In India there are many beautiful places and there are many different people, languages, culture etc… Near India there are China and Pakistan who are willing to capture some main part of the India but they cannot capture. India is giving tough fight for both the countries even though they are becoming stronger and stronger. In the before time also Pakistan is waiting eagerly to capture Jammu and Kashmir in India but the military in India is giving a tough fight to them. In Pakistan there are some terrorist who attacked the small villages near the Jammu and Kashmir and some peoples died and some have injured. Pakistan is attacking always in the borders of India and Pakistan. There was big attack it is called as Pulwama attack on 14thfeburary 2019 morning 5:30 am 40 soldiers were died at a time plus one bomber this had happened at Lethapora (near Awantipora) in the Pulwama district of the erstwhile state of Jammu and Kashmir. The whole country was in tears that day it was a terrific death because while they were sleeping in car and some places surrounded by them they kept the bomb. India knew it is made by Pakistan government took actions even though it not coming to an end. So the Indian government took action that there working under the ground as a tunnel to safeguard the people from the bomb blast they are planning to construct 14,460 but where the Pakistan is attacking much there they are constructing extra 4,000 tunnels in that 7,923 were constructed in that some tunnels only one person can hide and in other many people can hide under the tunnels during attack. In Ladakh border china has kept their soldiers ready to attack India they have made tents and staying. As Ladakh is near Himalayas it is a cooling place so many soldiers of their country could not bear the cold so many have fallen so they are changing soldiers as a routine process. Before itself they were keeping their force to attack so India to kept the soldiers as much as china kept the forces the afterwards both the chief commander talked not to make war. There was no satisfaction in both the side so it continued to ten times and both were agreed to return from the place, but china didn’t so India blocked 10 apps from the play store to India and they stopped import and export from their country. China is asking help from other countries and it is making all the neighbouring countries like Pakistan and Srilanka to attack all around problem was there for India but it was all solved china is again going to start the attack. India military and chief all are seeing the movements of the china and they are also getting ready. Even though India has done so much to china they are not getting back why if china fights, we should also fight there is any rule can we change as the father of our nation did being quite. We can fight in words not in action and bomb blast because of that many people are died so we can do by this method to win the battle. War and all things many people are died and many have lost their lives so let’s not be fight and be friendly with others.

Major treats:

• A weed is a plant considered undesirable in a particular situation, “a     plant in the wrong place”. Examples commonly are plants unwanted in human-controlled settings, such as farm fields, gardens, lawns, and parks. Taxonomically, the term “weed” has no botanical significance,

In this recent years this river is overcrowded by the growth of weeds which cannot be destroyed easily .This weeds also served as a home to the mosquitoes which in turn invited the diseases in our home.

Types of lake weeds

They are rooted in the bottom, but stems, foliage and flowers extend above the water surface like Cattail (Typha spp.), Besharam (Ipomea carnea), Common reed (Phragmites communis), American lotus (Nelumbo lutea), Water lily (Nymphaea odorata), Pickerel weed (Pontederia cordata), Arrowhead (Sagittaria spp.), Purple

 

Negative effects of weeds in water systems:

The plants cause tremendous loss of water from water bodies like lakes and dams through evapotranspiration. Aquatic weeds have been found to severely reduce the flow capacity of drainage and irrigation canals thereby reducing the availability of water to the farmer’s field.

A few examples of broadleaf weeds are clover, dandelion, and purslane. Some examples of grassy type weeds are nutsedge, pampas grass, and bermuda grass. Weeds can be further divided into annuals, biennials, and perennials.

 

 Sustainable methods:

Chemicals:

Herbicide spray or granules that are applied to the water or area following specific instructions.

Effective at targeting specific weeds

Less labor intensive

 

DREDGING:

A machine that displaces (and depending on the type, can remove) sediment layers.

Moves the sediment thereby removing seeds, roots, and plants

Removes a mucky bottom

Can increase water depth

 

Deweeding Organization:

To save the river from being polluted and being harmed there are methods that can be followed

The de-weeding drive undertaken by the public works department (PWD) recently at the Uyyakondan canal in the city to prevent mosquito menace, has escalated the maintenance cost by 12% than last year, with officials attributing it to the rapid growth of water hyacinth and waste water being let into the canal.

To overcome such a situation the young volunteers can come front and organize a team to help to save the river from being lost off.

 

• Garbage disposal:

River of garbage:

Trash can travel throughout the world’s rivers and oceans, accumulating on beaches and within gyres. … It is transported by rivers to the ocean, where it moves with the currents, and is often eaten by birds and fish, concentrating toxic chemicals in their tissues, and filling their stomachs, causing them to starve.

And also this river is now polluted by throwing garbage into it. This once again paves way for diseases and also affects the organisms that lives in it and fed with it.

The effects of illegal dumping:

A common method of illegal dumping is throwing garbage directly into a river or stream, this causes oceanic pollution and leads to the death of marine life. Waste that is dumped illegally often contains dangerous and toxic substances, which soak in all the oceanic oxygen.

“Plastic can have a damaging impact on underwater life. Large pieces can trap animals but smaller pieces can be in advertently eaten. “Once digested, plastic can release toxic chemicals which are then passed through the food chain. These toxic chemicals, in high doses, could harm the health of wildlife.”

