PROBLEMS FACED BY WOMEN.

There are lots of problem faced by women, the problems faced by women are categorised into four.

Married and working:

The women who are all married and working, they face problems like doing household works and also their jobs simultaneously. This brings them heavy work load and makes them weak and tired and also soon they will suffer from damage of bones. The solution for these problem is they may separate their work to their family members so that their burden may reduce and they will work peacefully without any disturbances.

Married and not working:

The women who are married and not working, they face problems like dominated by men, that they don’t know anything if they suggests ideas or talk about something. Some men show their angry to them that they are not working for balancing their income for households. The solution is they may work from their home like stitching. This may make them not feel so guilty.

 

 

Not married and not working:

For these people they are dependent on their parents or some others for leading their life. This will not make them difficult in initial days, but when they see some people with family and working, they become very depressed and this may lead to make them wrong decision. The solution is they may help orphans in orphanage like teaching them and working for them, by doing these works they may relief from depression.

Studying girl:

For studying girls there are not much problems to face, the only thing is they may go wrong being more affection in person and make wrong decisions, this may spoil their life. The solution is they should control their emotions till they become mature and come to a good position in their life. For that they must join with good friends so they may lead their life in good manner.

Cottage Industries

Cottage industries have an essential role to play in the economies of all Asian countries. These are known to constitute major manufacturing activities and create employment opportunities in the rural areas and are therefore are important for developing economies.

Cottage industries are generally small-scale industries which generally observed to be unorganized and labour intensive as the goods are not mass-produced like the ones from factories. These can be started with a low amount of capital as the goods are made in the houses of the makers using conventional methods of production. One of the reasons why the goods are not mass-produced in such industries is because these are rural-based and focus to meet the local need.

The most important advantage that a country gets out of cottage industries is the ability to create jobs. It not only provides employment options to numerous families throughout the year but gives give economic independence to women in rural areas who are a part of such industry.

How do cottage industries operate?

A cottage industry can produce anything like clothing items, arts, and handicrafts, shoe-making, handmade jewellery pieces, furnishings, home décor articles, etc. These can be established by the members of a family, group, or community and are likely to produce labour-intensive goods. The production mainly includes conventional methods like using traditional tools which require the use of hands. A cottage industry paves the way for various supporting services in trading and logistics. It connects the traders to the manufacturers which lead to the growth of rural economies. Hence, the cottage industry is usually categorized as a small-scale industry since in most cases, there is no mass production of goods.

Well-known cottage industries in India

India is well-known for various kinds of cottage industries like:

  • Handloom and Power loom
  • Milk-based industry 
  • Handicraft industry
  • Stone-cutting
  • Carpet making 
  • Cotton weaving
  • Silk weaving
  • Leatherworks
  • Metalworks

 

What are the challenges faced by cottage industries in India?

There several problems faced by the cottage industries in India such as the unavailability of modern equipment and technology. The magnificent craftsmanship and talent are not enough for the productivity of good but there is an urgent need for technology to get involved to enhance productivity in less time.

There is limited availability of raw materials as there is continuous competition with the industrial houses. This doesn’t go well when a large company moves into the neighbourhood and begins to mass-produce the same goods at lower prices. 

There is a lack of logistics and banking services to support such small-scale industries.

Skilled and hard-working labours have started to move to cities to work for bigger industrial houses which in turn results in less productivity.

Since cottage industries are not tech-driven, they are unable to invest in advertising on e-commerce and online platforms. With the growing online shopping culture, small-scale enterprises are unable to market their goods efficiently.

 

Conclusion 

The cottage industry is essential for the economic development of any locality, region, or country and needs the support of modern technology and proper machinery to produce exquisite artifacts and does not remain limited to only rural areas.

Trust

Human life revolves around ‘Trust’. We trust people, god, philosophies, theories, science, art and so on…The trust factor plays an important role in our lives we have to believe in something or the other to carry forward our life. When someone says, I trust you, those words would be the most encouraging one that’ll help you to trust yourself and boost your self-confidence. We need to trust and need to be trusted.

3 main points on Building Trust:
  • Being Truthful
  • Protecting the other person’s secret
  • Believing in them
Some of the Factors that shatter Trust:
  • Unwanted doubts
  • Gossiping
  • Spilling out entrusted secret
  • Not believing when things go wrong

Trust takes time, gradually built and understood, it is much strong in root and the outside factors cannot affect it. In the present world we live around lies, people promote lie. ‘Trust’ has become a posh product. Most People are influenced easily, they choose to believe what is easy than to find the hard truth. Trust is a fixed factor which cannot be changed by influences We should not believe just anything, we require- facts, evidences, experience etc., to trust. Once we put our trust, we follow it or it’ll be our driving force. When we trust, it is believing totally no matter what.

Importance of Investing

In India, the working class is majorly divided in two sections.

First , are the one’s that believe in spending whatever they earn and enjoy the present at most.

The other group of people believes in saving a part of their income for the unforeseen circumstances and with a hope to fulfil future goals like buying a house, car or retirement planning.

Now the people who spend all of their earnings find themselves in a difficult spot at the time of any unforeseen circumstance and regrets not saving.

What about the group of people who save a major part of their earnings? Are they able to fulfil their goals? The answer is “NO”.

Here comes the role of inflation. Inflation is the rate at which price of commodities increases and value of money decreases. So, instead of just saving, we should start investing in order to fulfil our financial goals and be financially independent.

Saving is important but more important is that we invest because money will not grow unless we will invest more and more . Also one investing should be in different schemes as well as plans . 

“If you do not make money while you sleep then you will have to earn till you die ” . These are the most true words said by some great expert . But it would be better if we practice the same in our daily lives . 

Second earthquake in china

On Friday night, another strong, shallow earthquake shook an area of southwestern China near Myanmar, causing at least one death.

The two quakes were not related, Tytell said.

The US Geological Survey said that the magnitude 6.1 quake was centered 10 kilometers (6 miles) below the surface northwest of the city of Dali, a scenic area in Yunnan province.

Shallow quakes often cause more damage on the Earth’s surface, especially in populated areas.

The earthquake caused strong shaking around Dali but Chinese news reports showed relatively little damage.

The Yunnan seismological bureau said it received a report of one death and six injuries in the Dali area. It gave the magnitude of the quake as 6.4 and said it struck 8 kilometers (5 miles) below the surface.

The area experiences frequent seismic activity. In 2020, a magnitude 5 earthquake in Yunnan killed four people and injured 23, according to the China Earthquake Networks Center.

China’s worst earthquake in recent years struck the mountainous western portion of Sichuan province to the north of Yunnan in 2008, killing nearly 90,000 people

IRON DOME THE SHIELD OF ISRAEL

IRON DOME PROTECTING ISRAEL LIKE WAKANDA-

Iron Dome is an effective, truck-towed, multi-mission mobile air defence system developed by Rafael Advanced Defence Systems. The system has been developed to counter very short-range rockets and 155mm artillery shell threats with ranges of up to 70km. It can be operated in all weather conditions including fog, dust storm, low clouds and rain.

The all-weather air defence system protects the population and critical assets and can be strategically placed to reduce collateral damage. Iron Dome detects, analyses and intercepts a range of incoming threats, including C-RAM, precise guided missiles, cruise missiles, unmanned aerial vehicles and air-breathing threats.

The system has so far intercepted more than 2,500 incoming targets with a success rate of over 90%.

Selected by the Israel Defence Ministry, Iron Dome provides defence against short-range missiles and rockets which pose a threat to the civilian population of Israel’s northern and southern border.

“In July 2010, the US House of Representatives approved $205m in funding to speed up the production and deployment of Iron Dome.”

The system was deployed by the Israeli Air Force (IAF) in March 2011.

In November 2012, Israel installed the fifth Iron Dome battery at Gush Dan in response to the rocket attacks on the Tel Aviv area. The Iron Dome air defence system is being used to intercept and shoot down hundreds of rockets from Gaza as the latest round of escalations between Israel and Palestine in May 2021 engulfed the region. The violent clashes saw Hamas launch a barrage of rockets targeting Tel Aviv in Israel in response to an alleged Israeli airstrike in Gaza. The death toll in the Gaza Strip as a result of the Israeli airstrikes stood at more than 60 people.

I-DOME is a mobile version of the system, which can be deployed on a single truck, while C-DOME is a naval version.

Iron Dome mobile air defence system background and development details

The firing of rockets by Hezbollah during 2006’s Second Lebanon War led to the development of Iron Dome. Nearly 4,000 rockets, mostly of the short-range Katyusha type, were fired on Haifa and other northern regions of Israel.

About 44 Israeli civilians were killed in the attack and approximately 250,000 citizens were evacuated and relocated to other parts of Israel.

Between 2000 and 2008, more than 4,000 mortars and 4,000 rockets (mostly Qassams) were fired from Gaza into southern Israel. As the range of the Qassam has been expanded due to the introduction of 122mm Grad launchers, nearly one million southern Israelis came within the range.

To counter the rocket threats, the Israel Defence Ministry decided in February 2007 to develop a mobile air defence system.

The missile defence system was successfully tested in March 2009. The testing was carried out without physically intercepting a missile or rocket. In July 2009, during a defence ministry test, the system successfully intercepted a number of rockets.

A new battalion was established by the IAF in August 2009 to operate the Iron Dome system. Multiple rocket bombardments mimicking Qassams and Katyushas were intercepted successfully in a test carried out in January 2010.

The final testing of the Iron Dome was undertaken in July 2010. The system successfully determined and intercepted only incoming missile threats, while other missiles which were headed toward open fields were not intercepted.

Raytheon collaborated with Rafael for the commercialisation of the Iron Dome weapon system in the US in August 2011. Raytheon secured a $149m contract from Rafael for the supply of Tamir interceptor components used in the system, in September 2014. It was formed as a new joint venture between Raytheon and Rafael in August 2020 to establish an Iron Dome production facility in the US.

Impact of Covid 19 on Environment

How does COVID-19 impact the environment?

COVID 19’s impact on the environment has been mixed. Although the pandemic resulted in improved environmental conditions, there have been other negative effects, some of which are obvious, others less so.

In brief, the positive effects have been reduced GHG (greenhouse gas) emissions, improved water quality, reduced noise pollution, improved air quality and in some cases, wildlife restoration. Negative effects have been increased medical waste, haphazard disposal of PPE, increased municipal waste and reduced recycling efforts.

Whilst the world has agreed on an international inquiry into the origins, handling and response of the virus, of which the results are likely to be years away, many have reached the conclusion that the cause of the global pandemic is the result of human activity, such as deforestation, animal trades and increased urbanisation. Whilst advances in medicine have kept many epidemics managed, many speculated that it was only a matter of time before a global pandemic of this magnitude was to occur.

COVID-19 became one of the most widespread zoonoses, which led to 1,5 million deaths in less than one year 

COVID-19 is the latest of several recent zoonotic diseases1 in humans and demonstrates how human health and nature are closely intertwined. Interaction with nature could expose humans to a range of animal diseases. In fact, about three to four new infectious diseases occur every year, most of which originate from wild animals. Over the past 30 years, approximately 60-70% of new human diseases have been of zoonotic origin. The growth of zoonotic disease outbreaks is a sign of a breakdown in the relationship between humans and nature and is likely to worsen.

