It is an integral component of general education because it helps the learners to understand the environment in its totality, contextualise its components, develop a broader perspective, adapt an empirical, reasonable and humane outlook to help 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. Social Science subject helps students strengthen their knowledge of the world around them, enhance their critical thinking skills, deepen their cultural understanding, in still analytical and evaluation and synthesizing skills, improve research based learning skills, and enhance their creative abilities. It enables the students to understand the interdependence of individual and community. Makes students examine human behaviour from many different perspectives and help students learn to analyse human interaction based on social and cultural influences. The Social Science curriculum draws its content mainly from History, Geography, Political Science 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 to understand society from different angles and form a holistic view. Developing knowledge in each of these subjects provides students with a broader and more comprehensive understanding of how individuals and societies function. Through the study of History, students learn the significance of analysing historical events and using the past to evaluate modern trends and occurrences. Global History allows students to see the emergence of today's worldwide society, and enables the students to create projections on possible future outcomes of actions and events. The discipline of Social Sciences broadens an individual's political awareness and deepens the understanding of political systems. Examining past and current political conflicts can let students understand human life on a different level.
