Shocked at CBSE's move to drop topics like citizenship, federalism in new syllabus: Mamata

West Bengal chief minister Mamata Banerjee took umbrage on Wednesday over the CBSE's decision to drop topics such as "citizenship", "federalism" and "partition" in an effort to rationalise its curriculum amid the Covid-19 crisis. She appealed to the Human Resource Development (HRD) Ministry not to curtail important lessons at any cost.