The drastically increasing amount of domestic and medical waste is one of the key negative outcomes of COVID-19. Coronavirus waste became a new form of global pollution. The adopted quarantine, isolation, and social distancing led to a corresponding increase in the amount of solid household waste (15-25%) and a significant increase in the generation of medical waste in healthcare institutions (from 10 to 20 times).

From the beginning of 2020, a huge amount of disinfectants has been applied to roads, commercial, and residential areas to exterminate the COVID-19 virus. These disinfectants can kill non-targeted beneficial species and create ecological imbalance. Much of the disinfectants and antiseptics, such as hand soap which contains a high percentage of the hormone-disrupting pesticide Triclosan (TSC – Triclosan converts to dioxin, a highly toxic compound when exposed to sunlight), is naturally finding its way into our water systems.

COVID-19’s increased waste also affected waste management (WM) systems. Reduced employment / workers reduced recycling efforts which further compounded challenges in the collection and disposal of general waste. Municipal budgets were weakened as a result of increased healthcare costs and implemented social security regulations. Several governments introduced limitations to the volume of recycling activities in order to reduce the risk of virus infection.

There have been so many more direct and indirect consequences of the COVID-19 pandemic, of which will be realised in the months and even years to come, but what is evident even in the short-term, is the urgency for all us all to stand up and work out how we can play a part in protecting and rehabilitating the earth’s biodiversity which is currently balancing on a knife-edge.

Digital divide in vaccination

The second wave of Covid-19 has unleashed carnage in many states of India. As of the end of May 2021, India registered nearly 25.2 million cases and 2,83,248 deaths. Infections first grew in urban areas and then spread to rural areas. This pattern was mapped in both, the first as well as the second wave.

India’s rural areas cover 66.5 percent of the country’s population. However, nearly 60 percent of hospitals, 80 percent of doctors, and 75 percent of medical facilities are situated in urban areas. This shows the lack of medical infrastructure in the rural areas. The cause for concern is the fact that surge in registered cases and infections did not see a parallel rise of vaccination in these rural regions. This will result in rapid spread of this virus, and lesser number of inoculations to prevent the spread.

Many factors have contributed towards this divide between rural and urban areas when it comes to vaccination. One of the most important one being digital divide. Here are some statistics to show the wide disparity between the 2 regions in issues pertaining to digital knowledge.

When India has 450 million smartphone users as of 2019, only 25percent of it’s rural citizens had a device. Only 4 percent of Indians in rural areas has access to computers. Internet connections were not prevalent in all regions, in fact, only 34 percent of Indians have one.

Hence, it is understandable to assume that many people in rural areas do now know or cannot access the digital portal systems like Co-WIN and Aarogya Setu, which helps citizens of this country book vaccination slots and complete the entire procedure online. The inoculation drive is being pushed backwards.

This platform favors internet-savvy urban population with access to the advanced technology, further excluding less aware rural people with lack of digital know-how, out of the safety net. Such a digital divide has forced digitally illiterate people to either visit registration centers or book vaccinations on the app with the help of some facilitator or be left out of the vaccination process.

The requirements of this app are a phone or a laptop to open the particular website which is not available with all. Even if they do have a digital device, many people do not have data packages to browse and book the slots. Hence there are many obstacles for rural people in the inoculation procedure.

Further, the portal requires uploading the identification proof. For certain people-street vendors; dwellers of urban slums, and remotely inaccessible areas; people engaged in begging and the like-identification proof is hard to come by even during normal times, where they struggle to avail benefits from the social protection schemes introduced by the government.  Also, a few months back, the portal only published all the information in English language without taking into account the people who did not know this language,.

Also, for the informal work force, where every day’s wage is important for providing food and resources to their family on a daily basis, taking a day off is very difficult. The entire procedure of vaccination for people having all the resources may be considered pretty simple. But for the poor households, this is not possible. They cannot afford to forgo a day’s wage in such times, and perhaps even more if they are responsible for the vaccination of all the family members.

The Supreme Court states that India’s vaccine policy was against the rights of the poor and marginalized. They considered the policy as extremely disproportionate and not in terms with societal realities. Such problems should be addressed so that no more lives are lost at the cost of digital disparity.

 

 

 

Corruption:Big issue

Corruption can be found everywhere: corporate, government, courts, media, and civil society, as well as in all sectors, from health and education, infrastructure, and sports.

Corruption can affect all of the politicians, government officials, civil servants, business people, and members of the general public.
Political corruption, all of the bad in India. It is the main cause of concern is that corruption is weakening the political body and damaging the special importance of the society’s management team. Currently, the policy is only intended to be used for the criminals, and the criminals should be in the policy.

The punishment for corruption:

The prevention of Corruption Act, the Public Servants Act of 1988, or the Impact of the civil Servants Act be punishable by imprisonment of a minimum of six months and a maximum fine of five years of age and over.

Causes of Corruption in India

Pollution in India

Pollution is the largest environmental cause of disease and premature death. Pollution of air, land, and water cause more than 9 million premature deaths (16% of all deaths worldwide). That’s three times more deaths than from AIDS, tuberculosis, and malaria combined and 15 times more than from all wars and other forms of violence. Global health crises, such as the current COVID-19 pandemic further highlight the need for continued action in addressing environmental pollution. Ongoing research is finding close links between air pollution and incidence of illness and death due to COVID-19.
It is critical to address pollution because of its unacceptable toll on health and human capital, as well as associated GDP losses. Pollution management offers no-regrets options that can alleviate poverty, boost shared prosperity, and address the vital demands of millions of people for healthier and more productive lives. In addition, pollution management can enhance competitiveness, for example, through job creation, better energy efficiency, improved transport, and sustainable urban and rural development. Pollution management can also make substantial contributions to climate change mitigation through actions, such as reduction of black carbon emissions, which contribute to both air pollution and global warming.
Industrialization and urbanization have intensified environmental health risks and pollution, especially in developing countries. Air pollution, lead poisoning, inadequate water supply, sanitation and hygiene, and hazardous wastes cause debilitating and fatal illnesses, create harmful living conditions, and destroy ecosystems. Pollution stunts economic growth and exacerbates poverty and inequality in both urban and rural areas. Poor people, who cannot afford to protect themselves from the negative impacts of pollution, end up suffering the most.

Time management

Time management helps youbpertoizee your tasks as that you ensure you have enough time available to complete every project .the quality of your work increase when your not rushing to complete ahead of a fast approaching deadline one of the biggest advantage of time management is that it allow us to more efficient by being in control of how we spent our time .we can focus better on important tasks and better focus leads to better efficiency .effective time management allow student to complete more or less time and they are not wasting tine on distraction such as social media

Time is gold .once waste it cannot be back .use our time in useful way .

GLOBAL WARMING

Global warming refers to the gradual rise in the overall temperature of the atmosphere of the Earth. There are various activities taking place which have been increasing the temperature gradually. Global warming is melting our ice glaciers rapidly. This is extremely harmful to the earth as well as humans.

Global warming has become a grave problem which needs undivided attention. It is not happening because of a single cause but several causes. These causes are both natural as well as manmade. The natural causes include the release of greenhouses gases which are not able to escape from earth, causing the temperature to increase.

After that, the excessive use of automobiles and fossil fuels results in increased levels of carbon dioxide. In addition, activities like mining and cattle rearing are very harmful to the environment . One of the most common issues that are taking place rapidly is Deforestation 

The average temperature is constantly rising by 1.5 degrees Celsius for the last few years .Glaciers have been melting, many countries have started water shortage, flooding, erosion and all this is because of global warming

The warning bells are tolling to awaken us from the deep slumber of complacency we have slipped into. Humans can fight against nature and it is high time we acknowledged that. With all our scientific progress and technological inventions, fighting off the negative effects of global warming is implausible. We have to remember that we do not inherit the earth from our ancestors but borrow it from our future generation and the responsibility lies on our shoulders to bequeath them a healthy planet for life to exist. 

Child Marriage

Marriage is the most blessed part of our life. It connects not just two people but also two families. The blissful marriage considered to be one of the most successful events for Indians. Many parts of the country have forgot the real value of marriage. They have manipulated it their way and do their sins by ruining two immature person’s life who doesn’t even know the meaning of Marriage. Child marriage is a crime according to Indian Government. The minimum age decided by the Government for a boy is 21 years and for a girl is 18 years. Even the government is try to do amendment in this law by increasing the minimum age of girl child to be 21 years.
In some parts of the country, It becomes a tradition to do early marriage even before they become an adult. Marriage is not just a word, It is a responsibility which can be fulfilled by two individuals if they know their duties and aware with the benefits and consequences comes with it. Several cases daily used to be reported by the police mostly in rural areas. If a girl is born in their houses, they treat her like a burden and wants to get rid of her as soon as possible. Main reason of child marriage is illiteracy and narrow minded thinking. India is a developing country, It will take many years for India to reach the position where the child marriage and tradition of dowry get fully demolished.
Marriage is a part of our life not an ultimate goal which needs to be fulfilled at any cost. If our children gets proper facilities and an environment to become what they want then there is not limit to reach new heights. Child marriage have been discarded by major section of our society by implementing strict laws and spread awareness about the impacts of heavy responsibilities in early age . It will take more efforts and strict laws to fully discard it and adapt the new laws. In the mean time, Government has introduced several campaigns like “Beti Bachao, Beti Padhao” and many more which have actually helped parents to think about the future of their children rather than about marriage.
To be independent and stand strong in the competitive world everybody needs to prepare themselves for upcoming challenges and tackling all the problems with grace and pride. Education here plays quite an important role which will help us spreading awareness and putting light on backward tradition which have been followed by our society since very long time. Now , The time has come to move forward and look for brighter future despite looking in backward direction and regretting all the decision we have taken. Child marriage is a crime and Every human being who encourages it should get punished.

Justice tempered with mercy or law.

Justice should be tempered with both mercy and justice, because the offender may have a harsher punishment for small mistakes. But this can be overcome by mercy. For some mistakes like harassing and abusing women should be punished through law. Because all should respect women and give them. They are also human beings, so for such crime justice should be tempered with law. But for most crimes we can give justice through mercy.

We all know Kiran Bedi the Honourable Lieutenant governor of Puducherry and also a retired IPS officer advised the criminals and take care of them. She showed mercy to stop crimes. While justice be done, the punishment has to softened by kindness. When justice is tempered with mercy it can make good public policy. Any justice is untouched by spark of humanity or mercy is savage as justice is not tempered with mercy. Some people know that they are going to do mistake which is against the law. For such people justice should be tempered with law. For example: many people started bribing, they know it is a against the law but they do it because of greediness. This should be overcome by law. So, at last both mercy and law should be there for justice.

Power of Money

Every human being have their basic needs i.e., Food, Shelter and clothes are considered to be top needs among others. Money plays an important role in fulfilling all our needs and wants. The motivation people get to work daily hard is to earn more and more money. Their dedication and passion for their work comes more naturally when they get paid right amount of money for their money. Money plays an important role for us to survive in this planet. Life of an individual is to born, survive, holds responsibility and fullfill their duties, retirement and ultimately death. Materialistic items have started giving us more pleasure and entitlement.
Money can actually buy every item that you want be it comfortable bed, luxurious car, air conditioner, house or anything. The superiority of money has reached to next level where everyone runs after money. If a person is rich, they don’t need to stand in a queue to get their work done. Every one starts respecting you if you have money. Just like our earth, Life is also circled in between money and power. The world is fighting very hard to survive in these tough times to overcome from the pandemic situation, Most of the people are losing their humanity and selling oxygen cylinders or necessary medical equipments at very high cost. It is the time to stand united and work towards helping each other and fighting the virus, not to earn money by putting our country’s people in danger. The result of our sins are very heavy which no individual can handle it alone.
The people who are most affected are middle class and poor people who are not even able to afford proper food for their families. In this critical situation, Every person who have money and can help others should come forward and perform their duties as a citizen of India. It is true that Money can buy everything but It can’t give you back a life of your loved ones from the heaven.
Situations like COVID-19 have realized us the value of life, money and time. Being a good person who can help the community in any way possible is enough. Money is important but don’t make it everything for that you have to lose your identity, integrity and respect.

