Textbook revision was one of the major poll promises made by the Congress. Chief Minister Siddaramaiah assured that a full-fledged revision of textbooks will take place in the next academic year
Days after the Karnataka Cabinet approved revision of school textbooks, the state government has ordered 18 changes in Kananda and Social Science subjects for classes 6 to 10.
According to the list of revisions released by Karnataka Textbook Society, the Congress government has dropped a lesson on RSS founder KB Hedgewar, ‘Who Should Be an Ideal Man’, and replaced it with a lesson titled ‘Story of Sukumara Swamy’ authored by Shivakotacharya in class 10 (Kannada language).
