From the 2026 session onwards, NCERT replaced the older History (Our Past – II), Geography (Our Environment) and Civics (Social and Political Life – II) books with a single, integrated textbook “Exploring Society: India and Beyond”, developed under the NCF-SE 2023 (National Curriculum Framework for School Education). This new book blends History, Geography, Civics and basic Economics into five connected themes, split across Part 1 and Part 2, instead of three separate subject books.
Our solutions follow this exact structure, chapter by chapter, theme by theme – so students studying from the new book get answers that match their actual textbook page numbers, activity names and question order.

Class 7 Social Science Old Syllabus Solutions.

Students and parents often ask why the chapter names have suddenly changed. Here’s a quick answer:

1. One integrated book instead of three: History, Geography, Civics and basic Economics are now woven into single connected chapters under NCF-SE 2023, rather than being taught as separate subjects.
2. Theme-based learning: Chapters are grouped into five recurring themes (Land & People, Tapestry of the Past, Cultural Heritage, Governance, Economic Life) that repeat in both Part 1 and Part 2, helping students see connections across subjects.
3. New chapter titles: For example, “Our Past – II” is now split into “Tapestry of the Past” chapters like The Rise of Empires and Empires and Kingdoms: 6th to 10th Centuries.
4. Economics introduced early: Concepts like barter, money, markets, banks and infrastructure are now formally part of the Class 7 syllabus.

Social Science rewards structured, factual, to-the-point answers more than long prose. Use this approach:

1. Read one chapter a day and note down key terms, dates and place names as you go – don’t try to memorize everything at once.
2. Make a timeline chart for History chapters and a labelled map for Geography chapters; visual recall works better than plain reading for this subject.
3. Answer in points, not paragraphs, wherever the question allows – examiners scan for keywords and bullet-style answers are easier to award full marks to.
4. Practise “Let’s Explore” and “Think About It” activities, not just the end-of-chapter questions – these are increasingly asked in school tests under the new syllabus.
5. Revise using previous-year and sample question papers in the last two weeks before an exam to get used to the actual answer length expected.
6. Link Civics answers to real examples (your own state government, local bank, local market) – examiners give extra credit for applied understanding, not just textbook repetition.
