CBSE along with NCERT to reduce 50 percent syllabus?
Well, if the CBSE gives thumbs up to the suggestions extended by Sisodia along with the consent of the consent of the NCERT and other education bodies, then it will be a good news for all the students who will be appearing in the upcoming board examinations. He had made this suggestion while speaking at the 65th Central Advisory Board of Education (CABE) meeting held lately. The meet was headed by the Human Resource Development (HRD) Minister, Prakash Javadekar.
