The NSUI has criticized the NCERT's reconstituted textbook development team. They allege members have direct or indirect links to the RSS-affiliated ecosystem. This inclusion raises questions about academic neutrality and ideological diversity in textbooks. The NSUI demands the team's dissolution and reconstitution with independent educationists. They also seek public disclosure of member qualifications and draft textbook reviews.