Sewage treatment:

NOWADAYS this river is flowing along with the garbage in it which makes it more badly and useless for this the people in my locality can come up in collecting funds and help in promoting and restoring it. And also they can associate a team to clean up the river in order to save our resource.

WHO IS RESPONSIBLE?

If no government agency has the responsibility or resources to clean up the banks of a stream or its littered streambed, then it is the responsibility of nongovernmental organizations and private citizens to do so. There are many opportunities for private citizens to participate in river and stream cleanups. For example, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency sponsors an “Adopt-a-Watershed” program. Many states have “green team” or “stream team” opportunities, such as Vermont’s Green-Up Day and Northern California’s Riverwat.

Volunteers who participate in stream cleanups often report a rewarding experience. In addition to providing an aesthetic and environmental benefit, cleanups reconnect citizens and the community to the waterways that have been a vital part of the nation’s history and culture.

Research has shown than people are more likely to behave in ways that preserve our waterways if they are clean in the first place. If a stream bank or shoreline already has litter, people are more likely to continue littering. Individuals can take the initiative by cleaning up streamside trash and by disposing of trash properly.

Is Success measured by money or mental strength?

Success can be said as the outcome of our efforts in simple terms. If a person is Successful he will be at a stage where he cannot replace such feeling. Many persons used to surf to become successful rather finding his/her   own way to become successful and now let me say it in brief.

• To become successful first choose your passion or the field in which you wanted to be successful.
• Then think of the ways to achieve it.
• Now prioritize your works.
• Time Management is one of the keys to become Successful.
• Set your goal.
• Work hard until you achieve it.
• Overcome your fears, Obstacles and everything that stops you.
• And Now the most important thing NEVER EVER GIVE UP

 

Success measured by Money:

What is money for?

Money is the basic commodity that helps you to run a life. So each and everyone should remember that money is only to satisfy your needs not your feelings.Everytime when you are successful you will experience a sort of feeling that money cannot repay it. So if a person is Successful with his/her money he will not get the happiness of Success.

How hard is Success?

Success is tough no matter how you slice it. With so many people vying and competing in what many label as a zero-sum game, achieving any semblance of grand-scale success has become monumentally difficult. And it will only get harder as the years wear on.

why isn’t it easy?

Success is knowing what to do and actually doing it. Failure is knowing what to do and not doing it. Most of us actually know what to do but for some reason, fear perhaps or whatever, we just don’t do it

  Success by Mental Strength:

If a person desires to be successful and goes to any extent for it he is a person of strong mental strength. It’s because only such person with mental strength will work for it and only such person explores its pleasure .Thus Money cannot replace your feelings and only Success is measured by mental strength.

To be a person of strong mental strength a person should be him/her self and must be concerned about his mind and soul because these keep you strong. Also yoga’s, Meditation can be done to improve it.

Unlike others we must be unique in finding a way for our success. Most of the successful people say that Time Management is very important to become successful. It’s because when you manage your time you can improve yourself rather running behind the clock. The teenagers must also be energetic and active instead of being lazy. To become successful to must work and go for any positive extent to achieve it.

 

“Success depends less on strength of Body than upon Mind and Character”

Literary history:

The Epic of Gilgamesh ( is an epic poem from ancient Mesopotamia, regarded as the earliest surviving notable literature and the second oldest religious text, after the Pyramid Texts. The literary history of Gilgamesh begins with five Sumerian poems about Bilgamesh (Sumerian for “Gilgamesh”), king of Uruk, The first surviving version of this combined epic, is known as the “Old Babylonian” version dates to the 18th century BCE and is titled after its incipit, The later Standard Babylonian version compiled

Character Analysis:

The Major characters in this epic are…

• Gilgamesh
• Enkidu
• Humbaba
• shamath
• Ishtar

 

GILGAMESH

King of Uruk, the strongest of men, Two-thirds god and one-third mortal, and the perfect example of all human virtues. He is A brave warrior, fair judge, ambitious builder

 

ENKIDU

Companion and friend of Gilgamesh. Hairy-bodied and muscular, Enkidu was raised by animals. Enkidu looks much like Gilgamesh and is almost his physical equal. He aspires to be Gilgamesh’s rival but instead becomes his soul mate. he gods punish Gilgamesh and Enkidu by giving Enkidu a slow, painful, inglorious death for killing the demon Humbaba and the Bull of Heaven.

HUMBABA

The fearsome demon who guards the Cedar Forest forbidden to mortals. He is the prime example of awesome natural power and danger. His mouth is fire, he roars like a flood, and he breathes death, much like an erupting volcano

ISHTAR

The goddess of love and fertility, as well as the goddess of war. Ishtar is frequently called the Queen of Heaven. Though she can be unpredictable at times, she is a nurturing mother figure, and other times she is spiteful and cruel. She is the patroness of Uruk, where she has a temple.

SHAMHAT

Shamhat   is a temple prostitute. By sleeping with Enkidu, she begins the process of bringing him into civilization.

