About the Publisher:-

The National Council of Educational Research and Training (NCERT), being at the helm of school education in India, has taken the initiative of developing the curriculum and syllabi in different art-related areas for higher classes, especially, since the National Curriculum Framework (NCF)–2005 came into practice. There has been a noticeable shift in the development of textbooks, their presentation, interdisciplinary approach, typology of exercises, etc. The National Education Policy (NEP)–2020, too, recommends that students will be given increased flexibility and a wide choice of subjects to study, particularly, at the secondary school stage, including subjects of art and craft, so that they can design their own paths of study and life plans. Therefore, at the senior secondary stage, which is also the school-leaving stage, they should have more options to explore in different fields of higher or professional education
