 ENGLISH
(Code No. 202)
BRIEF

Traditionally, language-learning materials beyond the initial stages have been sourced from literature: prose,
fiction and poetry. While there is a trend for inclusion of a wider range of contemporary and authentic texts,
accessible and culturally appropriate pieces of literature should playa pivotal role at the secondary stage of
education. The English class should not be seen as a place merely to read poems and stories in, but an area
of activities develop the learner's imagination as a major aim of language study, and to equip the learner with
communicative skills to perform various language functions through speech and writing.

OBJECTIVES

The general objectives at this stage are:

To build greater confidence and proficiency in oral and written communication to develop the ability and
knowledge required in order to engage in independent reflection and inquiry to use appropriate English to
communicate in various social settings equip learners with essential language skills to question and to ar-
ticulate their point of view. to build competence in the different registers of English to develop sensitivity to,
and appreciation of, other varieties of English, Indian Englishes, and the culture they reflect to enable the
learner to access knowledge and information through reference skills (consulting a dictionary / thesaurus,
library, internet etc.), to develop curiosity and creativity through extensive reading to facilitate self-learning
to enable them to become independent learners to review, organise and edit their own work and work done
by the peers At the end of this stage learners will be able to do the following:

Give a brief oral description of events / incidents of topical interest retell the contents of authentic audio texts
(weather reports, public announcements, simple advertisements, short interviews, etc.) participate in con-
versations, discussions, etc, on topics of mutual interest in non-classroom situations narrate the story de-
picted pictorially or in any other non-verbal mode respond in writing to business letters, official communi-
cations read and identify the main points / significant details of texts like scripts of audio-video interviews,
discussions, debates etc. .

Write without prior preparation on a given topic and be able to defend or explain the position taken/ views
expressed write a summary of short lectures on familiar topics by making/taking notes write an assessment
of different points of view expressed in a discussion / debate read poems effectively (with proper rhythm
and intonation) to transcode information from a graph / chart to a description/ report.

- 4 -
 LANGUAGE ITEMS
In addition to consolidating the grammatical items practised earlier, the courses at secondary level will seek
to reinforce the following explicitly:
sequence of tenses
reported speech in extended texts
modal auxiliaries (those not covered at upper primary) non-finites (infinitives, gerunds, participles)
conditional clauses
complex and compound sentences
phrasal verbs and prepositional phrases
cohesive devices
punctuation (semicolon, colon, dash, hyphen, parenthesis or use of brackets and exclamation mark)

METHODS AND TECHNIQUES

The methodology will be based on a multi-skill, activity based, learner centred approach, (are would be
taken to fulfil the functional (communicative), literary (aesthetic) and cultural (sociological) needs of the learner.
In this situation the teacher is the facilitator of learning, s(he) presents language items} contrives situations
which motivates the child to use English for the purposes of communication and expression. Aural-oral teaching
and testing is an integral feature of the teaching-learning process. The electronic and print media could be
used extensively. The evaluation procedure should be continuous and comprehensive. A few suggested activities
are:
Role playing
Simulating real-to-life situations
Dramatising and miming
Problem solving and decision making
Interpreting information given in tabular form and schedule
Using newspaper clippings
Borrowing situations from the world around the learners, from books and from other disciplines Using
language games, riddles, puzzles and jokes
Interpreting pictures / sketches / cartoons
Debating and discussing
Narrating and discussing stories, anecdotes, etc. Reciting poems Working in pairs and groups
Using media inputs- computer, television, videocassettes, tapes, software packages.

