Village Life in India Pupil's book

Village Life in India is one of the topics in the new Cambridge Primary Geography course, which has been specially written for the revised geography curriculum at key stage 2.

Each topic in the series covers the content of one locality or thematic study as outlined in the national curriculum, while developing a wide range of geographical skills and understanding.

This is an enquiry-based course which provides enjoyable activities suitable for children of a wide range of abilities.

Village life in India fulfils the requirement that pupils study a contrasting foreign locality.

Pupils are introduced to the physical and social contrasts of India, the area of the Nilgiri Hills and the villages of Chembakolli and Kanjikolly.

The changes in the traditional lifestyle of the Adivasi people are explored.

The effects of poverty, and efforts to improve the peoples' physical living conditions and their political and social rights are also examined.
