NCERT Class 6 Vocational Education Kaushal Bodh (Sanskrit): Chapter 2 — प्रकरणम् २: यत्नैः उपकरणेषु सह कार्यम्
This chapter, 'प्रकरणम् २: यत्नैः उपकरणेषु सह कार्यम्' (Biodiversity Register), from NCERT's Class 6 Vocational Education book Kaushal Bodh, introduces students to the concept of biodiversity and its importance. The project aims to help students understand the diversity of life around them by creating their own biodiversity register. It explains that biodiversity encompasses all living organisms – plants, animals, birds, fish, insects, and microorganisms. The chapter highlights the use of a biodiversity register for documenting life in a specific area, including habitat details, soil types, scientific and local names of organisms, their food sources, and potential harmful organisms. It emphasizes the significance of recording biodiversity due to habitat changes caused by factors like land development and climate change, which can lead to species endangerment. The register also provides useful information on plants, animals, medicinal plants, and pest control, aiding in agricultural practices. Students are encouraged to create a 'mini' biodiversity register by observing and documenting local flora and fauna, seeking information from teachers, elders, libraries, the internet, or mobile applications. Key terms like 'scientific name' are also explained.
