Dear Principal,

 
 

 

Sub:    

Disaster Management in Social Science at Secondary Stage

 
 

 

As you are aware, the Board had introduced the subject of Disaster Management as a part of the Frontline curriculum in class VIII in the subject of Social sciences from the last academic year. As a follow up, the Board has now decided that the subject of Disaster Management will be a part of the curriculum in the subject of social science in class IX from the current academic year.(2004-05) and subsequently in class X in the academic year 2005 –06. Therefore the first batch of students with the above subject as a part of social science would appear in the class X examinations to be conducted in March 2006.

 

  

The Board has revised the syllabi accordingly and the same has been incorporated in the secondary school curriculum Vol.I 2006 for your information. The Board will also bring the supporting textual material in this regard shortly. The book will be available both in the English and Hindi version. You are requested to bring the above information to the attention of all concerned in your school and for the information of the students who would be appearing in the March 2006 examinations.

 

`The Board is also planning the teacher-training program in this subject in various parts of the country. Necessary information in this regard will be communicated to you shortly.

 

 

  

Yours faithfully,
