In India and all over the world corona virus is spreading because of that many people are affected and some have died. In this time students health is more important. Government has set rules that no one should go to school, all should study through online class. Students should learn their subjects through online classes because of this rules teachers took class as they were in school.  Many students were affected by their schools rules that there will be full day class an all so that government told there will be online class for three hours per day. They were conducting tests and exams through online classes. The classes will be for after two hours after the classes that students will be left free with some work. In this situation some parents didn’t allow their children to play games are watching movies and other cartoon things in television and in mobile phones. Many children are playing games and wasting their time we should schedule some time for playing and studying. Some parents joined their students in coding classes like white hat junior and many other classes through online is not a wrong way because they are not forcing if they also there is no problem the children may worry now but their future will be bright because he studied all things in computer in small age itself.  In a day that to during summer holidays it is a very helpful time to utilize anything which is possible and helpful for future studies. Each minute in this world is meaningful we cannot replace it with anything it is more valuable thing. The children’s always have a cute face they will be always active to maintain it and feel them we should allow playtime that to in this corona pandemic days we cannot allow them out but at least we can spend some valuable time with our children. Playtime just for half an hour or one hour that to not allow them to play in mobile phones or any other gadgets after that they will be fresh so that they can study their subjects any other course like toy making, cooking, gaming, karate etc.. These are some things which make their minds fresh.

Advantages of studying online classes:

• They are near their parents so they will be attentive.
• They will finish their home works correctly.
• Children have lot of time after online classes.
• Children can study well through online class.
• If there’s any doubt they can ask teacher or parents or Google.

 Disadvantages of studying online classes:

• Students cannot meet their friends.
• They cannot be as they were in school days.
• There will not be much fun the class will not be more interactive.
• Many students will not have proper network connection.
• Due to three hours phone is getting hot and easily hanged.

Online class is a best thing for students because the children are with their parents so they will be attentive in class. If the student is in school with their friends they will be talking or doing something because of the online class the children focus is in class. After online classes they are learning some things which are helpful for their future without wasting time they are learning avoiding games.

         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.

 

 

 

 

 

We are bombarded everyday with images of perfection: perfect lives, perfect bodies, perfect children, all held up for inspection via social media. these images are hard to live up to, so perhaps it is no wonder that charities warn that mental health problems are rising, especially among young people. Ut is, however, possible to take steps to protect yourself against the onslaught of perfection. One powerful weapon to develop is a positive body image, an acceptance of your body and both its good and bad points. This helps you to become confident and comfortable in your own skin.

WHAT IS BODY IMAGE?

Body image is how you see yourself physically, both when you think about yourself, and when you look in a mirror. Body image can be affected by stereotypes and beliefs, including those of the people around you as well as your own. Having a positive body image does not mean that you think everything about your body is perfect. After all ,nobody is perfect, no even supermodels. Instead, positive body image means accepting your body for what it is, celebrating your natural shape and size, and how your body performs. People with positive body image understand that personal appearance has very little to do with ability or character . They are confident and comfortable with themselves, and do not waste time worrying about their body.

DEVELOPING A POSITIVE BODY IMAGE –

Developing a positive body image ,or, helping someone else to do so, requires three key skills or characteristics:

1. GOOD SELF ESTEEM-Those with low self esteem may also have a more negative image of their bodies, because they have a generally low opinion of themselves and their abilities. Both are also linked to self confidence. Improving your self esteem requires building up your view of yourself. It means taking control of your inner dialogue, and ensuring that it becomes more positive. Instead of focusing on what might go wrong, it is important to focus on what is already good.
2. A POSITIVE ATTITUDE -The second element, a positive attitude, is closely linked to self esteem. Positive thinking is the idea that you can change your life by thinking more positively. We should try to avoid perfectionism as nobody is perfect and trying to be perfect in any sphere is only going to lead to problems in the long term. Avoid making comparisons and try to simply celebrate others’ successes as well as your own. Not rushing to judge is likely to make you kinder and pleasanter to be around.
3. EMOTIONAL AWARENESS AND SELF CONTROL, SOMETIMES CALLED EMOTIONAL STABILITY-Finally, to manage your views about your body, you need to be aware and in control of your emotions. There will be times when you see or hear things that will upset you, and affect your view of your body. At these times, you need to be able to understand what you are feeling, and why, to help you manage and master those feelings, and avoid them affecting your body image on a permanent basis.

THE BOTTOM LINE

A poor or negative body image can be starting point for serious mental illnesses, including eating disorders such as anorexia, as well as anxiety and depression. Building and maintaining a positive body image is therefore important. Learning to accept yourself and your body or even just to give yourself a break now and then is one of the most important skills for the mind.

