As

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.