UTNAPISHTIM,

Utnapishtim, also called the Distant One, is the only man to attain immortality. It was a gift from the gods in exchange for his obedience during the Great Flood. Although he’s old and wise, Utnapishtim is also demanding and impatient of Gilgamesh’s quest.

 

 

 

 

 

Two versions

From the diverse sources found, two main versions of the epic have been partially reconstructed: the Standard Babylonian version, or He who saw the deep, and the Old Babylonian version, or Surpassing all other kings.

Standard Babylonian version

The Standard Babylonian version has different opening words, or incipit, from the older version. The older version begins with the words “Surpassing all other kings”, while the Standard Babylonian version has “He who saw the deep” (“deep” referring to the mysteries of the information brought back by Gilgamesh from his meeting with Utnapishtim) about Ea, the fountain of wisdom. Gilgamesh was given knowledge of how to worship the gods, why death was ordained for human beings, what makes a good king, and how to live a good life. The story of Utnapishtim, the hero of the flood myth, can also be found in the Babylonian epic

Old Babylonian versions

This version of the epic, called in some fragments surpassing all other kings, is composed of tablets and fragments from diverse origins and states of conservation. It remains incomplete in its majority, with several tablets missing and big lacunae in those found. They are named after their current location or the place where they were found.

Similarities between this epic and the bible:

In this Epic, the gods create Enkidu, who runs wild with the animals in the open country, as a companion for Gilgamesh.  There are particularly interesting similarities between the Garden of Eden story in Genesis and the story of Enkidu’s movement from nature to culture and civilization. In both stories, a woman is responsible for the transition of a man who had once eaten and drunk with the animals to a state of estrangement from nature. Once Enkidu is rejected by the animal world, the woman Shamhat gives him clothing and teaches him to drink beer and eat bread—all technological developments that separate humans from animals.

Symbols:

Gilgamesh is rich in religious symbolism. Religious rituals in Mesopotamia involved sacrifices, festivals, sex, dream interpretation, and shamanic magic, all of which appear in the story. Enkidu’s hirsuteness symbolizes the natural, uncivilized state.

Moral themes:

The Epic of Gilgamesh has several moral themes, but the main theme is that love is a motivating force. Other moral themes in this epic are the inevitability of death and the danger of dealing with the gods. The love within the friendship of Enkidu and Gilgamesh inspires both of them to be better men in different ways

Fear, not grief, is the reason why Gilgamesh seeks immortality. Enkidu’s death thrusts Gilgamesh into the depths of despair but more importantly it forces him to acknowledge his own mortality.

Contribution:

Through his struggle to find meaning in life, Gilgamesh defied death and, in doing so, becomes the first epic hero in world literature. The grief of Gilgamesh, and the questions his friend’s death evoke, resonate with every human being who has wrestled with the meaning of life in the face of death

 “What you seek you shall never find. For when the Gods made man, they kept immortality to themselves”. A penny for your thoughts….

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

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. 

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 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.

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 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.

“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.

” BE A PART OF THE SOLUTION NOT PART OF THE POLLUTION”

-MEREZJA F

On 20 December 2018 the United Nation General Assembly adopted resolution 73/250 proclaiming a World Food Safety Day. Starting in 2019, every 7 June will be a time to celebrate the benefits of safe food. Food safety is the absence or safe, acceptable levels of hazards in food that may harm the health of consumers. Food borne hazards can be microbiological, chemical or physical in nature and are often invisible to the plain eye: bacteria, viruses or pesticide residues are some examples. Food safety has a critical role in assuring that food stays safe at every stage of the food chain from production to harvest, processing, storage, distribution, all the way to preparation and consumption.

with an estimated 600 million cases of food borne illness annually, unsafe food is a threat to human and health and economies, disproportionally affecting vulnerable and marginalized people, especially woman and children, population affected by conflict, and migrants. An estimate three million people around the world in developing and developed countries die every year from food and water borne diseases. Food is the starting point for our energy, our health and our well-being. We often take granted that it is safe, but in an increasingly complex and interconnected world where food values chains growing longer, standards and regulations are that much more important in keeping us safe.

KEY FACTS:

• Access to sufficient amounts of safe and nutritious food is the key of sustaining life and promoting good health.
• Unsafe food containing harmful bacteria, viruses, parasites, or chemical substances, causes more than 200 diseases ranging from diarrhea to cancer.
• An estimate of 600 million almost 1 out of 10 people in the world fall ill after eating contaminated food and 420000 die every year, resulting in the loss of 33 million healthy lives.
• Children under 5 years of age carry 40% of the food borne disease burden, with 125000 deaths every year.
• Diarrhoeal diseases are the most common illness resulting from the consumption of contaminated food, causing 550 million people to fall ill and 230000 deaths every year.
• Food safety, nutrition and food security are inextricably linked. Unsafe food creates a vicious cycle of diseases and malnutrition, particularly affecting infants, young, elderly and the sick.
• Food borne diseases impede socio-economic development by straining health care system, and harming natural economies, tourism and trade.
• Food supply chains now cross multiple national borders. Good collaborations between governments, producers and consumers helps ensure food safety.

