New Delhi: There is no hike likely in the price of books, the National Council of Educational Research and Training (NCERT) said on Tuesday.

“All NCERT books are available at its portal for downloading free of cost," he added.
The clarification by the NCERT comes amid reports that the council is planning to increase price of its books which raised concerns among various quarters.