 MATHEMATICS
(Cade No. 221)
CLASS X
Examination Specification
The Syllabus in the subject of Mathematics has undergone changes from time to time in accordance with
growth of the subject and emerging needs of the society. The present revised syllabus has been designed
in accordance with National Curriculum Framework 2005 and as per guidelines given in Focus Group on
Teaching of Mathematics which is to meet the emerging needs of all categories of students. Motivating the
topics from real life problems and other subject areas, greater emphasis has been laid on applications of
various concepts.
The curriculum at Secondary stage primarily aims at enhancing the capacity of students to employ
Mathematics in solving day-to-day life problems and studying the subject as a separate discipline. It is
expected that students should acquire the ability to solve problems using algebraic methods and apply the
knowledge of simple trigonometry to solve problems of heights and distances. Carrying out experiments with
numbers and forms of geometry, framing hypothesis and verifying these with further observations form
inherent part of Mathematics learningat this stage.
The proposed curriculum includes the study of number system, algebra, geometry, trigonometry, mensuration,
statistics, graphs and coordinate geometry etc. The teaching of Mathematics should be imparted through
activities which may involve the use of concrete materials, models, patterns, charts, pictures posters, games,
puzzles and experiments.

OBJECTIVES
The broad objectives of teaching of Mathematics at secondary stage are to help the learners to: consolidate
the Mathematical knowledge and skills acquired at the upper primary stage; acquire knowledge and
understanding, particularly by way of motivation and visualization, of basic concepts, terms, principles and
symbols and underlying processes and skills. develop mastery of basic algebraic skills; develop drawing
skills; feel the flow of reasons while proving a result or solving a problem. apply the knowledge and skills
acquired to solve problems and wherever possible, by more than one method to develop positive ability
to think, analyze and articulatelogically; to develop awareness of the need for national integration, protection
of environment, observance of small family norms, removal of social barriers, elimination of sex biases; to
develop necessary skills to work with modern technological devices such as calculators, computers etc;
to develop interest in Mathematics as a problem-solving tool in various fields for its beautiful structures and
patterns, etc;
to develop reverence and respect towards great Mathematicians for their contributions to the field of
Mathematics.
to develope interest in the subject by participating in related competitions.
to acquaint students with different aspects of mathematics used in daily life. to develop an interest in students
to study mathematics as a discipline.

BRIEF
The subject of Science plays an important role in developing in children well defined abilities in cognitive,
affective and psychomotor domains. It augments the spirit of enquiry, creativity, objectivity and asthetic
sensibility. Whereas the upper primary stage demands that plentiful opportunities should be provided to the
students to engage them with the processes of science like observing, recording observations, drawing,
tabulation, plotting graphs etc. the secondary stage expects abstraction and quantitative reasoning to occupy
a more central place in the teaching and learning of Science. Thus, the idea of atoms and molecules being
the building blocks of matter makes its appearance, as does Newton’s law of Gravitation.
The present syllabus has been designed around six broad themes viz. Food, Materials, the world of the
living, how things work, moving things, people and ideas, natural phenomenon and natural reasources.
Special care has been taken to avoid temptation of adding too many concepts than can be comfortably
learnt in the given time frame. No attempt has been made to be comprehensive.
At this stage, while science is still a common subject, the disciplines of Physics, Chemistry and Biology begin
to emerge. The students should be exposed to experiences as well as modes of reasoning that are typical
of the subject.

 SOCIAL SCIENCE
(Code No. 224)
BRIEF
Social Sciences is a compulsory subject upto secondary stage of school education. It is an integral
component of general education because it helps the learners in understanding the environment in its totality
and developing a broader perspective and an empirical, reasonable and humane outlook. This is of crucial
importance because it helps them grow into well-informed and responsible citizens with necessary attributes
and skills for being able to participate and contribute effectively in the process of development and nation-
building.
The social sciences curriculum draws its content mainly from geography, history, civics and economics.
Some elements of sociology and commerce are also included. Together they provide a comprehensive view
of society-over space and time, and in relation to each other. Each subject’s distinct methods of enquiry
help the learners study society from different angles and form a holistic view.
OBJECTIVES
The main objectives of this syllabus are:
to develop an understanding of the processes of change and development-both in terms of time and space,
through which human societies have evolved.
To make learners realise that the process of change is continuous and any event or phenomenon or issue
cannot be viewed in isolation but in a wider context of time and space.
to develop an understanding of contemporary India with its historical perspective, of the basic framework
of the goals and policies of national development in independent India, and of the process of change with
appropriate connections to world development.
To deepen knowledge about and under standing of lndia’s freedoms truggle and of the values and ideals
that it represented, and to developanap preciation of the contributions made by people of all sections and
regions of the country.
To help learners understand and cherish the values enshrined in the Indian Constitution and to prepare them
for their roles and responsibilities as effective citizens of a democratic society.
to deepen the knowledge and understanding of India’s environment in its totality, their interactive processes
and effects on the future quality of people’s lives
to facilitate the learners to understand and appreciate the diversity in the land and people of the country

