Nope, fake news.
India cuts the periodic table and evolution from schoolbooks – DW – 06/02/2023
Crucial science topics will no longer be taught to a large swath of Indian students, according to new government guidance.www.dw.comIndia cuts periodic table and evolution from school textbooks — experts are baffled
Nature has learnt that the periodic table, as well as evolution, won’t be taught to under-16s as they start the new school year.www.nature.com
Periodic Table has NOT been removed from school education curriculum but is, in fact, available in great detail in Unit 3 -"Classification of Elements and periodicity in properties" (Page 74-99) of Class 11th textbook.

There is a full chapter on Evolution [Chapter 6 – "Evolution", Pages 110-126 of Class 12th NCERT Textbook] which explains the concept of Evolution and Charles Darwin’s Theory of Evolution in great detail.

A section of media reported about dropping of Evolution & Periodic Table from @ncert books. These claims are misleading & factually incorrect.

Rationalisation of Textbooks was a need-based exercise to reduce content load in view of mental health of students during the pandemic.