2020 THEME :

In 2020, thee second observance of World Food Safety Day, we all have a chance to recognized the people who help keep our food safe. 2020 was about promoting awareness and urging action by highlighting what everyone can do to ensure safe food. whether you grow, process, transport, store,sell, prepare or consume food, you have a role to play in keeping it safe.

With the five steps below you can see how everyone is involved in food systems and has a part to play in keeping food safe:

1. Ensure it’s safe – Governments must ensure safe and nutritious food for all.
2. Grow it safe – Agriculture and food producers need to adopt good practices.
3. Keep it safe – Business operations must make sure food is safe.
4. Eat it safe – All consumers have the right to safe, healthy and nutritious food.
5. Team up for safety – Food safety is a shared responsibility.

To outsiders, Pride Month might seem like a month of glittering parties and parades, but it’s so much more than that. The catalyst for Pride is actually a riot. These days, however, the LGBT community around the world uses it as a time to get together and celebrate how far we’ve come. It’s a time to recommit to the work that must still be done to achieve equality. It’s a time to reflect on the progress we’ve made as a community and celebrate those who made this progress possible. Since the uprising, LGBT folks and allies have fought hard to give the community the right to marry, to start families, to fight discrimination, hate speech, and hate crimes, and to simply allow queer folks to exist. During this month, we acknowledge the progress we’ve made sometimes loudly and always proudly while also being realistic about how far society still has to go. It’s time to amplify the voices that urgently need our support, especially rural, Black and Brown, and transgender communities.

All around the world, Pride Month is celebrated in June. It can be a little confusing for those new to Pride because not all major queer events actually happen in June. Some like the multi-day lesbian centric music festival usually takes place in April, Women Fest is also held in September. In general, though, the major parties, parades, and other festivals generally takes place in the month of June or somewhat close to it.

the Pride Month was started through The Stonewall Uprising took place on June 28, 1969, in New York City. At this time, police would frequently raid gay bars and harass the queer community, as there were still many laws on books banning homosexuality. Greenwich Village’s Stonewall Inn was among the most popular gay bars, and while it had been raided before, on that particular day in June, the queer community fought back and protested hard for several days. After that, things were never the same again and this was a very good thing. The first official Pride parade began the following year on the anniversary of the Stonewall Riots, with Christopher Street Liberation Day. Some folks celebrate Pride Month by attending picnics with queer friends while other spend time in the community via ZOOM events, and still, others simply donate to their favorite LGBT community.

In India leading online sexual and reproductive health information platform, love Matters India is celebrating Pride for an entire week from June 10 to June 16 with their campaign #AgarTumSaathHo : Celebrating Support, Acceptance and Allyship”. With this campaign, the platform will display stories of support and acceptance that people have received or extended towards members of the community. Their mission is to extend knowledge of the LGBT community and also encourage acceptance of the community in the society to create a harmonious bond between those who are not a part of the LGBT community. During this campaign, they will also host a letter writing workshop, where one can write letters of support to any person with whom they wish to communicate.

These concerns come at a time when several Indian states have reported a shortage of vaccines for the 18-44 age group. A section of the medical community in Bengaluru as in other parts of the country are asking for safe and efficient vaccines for children to be made available ahead of the third wave of the Covid-19 pandemic. This,as they are expecting children to be the most vulnerable section of the population in the third wave. It should be noted that schools, especially for junior classes, have largely remained closed since the onset of the pandemic in March 2020. Currently in India, ZyCoV-D and Covaxin is under trial for children above the age of 12. In certain nations like the US, Canada and Singapore, vaccines like Pfizer have already been approved for the use for children above the age 12. Dr. Mayuri Yeole, associate consultant of Paediatrics said vaccination is important not only for immunity but overall well being of children too. “Vaccination will not only help boost their immunity, but also make attending schools and outing stress-free. It will help them live their childhood, and not be confined within four walls.” Like the flu vaccine, it seems essential to have a Covid-19 vaccine for children too while it may not prevent children from contracting the novel coronavirus, it will help reduce the morbidity and mortality which we are anticipating with the third wave. Some experts are of the belief that the government should currently focus on vaccinating the 18 and above population at first in wake of large scale vaccine shortage, as they see children as less likely to have severe diseases.

While consolidated pan India data on children’s mortality due to Covid-19 is not available, according to Karnataka government data, 105 persons of the age group 1-19 years have died due to Covid-19. In Mumbai, the number of deaths between 1-19 years of age group was 52. Usually, the children who pass away have had chronic illness and were already vulnerable. across the globe, the rate of death and even hospitalisation among children is significantly lower. It was found that the infections in children were slightly higher but statically insignificant compared to adults. Serosurvey detects presence of antibodies and not virus which means that children were exposed to the virus at the similar degree but they were highly asymptomatic.

Instead of prioritising children’s vaccination over the population of 18, the government shoul focus on pressing areas of malnutrition, immunisation against basic diseases in children. We cannot compare ourselves with the West where many places even have surplus vaccines while our children are dying due to lack of access to basic nutrition. We are creating unnecessary panic when we have vaccinated only 3% of the population fully. we should focus on frontline workers, the over 60 age group, and then the people with comorbidities should be prioritised. There is no urgency to vaccinate children as they are less prone to severe disease. One reason is that their immune system is under development. And they are given vaccines like MMR, chicken pox and H1N1 and others. So, unlike older people, their immunity systems are much more active. If we don’t vaccinate the parents first, there will be difficulty in managing the children. So, if we can protect the parents, to a large extent, we can naturally prevent infection among children.

