🎒 Back from the holidays
The classroom buzzes as children return from their holidays with pictures and small things from the places they visited. Chandni went to a beach in Odisha, Ritika to the desert of Rajasthan, Gurpreet to his grandparents in Amritsar and Nayan to the mountains of Sikkim.
🌾 Plains with Gurpreet
Gurpreet tells of wide fields and rich soil where many people farm. His grandmother welcomed him warmly, and the family enjoyed makki di roti, sarson da saag and a big glass of lassi. He also visited the Golden Temple, where the langar serves free meals to everyone.
🏜 Desert with Ritika
Ritika describes a dry land with very little rain, where cactus, khejri and babool grow and camels walk across the sand. She brought bright bangles and a bandhini dupatta. Houses are made of mud, and tankas store precious water.
🏖 Coast with Chandni
Chandni’s scrap book is full of fishermen, shells, boat rides, sand art and a Sambalpuri saree. Many people there depend on fishing. She also explains that strong winds and cyclones are a challenge, and that early warnings help to protect people.
⛰ Mountains with Nayan
Nayan writes in his diary about cool clean air and Mount Kangchenjunga turning golden at sunrise. He tasted thukpa and sel roti, wore warm traditional dress and rode a yak. He also learned about the New Year festival Loosong and Namsoong.

Different Lands, Different Lives Class 4 FAQs
What is Different Lands, Different Lives in Class 4 EVS?
Different Lands, Different Lives is Chapter 9 of the NCERT Class 4 book Our Wondrous World. Four children share holiday trips to the plains of Punjab, the desert of Rajasthan, the coast of Odisha and the mountains of Sikkim, and we see how land shapes food, clothes, houses and festivals.
What are the four types of regions in this chapter?
The chapter looks at plains, deserts, coastal regions and mountains. Each has its own plants, animals, work, food, clothing and festivals.
What is special about the plains of Punjab?
The plains around Amritsar have large fields with rich fertile soil, and many people farm. Popular foods are makki di roti, sarson da saag and lassi. The Golden Temple also serves free meals in its langar.
How do plants and animals live in the desert?
A desert is dry with very little rainfall. Plants like the cactus, khejri and babool survive on little water, and the cactus stores water in its stem. Camels, lizards, wild cats, pythons and eagles live there, and the camel is called the ship of the desert.
What is life like on the coast?
In coastal regions like Puri in Odisha, many people depend on fishing. There are beaches, sea shells such as the shankh, sand art and sea creatures. People also face strong winds and cyclones, so early warnings help to keep them safe.
What is life like in the mountains?
Mountains are rocky and usually cold, and the Himalayan mountains have snow. In Sikkim people wear warm traditional dress, use yaks for travel and build wooden houses with slanting roofs. Trees like oak, pine, walnut and chestnut grow there.
