BENGALURU: Heeding pressure from various quarters, the Karnataka government on Monday ordered eight corrections in textbooks revised by the committee headed by Rohith Chakrathirtha but rejected the demand for their withdrawal.
The government has effected eight corrections, including addition of the phrase 'Architect of the Constitution' to BR Ambedkar in the chapter 'Our Constitution' in the Class 9 Social Science - Part 1 textbook. The corrections will be incorporated in soft copies of the textbooks on the Karnataka Textbook Society website. The society will print the corrigendum and give copies to all schools free of cost.
