Foreword

For students, textbook is the basis of sequential studies, confirmation,


review and future studies. The level of school text book becomes very important
from the content and teaching - method's perspective. Text-books should not be
made insentient or to glorify things. Even today text-books are an important
instrument of teaching-learning process, which cannot be ignored.
For the last few years the syllabus of Board of Secondary Education,
Rajasthan was felt to be lacking in representation of linguistic and cultural
events of Rajasthan. Keeping this in view the state government decided to
implement its syllabus through Board of Secondary Education, Rajasthan, for
the students of class 9-12. In accordance to this, Board, has got assembled the
text-books for classes 9 to 11 from the session 2016-17 based on the set syllabus.
Hope these text books will be instrumental in providing the students with
originality of thought process, contemplation and expression.
