About Class 8 Social Science under NCF 2023
From 2026–27, NCERT has replaced the earlier three separate Class 8 Social Science books (History, Geography and Civics) with a single integrated textbook, Exploring Society: India and Beyond. It brings together five themes – India and the World, Tapestry of the Past, Our Cultural Heritage and Knowledge Traditions, Governance and Democracy, and Economic Life Around Us – through stories, sources and activities rather than rote learning. Our NCERT Solutions for Class 8 Social Science follow this new book exactly – the same chapters, the same activities and the same question order.
