NCERT books are now also sold on Amazon through authorized sellers

NCERT textbooks for students from kindergarten to class 12 and for UPSC aspirants will now also be sold by authorized sellers on the Amazon India website, the e-commerce company said on Monday.

Amazon India said it is working with the National Council of Educational Research and Training (NCERT) to facilitate the sale of books at the maximum retail price (MRP) across all usable PINs in India.

Amazon India said it is working “with the National Council of Educational Research and Training (NCERT) to expand the availability of textbooks for students from kindergarten to class 12, as well as UPSC aspirants, through Amazon.in”.

Besides serving individual customers, Amazon.in will collaborate with NCERT on bulk orders for government agencies and schools.

“To support this, NCERT has appointed designated distribution suppliers who will work with sellers on Amazon.in to ensure timely and efficient deliveries,” the statement said.

Union Education Minister Dharmendra Pradhan said that the collaboration between NCERT and Amazon India is a step towards ensuring that students and teachers have access to real, affordable resources that will not only help them in their academic journey but also will increase their general ease of living.

“Through the textbooks available through Amazon.in, we are enabling millions of students across India to pursue their education without barriers and with greater ease,” said Pradhan.
