ONTENTPREFACE
Our “Std VII: History and Civics Workbook” deals with the history of Maharashtra which includes
the foundation of Swaraj by Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj. The Civics section, on the other hand, tells
us about the Indian Constitution and its features.
Every chapter in the book begins with Important terms and Sequence of events which gives the
readers a better understanding of the chapter. The Summative Evaluation section includes
Questions based on the theory of each chapter. Each chapter comes with an exclusive section called
Oral Test, which has been prepared to test the chapter knowledge of a student.
The Formative Evaluation section includes Activity Based Questions along with Project Work.
All the chapters have been covered extensively through the medium of practice questions and
activities. The book comprises of four Unit Tests and two Semester Papers, which would help
students in thorough revision of the chapters.
We hope this book turns out to be a guiding light for the students of Std. VII and helps them to
prepare for their examination.
The journey to create a complete book is strewn with triumphs, failures and near misses. If you think
we’ve nearly missed something or want to applaud us for our triumphs, we’d love to hear from you.

A book affects eternity; one can never tell where its influence stops.
Best of luck to all the aspirants! From, Publisher
