Jaipur: The Rajasthan education department has announced a comprehensive overhaul of primary education textbooks, aligning them with the National Education Policy (NEP) 2020 guidelines.
The new curriculum, set to be implemented from July 1, will cover classes 1-5 and introduces a wide range of topics from Indian history to contemporary achievements.
The reformed textbooks will feature stories of national heroes and revolutionaries, including Maharana Pratap, Chhatrapati Shivaji, Subhash Chandra Bose and Vallabhbhai Patel. Students will also learn about modern achievements like the Chandrayaan Mission and cultural events such as the Maha Kumbh.
"These changes reflect our commitment to providing education that is both child-friendly and relevant to current needs," said Shweta Fageria, director of RSCERT.
The curriculum introduces practical subjects like road safety and municipal body functions, while also highlighting environmental conservation through stories like the Khejarli Balidan, which documents the sacrifice of over 360 Bishnois who protected Khejri trees.

Education minister Madan Dilawar emphasised that the new approach moves beyond traditional bookish knowledge. "Students will receive practical and interesting information about Indian culture, history and geography, along with stories of our brave warriors," he said.
In accordance with NEP guidelines, primary education will be conducted in local languages and mother tongues, with specially prepared dictionaries for various dialects.
The education department has established a clear timeline, ensuring that all students up to class 5 will receive their new textbooks by July.
A state-level committee formed in Nov continues to review the entire school curriculum. The initiative represents a significant step toward modernising education while preserving cultural heritage and promoting practical learning in Rajasthan's primary schools.
The new system will introduce revolutionary leaders and democratic concepts from class 3 onwards, integrated across Hindi, English and EVS subjects. By class 5, students will study detailed biographies of historical figures like Veer Durgadas Rathore and Dayanand Saraswati, providing a comprehensive understanding of India's rich historical legacy.
