CBSE Class 9 Social Science Syllabus 2025-26 Academic Year - Updated Curriculum

The CBSE Class 9 Social Science Syllabus 2025-26 is designed to awaken students’ curiosity and to help them build knowledge of society, politics, history, geography, economics, and their connections to each other. It connects important themes explored in human history, policy making, geography, and economics. The syllabus considers an important balance of ideas, and learning experiences; and the syllabus offers students a mix of concepts, examples and applications from life. Students investigate learning themes such as the French Revolution, the physical features of India, democratic rights, and the concepts of economic development while helping students connect with their learning in actual contexts. 

The syllabus builds knowledge through critical observation, questioning, and analysis. Each chapter clearly links social science to social experiences. Students learn how a democracy works, the significance of resource management, or how historical movements resulted in contemporary societies. We make the process of learning fun and more experiential by adding an activity-based approach such as maps, projects, and debating the content covered in the course.

The CBSE Class 9 Social Science course focuses on reasoning and decision-making that incorporates civic virtues and active participation. We believe that the course created a framework for students to have the skill development for postsecondary study and capacity for social citizenship. Social science is about more than knowledge, or history, but how we use knowledge to understand the past, think about the present and be responsible citizens of the future. Social science is about understanding ourselves and others as learners.