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 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.

People use the term junk food to describe a food that has few of the nutrients your body needs, and a lot of fat, sugar and salt, which your body can easily get too much of. Potato chips, candy, and soft drinks are often considered junk food. If you like these snack foods, the trick is to eat them in small portions so that you still get the nutrients you need each day.It is high in calories and extremely low in nutrients. It is a major cause of serious problems like obesity and malnourishment due to the lack of essential nutrients in the diet.The school students are the worst victims of malnutrition. The reason behind it is not poverty but their growing fondness for junk and fried food.
Most students prefer pizzas and burgers over fruits and green vegetables. Such items have always been a more tempting option to the home cooked meal of rice, chapatis and vegetables. The opening of fast food corners has made it convenient to grab a burger than to carry a tiffin. But there is a huge price to be paid for this convenience.As we eat junk food, the brain neurons pump out more and more dopamine, giving us a feeling of pleasure. When released, dopamine fits into a receptors in the brain, much like a key fits into a lock, and when the fit is right the pleasure is sensed.A variety of fast food like pizza, burger, presweetened cereals, chips, noodles, processed foods are easily available in the market. People find it desirable and convenient to eat such food items as they please their taste buds more than regular food.These types of food haven’t got any nutrition, rather they are high in cholesterol, sugar, sodium and low in fibre, antioxidants, vitamins and minerals.These foods are hazardous for health. They give rise to blood pressure, resulting in hypertension and cardiac disorders. Sometimes they develop chronic degenerative disorders also. They simply feed hunger along with our immediate craving. They do not form our body in the form of usable lasting energy or building materials provided by nutritious food like fruits, vegetables, chapattis, pulses, etc.This food only looks and tastes good, other than that, it has no positive points.
The amount of calorie your body requires to stay fit is not fulfilled by this food. For instance, foods like French fries, burgers, candy, and cookies, all have high amounts of sugar and fats. Therefore, this can result in long-term illnesses like diabetes and high blood pressure. This may also result in kidney failure.Everyone should realise the importance of healthy and nutritious food and should say ‘no’ to fast food. Parents must ensure that their children eat healthy and home-made food. Children should also break the shackles of unhealthy food and follow a diet-chart suggested by their parents.School authorities should also take immediate steps to replace fast food items with health promoting items such as milk, eggs, bread sandwich, fruit chaat etc. Students should be taught that health is wealth. If they remain healthy, only then they can concentrate on studies. Junk food will bring nothing but ill health, obesity and unhappy life.

South Korea, an East Asian nation on the southern half of the Korean Peninsula, shares one of the world’s most heavily militarized borders with North Korea. It’s equally known for its green, hilly countryside dotted with cherry trees and centuries-old Buddhist temples, plus its coastal fishing villages, sub-tropical islands and high-tech cities such as Seoul, the capital.South Korea is a very safe country to visit. It is famous for being the land of kimchi, K-pop, K-dramas, tech giant Samsung, automotive manufacturer Hyundai, soju, Korean fried chicken, Korean barbecue, the 12-step skincare routine, and of course, Gangnam Style. But there’s so much more to this East Asian tiger than the trends it has given birth to.Its crime rates are much lower than in the US and on par with most European countries, Japan, Singapore, and Hong Kong. This mostly means that, for tourists and anyone else, it is perfectly safe to walk around at night, even in the larger cities. Violent crime is also rare.Since the turn of the 21st century, South Korea has emerged as a major exporter of popular culture and tourism, aspects which have become a significant part of its burgeoning economy.K-dramas have attracted attention for their fashion, style and culture all over the world.South Korea offers everything a traveler could want in a destination. It has a long and fascinating history, a wonderful culture, amazing food, friendly people, and an excellent tourism infrastructure (including a new high-speed rail system). It’s also a country of contrasts, with tourist attractions ranging from ancient mountaintop Buddhist temples like Bulguksa to the ultra-modern skyscrapers of Seoul like the Lotte World Tower.All Koreans speak the Korean language, which is often classified as one of the Altaic languages, has affinities to Japanese, and contains many Chinese loanwords.The South Korean won or Korean Republic won is the official currency of South Korea. A single won is divided into 100 jeon, the monetary subunit. The jeon is no longer used for everyday transactions, and appears only in foreign exchange rates. The won is issued by the Bank of Korea, based in the capital city of Seoul.
It also has one of the most unique attractions in the world that can be visited, a no-mans land, part of a military border between two countries technically still at war (the DMZ). Plan your trip with our list of the top tourist attractions South Korea.You should plan to spend around ₩111,235 ($100) per day on your vacation in South Korea, which is the average daily price based on the expenses of other visitors. Guns, narcotics, pornography, subversive material, treasonous material, and counterfeit goods are prohibited from entering Korea.Seoul, Busan, and Juju Island are some of the most popular tourist destinations in South Korea which are perfectly safe to visit while travelling with family .English is not very widely spoken in South Korea overall, although you will have better luck in the capital Seoul, where there will be more English speakers in the main tourist areas.April to June is generally regarded the best time to visit South Korea. The flowers are in bloom and a frothy, dust-pink cloak of blossoms covers the country.

