NCERT launches new WhatsApp channel for students and teachers: Here’s what it offers

NCERT launches new WhatsApp channel

The National Council of Educational Research and Training (NCERT) has started an official WhatsApp channel. This channel will give students, teachers, and parents direct updates about textbooks, changes in the curriculum, teacher training programs, and other important education news.NCERT said the channel is meant to deliver information quickly and clearly. It will help people avoid wrong information that sometimes spreads on social media. Since most people in India use mobile phones, the council says this is an easy way to reach millions of students and teachers. The WhatsApp channel is also part of NCERT’s larger digital plans, which include the DIKSHA platform with online learning materials.

Reliable updates for students and teachers

The channel will send updates about textbook changes, new learning materials, and updates in the school curriculum. Teachers will get information on training programs, workshops, and research reports to keep them up to date. NCERT said these updates are for everyone involved in school education, so students and teachers get correct and timely information.This channel will be of great use to teachers who are preparing their lessons using NCERT study material. They will be able to ensure that their students are learning the correct syllabus through this channel. Parents will also be able to stay updated about what their children are learning in school and what new programs are available to help them with education at home.

Part of wider digital engagement and authenticity drive

The launch comes when NCERT is also fighting against pirated textbooks. Recently, the council seized tens of thousands of illegal copies to protect genuine learning materials. The WhatsApp channel shows NCERT’s focus on giving reliable information both online and offline.

How to join the channel

Anyone can access the WhatsApp channel, including students, teachers, and parents. The link has been posted on the website and social media sites by NCERT. It is very easy to access, and once done, people will receive updates about textbooks, changes in the curriculum, teacher training, and other programs. This will help NCERT reach more people easily.With this step, NCERT is making education more open, easy to access, and reliable for millions of students, teachers, and parents across India.
