Geography Tuition - Class VI | Day-1

 Geography Tuitions to the students of Class VI

On the first day, we will start with Indian states and Union Territories. The first class will be map-based.  We will become familiar with the 28 states and 8 UTs as of present, 2022. Thus, no need to mention it, please keep some printed maps of India with you. Or you can buy the outline maps of India available in bookstores. 

 

Here is the outline map of India. Right-click on the image> Save as Image. Then take a printout of it for Drawing practice.

States & UTs of India Map

The best site for this map is definitely mapsofindia.com, but the problem is that the website doesn't allow you to download the map. However, Survey of India allows you to download a lot of maps Link

You also become familiar with the capitals of Indian states and UTs. Here is a table, hope it will help you. The names are arranged based on their position map ... not in alphabetical order. I think this is more memorable if you read it with the map.
