Note for the Teachers:
- The chapter Natural Resources (NCERT Chapter 14) will not be assessed in the year-end However, learners may be assigned to read this chapter and encouraged to prepare a brief write up on any concept of this chapter in their Portfolio. This may be for Internal Assessment and credit may be given for Periodic Assessment/Portfolio.
- The NCERT text books present information in boxes across the These help students to get conceptual clarity. However, the information in these boxes would not be assessed in the year-end examination.
