Government orders probe into NCERT's decision to blacklist textbook paper supplier firm

The Education Ministry has ordered a probe into NCERT's decision to blacklist a paper supplier. NCERT blacklisted Bafna Global Venture Private Limited for two years on June 22. The firm moved the Delhi High Court, which granted it impunity from coercive action. The court also restrained NCERT from invoking the firm's bank guarantee of over Rs 6 crore. The minister directed strict action against officials responsible for this administrative lapse.