need for its preservation.
To promote an understanding of the issues and challenges of contemporary India environmental, economic
and social, as part of the development process.
to help pupils acquire knowledge, skills and understanding to face the challenges of contemporary society
as individuals and groups and learn the art of living a confident and stress-free life as well as participating
effectively in the community
To develop scientific temper by promoting the spirit of enquiry and following a rational and objective
approach in analysing and evaluating data and information as well as views and interpretations
To develop academic and social skills such as critical thinking, communicating effectively both in visual and
verbal forms- cooperating with others, taking initiatives and providing leadership in solving others’, problems

The course is intended to give students a high level of competence in English with an emphasis on
the study of literary texts and will provide extensive exposure to a variety of rich texts of world literature
as well as to Indian writings in English, including classics, and develop sensitivity to the creative and imagi-
native uses of English and give them a taste for reading with delight and discernment. The course will be
pitched at a level which the students may find challenging. The course is primarily designed to equip the students
to pursue higher studies in English literature and English language at the college level and prepare students
to become teachers of English.

Objectives

The general objectives at this stage are:

sitivity to literary and creative uses of language.

to further expand the learners' vocabulary resources through the use of dictionary, thesaurus and encyclopaedia.

to develop a taste for reading with discernment and delight.

to initiate the study of formal English grammar and elementary linguistics and phonetics.

to enable learners to translate texts from mother tongue into English and vice versa.

to critically examine a text and comment on different aspects of it.

At the end of this stage the Elective Course would ensure that the learner grasps the global meaning
of the text, its gist and understands how its theme and sub-theme relate. relates the details to the message
in it; for example, how the details support a generalization or the conclusion either by classification or by
contrast and comparison. comprehends details, locates and identifies facts, arguments, logical relationships,
generalization, conclusions, etc. draws inferences, supplies missing details, predicts outcomes, grasps the sig-
nificance of particular details and interprets what he/she reads. assesses the attitude and bias of the author.
infers the meanings of words and phrases from the context; differentiates between apparent

Methods and Techniques
The techniques used for teaching should promote habits of self-learning and reduce dependence on
the teacher. The multi-skill, learner-centred, activity based approach already recommended for the previous
stages of education, is still in place, though it will be used in such a way that silent reading of prescribed/
selected texts for comprehension will receive greater focus as one of the activities. Learners will be trained
to read independently and intelligently, interacting actively with texts and other reference materials (dictionary,
thesaurus, encyclopaedia, etc.) where necessary. Some pre- reading activity will generally be required, and
course books should suggest those. The reading of texts should be followed by post reading activities. It
is important to remember that every text can generate different readings.

Students should be encouraged to interpret texts in different ways, present their views of critics on
a literary text and express their own reactions to them. Some projects may be assigned to students from
time to time. For instance, students may be asked to put together a few literary pieces on a given theme
from English as well as regional literatures.

CLASS XII

BRIEF

Senior Secondary stage of school education is a stage of transition from general

education to discipline-based focus on curriculum. The present updated syllabus keeps
in view the rigour and depth of disciplinary approach as well as the comprehension level
of learners. Due care has also been taken that the syllabus is not heavy and is at the
same time, comparable to the international standards. Salient features of the syllabus
include:

Emphasis on basic conceptual understanding of the content.

Emphasis on use of SI units, symbols, nomenclature of physical quantities and

formulations as per international standards.

Providing logical sequencing of units of the subject matter and proper placement of
concepts with their linkage for better learning.

