NCERT Class 9 Hindi Book – Ganga (Chapter Wise PDF Download)

If you’ve been searching for Kshitij, Kritika, Sparsh, or Sanchayan for Class 9 Hindi and ended up confused, here’s why — NCERT has merged all four of these books into a single new textbook called Ganga, which takes effect from the 2026-27 academic session. Earlier, Hindi Course A (Kshitij, Kritika) and Course B (Sparsh, Sanchayan) were separate — now everything has been brought together into one integrated book.

Ganga is divided into two sections — Gadya Khand (Prose Section) and Kavya Khand (Poetry Section) — along with a special “Bhasha Sangam” section that connects Hindi with other Indian languages. On this page, you’ll find Ganga’s chapter-wise PDF download links, along with a short introduction to each chapter.

What’s Inside The Chapters

Chapter 1: Do Bailon Ki Katha
This Premchand classic follows the deep bond between two bullocks, Heera and Moti, and the loyalty, courage, and longing for freedom they show through their friendship. It’s a simple story on the surface, but carries a strong emotional and moral undertone.

Chapter 2: Kya Likhoon?
Written by Padumlal Punnalal Bakshi, this is a reflective essay on writing and self-expression, encouraging students to think about where genuine writing actually comes from — outer experiences or inner emotions.

Chapter 3: Samvadheen
By Shekhar Joshi, this chapter deals with the breakdown of communication and connection between people — exploring how silence, misunderstanding, or distance can quietly affect relationships.

Chapter 4: Aisi Bhi Baatein Hoti Hain
Written by Yatindra Mishra, this chapter is an interview with the legendary singer Lata Mangeshkar, touching on her life, her dedication to music, and the struggles of her early career. It’s meant to inspire students through the value of hard work and perseverance.

Chapter 5: Aakhiri Chattan Tak
By Mohan Rakesh, this chapter is a travel-based narrative, capturing the author’s observations and reflections during a journey — often used to discuss themes of nature, distance, and human experience.

Chapter 6: Reedh Ki Haddi
This one-act play by Jagdishchandra Mathur is a sharp satire on social pretence and false notions of honour, where a young woman uses her wit to challenge patriarchal thinking. The central theme is self-respect and the intelligence of women in a society that often underestimates them.

Chapter 7: Main Aur Mera Desh
Written by Kanhaiyalal Mishra ‘Prabhakar’, this chapter explores the idea of nationality and a sense of responsibility toward one’s country, with the author drawing on personal experiences to present a thoughtful, balanced view of patriotism.

 

Kavya Khand (Poetry Section) — 5 Chapters

 

Raidas Ke Pad
These devotional verses by Sant Raidas express deep faith, equality, and sincere devotion to God. They also carry a quiet resistance against caste-based discrimination, expressed through simple yet powerful language.

Ram-Lakshman-Parshuram Samvad
This excerpt from Tulsidas’s Ramcharitmanas captures the intense exchange between Parshuram and Lakshman, dramatically portraying the conflict between humility, anger, and valour.

Bharti, Jai Vijay Karo
A patriotic poem celebrating the glory of Mother India and wishing for her continued triumph, filled with pride and love for the nation.

Jhansi Ki Rani
One of the most well-known poems by Subhadra Kumari Chauhan, this piece vividly describes the courage of Rani Lakshmibai and her role in the 1857 rebellion. It’s widely regarded as a symbol of bravery and sacrifice.

Ghar Ki Yaad
This poem captures the emotions of someone away from home — the longing, the memories, and the sense of belonging that comes with distance. The companion piece “Tab Yaad Tumhari Aati Hai” carries the same emotional thread forward.

Why Use NCERT Books for Class 9 Hindi?

 

Whether it’s Ganga or the earlier Kshitij/Sparsh books, the reason to study directly from the NCERT textbook stays the same:

  • Board questions are framed directly from the textbook – CBSE designs almost every question around the exact emotions, language, and style used in these chapters.
  • Language and grammar are taught in context – Vocabulary tied to a chapter’s theme is far easier to retain than grammar studied in isolation.
  • It builds the foundation for Class 10 – The comprehension and interpretation skills practiced here directly carry into the Class 10 board exam pattern.
  • It’s free and reliable – Since Ganga is a brand-new book, there’s a lot of inconsistent information floating around online — the original NCERT source remains the most trustworthy.
