scope of social studies;

                              kerala

One more academic year has passed.students are waiting for their final results.those who are completing their primary education is eager to take science as their main stream.why??what is so attracti   ve in this subject??parents should guide their children in their laby    rinth of time.unfortunately our parents are reflecting those oracles of trends.

    subjects related with social studies are getting no importance in our state.students studying those subjects are portrayed as lazy and menial. this condition is not because of inferiority of social sciences but to a large extent,because of the social equality of different   castes.caste system is the unique feature of our nation.although caste based discriminations are banned it still prevails in our nation. but our state has a different character in caste allegations and caste based discrimination. caste system was practiced in kerala up to an extent. the drafting of our constitution and land reform acts has brought immense changes in our society. backward classes were provided with reservations and scholarships which recuperated them.even before independence ,our kings were interested in the education and health of their subjects.the implementation of public  distribution systems and midday meal programmes increased the literacy rate.this redeployment of our state gave seldom importan     ce to humanities based studies ,which mainly concentrates on state and culture.

                  kerala is changed and improved,but restrictions like endogamy still prevails here.evils and discriminations based on caste system is almost erased from our society.but we should continue this process to completely remove the oracular menace of caste system.scope of social studies should be meticulously  analysed. redeploy of social sciences not only removes discrimination but also increases the job opportunities.