“YOU CAN TELL THE CONDITION OF A NATION BY LOOKING AT THE STATUS OF ITS WOMEN”. . – JAWAHAR LAL NEHRU According to the provisions of the CONSTITUTION OF INDIA, it is a legal point to grant EQUALITY to WOMEN in all spheres of society just like male! THE DEPARTMENT OF WOMEN AND AND CHILD DEVELOPMENT functions well in this field for the PROPER DEVELOPMENT of the WOMEN AND CHILD in India. Women are given a top place in INDIA, from the ancient time, however they were not given EMPOWERMENT to participate in all areas. They were restricted to some areas only. BUT, the question here is,. “WHAT IS WOMEN EMPOWERMENT”? “WHAT IT’S LIKE TO EMPOWERING WOMEN”? Well, In simple terms,. WOMEN EMPOWERMENT IS “THE EMPOWERMENT OF WOMEN”. It is made up of two words: WOMEN AND EMPOWERMENT. EMPOWERMENT means to give power or authority to someone. Hence, It refers to making women POWERFUL to make them CAPABLE OF DECIDING FOR THEMSELVES, by breaking all personal limitations of society and family. IT MEANS “INCREASING THE POWER OF WOMEN”. Women have capabilities to make a world of difference in the great march of civilization. But, Today, “ARE WOMEN REALLY EMPOWERED”? “CAN THEY TAKE THEIR OWN DECISIONS”? “ARE THEY REALLY FREE”?

Well, The Answer is not “ALL OF THEM”. The Status of Women in India has been subject to many changes over the span of recorded Indian history. HISTORY says that WOMEN were ILL-TREATED. Their position in society deteriorated early in India’s ancient period, especially in INDO-ARYAN speaking regions, and their subordination continued to be refined well into India’s early modern period. Women have always been the most vulnerable and oft-explioted segments of the society in any age, any time, any place, and any society. They have been since ages VICTIMS of HUMILIATION, EXPLOITATION AND VIOLENCE. The SATI PRATHA in the ancient times to the GIRL CHILD ABOLITION in the present scenario, women continue facing such violence. But, It’s not like, that now People and Governments are oblivious about Their situation and condition.

There have been many provisions and schemes taken up by various Governments in their respective countries. In INDIA, GOVERNMENT has come up with many schemes such as, “BETI BACHAO, BETI PADHAO” YOJANA, MAHILA SHAKTI KENDRA, WORKING WOMEN HOSTELS, and many schemes in favour of them.

ARTICLE 15(3) mentions the welfare of women and children can be stated as,” Nothing in this article shall prevent the state from making any special provision for women and children”.

MINISTRY FOR WOMEN AND CHILD DEVELOPMENT has collaborated with FACEBOOK on NOVEMBER 19, 2019, to enhance digital literacy and online safety for women in India. The GOVERNMENT OF INDIA has taken the safety and empowerment of women into serious consideration. The growing injustice towards WOMEN had to be minimised and these schemes and their implementation are the solutions to this problem. Several Women have served in various senior official positions in the INDIAN GOVERNMENT, including that of THE PRESIDENT OF INDIA( MRS. PRATIBHA PATIL), THE PRIME MINISTER ( INDIRA GANDHI),CHIEF MINITERS(SUCHETA KRIPLANI), MEMBERS IN PARLIAMENT and THE SPEAKER OF LOK SABHA. This shows that GOVERNMENTS are becoming more and more active in amelioration of women’s condition in our society. However,. Many Women in India continue to face significant difficulties from many sectors. In some societies, WOMEN are still discriminated on the basis of GENDER. They are not given the same freedom as Men. Girls of many societies (especially in RURAL AREAS OF INDIA) are still not allowed to take a decision regarding their lives. What can a Government do with their schemes? If there are not many girls to adapt it. Discrimination against women is still deeply rooted within our Society. Women are still paid less, compared to men. Women are still strict by their culture and family. She cannot go out at nights, with or without a Guy! She cannot has a say in decision making. Even Today, in COMBODIA, WOMEN are determined or recognized by their husbands and Fathers. IS THIS THE EMPOWERMENT? WE OFTEN TALK ABOUT? IS THIS THE FREEDOM WE WANT TO ACHIEVE? No!!!! EMPOWERING WOMEN IS TO GIVE HER THE RIGHT! THE RIGHT TO PARTICIPATE EQUALLY IN SOCIETY, EDUCATION, IN DECISION MAKING. Women should be allowed HIGHER EDUCATION as men. Women should be allowed to decide whether she wants marriage of not!!! But Can we expect this in INDIA??

As THE UNION MINISTER HARDEEP SINGH PURI has rightly said, ” WOMEN EMPOWERMENT HAS COME A LONG WAY, BUT WE HAVEN’T ARRIVED YET”.

      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, 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.

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.

