What Is the New Class 9 Hindi Book Ganga?

Ganga (गंगा – कक्षा 9 के लिए हिंदी की पाठ्यपुस्तक) is the Class 9 Hindi book published by NCERT in March 2026 under the National Curriculum Framework for School Education 2023. It is a single, integrated Class 9 Hindi book, so students no longer choose between Hindi Course A (क्षितिज, कृतिका) and Course B (स्पर्श, संचयन).

What Changed in the Class 9 Hindi Book for 2026-27?

The biggest change is that four books became one. Until 2025-26, Course A students read क्षितिज and कृतिका, while Course B students read स्पर्श and संचयन. From 2026-27, every student uses the same Class 9 Hindi book, Ganga, whatever course they took earlier.

How to Study the Class 9 Hindi Book Ganga

  • Read the author introduction first. Each chapter of the Class 9 Hindi book starts with the writer's background, which helps with short-answer questions.
  • Know the form of each prose piece. The Class 9 Hindi book includes a story, an essay, an interview (लता मंगेशकर से साक्षात्कार), a travelogue and a one-act play (रीढ़ की हड्डी).
  • For poems, learn the भाव and the language. रैदास and तुलसीदास use Braj and Awadhi, so learn word meanings before the central idea.
  • Do not skip साथ-साथ पढ़ें. These readings in the Class 9 Hindi book extend the theme of the chapter before them.
  • Revise with short notes. Use eSaral's Class 9 revision notes and test yourself with the Class 9 and 10 test series.

💡 Expert Tip by eSaral Hindi Faculty Make a one-page sheet for every chapter of the Class 9 Hindi book with the author, form (कहानी, निबंध, साक्षात्कार, नाटक or कविता), central idea and two key lines. Twelve sheets cover the whole Class 9 Hindi book for quick revision.
