The Class 6 NCERT English textbook revised with information that is "Made in India." West out, Bharat in.

One of the first English language textbooks for Class 6 created by NCERT in accordance with the National Curriculum Framework (NCF) 2023 is called "Poorvi."

Its content has been updated, with the majority of its chapters having an Indian context and making references to Indian customs, culture, and historical knowledge.

With the exception of five poems by non-Indian authors, the majority of the content in the new textbook—which consists of nine prose pieces—is set in Indian locations with Indian characters.

The previous book had stories written by non-Indian authors that featured non-Indian characters, such as "Patrick" and "Ms. Beam."

The previous volume, on the other hand, contained eight poems, seven of which were written by non-Indian authors, and eight prose pieces, five of which were written outside of India.

This is ostensibly in line with the new National Education Policy 2020, which calls for a curriculum to be “rooted in the Indian and local context and ethos.”

So pieces by Western authors have made way for one by Sudha Murthy about Rama Natha, the son of a rich landlord obsessed with the idea of a magic potion, and one by S.I. Farooqui about a child named Amber talking to a neem tree.

There’s also a chapter on ‘Health and Wellness’ with a three-page section on yoga and its benefits.