 

 

In India and all over the world the corona virus is spreading fast without any end. In India the government has told that all people must stay in house and do their work. The corona virus is most dangerous it is killing people many people are affected by it. Working in an office is a risk thing because there will be many people working if it comes to a person it may spread to others. So the government has instructed the officers to stay the workers from their house and work. The workers are affected by these things much because their working hours has no limit. They are given work after completing their work they only they are allowed to sleep. The officers of the company gave them leave in Sunday’s but they are not allowed to be free, if they get sick or if their family members they are not allowed to take leave any day without completing the work. Company officers are trying to make their losses into strength of their company which is happening during this pandemic situation. The corona virus has made their business into a loss they are trying to maintain the normal thing which was happening before corona time. The economy is going down it is now in minus it has to be in the good form. The lockdown and corona virus made this happen because if there is no lockdown and if we every people went to work this Economy will not be in loss. Economy is about each and everybody who works it is equal for their farmers, if they go to field only we get food and other things are exported through that also we are getting money. Economy is down because all over the world there is corona virus no one is trying to export or import because India is first. Vaccines and medicines we sent to other countries we didn’t keep anything for ourselves so we suffered. Many people because of work from home some are in other country, state and district itself. Some are happy because of work from home now government told that some can work in office with 50% of people. So the company is very slow because they couldn’t coordinate all the people in the office and work from home at a time. Companies are in a difficult situation that how to bring the company. Working from home so all our at home while meeting how a family can be quite a family means there will be some noises and sounds, but the companies are expecting that there must be no noise it is possible in office. They are having network issues and some are having laptops by seeing it closely and working for hours they are affected by eye sight. Many workers in the company are being stressed nowadays no one is in bench means without working. Due to this corona pandemic many have lost their jobs and those who are doing daily work and salary don’t know what to do for food and shelter. This corona virus has changed each one’s life a lot we have to break the chain and come out of this pandemic situation.

 

“ONLY WHEN WE THINK THAT WE CAN SUCCED WE WILL ACT SO LET’S THINK AND ACT”

Sedition is a word that appears every day on news. The recent turn of events that made sedition the headlines was that the Supreme Court quashed the case of sedition filed against a journalist in Himachal Pradesh. He was accused of making remarks against the Prime Minister and the government’s handling of the migrant crisis that followed COVID- 19 lock down during the first wave last year in a video.
A sedition case was filed against him under section 124A of the IPC. The section penalises sedition as punishable with either imprisonment ranging from three years to a lifetime, a fine, or both. The Supreme Court once again as a saviour of constitutional rights quashed the case rendering his remarks as genuine criticism of the government. The Supreme Court reiterated the principles of the landmark case Kedarnath Singh versus union of India 1962. In landmark judgment the Supreme Court upheld the constitutional validity of sedition law while restricting its scope for misuse.

A walk through the history of sedition

Sedition law was enacted in India during the colonial era. It was the brainchild of England who believed that only good opinions of the government should survive. Macauley is credited with drafting the sedition law for the first time in 1837. In 1870 section 124A was introduced in Indian Penal Code. Many freedom fighters were booked under sedation. The first person was Bal Gangadhar Tilak, who was accused of writing seditious articles in his newspaper, Kesari. His judgement in Bombay High Court was passed by Arthur Strachey for the ‘seditious libel’.
The law survived in post-independence India. In the constituent assembly an attempt was made by K.M. Munshi, a strong supporter of free speech, to repeal the word sedition from the list of exceptions for rights to free speech under article 19 of the constitution. It was a successful endeavour however sedition remained functional under the Indian Penal Code.
From time to time the Supreme Court took charge to interpret the law vis-à-vis Brij Bhushan vs the state of Delhi (1950), Romesh Thappar vs the state of Madras (1950), Kedarnath Singh vs state of Bihar (1962) and Balwant Singh vs State of Punjab (1995). The landmark 1962 judgement upheld the constitutionality of sedition but limited its application. It defined that the thin line between ‘very strong speech’ and ‘vigorous words’ strongly critical of the government.
Presently, Section 124A of IPC states-

‘Whoever, by words, either spoken or written, or by science, or by visible representation, or otherwise, brains or attempts to bring into hatred or contempt, or excites or attempts to excite this affection towards the government established by law in India shall be punished with imprisonment for life, to which fine may be added, or with imprisonment which may extend to three years, to which fine may be added, or with fine’

What next?
Sedition cannot be repealed within a fortnight. It has a long history and will have a future as well. The best the government can do is the refrain from misusing it, the Supreme Court will remain the saviour of the people of India and us, the citizens should try to use freedom of speech in the best interest of the nation.

ODISHA- 1999 and afterwards

About nine hours away from Bhubaneswar, Bhawanipatna city is situated which is the district headquarter of Kalahandi which is one of the thirty districts present in Odisha. Long ago Bhawanipatna used to be the capital of the Kalahandi kingdom and the Kalahandi palace can still be seen there. Kalahandi had been ruled by the Naga dynasty for decades but it’s known not for the Nagas but for its poverty.

Phanas Punji of Amlapali village in Kalahandi sold her two-year-old sister-in-law for Rs. 40 to save her two starving children. To which Kapil Narayan Tiwari, a former MLA, said “Here, children are sold cheaper than channas, and the government, instead of rescuing the poor from hunger, is pressurizing them to deny the sale stories.”