Reducing the curriculum load by eliminating overlapping of concepts/ content within

the discipline and other disciplines.

Promotion of process-skills, problem-solving abilities and applications of Physics

concepts. Besides, the syllabus also attempts to strengthen the concepts developed at
the secondary stage to provide firm foundation for further learning in the subject.
Expose the learners to different processes used in Physics-related industrial and
technological applications.

Develop process-skills and experimental, observational, manipulative, decision making

CLASS XII

BRIEF
Higher Secondary is the most crucial stage of school education because at this juncture specialized
discipline based, content-oriented courses are introduced. Students reach this stage after 10 years of general
education and opt for Chemistry with a purpose of pursuing their career in basic sciences or professional
courses like medicine, engineering, technology and study courses in applied areas of science and technology
at tertiary level. Therefore, there is a need to provide learners with sufficient conceptual background of
Chemistry, which will make them competent to meet the challenges of academic and professional courses
after the higher secondary stage.

The new and updated curriculum is based on disciplinary approach with rigour and depth taking
care that the syllabus is not heavy and at the same time it is comparable to the international level. The
knowledge related to the subject of Chemistry has undergone tremendous changes during the past one
decade. Many new areas like synthetic materials, bio-molecules, natural resources, industrial chemistry are
coming in a big way and deserve to be an integral part of chemistry syllabus at senior secondary stage At
international level, new formulations and nomenclature of elements and compounds, symbols and units of
physical quantities floated by scientific bodies like IUPAC and CGPM are of immense importance and need
to be incorporated in the updated syllabus. The revised syllabus takes care of all these aspects. Greater
emphasis has been laid on use of new nomenclature, symbols and formulations, teaching of fundamental
concepts, applications of concepts in chemistry to industry/ technology, logical sequencing of units, removal
of obsolete content and repetition etc.

OBJECTIVES
The broad objectives of teaching Chemistry at Senior Secondary Stage are to help the learners: to
promote understanding of basic facts and concepts in chemistry while retaining the excitement of chemistry.
To make students capable of studying chemistry in academic and professional courses (such as
medicine, engineering, technology) at tertiary level.

relevance in their future studies and their application in various spheres of chemical sciences and technology.

To equip students to face various changes related to health, nutrition, environment, population,
weather, industries and agriculture. to develop problem solving skills in students.

To expose the students to different processes used in industries and their technological applications.

- 97 -
 To apprise students with interface of chemistry with other disciplines of science such as physics,
biology, geology, engineering etc. to acquaint students with different aspects of chemistry used in daily life.

To develop an interest in students to study chemistry as a discipline.

CLASS XII

BRIEF
The present syllabus reinforces the ideas introduced in the lower classes while the students learn new concepts
besides getting an exposure to contemporary areas of the subject. The syllabus also aims at emphasizing
the underlying principles that are common to both animals and plants as well as highlighting the relationships
of biology with other areas of knowledge. The format of the syllabus allows a simple, clear, consequential
flow of concepts without any jarring jumps. The syllabus also stresses the connection of the study of Biology
to real life problems, use of biological discoveries/ innovations in everyday life - in environment, nature,
medicine, health and agriculture. The updated syllabus also focuses on reducing the curriculum load while
ensuring that ample opportunities and scope for learning and appreciating basic concepts of the subject continues
to be available within its framework.

The prescribed syllabus is expected to promote understanding of basic principles of biology learning of emerging
knowledge and its relevance to individual and society encourage rational/specific attitude to issues related
to population, environment and development enhance awareness about environmental issues and problems
and the appropriate solutions create awareness amongst the learners about variations amongst the living and
developing respect for the diversities and to appreciate that the most complex biological phenomenon are
also built on essentially simple processes.

It is expected that the students would get an exposure to various branches of Biology in the syllabus in a
more contextual and friendly manner as they study its various units.

