Create Textbook Structure

Overview

On DIKSHA, a textbook is a collection of content units compiled or curated from school textbooks or any book that conforms to the syllabi of the State, Central Board, or any recognized institution or publication. A textbook must be in the said medium of instruction and language. To create a book, the user must have textbook creation rights assigned. The creator can create the textbook structure on DIKSHA in two ways:

  • Using textbook editor and adding relevant units and sub-units one by one
  • Upload entire units and subunits using a CSV file with the relevant structure

In either way of creating the textbook structure, add the relevant details for each unit and the textbook as a whole to the respective sections.
