No Place for Us?
NCERT Looking Around, Class 5, Chapter 18 tells of families forced to leave homes and fields when dams, mines, roads, and cities take over their land. Children hear how shifting to crowded settlements breaks friendships, changes schools, and makes parents hunt daily wage work far away.

It asks readers to imagine losing their street and friends and to treat newcomers with kindness and fairness.