 ACCOUNTANCY
(Cade No. 325)

CLASS XII

BRIEF
The course in Accountancy is introduced at + 2 stage of Senior Secondary education, as formal
commerce education is provided after first ten years of schooling. With the fast changing economic scenario
and business environment in a state of continuous flux, elementary business education along with
accountancy as the language of business and as a source of financial information has carved out a place
for itself at the Senior Secondary stage. Its syllabus content should give students a firm foundation in basic
accounting principles and methodology and also acquaint them with the changes taking place in the
presentation and analysis of accounting information, keeping in view the development of accounting
standards and use of computers.

Against this background, the course puts emphasis on developing basic understanding about the
nature and purpose of the accounting information and its use in the conduct of business operations. This
would help to develop among students logical reasoning, careful analysis and considered judgement.

Accounting as an information system aids in providing financial information. The emphasis at Class
XI is placed on basic concepts and process of accounting leading to the preparation of accounts for a sole
proprietorship firm. Computerised accounting is becoming more and more popular with increasing
awareness about use of computers in business. Keeping this in view, the students are exposed compulsorily
to the basic knowledge about computers and its use in accounting in the same year.

In class XII, Accounting for Not for Profit Organisations, Partnership Firms and companies are to
be taught as a compulsory part. Students will also be given an opportunity to understand further about
Computerized Accounting System, as an optional course to Analysis of Financial Statements.

OBJECTIVES
To familiarise the students with accounting as an information system;

To acquaint the students with basic concepts of accounting and accounting standards;

To develop the skills of using accounting equation in processing business transactions;

To develop an understanding about recording of business transactions and preparation of financial

statements;

To enable the students with accounting for reconstitution of partnership firms;

To enable the students to understand and analyse the financial statements; and

To familiarize students with the fundamentals of computerized system of accounting.

Students may be provided adequate guidance to choose a project based on their interests and
(availabillty of information and authentic inputs in the locality. The specimen proforma of project report given
in the textbook may be used for preparing the report. However, mechanical preparation of the report by
filling in the information in the proforma should be discouraged.
Further, as the students will be required to appear for a Viva-voce on the basis of their projects.
sufficient care should be taken by the students to prepare the report after studying the various aspects involved
thoroughly. In a nutshell. the project report should lead to viable enterprise.
b) Market Survey Report
Market research is the process and technique of finding out who your potential customers are and
what they want. The survey may be on products and services already available in the market or students
may also conduct surveys for new products and services. The report of the survey should be organised under
the following broad headings:
1. Objectives.
2. Methods and tools (interviews, questionnaires etc.) to be used to collect information.
3. Records of data and information.
4. Analysis of data and information.
5. Interpretation and conclusion. ‘
For example. a survey may be conducted to find out the choice of households in toiletry soap. tooth
paste etc. The data may be analysed to establish a pattern that may be useful to an entrepreneur.

related to the report.
3. Case Study 5 marks
A case study is a focused research on an organization, enterprise, practice, behavior or person
undertaken to highlight an aspect that the study attempts to examine. For instance, a case study may be
conducted on the pollution control methods· being employed by any industry. Or a successful industrialist
may be chosen as a subject of a case study to ;analyze and understand the strategies that the industrialist
adopted: to achieve success. Ideally, a case study should be conducted on subjects with the objectives of
bringing to the fore beliefs, practices, strategies, values etc. that have made, them what they are. Such studies
help us to understand the way in which great minds think and operate. We may also conduct case studies
on failures; why a company collapsed, how a service lost its market etc. From both the types of case study,
we learn lessons; how to do something or how not to do something. They also provide valuable insight into
the· processes involved in an enterprise. A few topics are suggested for carrying out case studies:
i) Drawing a profile of a successful entrepreneur.
ii) Studying a public sector undertaking and highlighting its success/failure, by analyzing the factors
responsible.
iii) Studying a small scale unit in the locality to bring out the procedures and processes adopted by the
unit to become a feasible business venture.
iv) A study of competition in business by choosing two or more rivals in the market and analyzing their
strengths and weaknesses.
v) Take the· school itself for a case study and analyze any two aspects of the school plant for chalking
out a, plan of action infrastructure, academics, co-curricular activities etc.
vi) A case study on a thriving fast food shop/restaurant in your locality. What makes it so popular?
vii) A case study on the ways in Which a business unit has mobilized its financial resources.
viii) A case study on the enterprise management techniques adopted by a business house.
ix) A case study on the marketing strategies of a successful consumer durable company.
x) A case study- on the financial management of a Public Limited Company.

