In a controversial decision by the Central Board of Secondary Education (CBSE) on Tuesday, chapters like Democratic Rights, Food Security in India, Federalism, Citizenship, and Secularism were dropped to reduce the burden on students amid the coronavirus crisis.
The Central Board of Secondary Education (CBSE) announced on Tuesday that the syllabus for 2020-21 would be reduced by a third because of the "extraordinary situation" as the world fights the coronavirus pandemic.
The board has revised the Economics and Political Science courses for grades 9 to 12.
The chapters "completely deleted" from the Class 11 Political Science syllabus includes Federalism, Citizenship, Nationalism, and Secularism.
