When the Earth Shook!
NCERT Looking Around, Class 5, Chapter 14 remembers the strong Gujarat earthquake that flattened houses, cracked fields, and buried belongings under rubble. Through survivors who lost family and schools that turned into relief camps, children learn how tremors strike without warning and why neighbours become first helpers. The chapter explains safe spots during shaking, packed emergency bags, and the work of doctors, soldiers, and volunteers. It ends with people rebuilding stronger homes and holding each other through fear and grief.