- 124 -
xi) A case study on any Specialized Institution that supports and guides the establishment of a small
scale unit.
xii) Studying the balance sheets of two big private companies to assess their trade and credit worthiness.
xiii) Studying the inventory management of a large manufacturing industry to ascertain the processes involved
for optimizing cost.
xiv) Carrying out a case study on an established industrial house/company to find out the value system
of the company and how it fulfils its social commitment/obligations.
xv) Carrying out a case study on an established industry to ascertain the processes followed to reduce/
prevent pollution.
xvi) Study on environment friendly companies and their contribution to preservation.

 BUSINESS ORGANISATION
(Cade No. 329)

CLASS XII
BRIEF
The courses in Business Studies and Accountancy are introduced at + 2 stage of Senior econdary
Education as formal commerce education is provided after first ten years of schooling. Therefore, it
becomes necessary that instructions in these subjects are given in such a manner that students have a good
understanding of the principles and practices bearing in business (trade and industry) as well as their
relationship with the society.

Business is a dynamic process that brings together technology, natural resources and human initiative
in a constantly changing global environment. To understand the framework in which a business operates,
a detailed study of the organisation and management of business processes and its interaction with the
environment is required. Globalisation has changed the way firms transact their business. Information
Technology is becoming a part of business operations in more and more organisations. Computerised
systems are fast replacing other systems. E-business and other related concepts are picking up fast which
need to be emphasized in the curriculum.

The course in Business Studies will prepare students to analyse, manage, evaluate and respond to
changes which affect business. It provides a way of looking at and interacting with the business environment.
It recognizes the fact that business influences and is influenced by social, political, legal and economic forces.
It allows students to appreciate that business is an integral component of society and develops an
understanding of many social and ethical issues.

Therefore, to acquire basic knowledge of the business world, a course in Business Studies

would be useful. It also informs students of a range of study and work options and bridges the gap

between school and work.

OBJECTIVES
To develop in students an understanding of the processes of business and its environment;

To acquaint students with the dynamic nature and inter-dependent aspects of business;

To develop an interest in the theory and practice of business, trade and industry;

To familiarize students with theoretical foundations of organizing, managing and handling operations
of a business firm;

To help students appreciate the economic and social significance of business activity andthe social
cost and benefits arising therefrom;

 To acquaint students with the practice of managing the operations and resources of business;

To prepare students to function more effectively and responsibly as consumers, employers,employees

and citizens;

To help students in making the transition from school to the world of work includingself-
employment;

To develop in students a business attitude and skills to be precise and articulate.

 SOCIOLOGY
(Cade No. 330)

CLASS XII

BRIEF

Sociology is introduced as an elective subject at the senior secondary stage. The syllabus is designed
to help learners to reflect on what they hear and see in the course of everyday life and develop a constructive
attitude towards society in change; to equip a learner with concepts and theoretical skills for the purpose.
The curriculum of Sociology at this stage should enable the learner to understand dynamics of human behaviour
in all its complexities and manifestations. The learners of today need answers and explanations to satisfy the
questions that arise in their minds while trying to understand social world. Therefore, there is a need to develop
an analytical approach towards the social structure so that they can meaningfully participate in the process
of social change. There is scope in the syllabus not only for interactive learning, based on exercises and project
work but also for teachers and students to jointly innovate new ways of learning.

Sociology studies society. The child’s familiarity with the society in which she /he lives in makes the
study of sociology a double edged experience. At one level sociology studies institutions such as family and
kinship, class, caste and tribe religion and region- contexts with which children are familiar of, even if
differentially. For India is a society which is varied both horizontally and vertically. The effort in the books
will be to grapple overtly with this both as a source of strength and as a site for interrogation.

