That’s Right! General Knowledge for Schools is a series for students of classes 1–8. Research shows that students who have a broad base of knowledge are better learners because their knowledge base helps process new learning more efficiently. That’s Right!  focusses on building this knowledge base in students by way of a cross-section of topics, both India-centric and global. It aims to create aware and responsible citizens who are proactive in resolving issues around them. With globalisation being a reality, it is imperative to equip students with 21st century skills and current knowledge.
The topic grid for the books, developed with meticulous care, ensures wide coverage—the natural world, history, geography, art and culture, sport, as well as current issues of global import, such as, the degradation of the environment, the scarcity of water or power, and many others.