This incident in the year 1985 shook the nation and soon Kalahandi caught up the lime-light. Former Prime Minister Rajiv Gandhi visited Kalahandi with his wife Sonia Gandhi and made a remarkable statement that of every rupee spent by the government ,only 15 paise reached the intended beneficiary. These VIP visits highlighted the issues and suffering of Kalahandi but the ground reality remained somewhat unaffected. In a statement dated five months after the visit of Rajiv Gandhi Phanas Punji said “I am poorer after Rajiv Gandhi’s visit. Officials came once and gave me a sari (worth Rs.7) and 8 kg of grains, which was an insult to my poverty. The sari is still lying unused though I couldn’t keep the grains: my children were so hungry.”

But after almost twenty years when the media found Phanas Punji again, she was no longer a picture of penury and hunger. She was wearing decent clothes along with jewelry. And this improvement can also be verified with RBI data: in the year 1999, Odisha was the poorest state in India but in the year 2012 it jumped 5 positions ahead.

Odisha faced ignorance from it’s rulers in history especially in British era and even after independence which were considered to be the reason of it’s poverty. Not only poor governance but many-a-times extreme weather conditions ranging from cyclones to droughts were also considered to be reason. The famine of 1866 killed more than one million people. But many researchers believe that extreme weather conditions couldn’t be treated as the sole reason of poverty, poor governance and policies are equally responsible for the same. For example in a report of the 1866 famine stated that increased exports, hoarding and inadequate relief also contributed as immediate causes of people’s sufferings.

Till date seven Prime Ministers of independent India have visited Kalahandi to promise better policies. In-fact it is believed that Indira Gandhi got the inspiration of the slogan ‘Garibi hatao’ when she visited Kalahandi.

It should also be kept in mind that situations vary from place to place within Odisha as well. Odisha can broadly be divided into three parts i.e., North Odisha, South Odisha and Coastal Odisha. North Odisha is the area of mines whereas Coastal Odisha is full of cities and tourist attractions and South Odisha is a hilly area where most of the tribal communities reside.

Studies have shown that Coastal Odisha has almost half the poverty rate compared to other regions.

But situations began to improve in the twenty-first century. Economists showed in their studies that the average growth rate of Odisha rose to 8 per cent which immensely helped in the eradication of poverty.

The credit goes to the Chief Minister Naveen Patnaik, who has been the CM of the state of nineteen years now. Over the past two decades ‘The man who couldn’t care’ has transformed his image to a man who’s known for his simple lifestyle and generosity. But he didn’t just change his image but also changed the future of Odisha.

The main reason of economic development in Odisha was the rapid growth and improvement in it’s tertiary sector. Within the first decade of twenty-first century the share of tertiary sector in Odisha’s economy increased from 39 per cent to 49.8 per cent. And this wasn’t exclusive to Odisha. The tertiary sector of India was helping in rapid economic growth all over the nation and Odisha used the same for it’s economy.

At the same time, not only economic but Odisha also had social development. For example the first decade of this century saw a major dip in the infant mortality rate in Odisha.

The credit for these socio-economic development goes to three social initiatives of the state government i.e., 1. Mission Shakti and similar other programs where the women are provided with skills and facilities so that they can become more independent. Not only this but the CM also made women more politically independent by giving 33 per cent reservations in state assembly elections and 50 per cent reservations in the panchayat elections. 2. Disaster management model of Odisha which has been appreciated by the United Nations as well. The system developed after the super cyclone of 1999 worked it’s best when another such severe cyclone Phailin struck the state in the year 2013, and since then the state is the best cyclone ready state in the country. 3. The public distribution centers in Odisha avail the poor section with grains and Ahaar centers distribute cooked meal for the needy all at minimal costs which has brought down starvation due to poverty in the state.

With the implementation of many such policies CM Naveen Patnaik showed that development is possible even in extreme weather conditions. But it should also be noted that within the years inequality also rose in the state as major developments were limited to Coastal Odisha only. This could be possible because the growth in the tertiary sector of the state was mostly in the coastal regions. Another reason being mining which has also increased inequality. Studies have shown that the areas where mines are present are poorer than other areas. The reason behind this could be the fact that the major benefits obtained by mining go into the pockets of a chosen few.

The prevailing problems may indicate that people and organizations may demand betterment but the state has least politically active population contrary to the neighboring state of West Bengal where political activism within the masses remains at it’s peak mostly. A local journalist Kedar believes that Odisha has been a feudal place for centuries and thus the popular mentality of the people is that their leaders should think and do for them while they are not interested in governance etc. And this feudal system is still existent behind the veil where all major authorities like media etc., are controlled by a few families who entertain all the power.

Even after years of development, poverty is still the major problem of Odisha.’ Phanas Punji bristles at any stranger bearing even the faintest resemblance of a journalist or cameraman who might approach her. “Go away. You guys take my pictures and sell them for a price while I continue to wallow in poverty.” she says.’ reported the Indian Express on 6th September 2016.

Now the people of Odisha have started to take baby steps towards being active for the betterment of the state.

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.