Significantly the intellectual legacy of sociology equips the discipline with a plural perspective that
overtly engages with the need for defamiliarization, to unlearn and question the given. This interrogative and
critical character of sociology also makes it possible to understand both other cultures as well as relearn
about one’s own culture.

This plural perspective makes for an inbuilt richness and openness that not too many other disciplines
in practice share. From its very inception sociology has had mutually enriching and contesting traditions of
an interpretative method that openly takes into account ‘subjectivity’ and causal explanations that pay due
importance to establishing causal correspondences with considerable sophistication. Not surprisingly its field
work tradition also entails large scale survey methods as well as a rich ethnographic tradition. Indeed Indian
sociology, in particular has bridged this distinction between what has often been seen as distinct approaches

- 131 -
of sociology and social anthropology. The syllabus provides ample opportunity to make the child familiar
with the excitement of field work as well as its theoretical significance for the very discipline of sociology.

The plural legacy of sociology also enables a bird’s eye view and a worm’s eye view of the society
the child lives in. This is particularly true today when the local is inextricably defined and shaped by macro
global processes.

The syllabus proceeds with the assumption that gender as an organizing principle of society cannot
be treated as an add on topic but is fundamental to the manner that all chapters shall be dealt with. The
chapters shall seek for a child centric approach that makes it possible to connect the lived reality of children
with social structures and social processes that sociology studies.

A conscious effort will be made to build into the chapters a scope for exploration of society that
makes learning a process of discovery. A way towards this is to deal with sociological concepts not as givens
but a product of societal actions humanly constructed and therefore open to questioning.

OBJECTIVES

1. To enable learners to relate classroom teaching to their outside environment.

2. To introduce them to the basic concepts of sociology that would enable them toobserve and interpret
social life.

3. To be aware of the complexity of social processes.

4. To appreciate diversity in society in India and the world at large.

5. To build the capacity of students to understand and analyze the changes in contemporaryIndian society.

 ECONOMICS
(Cade No. 331)

CLASS XII

BRIEF
Economics is one of the social sciences, which has great influence on every human being. As
economic life and the economy go through changes, the need to ground education in children’s own
experience becomes essential. While doing so, it is imperative to provide them opportunities to acquire
analytical skills to observe and understand the economic realities.

At senior secondary stage, the learners are in a position to understand abstract ideas, exercise the
power of thinking and to develop their own perception. It is at this stage, the learners are exposed to the
rigour of the discipline of economics in a systematic way. The economics courses are introduced in such
a way that in the initial stage, the learners are introduced to the economic realities that the nation is facing
today along with some basic statistical tools to understand these broader economic realities. In the later
stage, the learners are introduced to economics as a theory of abstraction.

The economics courses also contain many projects and activities. These will provide opportunities
for the learners to explore various economic issues both from their day-to-day life and also from issues,
which are broader and invisible in nature. The academic skills that they learn in these courses would help
to develop the projects and activities. The syllabus is also expected to provide opportunities to use
information and communication technologies to facilitate their learning process.

OBJECTIVES
1. Understanding of some basic economic concepts and development of economic reasoning which the
learners can apply in their day-to-day life as citizens, workers and consumers.

2. Realisation of learners’ role in nation building and sensitivity to the economic issues that the nation
is facing today.

3. Equipment with basic tools of economics and statistics to analyse economic issues. This is pertinent
for even those who may not pursue this course beyond senior secondary stage.

4. Development of understanding that there can be more than one views on any economic issue and
necessary skills to argue logically with reasoning.

 HISTORY
(Cade No. 332)

CLASS XII

BRIEF
Through a focus on a series of critical historical issues and debates (class XI) or on a range of important
historical sources (class XII), the students would be introduced to a set of important historical events and
processes. A discussion of these themes, it is hoped, would allow students not only to know about these
events and processes, but also to discover the excitement of doing history.

Objectives
Effort in these senior secondary classes would be to emphasize to students that history is a critical
discipline, a process of enquiry, a way of knowing about the past, rather than just a collection of facts.

