The National Council of Educational Research and Training (NCERT) has developed syllabus and textbooks across the subjects to promote gender sensitization in the school curriculum. The textbooks at all stages of school education prioritize gender sensitization in the designing of activities/exercises. 

• "Gender sensitization education" means education based on the teaching that propagates gender equality by improving curriculum and textbooks to include gender-positive material and any other learning activities that promote gender equality.
• It implies a respectful approach towards defining gender roles. It will also imply the idea that an equal balance of man and woman is required in all aspects of life and will remove the stereotype that certain activities are only meant to be done by men and not by women and vice versa.
• Smriti Zubin Irani, Minister of Women and Child Development, in response to MP, Parvesh Sahib Singh, stated in Lok Sabha that the government is taking initiative in implementing various programs/schemes and legislations to address multiple forms of gender discrimination.

​Thus, it is concluded that 'Gender sensitization' in the school curriculum implies a respectful approach towards defining gender roles.
