The National Council for Educational Research and Training (NCERT) will triple-fold the publication of textbooks and print 15 crore books this year, Union Education Minister Dharmendra Pradhan announced. The announcement was made at an event for the signing of a Letter of Engagement between NCERT and Amazon.

This partnership, formalised through a Letter of Engagement (LoE), guarantees that NCERT books will be available at Maximum Retail Price (MRP) across all serviceable pin codes in India, while ensuring that students have access to genuine learning material and resources.

“Quality education and ease of living are essential for building a strong and developed nation. This collaboration between NCERT and Amazon India is a step towards ensuring that students and educators have access to genuine, affordable resources that will not only help them in their academic journey but also enhance their overall ease of living. By making NCERT textbooks available through Amazon.in, we are enabling millions of students across India to pursue their education without barriers and with greater convenience,” said Shri Dharmendra Pradhan, Union Minister of Education, Government of India.

In addition to serving individual customers, Amazon will work with the NCERT to simplify bulk ordering for government agencies and schools, making it easier for institutions to procure large volumes of textbooks. To support this, the NCERT has appointed designated distribution vendors who will work with sellers on Amazon to ensure timely and efficient deliveries.
