The Holy Faith Social Studies series has been prepared on the New Education Policy. The main emphasis is to ensure that children understand (and hence learn to cope with) the environment in which they live and function. The series thoroughly covers everyday things such as diet, water, clothes, various means of transport, the directions as represented by the points of the compass, urban living, environmental hazards and conservation, a mass of geographical knowledge including the difference between weather and climate, living conditions and regional dress. The basics of first aid for emergencies have been carefully explained. The need to preserve higher values has been woven into the text, reinforced by short accounts of the lives of some great Indians, to encourage children to become ideal citizens. Salient features of this path-breaking series include:
• Lucid text
• Brilliant full colour supporting pictures
• 'Do You Know' boxed feature to enhance knowledge
• Searching exercises as the end of every chapter
• There is ample material in this series to meet all the needs of both teacher and taught
