About the book & Series
This revised edition of Living in Harmony is a carefully graded series of 10 books on peace and Values education for classes 1 to 10. It addresses the need for peace education expressed in the National Curriculum Framework. The series is specially designed to sensitize students to the need for harmony and mutual respect among individuals and communities. It aims to help the young learners recognize their own responsibilities towards their environment and to instil in them the values that are vital to a meaningful and socially productive life. Each book incorporates these values through stories from history, folk tales, fables, real-life events and world literature. Laying the foundation of a peaceful world is one of the greatest needs as well as challenges of our times. The main focus of this revised edition is therefore to inculcate and reinforce universal human values of peace, love, truth and cooperation, so as to cultivate the knowledge, skills and attitude needed to achieve and sustain a global culture of peace.
