As part of the CBSE 2024–25 Syllabus, students are required to prepare and submit Class 10 Social Science projects on Sustainable Development. Educart has created a special page with lots of inspiring ideas on various parts of this project.
Below you will find some creative project cover images to use, well-designed acknowledgment pages, and even complete project files (in video form) of toppers who have created the best projects on sustainable development in the past.
The Index is the Table of Contents arranged in sequence. Here is an eg. for you on how to arrange the sequence of the sustainable development project topics discussed in this article.
As you start project work for class 10 social science on the Topic ‘Sustainable Development’, do some research, start with an introductory paragraph, and then gradually move towards the definition. Here, you can mention the widely used definition of sustainable development given in the Brundtland Report, i.e. Sustainable development is a development that meets the needs of the present without compromising the ability of future generations to meet their own needs. Under the same topic, ‘Explain why sustainable development is important?'.
Here are a few resources that you can refer to for this purpose.
After you have completed the introduction by referring to the above sources, move to the next topic, i.e., the historical background of sustainable development. For this, you can refer to the links below to get an idea of the historical background.
The third topic should be "Why sustainable development is important?"
