About the Book

The series SOCIAL SCIENCE SUCCESS is a set of three books for Classes 6 to 8. It is aligned with National Education Policy, 2020 and is in accordance with National Curriculum Framework (NCF). Each book in the series is supported with Online Support, Teacher’s Resource Book and E-book for teachers. Each book in the series is divided into three sections — History, Geography & Social and Political Life. Our attempt, in this series, is to capture the interest and arouse genuine curiosity in the learners through presentation of facts and concepts in a simple and lucid style, infused with numerous original illustrations and photographs.  Utmost care has been taken to encapsulate in the series the key parameters laid down in National Education Policy (NEP) 2020. The NEP places the learner at the heart of the teaching-learning process. In recent years, there has been a paradigm shift towards designing a learner-centric curriculum that is based on an activity-based approach. There is also an equal emphasis on equipping young learners with essential twenty-first-century skills. The text as well as the exercises in the book promote the holistic development of the learners. Besides, there is a lot of emphasis on enhancing the creativity, critical thinking, and communication and collaboration skills of learners.
