Description:

Viva ICSE Geography for classes 6 to 8 conforms to the latest curriculum released by the Council for the Indian School Certificate Examination (CISCE) in November 2016.

The primary objective of the series is to enable the learners to appreciate the working of the world around them and make them understand that the earth is the habitat of humans and other life forms. It also aims at familiarizing the learners with their own region, making them understand how various local and global regions are interdependent and how the developments in one region affect the other parts of the world.
