Why This Book Matters for CBSE Board Exams
Class 10 Hindi is a compulsory subject for CBSE board exams, and the question paper draws directly from Kshitij, Kritika, Sparsh, and Sanchayan, testing both literary comprehension and writing skills such as letter writing, essay writing, and grammar. A strong grip on this book also builds the reading and writing foundation the Class 11 and 12 Hindi courses (Aroh, Vitan, and Antra) continue to build on.

More Frequently Asked Questions
How many chapters does the Class 10 Hindi NCERT book have?
Across all four books, Kshitij, Kritika, Sparsh, and Sanchayan, there are 36 sections in total, including front matter.
What is the difference between Kshitij, Kritika, Sparsh, and Sanchayan?
Kshitij and Sparsh are the main poetry-and-prose textbooks (Kshitij for Course A/main stream and Sparsh as an alternative track), while Kritika and Sanchayan are their respective supplementary readers used alongside the main textbook.
Should I read the NCERT textbook or rely on guidebooks for Hindi?
The NCERT textbook should always come first, since board exam questions are set directly from these poems and prose pieces; guidebooks can help with practice questions but should not replace reading the original text.
Will this Hindi course continue into Class 11 and 12?
Yes, the reading and writing skills built through Kshitij, Kritika, Sparsh, and Sanchayan carry forward into the Class 11 and 12 Hindi courses, which use related textbooks like Aroh, Vitan, and Antra.
Is this Hindi Course A or Course B?
Kshitij (क्षितिज) and Kritika (कृतिका) together make up NCERT Hindi Course A (Course B uses Sparsh and Sanchayan instead) — check with your school which course you have been assigned before downloading.