The syllabus would help them understand the process through which historians write history, by choosing
and assembling different types of evidence, and by reading their sources critically. They will appreciate how

historians follow the trails that lead to the past, and how historical knowledge develops

The syllabus would also enable students to relate/compare developments in different situations, analyze
connection between similar processes located in different time periods, and discover the relationship between
different methods of social enquiry within different social sciences.

The syllabus in class XI is organized around some major themes in world history. The themes have
been selected so as to (i) focus on some important developments in different spheres - political, social, cultural
and economic, (ii) study not only the grand narratives of development - urbanization, industrialization and

modernization but also to know about the processes of displacements and marginalization. Through the study
of these themes students will acquire a sense of the wider historical processes as well as an idea of the specific
debates around them. The treatment of each theme in class XI would include (a) a road picture of the theme
under discussion, (b) a more detailed focus on one region of study, (c) an introduction to a critical debate
associated with the issue.

In class XII the focus will shift to a detailed study of some themes in Ancient, Medieval and Modern
Indian history. The object would be to study a set of these themes in some detail and depth rather than
survey the entire chronological span of Indian .history. In this sense the course will be built on the knowledge
that the students have acquired in the earlier classes.

Each theme in class XII will also introduce the student to one type of source for the study of history.

- 140 -
 Through such a study students would begin to see what different types of sources can reveal and
what they cannot tell. They would come to know how historians analyze these sources, the problems and
difficulties of interpreting each type of source, ‘and the way a larger picture of an event, a historical process,
or a historical figure, is built by looking at different types of sources.

Each theme for class XII will be organized around four subheads: (a) a detailed overview of the
events, issues and processes under discussion, (b) a summary of the present state of research on the theme,
(c) an account of how knowledge about the theme has been acquired, (d) an excerpt from a primary source
related to the theme, explaining how it has been used by historians.

While the themes in both these classes (XI and XII) are arranged in a broad chronological

sequence, there are overlaps between them. This is intended to convey a sense that chronological divides
and periodization do not always operate in a neat fashion.

In the textbooks each theme would be located in a specific time and place. But these discussions
would be situated within a wider context by (a) plotting the specific event within time-lines, (b) discussing
the particular event or process in relation to developments in other places and other times.

 GEOGRAPHY
(Cade No. 333)

CLASS XII

BRIEF
Geography is introduced as an elective subject at the senior secondary stage. After ten years of
general education, students branch out at the beginning of this stage and are exposed to the rigours of the
discipline for the first time. Being an entry point for the higher education, students choose geography for
pursuing their academic interest and, therefore, need a broader and deeper understanding of the subject.
For others, geographical knowledge is useful in daily lives because it is a valuable medium for the education
of young people. Its contribution lies in the content, cognitive processes, skills and values that geography
promotes and thus helps the students explore, understand and evaluate the environmental and social
dimensions of the world in a better manner.

Since geography explores the relationship between people and their environment, it includes studies
of physical and human environments and their interactions at different scales-local, state/region, nation and
the world. The fundamental principles responsible for the varieties in the distributional pattern of physical
and human features and phenomena over the earth’s surface need to be understood properly. Application
of these principles would be taken up through selected case studies from the world and India. Thus, the
physical and human environment of India and study of some issues from a geographical point of view will
be covered in greater detail. Students will be exposed to different methods used in geographical
investigations.

OBJECTIVES
The course in geography will help learners:
Familiarise themselves with the terms, key concepts and basic principles of geography; Search for,
recognize and understand the processes and patterns of the spatial arrangement of the natural as well as
human features and phenomena on the earth’s surface; Understand and analyse the inter-relationship
between physical and human environments and their impact;

Apply geographical knowledge and methods of inquiry to new situations or problems at different
levels-local, regional, national and global;

Develop geographical skills, relating to collection, processing and analysis of data/ information and
preparation of report including maps and graphs and use of computers whereas possible; and

Utilize geographical knowledge in understanding issues concerning the community such as

environmental issues, socio-economic concerns, gender and become responsible and effective member of
the community.
