 Eklavya started its social science program in 1986 as an experimental project in 8 schools in Dewas, Hoshangabad and Harda district of Madhya Pradesh.The primary objective of this program was to strengthen the conceptual analysis of social science and at the same time develop the ability to critically view the social processes and realities around them.As a part of this programme children were seen as active participants in class-room dialogues and transactions wherein ample room was given to include their views and experiences.
