Amazon India has recently announced its partnership with the National Council of Educational Research and Training (NCERT) to expand the availability of textbooks for students from Kindergarten to Class 12 and UPSC aspirants through Amazon.in. This partnership, formalized through a Letter of Engagement (LoE), guarantees that NCERT books will be available at Maximum Retail Price (MRP) across all serviceable pin codes in India while ensuring students can access genuine learning material and resources.
Through this collaboration, Amazon and NCERT are focused on supporting students’ educational needs by ensuring the availability and doorstep delivery of current and accurate textbooks to all serviceable pin codes of India. This convenient service will relieve the stress of finding and purchasing textbooks, allowing students to focus on their studies. In addition to serving individual customers, the company will work with NCERT to simplify bulk ordering for government agencies and schools, making it easier for institutions to procure large volumes of textbooks. To support this, NCERT has appointed designated distribution vendors who will work with sellers on Amazon.in to ensure timely and efficient deliveries.
Speaking on the collaboration, Shri Dharmendra Pradhan, Union Minister of Education, Government of India, said:
Quality education and ease of living are essential for building a strong and developed nation. This collaboration between NCERT and Amazon India is a step towards ensuring that students and educators have access to genuine, affordable resources. By making NCERT textbooks available through Amazon.in at fair prices, we are reassuring millions of students across India that quality education is within their reach, without financial barriers.
To further support this initiative, a dedicated NCERT Bookstore has been set up on Amazon.in, offering the full range of textbooks in one easily accessible location at no additional cost to consumers. The alliance between Amazon India and NCERT aims to build a more transparent and trustworthy educational ecosystem. This collaborative effort ensures that quality education resources are within reach for millions of learners nationwide.
Saurabh Srivastava, Vice President, Categories, Amazon India, added:

By ensuring that genuine NCERT textbooks are available at fair prices, Amazon is playing its part in building a more transparent and reliable educational ecosystem.