Female emancipation a necessity or a curse of the society.

Female emancipation is a necessity thing. Because when women are emancipation everybody in the society will respect women. In olden days women are not much respected but nowadays some people are respecting women for their knowledge and talent. female emancipation is not so improved, nowadays also we can see how women are abused dominated by male.

Even though women are educated they are not much respected. This is because heir right is not fulfilled. In every occupation woman are working there, this is due to female emancipation. Many people worked hard for the equality of woman, the famous known persons are Bharathiyar and Periyar. They struggled for the equality of women. In every home all females are educated and they are working in every fields. This is due to female emancipation.

Success measured by money or mental strength

              Success is measured by mental strength, because life may contain many struggles. To handle it we must have mental strength. A person who are having mental strength will definitely succeed in life, mental strength means controlling our emotions and thoughts and work with them to choose actions. It looks difficult to control our emotions and thoughts but without struggle we could not succeed in life. It keeps motivated in goals.

               When we are mentally strong we could control our negative thoughts which are against our goal and work on it to achieve their goal. But when they are in a half- way to achieve their goal, their negative thoughts will stop them to achieve. Mental strength will help us to overcome negativity. It helps us to be a courageous person. Many achievers succeed their goal is due to mental strength. A real talented person will succeed only through mental strength. Stephen Hawking is the best example, like even though he is a paralysed person he didn’t stop his journey for his disease. He had overcome from that negativity and became one of the scientists in the world. He succeeded in his life due to mental strength to succeed in their life.

“EFFECTS OF EXCESSIVE INTERNET USE ON HEALTH AND DEPRESSION”
The internet is arguably the paramount invention of the 21st century, which has immensely changed the lives of individuals all around the world. With just a couple of clicks, we are digitally roaming around the world. But here is the question; whether or not today’s generation is indulging in excessive use of the internet. In answer to this question the experts who have a close eye on this perspective have their opinion that there has been a noticeable increase in the usage of the internet.The young generation is continuously connected to the internet whether it’s for checking out information, research work, social media usage such as Facebook, Instagram, Twitter, Snapchat, or playing online video games. It’s easy to ascertain how teenagers get so immersed within the lures of the internet, that they have lost the track of time. And soon, the necessity to constantly be wired to the web will turn into a full-blown addiction if it is not so clear by now. The web addiction then becomes a danger rather than a boon, and it deeply affects teenagers’ practical life such as health, social, and school life.Therapists have revealed that they treat numerous young adults for excessive internet use because it had affected all the key areas of their life such as they damage their eyes, emotions, family gatherings and mainly studies.One of the worst addiction is of the online role-playing games. These games are never-ending games that have so many levels and different stuff to do that you are completely sucked into the digital realm. The majority of the teenagers are bent to it. As these games are online based so there is always someone you can play with.For youngsters, social media has become an area where everyone participates to express themselves. The social media giants such as Facebook, Instagram, Twitter, Snapchat all are filled with endless images, videos different content, and updates.When we see other people’s newsfeeds and try it to compare it with our lives then we may find dissatisfaction with life, useless feelings, and loss of confidence.

LIMIT EXCESSIVE INTERNET USE FOR WELLBEING :

In such a daunting scenario of excessive internet use, some caution and sense must be exercised while using the web. Keep in mind, the internet may be an influential tool to gain knowledge and also keep you up to date for what is happening in the world.

“IMPACT OF ENVIRONMENTAL POLLUTION ON HEALTH”

“IMPACT OF ENVIRONMENTAL POLLUTION ON HEALTH”

Environmental pollution is increasing day-by-day around the whole globe and people have to live in a toxic world in this 21st century. Environmental pollution is alarming for the whole world as it has the worst impact on health and it is the big reason for the spike in diseases like cancer, diabetes, heart disease and lung disease among the public. The harmful impact of environmental pollution on health will be discussed here. A report of the World Health Organization (WHO) says that 92% of the world’s population lives in polluted areas. Environmental pollution is directly effecting the children of such areas and they are at high risk. According to a report of UNICEF, around 600,000 children are dying annually due to diseases caused by air pollution that is the most common type of environmental pollution.Environmental pollution is causing various types of diseases and defects in the human body. Moreover, the most common pollutants in the environment like sulfur dioxide (SO2), ozone (O3), carbon di and monoxide (CO2 & CO), heavy metals, nitrogen oxides (NOx), etc. are causing various diseases like respiratory disorders, heart stroke, mental disorders, etc…When a human takes a breath in the air, the person inhales various chemicals that have a direct impact on health. Further, it increases the risk of asthma and respiratory diseases as respiration is the main function of the body to live. Also, evidence of scientific research shows that Ozone in the air affects the functioning of the lungs in the human body. Therefore, due to the negative effects on the lungs, people suffer from respiratory inflammation.People living in the polluted area are the victim of cancer mostly. As most of the regions are polluted with industrial smoke, coal smoke, fire smoke, and vehicle smoke. Additionally, cancer is also caused by indoor items and office materials. These indoor items are paints, carpets, Split AC, air freshness, stabilizers, and sterilizers. Not only this, but the existence of the organic compounds in the environment is also causing cancer.Environmental pollution is directly affecting the heart. Therefore, the ratio of heart stroke and diseases are increasing. People of the polluted areas are at high risk of high blood pressure and damaged blood vessel functioning. Also, some pollutants like Ozone affects lung nerves that causes an irregular heart rate.More than the above, environmental pollution is also causing wheezing and coughing in people. Also, environmental pollution harms the immune systems of the body. Therefore, the human body will not able to do the daily activities of life with proper health.The impact of environmental pollution on health is not limited as air pollution is the main source that causes insulin resistance and which leads to the occurrence of diabetes in the human body. Many people are also associated with autoimmune diseases due to environmental pollution. Also, chemicals like CO, NO2, O3 in the air are also causing mood disorders. Even, it causes the arising of the symptoms of the migraine and headache. Skin disorder, reproductive issues, thyroid disorder, obesity, and premature aging are also observed due to environmental pollution.

Fines In India

Recently the Delhi collected Rs 11 crore fine for violation of of traffic rules . Sometimes these challans are justified but sometimes these are imposed wrongly on people . I would like to narrate my experience on fines . I along with my friend was going on a bicycle for some personal reasons as the lockdown has finally came to an end in Uttar Pradesh . So we were wearing masks and also my friend who was driving the bicycle was wearing a helmet . I accept my mistake that I who was sitting on the back was not wearing any helmet . So we both were caught by a policeman and a hefty fine of Rs 2000 was imposed on both of us . It was ok because it was my mistake and an e-challan was delivered at his home . What happened next was when we were finally leaving ,at another red light one more police officer stopped us and put a fine on us once again and the same thing happened the third and the the last time . So in short in one day three freaking fines were imposed on both of us . Is this a joke or something ? I tried to explain the officers that I had already paid the fine on the previous red light but damn did not cared about the burden borne by my friend in the form of three fines each of Rs 2000 . So I am not complaining about the fines but my sole motive of writing about the story is that their should be a body governing such functions of the police officers or they would take illegitimate benefit of the power that they have .

Lockdown period has really made people lazy

Lockdown was the most unexpected thing happened across the Globe, but has ever it really utilized properly by the people that has really an  un imaginable answer that is NO . It really gave an opportunity to turn lazy. They never tried something productive though it has harsh circumstance outside but we have to move forward along with the time and decide what really matter for us we need to take good good care of our health. we stop being lazy and once thing how to be responsible and hold the opportunity that this life  has provided us? how to become the best version of us and better human being among the society.so stop being lazy pull yourself be optimistic and determined grab opportunity and do hard work and strive for success.

Emotions Is it really need to be kept hidden …

Emotions are the only thing which keeps human heart sane. It is the only one thing that makes a connection among human, emotions are the handful of deal that need to be preserved and protected and the feeling that has this amazing capacity but if kept hidden that was this because insecurity and immaturity but we should let go of everything and feel free to display it. according to situation we need to act and mask our feeling or emotions so it has to be preserved well.

 

Racism against ‘Northeast Indian People’

Northeast India is the eastern most part of India which comprises of 8 states Arunachal Pradesh, Assam, Manipur, Meghalaya, Mizoram, Nagaland, Tripura, and Sikkim. These places showered with the beauty of ‘Mother Nature’.

India is well known for its Diversity. People, culture, tradition, art etc., in one region are not the same as the other region in the country, this diversity and difference is what makes India unique. But are people in India embracing these changes?

Racism in own Country:

People travelling from their hometown to any new region will be usually prone to or come across some sort of racism. But, people from Northeast region of India who move to other parts of the country are more affected by racism and discrimination. The Covid 19 situation has made it worse. They face a lot discrimination for their appearance, people from other parts of India call them as Chinese or with other nationality name or nick names. It won’t take much time for them to back call back the racist person as a Pakistani or with other nationality name? when that person is actually Indian. Just because people appear different from the majority doesn’t give anyone the right to mock them. No one has the right to change someone’s National Identity for satisfying their racist mind.

Lack of awareness:

People from other parts of India know very less or have no knowledge about the Northeast India. It is such a nature blessed region with kind hearted people which everyone must be aware of. Not knowing about a region present in one’s own country is not a proud thing. People in India must be educated about all the Indian regions so that they can know more about their country and embrace every difference they come across rather than discriminating and hating others for being different.

In a diverse country like India people don’t have any typical look. The feeling of belongingness should not be taken away from the fellow countrymen. Prejudices and stereotypes shouldn’t be made based on one’s appearance. People’s appearances differ in each region of our country and despite all the differences being united, accepting and respecting people and their culture for what they are is National Integration. Why all Indians are not called as just ‘Indian’ but are specified as North Indian, South Indian or Northeast Indian?   All the soldiers in the border belong to different region, culture, tradition etc., they protect the country to ensure the safety of all Indians and not a particular region or race alone. The feeling of Oneness despite any sort of difference will only make the country prosper.

 

China’s Role In Coronavirus Outbreak

      Scientists probing the origins of the coronavirus are wrapping up a lengthy investigation in China and have found “important clues” about a Wuhan seafood market’s role in the outbreak.

Peter Daszak, a New York-based zoologist assisting the World Health Organization-sponsored mission, said he anticipates the main findings will be released before his planned Feb. 10 departure. Speaking from the central city of Wuhan, where Covid-19 mushroomed in December 2019, Daszak said the 14-member group worked with experts in China and visited key hot spots and research centers to uncover “some real clues about what happened.”

Investigators want to know how the SARS-Cov-2 virus — whose closest known relative came from bats 1,000 miles away — spread explosively in Wuhan before causing the worst contagion in more than a century. Daszak said the investigation heralds a turning point in pandemic mitigation.

