NCERT announces the availability schedule for two new Class 9 textbooks for the 2026–27 academic session. The Mathematics book, “Ganita Manjari – Part 2,” becomes available first, while the Social Science text, “Understanding Society: India & Beyond – Part 2,” is scheduled to be sold later.
Times of India reports that the Mathematics book is available from September 21. It also states that the Social Science book goes on sale from September 30 through authorised channels. NDTV similarly reports that the Social Science textbook is available for sale from September 30 onwards. India Today notes that Mathematics is out now and Social Science will be available from September 30.
Across the outlets, the key points are consistent: two Grade 9 books are introduced for the new session, and their sale dates differ, with Mathematics earlier and Social Science starting on September 30. Differences are mainly in how the timing is phrased and which outlet specifies the authorised-channel distribution detail.
