Textbook Selection Procedures in India

Abstract

From Foreword: The present study is a factual survey of current Textbook Selection Procedures in the various States of the country. It brings together material which was not so far easily available in a compact form. It was undertaken by the Central Bureau of Textbook Research because it was felt that such documented data would be of great value to authors, publishers, educational administrators and others interested in this field. It includes information on such aspects as the nature and extent of State intervention in the selection and production of textbooks, constitution of selection agencies, their compositions and functions, the methods and procedures for the submission of manuscripts and, finally their selection and prescription as textbooks.
