MBPS Full Form<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"NCERT_Regional_Institutes_of_Education_RIEs\"><\/span>NCERT Regional Institutes of Education (RIEs)<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>To improve teacher training, NCERT set up five RIEs.

The council is now preparing new curriculum frameworks in line with NEP goals. Former ISRO chief K. Kasturirangan is leading this project.
