About the Book

We are delighted to present the NCERT Practice Workbook – Mridang for Class 1, thoughtfully developed to align with the newly introduced NCERT textbook Mridang, based on the National Curriculum Framework (NCF) 2023 and in accordance with the vision of the National Education Policy (NEP) 2020. This workbook is designed to offer a comprehensive, engaging, and age-appropriate learning experience for young learners.

The primary objective of early language learning is to empower students to express themselves clearly, confidently, and creatively.

Each chapter is carefully structured to reinforce classroom learning and to provide opportunities for practical application, encouraging holistic development and early literacy. The content also promotes critical thinking, reasoning, and creativity through thoughtfully designed, child-friendly activities.
