According to Kuldeep Kumar, Social Science is not just a subject, but a medium to understand our society, country, and the world. Several students consider it a subject for mugging up; however, it actually develops understanding and thinking skills. Social Science has no specific laboratory; rather, the environment and society around you serve as its lab. By understanding the subject and applying it to solve societal problems, it becomes an easy and high-scoring subject that can help you achieve over 90% in the board exams.
