Class 10 : Social Science Syllabus (2020-21) For CBSE Board Exam | (CODE NO. 087)
Social Science is a compulsory subject up to secondary stage of school education. It is
an integral component of general education because it helps the learners to understand
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 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.
