Option 1 : Issues concern of science, social sciences

EVS, at the primary stage, is an integrated subject area that draws upon insights from sciences (physical, chemical, and biological), social studies (history, geography, political science, sociology, etc), and environmental education(protection and conservation). It is aimed at developing in children a holistic or integrated perspective of the environment where he/she lives in. 

According to NCF 2005, the main aim of environmental studies is

  • Developing curiosity and awareness about the environment in children.
  • Developing knowledge and understanding of the environment and its interrelationship with human beings including indigenous tradition and cultural practices related to the environment,
  • Inculcating habits, values, attitudes, and emotions to maintain and promote a quality environment.
  • Developing skills to solve environmental problems and informed concern of science and social science.

​Hence Issues concerning science, and social sciences are a part of environmental studies.
