ANNEXURES
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.
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.

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.