“It’s the beginning of hopefully a really deep understanding of what happened so we can stop the next one,” he said over Zoom late Friday. “That’s what this is all about — trying to understand why these things emerge so we don’t continually have global economic crashes and horrific mortality while we wait for vaccines. It’s just not a tenable future.”

Worldwide, Covid-19 has caused more than 105.7 million infections and 2.3 million deaths.The WHO was asked in May to help “identify the zoonotic source of the virus and the route of introduction to the human population, including the possible role of intermediate hosts.”

Lab Theory

The lack of a clear pathway from bats to humans has stoked speculation — refuted by Daszak and many other scientists — that the virus might have escaped from the Wuhan Institute of Virology, a maximum bio-containment laboratory studying bat-borne corona viruses.Scientists visited the lab and asked Shi Zhengli, who has collected and analyzed these viruses for more than a decade, about the research and the earliest known coronavirus cases

 

Scientists probing the origins of the coronavirus are wrapping up a lengthy investigation in China and have found “important clues” about a Wuhan seafood market’s role in the outbreaks.

 

Important Clues’

Subsequent research found earlier cases among people not linked to the market, undermining that theory. Investigators looked further and found “important clues” about the market’s role, Daszak said, declining to elaborate.

“Right now, we’re trying to tease everything together,” he said. “We’ve looked at these three strands separately. Now we’re going to bring it together and see what everything tells us.”

While the food market was shuttered and cleaned almost immediately after cases were recognized, “it’s still pretty intact,” Daszak said. “People left in a hurry and they left equipment, they left utensils, they left evidence of what was going on, and that’s what we looked at.”

Scientists in China who took environmental samples inside the market identified sites where traces of SARS-CoV-2 were detected, he said. Investigators also benefited from greater understanding of Covid-19.

We know now what we didn’t know then — that for every sick case, there were others that were asymptomatic or difficult to distinguish from a cold or cough,” Daszak said. “And so it’s not unexpected that there would have been other cases other than ones that got into hospital. But how many others, when did this start? That’s the sort of thing we’re still working on.”

Viruses are passed along “convoluted rivers of emergence” and tracing that journey is complicated and will take “a really long time,” Daszak said. “What I have seen already tells me that there are some real clues about what happened, and I hope that we’ll be able to make a solid explanation of that by the end of this trip.”

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Tamil Nadu cancels Class 12 board exams

Tamil Nadu, TN +2 Public Exams 2021 have been cancelled. CM M.K. Stalin today announced the decision not to conduct Class 12 State Board Examinations in the state this year.

Tamil Nadu, TN +2 Exams 2021 for Class 12 have been cancelled. The State Government today announced its decision to cancel the Public Examinations for the State board. The government has said that a committee would be formed which would decide on the criteria on which the students would be awarded the marks.

The decision was taken in view of the still high number of cases due to the second wave of the pandemic as well as the chances of a third wave. The Chief Minister, M. K Stalin announced that the “Class 12 Board Examination for this year is cancelled.”

Tamil Nadu chief minister M K Stalin

on Saturday night announced cancellation of Class XII state board exams in view of the Covid-19 second wave in the state. The state government held discussions with parents, teachers, educationists, health experts and political parties in the past three days on conducting the exams. Though there were mixed opinion on conducting the board exams, all of them wanted to ensure the safety of the children. Covid-19 second wave is still raging in the state and health experts also predicted a third wave. However, the state government cannot vaccinate Class XII students as they are aged below 18 years,” chief minister said in a statement.

 

He said the state government was still firm on its policy of conducting Class XII admissions based on Class XII exam marks. “However, doctors say postponing the exam further will affect the students psychologically. Based on the medical advice and other recommendations, the state government is cancelling Class XII state board exams,” he said.

The state government has formed a committee headed by school education secretary Kakarla Usha to decide the modalities to award marks for admissions into higher educational institutions. Based on the committee’s report, the marks would be awarded and admissions would be based on these marks, Stalin said.

He said while the state government has cancelled the board exams in view of pandemic, it may not be feasible to conduct all India level entrance exams like NEET. “I have written a letter to the PM to cancel all entrance exams. Though the exams are cancelled in view of students’ health, we will ensure that admissions to higher educational institutions are not affected,” chief minister said them.

 

Tamil Nadu, +2 Public Exams 2021 have been cancelled. Chief minister Stalin today announced the decision not to conduct Class 12 State Board Examinations in the state this year.

 

 

Coronavirus positive for lions

Asiatic Lion seeks the comfort of a shade in its enclosure at the Nehru Zoological Park as the temperatures are rising with the onset of summer in Hyderabad on Saturday.

Eight Asiatic lions at Hyderabad’s Nehru Zoological Park have tested positive for the deadly Coronavirus, perhaps the first known case of the human infecting the feline and making them sick in India.

Highly placed sources at the zoo told The Hindu that the Centre for Cellular and Molecular Biology (CCMB) informed the forest authorities over the phone that the RT-PCR tests of these big cats were positive. However, CCMB samples were collected from the animals concerned but it will take a few days to confirm.

The CCMB will carry out detailed investigation of the samples for genome sequencing to find out if the strain came from human beings or not.

The scientist cautioned the officials to take precautions and start the medication at the earliest. The zoo authorities are likely to conduct a CT Scan of the lions to know the impact of the infection on their lungs.

The Zoo Director and Curator Dr. Siddhanand Kukrety and VVL Subhadra Devi respectively did not respond to the repeated calls by this correspondent to deny or confirm the news officially.

However, another source on the 380-acre campus, which house more than 1,500 inmates, said that results from the CCMB will be submitted to Ms. Subhadra Devi in an hour or two, and to alert them the scientists have orally told the higher-up about the results.

“Yes, the lions were tested after displaying mild symptoms. As of now they are active and are doing well,” the officer said, adding that four male and four female big cats were housed in the 40-acre Safari area.

He said that on April 24, caretakers noticed that these big cats developed symptoms like dry cough, nasal discharge, and loss of appetite and soon alerted the veterinary team. Soon, the vets took oropharyngeal swab samples of the feline and sent them to CCMB, where the scientists are likely to do genome sequencing to find out if the strain came from human beings.

Currently, NZP, one of the biggest zoos in Asia, is closed for visitors as a precautionary measure. More than two dozen staffers at the zoo were tested positive for the virus.

MENTAL HEALTH

Mental illnesses should not be thought of any differently from physical illnesses. In fact, I believe the two are inseparable. Because the whole body is connected and interwoven, the two cannot be separated. The brain is an organ just like everything else in the body and can be hurt like everything else. When the brain is ill, it is not isolated in just the brain, but instead affects the whole body and the overall wellness.

The stigma surrounding mental illness keeps people from getting the help they need to get better and causes them to hide their pain.  

Mental health is important. It impacts how we feel, think, and behave each day. Our mental health also contributes to our decision making, problem solving, how we deal with stress, and how we can relate to others in our lives. That’s why, we have to always care about our own mental health.

Current research clearly identifies the importance of mental health to learning, as well as to students‘ social and emotional development. Students who experience positive mental health are resilient and better able to learn, achieve success, and build healthy relationships.

An emotionally fit person will always feel vibrant and truly alive and will easily manage emotionally difficult situations.

Mental illness does not mean that you’re going crazy, and one should not be ashamed of it. Our society needs to change its perception of mental illness or disorder. Mental illness is the instability of one’s health, which includes changes in emotion, abnormal thinking and behaviour

Receiving help is the most important thing anyone can do for themselves. But unfortunately, the stigma keeps people from getting help.  Mental illness should not be something to be ashamed about or thought of differently. When mental illness is treated equally to other illnesses, more people will have the courage to get help and better their lives.

We need to understand that being both physically and emotionally fit is the key to success in all aspects of life. Children should be educated about the importance of mental health, which would help them in breaking the stereotypes around mental health which today’s society has created.

A Year Into the Pandemic

Remember 2020? When the whole world was threatened by a terrible virus outbreak and nation-wide lockdown had to be imposed in many countries. When the healthcare infrastructure was crumbling under the load of increasing critical patients and the only way out of this was to stay at home, wear a mask and practice social distancing?

Well, these aren’t distant memories, because 2021 has brought another wave of Covid-19, this time much more severe and deadly. The symptoms have drastically changed owing to a mutated strain, and detection of the virus has become a lot more harder. The statistics and numbers look so vague to us, until this virus reaches our doorstep and infects someone we know.

Schools and colleges have been shut down, and studying has taken a new form through virtual platforms. Some are getting the chance to spend time with their family. Some are witnessing losses in business. Some are looking for a way out of poverty, since the pandemic destroyed their only source of livelihood. Some are suffering from this deadly virus and some are losing their dear and loved ones. This pandemic taught something new to every person and brought out different emotions from everyone.

Did we ever imagine that something as microscopic as a virus could lead to so many losses in the world? That a ‘normal viral infection’ could bring humanity down to its knees, and make us realize that this is a fight for survival. That we aren’t alone on this planet, we just inhabit this planet like many others.

This lockdown allowed nature to flourish. Animals reclaimed what was theirs and the sky could finally shed its true light, free from all the smoke and chemicals. Humans were silent and earth was blooming with colors again. Birds were surprised, yet happy, for how a bustling city had been turned into a silent place.

We have been thinking that this pandemic is a new enemy that mankind has to fight against, but the real enemy, right from the start has just been us. The wars that we have started, the violence that has been ravaging across different parts of the world and is now prevalent in almost every city.

We trust the government, the people-in-charge to help make things better. To help get things back to normal. Well, I want normal too. I want that normal where people live in peace and harmony, and help the world grow. I want that normal where we co-exist with nature and give back to the planet. I want that normal where soldiers and don’t die at the border every day.

 

How can can the world go back to ‘normal’ and still possess pain and cruelty?

 

It’s disturbing that bloodshed and barbarism has become so common. We know everything happening around the world, but now choose to view these incidents politically. Accusingly. Blindly.

It’s been a year into this pandemic, but it’s been decades since we managed to bring about any changes. With such little progress and so many mistakes, it feels like time flew away and now it’s too late for us to catch it.

 

 

Covid-19

Coronaviruses (CoV) are a large family of viruses that cause illness ranging from the common cold to more severe diseases such as Middle East Respiratory Syndrome (MERS-CoV) and Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome (SARS-CoV). A novel coronavirus (nCoV) is a new strain that has not been previously identified in humans.” This means that, in general, the human population has no acquired immunity to the new coronavirus and while most people who contract the virus will experience no or mild symptoms, some people will develop severe or even life-threatening symptoms.

The coronavirus —  labeled as COVID-19 by WHO — was first identified in the city of Wuhan in the Hubei province of China in December. Since it first emerged in China, COVID-19 has spread around the world and has now been identified in at least 157 countries. Researchers suspect the virus originated in an animal population – likely bats – and was transferred to humans via a secondary source. Symptoms include respiratory issues, fever, cough, shortness of breath and breathing difficulties. In more severe cases, infection can cause pneumonia, severe acute respiratory syndrome, kidney failure, and can even be fatal.

How can you prevent the spread of coronavirus and avoid infection? WHO recommends washing your hands regularly; covering your mouth and nose when coughing and sneezing; and cooking meat and eggs thoroughly. Most officials are recommending that people with symptoms stay home and self-isolate to avoid spreading the virus to others. In many countries, governments and medical communities have advised all people – with or without symptoms – to stay home and avoid large gatherings to prevent the spread of the disease, and some countries are temporarily shutting down schools and universities, as well as other facilities and restricting travel.

