About this chapter

This Class 6 Economic Life chapter explores the many kinds of work people do every day and how each contributes to our lives. Through Anu and Kabir's neighbourhood, Kavya's village and Rajesh the carpenter, it divides activities into two groups: economic activities, done for money or money's worth (a shopkeeper, a lawyer's fee, a pilot's salary, a labourer's daily wage, payment in kind), and non-economic activities, done out of love, care, gratitude and respect (cooking for family, caring for grandparents, sevā). It introduces the market, value addition (Rajesh turning wood worth Rs 600 into a chair sold for Rs 1,000), and community participation through langar, Swachh Bharat Abhiyan and Van Mahotsav. CTET tests the economic versus non-economic distinction, definitions of market, fee, salary, wage, payment in kind and money's worth, value addition arithmetic, and examples of sevā. The four tests cover Practice (term recall), Quiz (classifying activities), Hard (PYQ-style application) and Mastery (full-chapter mixed mock).
