- NCERT Exploring Society: India and Beyond Part I (Class 8, 2026–27 edition).
- Audited twice before printing: Codex + ChatGPT. Every flagged line was checked against the NCERT textbook and fixed or kept with the book's page; where the book itself misprints a value the kit says so. AI reviews are editorial aids, not official certification.