These measures are part of a widespread effort to slow and reduce the spread of the virus so that healthcare systems can provide thorough treatment and allow researchers, medical professionals, and government officials time to develop treatments and implement public health protocols. To best “flatten the curve” — a graphical representation of reducing the exponential spread of the virus — officials are urging people to stay at home.

Ocean Acidification: A Threat to Marine life

“No aquarium, no tank in a marine land, however spacious it may be, can begin to duplicate the conditions of the sea. And no dolphin who inhabits one of those aquariums or one of those aquariums or one those marine lands can be considered as normal”- Jacques Yves Cousteau

The ocean is known to absorb about 30 percent of the carbon dioxide present in the atmosphere. The carbon dioxide released in the atmosphere comes from various sources naturally for example respiration plants and animals, weathering of carbonate rocks, etc. However, various human activities are also there which are responsible for increased carbon dioxide emission in the atmosphere such as burning fossil fuel and forests and deforestation.

Now when the levels of atmospheric CO2 increase, the amounts of CO2 absorbed by the ocean also increases. It has been observed that since the advent of the industrial revolution, due to human activities the concentration of CO2 has been increased in the oceans and seas. 

What is ocean Acidification exactly?

According to the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, ocean acidification refers to a reduction in the pH of the ocean over an extended period, caused primarily by the uptake of carbon dioxide from the atmosphere.

After the industrial revolution, studies show that the pH of the ocean water has fallen by 0.1 pH units which equivalent to approximately a 30 percent increase in acidity.

This increased amount of carbon dioxide which is absorbed by the sea and ocean results in the occurrence of series of a chemical reactions. This chemical reaction releases a high amount of hydrogen ion concentration. When the concentration of hydrogen ion (H+) increases, the acidity of seawater increases, and carbonate ions (HCO3­­­-) decreases. 

How does ocean acidification affect marine life? 

Carbonate ions are crucial building blocks of seashells and coral skeleton. When the carbonate ions in seawater decrease, the ability to build and maintain these shells and corals also decreases and calcifying becomes difficult for shell-builder organisms like oysters, sea urchins, deep-sea corals and calcareous planktons as the shells starts to dissolve due to the acidity. 

The non-calcifying organisms are also affected. Certain fishes are not able to detect their predators in more acidic water. This disturbs the prey-predator population which in turn disturbs the ecology.

The pteropods commonly known as ‘sea butterflies’ are tiny sea snails about the size of a pea. Like every other organism, these pteropods are also an important part of the food chain and are eaten by wide-ranging organisms from krill to whales. When the shells of these pteropods start to dissolve due to acidity, this imposes a threat to other marine life too as they are dependent on these pteropods for nutrition.

A report by the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change finds that 99 percent of the world’s warm-water coral reefs could disappear if global average temperatures rise 2°C or more above pre-industrial levels.

Various species of diatoms lose their content of biogenic silica as a result of ocean acidification.

How to limit ocean acidification?

The increased amounts of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere are changing the chemistry of the ocean, making it more and more acidic and harming shellfish and other marine life.

The only way to reduce ocean acidification is to act on climate change. The need of the hour is to implement solutions to reduce the use and burning of fossil fuels. The marine ecosystems can only be saved if activities like fossil fuel burning, forest fires, and deforestation are controlled.

Use of Biotechnology in Agriculture

Biotechnology is the application based on various scientific techniques which are used to alter and improve species of plants, animals, and microorganisms and enhance their commercial value.

When the applications biotechnology is used in the field of agriculture its is called Agricultural Biotechnology. Originally agricultural biotechnology came into the picture when the importance of selection and breeding of organisms was known to people. An example of traditional agricultural biotechnology is the development of disease-resistant varieties of wheat made by cross-breeding different types of wheat varieties until the desired disease-resistant wheat variety was found.

 

Genetic engineering and GMOs

When the field of molecular biology advanced in the 1970s, scientists found that different genetic materials found in different organisms like DNA and RNA can be altered. So, it was observed that when scientists altered the chemistry of genetic material (DNA/RNA) and transferred it into a host organism, the desired product was obtained or the phenotype of the organism changed. This technique is called genetic engineering. Today this technology has a place where scientists can obtain different genes from different organisms like plants, animals, bacteria, viruses, or fungi and transfer those genes to another organism.

The primary use of biotechnology in agriculture is to increase food production through genetically engineered crop-based agriculture. But the question is food production can be increased with help of agrochemicals (fertilizers and pesticides) then why employ genetic engineering?

For farmers in the developing world agrochemicals are often too expensive and also the existing varieties are not able to produce high yield through conventional breeding. Therefore, genetic engineering is the way by which maximum yield can be produced.

Now, what are GMOs? Well, GMOs are simply the product of genetic engineering. Plants, bacteria, fungi, and animals whose genes have been altered to make them more useful are called Genetically Modified Organisms (GMO).

What are the advantages of GMOs in agriculture?

1. Enhanced tolerance

Crops are made more tolerant to abiotic stresses such as drought, cold, heat, acidity, salinity, etc.

2. Reduced reliance on agrochemicals

Plants are made in such a way that the reliance on chemical pesticides is reduced. This can be done by creating pest-resistant crops. One of the examples of pest-resistant plants is Bt cotton. 

3. Reduced post-harvest loss

The gas hormone called ethylene is involved in the regulation of fruit ripening. This ripening can be slowed down by blocking or reducing ethylene production. This gives the fruits a longer-shelf life and the chances of spoilage are reduced.

4. Nutrient quality

The nutritional value of food is enhanced using GMOs. These are produced by introducing genes involved in the metabolism of vitamins, minerals, and amino acids. One of the very renowned examples will be of the ‘Golden rice’ which is enriched in pro-vitamin.

 There are many other examples of application plant genetic engineering which are:

  • Disease resistant plants

  • Resistance to fungal and bacterial infections

  • Improved seed protein quality

  • Molecular farming

  • Edible vaccines 

  • Development of blue roses

  • Development of tear-less onions, caffeine-free coffee, and low nicotine tobacco.

 

Biosafety

GM crops are rapidly becoming a part of agriculture throughout the world because of their contribution to increasing crop productivity and global food, feed, and fibre security. However, there are some issues related to the public acceptance of transgenic crops.

The safety of GM crops cannot be fully ensured for human and animal consumption as GM food may cause allergenicity and toxicity. 

The effect which GM crops can have on the environment and biodiversity is a question. Moreover, GM crops can affect non-target and beneficial insects or microbes.

There can be cases in which the transgene may escape through pollen to related plant species and may cause the development of superweed.

The GM crops may lead to a change in the evolutionary pattern.

 

Nevertheless, proper assessment of the risks associated with transgenics for plants is important before they are released. Foods made from GMOs must be shown safe or safer than their traditional counterparts before they are released for public use. In general, what scientist believe is that genetic engineering is the ‘technology that can efficiently solve various human problems, especially related to hunger and disease,

Agriculture

Agriculture

Agriculture plays a crucial role in the entire life of a given economy . Agriculture is the backbone of the economic system of a given country.In addition to providing food and raw material agricultural also provide employment opportunities to a very large percentage of the population .The main source of raw material to major industries such as cotton and jute fibre.as well as non-edible oils in agriculture . moreover many other industries such as processing of fruits as well as vegetables and rice husking get their raw material for agriculture . agriculture also provide wood for construction and paper industry.

Agriculture plays a significant role to both human and economy of a nation this to say it is the backbone of a nation in addition to providing food and raw material it also provides employment opportunities to very large percentage of the population . Agriculture is important not only for supply food but also for the provision of Raw material.Agricultue is the backbone of economic system in given country.

The Difference Between Yes and No

The words “yes” and “no” get used in comparison to each other so often that it feels like they carry equal weight in conversation. In reality, they are not just opposite in meaning, but of entirely different magnitudes in commitment.

When you say no, you are only saying no to one option. When you say yes, you are saying no to every other option.

I like how the economist Tim Harford put it, “Every time we say yes to a request, we are also saying no to anything else we might accomplish with the time.” Once you have committed to something, you have already decided how that future block of time will be spent.

In other words, saying no saves you time in the future. Saying yes costs you time in the future. No is a form of time credit. You retain the ability to spend your future time however you want. Yes is a form of time debt. You have to pay back your commitment at some point.

No is a decision. Yes is a responsibility.

“WAYS OF MAINTAINING BRAIN HEALTH AT EVERY AGE “

“WAYS OF MAINTAINING BRAIN HEALTH AT EVERY AGE ”

The mind is the most precious organ of the body that needs much care. It should not be wasted rather maintaining its proper health must be the necessary part. The brain is the most important part in comparison to other organs because all other parts are controlled by the brain and it even keeps working while you are asleep. Due to this fact, the brain’s extraordinary working requires nutritional support and also extra care for the maintenance. Here are some ways of maintaining brain health to boost the brain’s cognitive functioning and keep it healthy:

Exercise daily

One who does daily exercise always has greater brain volume and the capability of better thinking and memory skills. According to the research, the people who vigorously exercise are 10 years younger than their age. It happens because of the increase of blood flow to the brain that occurs due to physical activities. Exercise also helps in generating new neurons in the brain area where memory and learning get stored and which loses its capacity as life progresses. If exercise is started from early life – like from the teenage – one remains younger and healthy eve in the old life. The research done so far shows many benefits of exercise for the brain.

Meditation

Meditation is the best way to calm the mind also it helps from all the perspectives of psychologically. It controls the fear and feeling of anxiety. Moreover, meditation helps when the brain is thinking negatively and the mind goes from thought to thought that is quite distressing. To have a positive approach to life and let the brain work in the right direction do daily meditation and yoga. This helps in keeping the brain work perfectly and the concentration level increases too.

Take sound sleep

The brain keeps on working even while sleeping. It keeps on bringing back memories and wanders into unconscious thoughts. Taking less sleep or sleep deprivation always results in reducing mental health. It worsens the cognitive function and decreases the level of learning and creating thinking. At least 6-8 hours of sleep must be taken to keep the brain healthy. Sleep deprivation and insomnia are very destructive and those who remain active and concentrated are those with fresh minds and sound sleep.

Practice creativity before sleeping

Practicing some creatively is also among ways of maintaining brain health. If you have writing skills then do write something or if you can paint, take a brush and canvas, and make something creative that comes in mind but, it should be done before going to bed because it yields great results. Complete your work and then take a sound sleep and see the difference when you wake up the next morning.

Take care of your brain by these two quick steps

Quit smoking: Quitting smoking reduces the risk of blood vessel diseases and chances of brain damage reduce.

Manage stress or depression: Simple but consistent stress leads to depression and depression becomes a disorder that leads to brain damage. Try to be relaxed and positive in every condition. Staying positive will reduce the level of stress and brain nerves will remain healthy.

“MOST IMPORTANT MEDICAL EQUIPMENT IN HOSPITALS”

“MOST IMPORTANT MEDICAL EQUIPMENT IN HOSPITALS”

 

Evolution in technology is helping mankind in every walk of life. The latest technology in the medical field has revolutionized the whole healthcare system. These new medical technologies guarantee better living standards by ensuring the best health of the human being. They help doctors in diagnosing an ailment and provide them with new important medical equipment to treat patients better.Anyone at any time can have a health issue like an accident, an injury, or disease. The treatment of a disease or health problems on time through the use of proper and latest medical technology/equipment can reduce the pain and suffering. Advanced medical equipment is therefore crucial in the treatment of the patients in the hospitals.The emergency department and all departments of the hospital should be equipped with all the necessary medical equipment to treat the patients on time like electronic monitoring systems, needles scissors and many other devices.The devices in hospitals should be latest and precise as any flaw in the device is not bearable. Also, to meet the standards of health, all medical tools or equipment should be sterilized after each use. Under the importance of the medical equipment, the most common medical equipment is briefly introduced here as the importance of specialized equipment in the health care industry can’t be neglected.

