This isn't new. NCERT books have been online for several years.

article outlines that previously NCERT has been available, now they are extending it to CBSE books.

CBSE books are NCERT books. In fact, last year CBSE forced schools to only use NCERT texts. So I don't know what they mean by that.

Also, the article mentions that NCERT books were available for month and a half. Which is false. NCERT books have been available for free for years, they just also made them available on a few e-book formats a month or so ago, in addition to already available PDF. Cheap headline grab.

All CBSE books that they can publish that are not NCERT is an almost empty set.

irony here is that parent user's id is the name of the publishing house which is one of the chief competitors to cbse, especially when it comes to high school books.

My understanding is that CBSE decides the syllabus ( that is, which topics students should learn and at which grades ). NCERT makes the books that contain the course material. CBSE does not make any course material, or am I wrong ? Or does the CBSE recommend non NCERT books for some courses ?
