Thiruvananthapuram: The Kerala curriculum steering committee has decided to roll out a supplementary textbook incorporating all portions excluded by the National Council of Educational Research and Training (NCERT) from Higher Secondary classes. 

The move from the state government came days after NCERT excluded chapters on the Mughal Empire, Darwin's evolution theory and others from textbooks of classes XI and XII syllabuses.