 

MEDICAL VENTILATORS:

Medical ventilators help the human body to take breathe as these devices make possible to move breathable air in and out of the lungs. This machine ensures an equal supply of oxygen in the whole human body. This device is compulsory for the intensive care unit of the hospital.

DEFIBRILLATORS:

Defibrillators are used in life-threatening circumstances. The most common life-threating circumstances are cardiac arrhythmias or tachycardia. Defibrillators play an essential role to restore the rhythm of the heart or it can be said that it maintains the heart rate of the human body. Thus, this medical equipment saves one’s life. Hence, it’s the most essential tool for the hospitals so hospitals should maintain the backup of this medical tool.

ECG MACHINES:

ECG machines monitor the overall rhythm of the heart in the human body. It records the electrical activity of the heart for a specific period. Therefore, doctors or health care providers will be able to observe the stability of the heart in the human body. Therefore, ECG machines are among the most important medical equipment in a hospital.

DIALYSIS MACHINES:

Dialysis machines are used to remove the extra toxins from the blood. People who have damaged kidneys have to go through the process of dialysis on a regular basis. This dialysis process is known as renal replacement therapy and its only possible through dialysis machines.

STERILIZERS: 

Sterilizers are most essential medical equipment as it maintains the hygienic condition in the hospitals. Sterilizers kill all the microbes. The most common form of microbes are fungi, bacteria, viruses, and spores. These microbes may affect the disease in the human body or even cause an infection in the human body. So, the use of sterilizers keeps the medical equipment or tools clean and keeps the human body away from germs.

 

” SOMETIMES MACHINES ALSO WORK LIKE HUMAN “

World Environment Day

World Environment Day Essay: The environment provides us with essential resources to sustain life on Earth. All living things, including water, air, soil, and vegetation form the environment. However, there has been an increase in the contamination and pollution of these precious resources. Trees cut down; soil erosion occurs, water bodies, and the air filled with pollutants. It is essential to spread awareness and preserve such resources for the present and future generations.

World Environment Day is one such initiative towards protecting the environment and celebrated across the globe. This essay is to provide information as well as spread awareness on this important day.

Violence Against Doctors

“Hands that heal, should not bleed.’

2021 has brought with it a second wave of Covid-19 in India. People with underlying comorbidities are especially at risk, and stringent lockdown rules have been put in place in all high risk areas. The healthcare infrastructure has been crumbling under the critical load of patients, and hotels and auditoriums have been converted into isolation areas and vaccination centers.

Throughout all this, doctors have been working tirelessly day and night to save the people of India. Doctors have put themselves at risk to look after critical patients and make sure every human being has an equal and fair chance at survival. And this is what some people of India do. Attack the very healthcare professionals that are trying to save them.

A recent incident in Assam shook the entire medical fraternity.  A doctor at a coronavirus facility in Assam’s Hojai, around 140 kms from Guwahati, was mercilessly punched, kicked, and pounded with metal trash cans and bricks, by the relatives of a Covid patient who had died, allegedly due to oxygen shortage. Locals also assaulted the doctor who is now hospitalized but stable.

In another incident in India, a 50 year old doctor was attacked by four people following the death of his 6 year old dengue patient. In Mumbai, a female resident doctor attached to KEM was allegedly abused by the kin of the patient after the 18 year old died due to cardiac arrest in the hospital.

The very profession that has helped India rise from the shadows of the pandemic, is now in a very dark place. The Indian Medical Association has reported that 75% of doctors face verbal or physical abuse in hospital premises and fear of violence was the most common stress factor in 43% of the doctors.  Highest number of violence cases were reported in emergency care and 70% of the acts were initiated by the patient’s relatives. In the last 5 years, around 670 cases have been registered across the country pertaining to violence against doctors.

Imagine. After 5 years of studying, 3 years of specialization and 3 more years of super specializations, After countless of nights of studying and putting in their blood, sweat and tears, doctors go back home after being beaten up in the hospital or being mentally or verbally abused or threatened. No human being, let alone a doctor should go through anything of this sort. There are so many things that can be done to prevent this and we need to start acting now.

Security. Changing the behavior and mentality of those harming doctors will take a long time. Meanwhile, this is one of the first measures that the state or district should implement. Unfortunately, we have come to the stage where healthcare professionals feel safe and are safe only when there is proper security in place in hospitals and care centers.

Did you know that only 1.5% of the total GDP (Gross Domestic Product) goes into the healthcare sector of our country. If there is not enough money to buy medical equipment, build better infrastructure and increase the number of beds in the hospital, how will the doctors be able to treat the patient?

Media and the stereotype made my people about doctors. In many interviews across states, people have described doctors as ‘looters’ or people who just want to gain money. We need to understand one thing. Only those people enter the medical field who are compassionate, considerate, hardworking and have an inner passion for helping people. ‘Minting money’ is a general term associated with doctors in movies, plays and in short, the media. This needs to change as soon as possible.

Imagine, everyday, all medical students of this country wake up to such headlines in the newspaper. That their future profession is being painted red by the very people they want to serve. What does this do to their mental state? Doctors are being beaten up, attacked with chairs and medical equipment. Is this some kind of joke?

There were times when medical profession was considered to be noble. People respected doctors and had faith in them. But when doctors started being proclaimed as God, that’s when the line was crossed. That’s when people started thinking, doctors can cure us of any ailment.  We need to create awareness about the current incidents happening in the country, and we need change, as soon as possible.

Mental Health

The Peer pressure of society usually affect all of us. The Society thinks their right to judge somebody on the basis of their physical appearance, intelligence, choices and opinions. Judgement is the harsh reality of Indian society. At some point, Everybody have to face the repercussions of being judged at every decision we take. It build more stress and anxiety in our normal day to day life. Due to ongoing competition, Everyone tries to stay ahead from each other in terms of social and financial status. This race takes away the peace within us which motivates us on doing good things in our life.
Everyone says, Life is a race but it is your choice to run with everybody and lose your inner peace or to stay calm in the middle of chaos and handle everything with calm and maturity. In 21st century, Mental health is a stigma of which not many people are comfortable talking about. People recommend to go and see a doctor when any physical damage happen on the body. But Nobody cares, When you are broken from inside. Just like you go to the doctor for physical wounds, It is very important to take a appointment with your doctor to discuss about any problem related to Mental health.
In 2021 due to lockdown, Life has taken a serious turn which made us insecure about our future. Many people have lost their loved ones due to the pandemic. The students are unable to get the clarity about what is going to happen next and It creates a lot of panic in youngster’s mind. The thoughts like suicide and harming ourself often comes in our mind. Only way to deal with such problems is to go to a Psychologist and attend some session. Now a days, There are so many influencer and motivational speakers who provide online session for student suffering from depression.
Many cases of suicide have been noticed due to Lockdown. Most of the cases is due to depression and anxiety. It is time when everybody feels lonely and needs somebody to support and motivate them. Government should start campaign to spread awareness regarding dealing with mental issues and depression. It can surely help every individual to overcome from the fear of being alone. Life is hard and It takes a lot of courage to live it under such harsh circumstance. It doesn’t mean that Suicide can only be a solution of it.
If you every feel lonely, try to share your emotions with the people you are most comfortable with. Try to be busy as no such thoughts can come in your mind. Always try to do those activities which makes you feel happy . Mental health should be our prime focus to deal with and try to do some meditation and yoga. It keeps us more focused in reaching our goals in life.

Global Warming

Global warming refers to the heating up of the Earth climate due to the activities of the human beings . Some of such devastating activities are emission of carbon dioxide , fossil fuels , and other green house gases into the environment .

The long term effects of global warming are as follows :

Melting of ice = It is not something new . It is a topic which is very familiar to all of us . Melting of ice has been consistent since past few years .

This activity is not coming to an end in the past few years . In this year only the largest glacier of the world in Antarctica has come off .

Abrupt Changes In Temperature = Now a days floods , cyclones , Tsunamis are something which seem to be a bit common . There is nothing new in them .

This year only two cyclones came in India which caused immense destruction is some parts of the country . Whatever we give to the nature , the nature will revert the same back to us .

Plants and Animals = Now a days regularly some or the other species of animals are getting extinct . A few days early only the white rhino became extinct . The last such beast ended .

The life of such animals as well as plants is getting tremendously affected by the change in the the temperature caused by primarily the activities of the human beings .

 

So finally these were the effects of global warming caused by the activities of all  of us .We still have to undo the bad deeds done by all of us in the past before nature takes more revenge in a further terrifying way from us . 

The ‘Delta variant’

The Covid19 variant B.1.617.2, was first detected in India. It is known as the ‘Delta variant’ which transmits faster and is more infectious than the Alpha variant (B.1.617.1 strain) which was first spotted in Kent- UK. The WHO (World Health Organization) categorized it as a Variant of Concern (VOC).

According to the WHO, the strain is found in 62 countries. It is becoming the dominant variant in several countries. The second wave in India, which caused the devastation is because of this variant.

Why B.1.617.2 is a VOC?

  • This variant has 12 mutations in its spike protein compared to the initial strain that broke out in Wuhan.
  • More ACE2 enzymes appears to be assisting the entry of coronaviruses around the mutations L452R and T478K that characterized the variant.
  • The vaccines are only 33% effective against symptomatic disease from B.1.617.2 variant 3 weeks after the 1st dose but were 50% effective against B.1.1.7.

Delta variant’s resistance to the vaccine is high. The effectiveness of vaccine for this variant after the second dose is higher, but it is low for delta while comparing to the Alpha. Most of the cases reporting are people who aren’t vaccinated, 2 doses of the vaccine could possibly prevent from getting infected. In case of infection despite having vaccinated, it would reduce the level of infection caused by the virus.

 

 

 

Importance of mental health

         Mental health includes our emotional, psychological, and social well-being. It affects how we think, feel, and act. It also helps determine how we handle stress, relate to others, and make healthy choices. Mental health is important at every stage of life, from childhood and adolescence through adulthood.

      Physical discomfort or illness causes the mind to be upset and this is but natural as physical pain is reflected in the thoughts produced in the mind. On your physical state depending on your mental state? This is one way of explaining the nature of mental health; this is one way of explaining the intimate mind-body relationship. It is pretty difficult to conquer illness through mental strength, for; the body-mind relationship is as intimate as the mind has a place in the body. The mutual influence of the body and the mind is a natural phenomenon. It should be understood that while the human body is substantive and perceivable by the senses the mind is just a concept, a stream of consciousness.

Mental health is sometimes unrelated to physical ailments. The health of the mind may rarely be a separate subject of study unrelated to the physique as psychoactive thoughts influence the mind when psychoanalysis comes in handy. Delusions, exaggerations, weird imagination, day-dreams, nightmares etc. aggravate the illness of the mind, and psychodrama, a form of psychotherapy in which patients act out events from the past, may be ideal in restoring a patient with mental illness to normalcy.

