RATIONALE

The purpose of the education system is to develop good human beings capable of rational thought and action, possessing
compassion and empathy, courage and resilience, scientific temper, and creative imagination, with sound ethical moorings and
values. It aims at producing engaged, productive, and contributing citizens for building an equitable, inclusive, and plural society
as envisaged by our Constitution. [NEP 2020, pages 4-5]

Social Science is a compulsory subject up to secondary stage of school education. It is an integral component of general education.
Social Science can play a unique role within the school curriculum to enable the Knowledge, Capacities, and Values and Dispositions that
underpin this purpose of education as committed to in NEP.

Social Science plays an important role in developing an integrated understanding of the human world and its functioning, including its
deep interrelationships with nature and the environment in the quest to continuously improve as a society. In the study of this subject,
students learn methods of observing and interpreting the human world, which helps them lead their own lives and also contribute as
members of a society.

Social Science also helps in developing some of the Values and Dispositions that are essential for democratic participation — building
and sustaining cooperation among communities that strive for peace, harmony, equity, and justice for all. It encourages them to understand
and appreciate the feeling of Indianness ‘Bhartiyata’ by valuing the rich cultural heritage and tradition of the country.

Social Science plays an important role in developing in an individual student a comprehensive sense of the human world and its
functioning. In an increasingly globalizing and interdependent world, this understanding is critical to help students see how things around
them are changing, what are the causes of these changes, and how the change impacts human societies.

It also helps them realize the need for interdependence, collaboration, and an appreciation for the diversity of human culture and societies.
The subject also teaches students the method of observing and interpreting the world wearing the hat of a social scientist. It does so by
building core skills such as observing what is going on around them, analysing causes of various phenomena (historical, geographical,
socio-political, or economic) using evidence, asking questions, making connections, forming viewpoints based on conceptual
understanding and evidence, recognizing patterns and generalizations, and arriving at logical conclusions.
These skills prepare the students in contributing to the nation as a responsible citizen of society.

AIMS & OBJECTIVE
The aims of Social Science in school education can be summarised as follows: as per NCF-2023

a. Develop the disciplinary knowledge and understanding of how society functions through an interplay of historical,
geographical, social, economic, and political factors.
This can be enabled through:
i. an understanding of continuity and change in human civilisation, its causation and effect, and its impact on modern life,
ii. an understanding of the interaction between nature and human beings, the spatial patterns arising out of this interaction, and its effect
on human life,
iii. awareness and understanding of the diversity of people and their practices in different societies, regions, and cultures within societies,
iv.an awareness of various social, political, and economic institutions, their origin, functioning and transformations over time.

b. Develop an understanding and appreciation for the methods of enquiry relevant to Social Science and deepen students’ skills
to engage with the key questions and issues confronting society.

These could be specifically seen as:


i. Skills in sourcing evidence, interpreting them, confirming through multiple sources and evidence, and constructing a coherent narrative,
ii. Skills in recognizing spatial patterns, map-reading, interpretation and analysis of various interconnected concepts and processes,
iii. Skills of creative and analytical thinking to form informed opinions, demonstrate logical decision-making, and incline towards a problem-
solving attitude,
iv. Skills to collect, organize, analyse, represent, and present data and information on various historical, geographical, and socio-political
issues,
v. Skills to question unsubstantiated ideas, biases, stereotypes, and assumptions to foster scientific temper and propose meaningful
responses to contemporary concerns of society.

c. Foster ethical, human, and Constitutional values:


As the DNEP 2019 emphasises, to foster a “democratic outlook and commitment to liberty and freedom; equality, justice, and fairness;
embracing diversity, plurality, and inclusion; humaneness and fraternal spirit; social responsibility and the spirit of service; ethics of integrity
and honesty; scientific temper and commitment to rational and public dialogue; peace; social action through Constitutional means; unity
and integrity of the nation, and a true rootedness and pride in India with a forward-looking spirit to continuously improve as a nation.

Handout 1 for Day 4 of Inter Disciplinary Project of Class X

Handout Title: The Role of Waterways and Airways in Post-World War II- World and India
Introduction: After the end of World War II, the world faced significant economic, social, and political changes. The role of waterways and
airways in shaping the post-war world and India is crucial to understand. In this handout, we will discuss the impact of waterways and
airways on the global economy and how it helped India in its development.
Waterways: In the post-World War II era, waterways played a crucial role in the movement of goods and people. The improvement of
ports and waterways allowed for more efficient transportation of goods and helped to spur economic growth.
The increased demand for goods and services, combined with the development of shipping technologies, allowed for the expansion of
international trade. This helped to boost the world economy and allowed for the growth of industries in many countries, including India.
In India, the development of waterways and ports helped to improve the country's economy. The country's long coastline and several
rivers made it an ideal location for the transportation of goods. The growth of ports and waterways in India allowed for the movement of
goods from one part of the country to another, helping to spur economic growth and development.
Airways: After World War II, the development of air transportation revolutionized the world's economy. The expansion of air travel allowed
for faster and more efficient transportation of goods and people, which helped to boost the world economy.
In India, the growth of airways helped to connect different parts of the country and made it easier for people and goods to move from one
place to another. This helped to spur economic growth and development in India.
The growth of air transportation in India also allowed for the expansion of international trade. Indian businesses could now easily access
foreign markets, which helped to boost the country's economy.
Conclusion:
The role of waterways and airways in the post-World War II world and India was crucial in shaping the economic and social landscape of
these countries. The development of these transportation modes helped to spur economic growth and allowed for the expansion of
international trade. Understanding the impact of waterways and airways on the world and India is crucial in understanding the economic
and social changes that took place after World War II.
Questions:
1. Mention the role of major ports in imports and exports.
2. Emergence of Deccan airways changed the entire functionalities of domestic airways> Substantiate the statement
3. The waterways and airways contribute to the economic growth of India. Substantiate your answer.

Handout 2 for day 7 of Inter Disciplinary Project of Class X
Handout Title: The Role of the World Trade Organization (WTO) in Building New Nations Post-Colonialization
Introduction: After the end of colonialism, many countries faced significant economic and political challenges as they worked to establish
themselves as independent nations. The World Trade Organization (WTO) played a crucial role in helping these countries to rebuild their
economies and participate in the global economy. In this handout, we will discuss the role of the WTO in building new nations post-
colonialization.
What is the WTO?
The WTO is an international organization that was established in 1995 to promote international trade and help countries participate in the
global economy.
The WTO provides a forum for countries to negotiate and enforce international trade agreements, and helps to ensure that trade is
conducted in a fair and predictable manner. The organization also provides technical assistance and advice to help countries improve
their trade policies and participate in the global economy.
How has the WTO helped new nations post-colonialization?
After colonial rule ended, many countries faced significant economic challenges as they worked to establish themselves as independent
nations. The WTO helped these countries to participate in the global economy by providing a forum for trade negotiations and by helping
to enforce international trade agreements.
The WTO also provided technical assistance and advice to help these countries improve their trade policies and participate in the global
economy. This helped to spur economic growth and development in these countries, and allowed them to become more integrated into
the global economy.
By participating in the global economy, new nations post-colonialization were able to expand their markets, attract foreign investment, and
improve their economic performance. The WTO played a crucial role in helping these countries to build their economies and establish
themselves as stable, independent nations.
Conclusion:
The WTO played a crucial role in building new nations post-colonialization by helping these countries to participate in the global economy.
The organization's trade negotiations, enforcement of international trade agreements, and technical assistance helped to spur economic
growth and development in these countries. Understanding the role of the WTO in building new nations post-colonialization is important
in understanding the economic and political changes that took place after the end of colonial rule.
