A senior UGC official stated, “We are designating nodal universities in various states that would oversee the endeavor of assembling teams of writers capable of producing textbooks of superior quality in Indian languages.
“This effort is in tune with NEP 2020’s goal to provide learning opportunities to students in universities in Indian languages,” said the official. Writers who are interested in participating may submit their Expression of Interest and acceptance to the commission by January 30.
“The candidates must choose which course and which language they will write the book in in addition to the specifics. Individuals can also offer the tentative title of the planned book which is not essential,” the official stated.