Some of the youth of our day spoil their mental health by getting addicted to drugs and liquor. Under the influence of the drugs and liquor they lose their normalcy. They should realise that they should avoid bad habits. They should know that courage is their strength. Youngsters should develop a tendency to face life with an optimistic outlook and should never be neurotic. They should develop sound mental health by training themselves to be calm, collected, resolute and self-confident. As you grow your self-confidence and resoluteness should grow with you and you should be a force to reckon with.

There is no general agreement on what constitutes sound mental health. In fact, it is easier to certify someone as mentally unhealthy as healthy. If someone needs psychiatric help to overcome his problems he is said to be mentally unhealthy.

Sound mental health is generally the result of happiness. Happiness arises out of our achievements. We attempt to do something difficult. If we achieve success in doing it we are happy and consequently we are in sound mental health. Sound mental health is caused by our success in our profession, by happiness in the family atmosphere, by keeping our relationship with outsiders sound and healthy.

The mental health of the students will be sound if they do well in their examinations and feel happy. The mental health of the students will be sound if they have good relationship with their teachers. The mental health of the students will be sound if their parents show them much love and encourage them, if they have good relationship with their brothers, sisters and friends.

 

 

 

 

 

New Education policy

New Education policy

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

A New National Education policy 2020 – 2021 to provide an overarching vision and comprehensive framework for both school and higher education across the country. The new NEP, approved by the Cabinet, has not been presented in Parliament. It is the first to be formulated by a Bharatiya Janata Party government and the first in the 21st century. It is only a policy, not a law; implementation of its proposals depends on further regulations by both States and the Centre as education is a concurrent subject.

The National Foundational Literacy and Numeracy Mission which is to be implemented by 2025 will be launched by the end of this year, said Mr. Khare. The National Council of Educational Research and Training will introduce the curricular framework for the new school structure, including early childhood care, by the next academic year. The Ministry feels that an increase in government funding of education to will be sufficient to cover the financial implications of the NEP. However, such an increase in funding has been proposed but not achieved for the last half-century, point out experts. The proposal to make the mother tongue the medium of instruction till Class 5, which has stirred up the fiercest debates, is dependent on State governments, according to the Education Minister, who would not even confirm that the policy will be implemented by centrally run schools.

In the New National Education policy in Benefits of 2020- 2021 announced by the Ministry of Human Resource Development sets for itself the goal of transforming the system to meet the needs of 21st Century India. In a federal system, any educational reform can be implemented only with support from the States, and the Centre has the giant task of building a consensus on the many ambitious plans. The policy, inter alia, aims to eliminate problems of pedagogy, structural inequities, access asymmetries and rampant commercialisation. The NEP 2020 is the first omnibus policy after the one issued in 1986, and it has to contend with multiple crises in the system. It is no secret that primary schools record shockingly poor literacy and numeracy outcomes, dropout levels in middle and secondary schools are significant, and the higher education system has generally failed to meet the aspirations for multi-disciplinary programmers. In structural terms, the NEP’s measures to introduce early childhood education from age school board examinations twice a year to help improve performance, move away from rote learning, raise mathematical skills for everyone, shift to a four year undergraduate college degree system, and create a Higher Education Commission of India represent major changes.

There are some good elements to the NEP 2020- 2021 that will generate little friction, and need only adequate resourcing. Provision of an energy-filled breakfast, in addition to the nutritious mid-day meal, to help children achieve better learning outcomes, is one. Creation of ‘inclusion funds’ to help socially and educationally disadvantaged children pursue education is another. Where the policy fails to show rigour, however, is on universalisation of access, both in schools and higher education; the Right to Education needs specific measures to succeed. Moreover, fee regulations exist in some States even now, but the regulatory process is unable to rein in profiteering in the form of unaccounted donations. The idea of a National Higher Education

Regulatory Council as an apex control organisation is bound to be resented by States. Similarly, a national body for aptitude tests would have to convince the States of its merits. Among the many imperatives, the deadline to achieve universal literacy and numeracy by 2025 should be a top priority as a goal that will crucially determine progress at higher levels. In new National Education policy .

CHILD LABOUR

Childhood is the best and happiest time of everyone’s life, when they learn the fundamentals of life from their parents, loved ones, and environment.

Child labour is any service performed by children during their childhood in any sector. This is due to a lack of resources for survival, the parents’ irresponsibility, or the owner’s lack of resources to boost their earnings on low-risk investments. Childhood is the birthright of everyone, which he should live under the love and care of his parents, but this illegal act of child labour forces a child to live life like a grown-up.

Child labour interferes with the proper growth and development of children in all aspects, mentally, physically, socially and intellectually. Child labour keeps a child away from all the benefits of childhood, the happiest and memorable period of all life is spent working. This interferes with the ability to attend regular school which makes them socially dangerous and harmful citizens of the country. Child labour has become one of the biggest social issues in India that need to be resolved frequently.

Child labour is very common in many developing countries due to the high level of poverty and the existence of schooling opportunities for children. The main causes of child labour worldwide are poverty, parents, society, low wages, unemployment, poor living standards and understanding, social injustice, lack of schools, backwardness, ineffective laws which are directly affecting the development of the country.

Child labour is contaminating the lives of many precious children every day. It is a high level of illegal act for which one should be punished but this is happening side by side due to ineffective rules and regulations.

Children are the power of any nation, Protecting children from child labour is the responsibility of every citizen living in the country.

Children create a prosperous future for any developing country, therefore, they are the major responsibility of all adult citizens and should not be used in negative ways.

They should get a fair chance to grow and develop within the happy atmosphere of family and school.

Prime Minister speech about Environmental day

Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Saturday released the ‘Report of the Expert Committee on Road Map for ethanol blending in India 2020-2025’ at an event organised to mark World Environment Day.

Today, on the occasion of World Environment Day, India has taken another big step. A detailed roadmap for the development of the ethanol sector has just been released,” said PM Modi in his address to the nation. “Until 7-8 years ago, ethanol was rarely discussed in country, ” he also said, adding, “now ethanol has become one of the major priorities of 21st century India.”

“The focus on ethanol is having a better impact on the environment as well as on the lives of farmers. Today we have resolved to meet the target of 20 percent ethanol blending in petrol by 2025,” PM Modi added.Highlighting the central government’s effort for sustainable development, PM Modi said, “Our capacity for renewable energy has increased by more than 250 per cent in 6-7 years.” “India is today in the top-5 countries of the world in terms of installed renewable energy capacity… In this too, the capacity of solar energy has increased by about 15 times in the last 6 years,” he added.

PM Modi, further said India has chosen a path where ‘Economy and Ecology both can go together and can move forward.” “Be the International Solar Alliance, realizing the vision of One Sun, One World, One Grid, or the Coalition for Disaster Resilient Infrastructure initiative, India is moving ahead with a big global vision.”

“India is setting an example in front of the world that when it comes to protecting the environment, it is not necessary to block development works while doing so,” he also said.

PM Modi also launched an ambitious E-100 pilot project for the production and distribution of ethanol across the country at three locations in Pune.

At the start of the event, PM Modi also interacted with farmers and discussed their experience as enablers under the Ethanol Blended Petrol and Compressed Biogas Programmes

The virtual event was organised by the Union ministry of petroleum and natural gas in collaboration with the ministry of environment, forest and climate change. Union ministers Dharmendra Pradhan, Prakash Javadekar and Nitin Gadkari were also present at the launch event.

To commemorate the World Environment Day, the government is releasing the E-20 notification that will allow oil companies to sell 20% ethanol blended petrol from April 1, 2023, and BIS specifications for higher ethanol blends E12 and E15.

Every year on June 5, people around the world observe World Environment Day to raise awareness about the importance of nature and to inspire positive change towards the environment. The theme of this year’s World Environment Day is ‘Reimagine. Recreate. Restore’ as 2021 marks the beginning of the United Nations Decade on Ecosystem Restoration. Pakistan is the global host for the day to highlight the importance of ecosystem restoration this year

IS INDIA PREPARED FOR THE THIRD WAVE ?

Immunity, developed after the first wave, is not widespread. The number of people who remained unaffected because of cautionary steps taken in the first step may have been large. Immunity can also fade. Someone infected earlier can get reinfected but we know that the protection is still very high after eight months.

 In 2019, when the virus emerged, it was a generalist. It could infect many mammals and was not a tightly human-adaptive virus. The lineage continued for a long period. In the second phase, which started in October 2020, the virus became fitter. “It was a key that could fit many locks,” the expert said adding that with the increase in the transmission, the key became more refined.

Safe Girls

It’s always better to view a situation in its totality. Many times when we look at a situation, we tend to view only a part of it because we are already biased in our approach. Safety of girls and women in India is a grave issue. To tackle the problem, a multi-thronged tactics is required. Skewed sex-ratio, ‘commodification’ of the female body through media and other popular means, patriarchal mind-set, lax justice system etc are some of the reasons why there is apparently an increase in incidents of assault on girls and women.

First and foremost, exemplary punishment would be the best method of sending the correct message throughout the society. Potential criminals will be deterred once they see that justice is done and it is done within a time framework.

Secondly, skewed sex ratio is bound to bring crimes into picture. India needs to be educated that girls should be allowed to live. Killing girls in the womb must be stopped. Again, exemplary punishment to the offenders will go a long way in improving the situation.

Advertisements, films, television serials need to portray women as human beings and not just as sex-agents. Women and girls, like all other human beings, exist for many things apart from satisfying and fulfilling needs of the body.  Presently, female element is being used for ‘peppering’ the show, the advertisement or the film. It settles the female with the concept of ‘masala’ in our minds. These along with patriarchal brining up give a kind of licence to the criminal’s mind to venture into the territory of violence

ARE E-BOOKS STILL TRENDING ?

Do you prefer reading an e-book or a physical version? It might be a surprise, but for most people, old school print on paper still wins.

Publishers of books in all formats made almost $26 billion in revenue last year in the U.S., with print making up $22.6 billion and e-books taking $2.04 billion, according to the Association of American Publishers’ annual report 2019. Those figures include trade and educational books, as well as fiction.

While digital media has disrupted other industries such as news publishing and the music business, people still love to own physical books, according to Meryl Halls, managing director of the Booksellers’ Association in the U.K.

“I think the e-book bubble has burst somewhat, sales are flattening off, I think the physical object is very appealing. Publishers are producing incredibly gorgeous books, so the cover designs are often gorgeous, they’re beautiful objects,” she told CNBC.

People love to display what they’ve read, she added. “The book lover loves to have a record of what they’ve read, and it’s about signaling to the rest of the world. It’s about decorating your home, it’s about collecting, I guess, because people are completists aren’t they, they want to have that to indicate about themselves.”

Genres that do well in print include nature, cookery and children’s books, while people prefer to read crime, romantic novels and thrillers via e-reader, according to Nielsen Book International.

It’s more than a decade since Amazon launched the Kindle, and for Halls, there is also a hunger for information and a desire to escape the screen. “It’s partly the political landscape, people are looking for escape, but they are also looking for information. So, they are coming to print for a whole, quite a complex mess of reasons and I think … it’s harder to have an emotional relationship with what you’re reading if it’s on an e-reader.”

Even animals are better than humans

I think every pet owner, or a self-proclaimed animal lover will agree to the fact that we don’t need an excuse to have the love that we feel for our animal friends, they are SIMPLY the best in all of our lives.


The Animals Will Save Your Life. All of these beautiful things, and animals can see things that people don’t notice … many times, the animals, and entire families are on board, warn them that something isn’t right, or if it is an intruder, in a diabetic coma on a house on fire, a gas leak, or even cancer.


Our pets are, and this is an amazing way to never stop, and with the support of the us, and make us laugh when we need it the most. I know for sure is that she’s just been awesome, and don’t do it on purpose…but for his eccentric antics, we will always make us laugh even when we don’t feel like it!
Pets are not. They don’t betray the faith or stab you in the back.

They are not searching for the perfect fairy tale, a novel, they are mentally unstable, and when they find out that it was all an illusion.

The animals are not hungry for material things.

They have only two genders, and don’t kid yourself that there is more to them.

They don’t know anything about, jealousy, or a one.

They do not have a religion at all. They are not willing to kill or be killed in front of an imaginary character, that no one can see.

They don’t have to fight.

They will not have to commit horrific acts of violence. When a pack of wolves, the traces of a deer, to the point of exhaustion and tears in pieces alive, but it seems cruel, but they do so only in order to survive. It’s not like it 4 times in a 4-year-old white South African girl, with a table and raped her while her parents are all dead on the ground. There must be a better to tear a rabbit into pieces to feed to the chickens, it is not the same as the 20 and the men who took part in the cutting off of the head of a Norwegian girl who, after he has raped her, and then posted a video of her with her parents.

They live in harmony with their surroundings. And, except in the cases where they have been put on the wrong locations, or other actions by the people, without causing any damage.

Except when there is an imbalance in nature that may be caused as a result of human intervention, not to reproduce it in such great numbers that they will destroy their own environment. They will be in proportion to the risk to the continuation of life as we know it today.

They don’t know anything about the past or the future, and they will do their best to live in the moment, and they don’t make yourself sick with worry over the events of which they may not be able to change it.

They’re not looking for the answers to drugs , gambling, or other unhealthy addictions.

Except when they are closed, or are in non-natural conditions, they are not repulsively fat.

Each and every class, from the octopus, to the horse, is a very attractive age. They will give up their life for their descendants, as well as each individual species will make all reasonable efforts to ensure that their child has a healthy maturity. No one uses it or sells it , the joke , ridicule, or the like to starve on their own.

Many of them are beautiful. Irbis, horses, cheetahs, gazelles, hummingbirds, to start with. There is no doubt that the homo sapiens species may also have been a beautiful animal, but it is only in the prime of his life, and fitness. You just have to look around the mall to find out the truth about it.

I fully understand that the human race is one of nature’s extreme experiments, which do not work. The study shows that the danger of extinction is the fate of every kind. We can be our own death, to nature, to work, and I don’t think that’s the planet earth and the creatures that we have shared with the loss of his tears.

 

The Naomi Osaka Story

This was not the first time when a sport personality disclosed his or her weakness on social media . You must be wondering what’s about Naomi Osaka . So she recently disclosed about her weakness .

She requested the French Tennis Federation that she did not wanted to attend the press conference after the tennis match . the thing is she was suffering from anxiety issues , stress , mental health issues .

Other sports persons have also recently disclosed about their weakness and the health problems that they were facing in the past . Be it Priyanka Chopra , or be it any other star from any other industry .

The result is that they were supported by millions of fans all around the globe . they are being accepted in the way they are and not in the their way that their fans want them to act like .

The Naomi Osaka story was not the same like others . She enjoyed the support of the fans from all around the world but not from the French Tennis Federation . She was removed from the upcoming matches of the tennis tournament .

Not only this but also a fine of 15000 dollars was imposed on her . It is not a very hefty amount for her and she can afford it easily because she is the only one on the highest paid sports person on this planet .

But this is not the point . The point is that it it wrong that she is not supported by the French Tennis Federation . She suffers from such anxiety and mental issues . She has been seen wearing headphone which playing often so as to avoid anxiety .

What point is the Federation trying to make ? A sports person who are required to perform in the particular sport which they play are also required to good speaking skills . It is time to think about it and change for a better future.

“IMPACT OF ENVIRONMENTAL POLLUTION ON HEALTH”

“IMPACT OF ENVIRONMENTAL POLLUTION ON HEALTH”

Environmental pollution is increasing day-by-day around the whole globe and people have to live in a toxic world in this 21st century. Environmental pollution is alarming for the whole world as it has the worst impact on health and it is the big reason for the spike in diseases like cancer, diabetes, heart disease and lung disease among the public. The harmful impact of environmental pollution on health will be discussed here.A report of the World Health Organization (WHO) says that 92% of the world’s population lives in polluted areas. Environmental pollution is directly effecting the children of such areas and they are at high risk. According to a report of UNICEF, around 600,000 children are dying annually due to diseases caused by air pollution that is the most common type of environmental pollution.Environmental pollution is causing various types of diseases and defects in the human body. Moreover, the most common pollutants in the environment like sulfur dioxide (SO2), ozone (O3), carbon di and monoxide (CO2 & CO), heavy metals, nitrogen oxides (NOx), etc. are causing various diseases like respiratory disorders, heart stroke, mental disorders, etc..When a human takes a breath in the air, the person inhales various chemicals that have a direct impact on health. Further, it increases the risk of asthma and respiratory diseases as respiration is the main function of the body to live. Also, evidence of scientific research shows that Ozone in the air affects the functioning of the lungs in the human body. Therefore, due to the negative effects on the lungs, people suffer from respiratory inflammation.People living in the polluted area are the victim of cancer mostly. As most of the regions are polluted with industrial smoke, coal smoke, fire smoke, and vehicle smoke. Additionally, cancer is also caused by indoor items and office materials. These indoor items are paints, carpets, Split AC, air freshness, stabilizers, and sterilizers. Not only this, but the existence of the organic compounds in the environment is also causing cancer.Environmental pollution is directly affecting the heart.

“SOCIAL MEDIA EFFECTS ON THE YOUTH”

“SOCIAL MEDIA EFFECTS ON THE YOUTH”

 

Social media is extensively used by youth approximately around the clock in 2020 and the social media effects are damaging their physical and mental health.These days, people have become slaves by the hands of social media. Their days and nights are incomplete without the usage of Instagram, Twitter, TikTok, Snapchat, and many other social media platforms. 80 percent of youth use social media throughout the day and night. Even a large number of adults have started using WhatsApp, Youtube, and Facebook. But this addiction also has harmful consequences that people seem to have traded off for the pleasure they get from social media use. Social media effects like stress, depression, weight problems, and poor mental health are the core problems that can not be simply ignored.The irony behind social media platforms is that those applications were developed to lessen the distance among your loved ones but instead, these platforms are adding more distances. People, especially young people have started using social media and have forgotten physical meetings and interactions altogether. They keep on using their computer devices and keep on updating their life stories with social media friends by ignoring the blood relationships sitting right in front of them.More than 75 percent of teenagers less than 20 years old, the millenniums, are highly indulged in using social media platforms that they have become fully addicted to. Their life is reduced to taking and uploading updates every minute as stories on different platforms. They are in a run to grasp as much attention as they can and keep getting more and more likes and comments. It gives them satisfaction. Moreover, social media users are always in search of events to get tagged in. Then comes the fear of getting block by someone.Everybody is in a rush to outpace each other to become an influencer. Youtubing is now a verb, YouTuber a profession and uploading vlogs of daily life has taken the place of a job now. Social media is drastically changing every day. After Facebook, all the teenagers headed for Snapchat, and Instagram and now everyone is rushing to the platform of TikTok. People are tying to show their acting skills, they are doing makeup tutorials, they are doing brand advertisement and you name it. They feel stressed if they do not get likes and sharings. They feel stressed if someone else gets more views than them.Social media platforms were made to make costumers aware to seek information and to communicate with people far from them and to do business. But instead too much clinging onto phones is leading to many mental and health problems. A well-read psychiatrist always recommends spending time with nature and with your loved ones. Nature is the utmost source to shed stress, tension, anxiety or depression. But what people do these days? They visit natural places with their loved ones and take tons of pictures, record videos with their loved ones and upload them to social media platforms. They keep on checking their likes and comments on those pictures or videos to satisfy their soul. But ultimately, they destroy their mental peace.

 

” DON’T USE SOCIAL MEDIA TO IMPRESS PEOPLE”

– MEREZJA . F

choose your own happiness..

Sometimes  life is really challenging for some people…They don’t know what to do ?how to do? went to do?

Because, somewhere they lost themselves

If a person is standing in front of you and acting like  he/she is  smiling and taking to you very calmly that  doesn’t mean they are happy too.

Because ,they don’t want to express their emotion in front of you or may be they are not expressive.. They don’t know how to express.

So in that case all you have to do is you should go for their help and ask about their family ,kids,jobs etc .because you don’t know what  problem they are going through

Sometime people Don’t like to discuss their personal life publicly…Which is Fine, But if you have serious problem in your life

You should discuss it with your family members especially with your mother and father ,You can discuss it with your Brother and sister if they are like your age they will definitely understand what is bothering you and what problem you have….And of course you will get a positive vibe from their side..They will also Suggest some good things to you .

That will help you to move on .

If you want to live happy..Don’t share your personal problem with outsiders They won’t understand your feelings.

To be very honest,

if being Happy is our own choice

….So being unhappy is also our own choice…

It all up to you alright !Only you have to decide How you want to live your life happily or unhappy.

 

And please if you’re in a relationship or if you are  married Don’t let someone control your life…

It will just kill your inner soul…

 

weight loss

This may be the most common topic that everyone must have heard or even thought at a point of their life. don’t worry me too think about it every time but the question arises what can be done to reduce fat?? please notice that here I used the word ‘fat’ not ‘weight’ because our main focus should always be fat loss not weight loss. many people think , just by reducing or cutting their body mass they are becoming healthy but it doesn’t work that way. here are some tips I am going to share with you guys to reduce body fat ( calorie deficit is the key).
1)  I don’t care whether you wake up at 6 am , 10 am , 12 noon or even at 1 pm , just do exercise for 1 hour with full            focus. don’t use phone to entertain yourself rather make it use for a good cause or stay away from that phone for          that 1 hour.

2)  Eat healthy , stay away from junk food , processed food . don’t eat namkeen , biscuits or any packaged food. stay           away from processed sugar. replace sugar with jaggery ( if necessary ). don’t fill your stomach entirely always               stop before filling your stomach entirely.

3)  Do cardio with resistance training . its up to you in what proportion you perform both  type of exercises. if you            don’t have weights that’s not a problem , your body weight is sufficient . do push ups , pull ups , squats , etc.

4)  Last but not least. its your life, live it to the  fullest but in the future don’t feel bad that you should had started               earlier doing stuffs that were good for your physical health or mental health. regret eats you up. so start now ,               now is the time.

Trusting one’s self … Is necessary

We have some strength and mighty talent within ourselves which is hidden not only from world the from oneself  too, but we have to keep practice to let us know what is actually we are here for ?

we should try out things which are new as well as old to keep in tact so that we can find what is specially we are made for? there is lots of things out there around the world to learn and practice so we have some talent and skills .Trusting that we can do is something which is exactly as human we should have within ourselves. The trust starts when we initiate with so do others find we are trust worth.

Trust is also another form of confidence but if we loose the trust we loose not only confidence but much more so never loose the trust as it is necessary for one self. Lot’s of people fail in trusting test but very few pass and they do so as they are confident enough to trust and express that trusting does have a price and if we pay sometimes its worthy too.so please do trust as its a very fewer’s things which helps us by being our selves.