“IT SHALL BE THE DUTY OF EVERY CITIZEN OF INDIA TO PROTECT AND IMPROVE THE NATURAL ENVIRONMENT INCLUDING FORESTS, LAKES, WILDLIFE, RESOURCES, AND RIVERS TO HAVE COMPASSION FOR LIVING CREATURES”. – ARTICLE 51-A, DIRECTIVE PRINCIPLES OF STATE POLICY. An Environment is everything that is around us, including both Living and non- Living things such as SOIL, WATER, ANIMALS, and PLANTS which adapt themselves to their surroundings. The Environment plays an important role in the existence of life on the planet EARTH! It is nature’s gift that helps in nourishing life on the planet EARTH. Environment plays an important role in HEALTHY LIVING and EXISTENCE OF LIFE in on EARTH. But, “ARE WE REALLY LIVING HEALTHY”? “ARE OUR ENVIRONMENT BEING ENOUGH PROTECTED FOR NOURISHING LIFE ON EARTH”? Well, We all know the answer of it! The way we all are living our lives so selfishly, only focusing on our personal needs, by utilising all natural resources it won’t be wrong to make a statement that we have failed to be a RESPONSIBLE CITIZEN! “RESPONSIBILITY FOR THE PROTECTION OF OUR ENVIRONMENT”. “RESPONSIBILITY FOR THE PROTECTION OF OUR MOTHER NATURE”. Here, the question that arises is that what has happened around the world that has affected our ENVIRONMENT so badly? What has caused the AIR to be IMPURE? What is making SEA LEVEL rise more and more, leading to severe FLOODS, CYCLONES, across the whole world? INDEED, IT IS CLIMATE CHANGE. Today, CLIMATE CHANGE is an accepted fact unlike a decade ago, where scientists and governments were arguing about its existence! In simple terms,. It refers to the RISE IN AVERAGE SURFACE TEMPERATURES ON EARTH. CLIMATE CHANGE is a LONG-TERM SHIFT in WEATHER CONDITIONS identified by changes in TEMPERATURE, PRECIPITATION, WINDS and OTHER INDICATORS. IS CLIMATE CHANGE REAL? There is a broad based agreement within the scientific community that CLIMATE CHANGE IS REAL. An overwhelming scientific consensus maintains that CLIMATE CHANGE is due primarily to the human use of FOSSIL FUELS, which releases CARBON-DIOXIDE and other GREENHOUSE GASES into the air. The GASES trap heat within the ATMOSPHERE, which can have a range of effects on ECOSYSTEMS, including RISING SEA LEVELS, SEVERE WEATHER EVENTS AND DROUGHT THAT Render landscapes! The UNITED STATES ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION AGENCY, THE NATIONAL AERONAUTICS AND SPACE ADMINISTRATION concur that CLIMATE CHANGE is indeed occuring and is almost certainly due to human activities. As, concentrations of Green House Gases have increased, the EARTH has warmed. Today’s INDUSTRIALISED COUNTRIES including, NEW ZEALAND have built their economies on BURNING FOSSIL FUELS to provide ELECTRICITY, TRANSPORT and to develop industries. Developing countries are now beginning to do the same!

Humans, Thus are increasingly influencing the CLIMATE and Earth’s temperature by burning FOSSIL FUELS, DEFORESTATION, USAGE OF FERTILIZERS and LIVESTOCK FARMING. Sixteen of the SEVENTEENTH WARMEST YEARS, on record have been in 21st century. Wikipedia says that though there have been previous periodics of climate change, since the Mid 20th century, humans have had an unprecedented impact on Earth’s CLIMATE CHANGE and caused change on Global change. The INTERGOVERNMENTAL PANEL ON CLIMATE CHANGE (IPCC), which includes more than 1300 scientists from the UNITED STATES, and other countries, forecasts a temperature rise of 2.5 to 10 degrees Fahrenheit over the next century. Global Climate change is projected to continue to change over this century and beyond. The magnitude of CLIMATE CHANGE beyond the next few decades depends primarily on the amount of heat trapping gases emitted globally and how sensitive the Earth’s climate is. HURRICANES WILL BECOME STRONGER, leading to CYCLONES like, TAUKTAE( the most recent one) another one, named AMPHAN and many more. ARCTIC LIKELY TO BECOME ICE- FREE, and many more.

Hence, Climate change is one of the most critical GLOBAL CHALLENGES of our times. Recent events have emphatically demonstrated our growing vulnerability to CLIMATE CHANGE. Climate change impacts will range from affecting agriculture further endangering FOOD SECURITY- to SEA LEVEL RISE, SPECIES EXTINCTIONS, and spread of VECTOR BORNE DISEASES AND DISEASES LIKE CORONAVIRUS (COVID-19) which has led to severe disruptions of our lifestyle. Hence, the issue is of immense importance for every global citizen. This is why IT REQUIRES GLOBAL INITIATIVES AGAINST IT.

THE WORLD IS ACTING NOW! MITIGATING CLIMATE CHANGE is about reducing the release of greenhouse gas emissions that are warming the planet. There have been many GLOBAL INITIATIVES to prevent CLIMATE CHANGE started by various sectors. THE UNITED NATIONS ENVIRONMENT PROGRAMME (UNEP) stimulates worldwide awareness of the Environment and enhances political attention and action through WORLD ENVIRONMENT DAY, commemorated each year on 5TH JUNE. UNEP is asking countries and governments to focus on their GREENHOUSE GAS EMISSIONS and how to Reduce them. It tries to raise voice AGAINST CLIMATE CHANGE. WORLD HEALTH ORGANISATION (WHO) is also initiating a campaign against CLIMATE CHANGE. Since 1998, ASEAN also has taken many initiatives and actions on the ground to address land and forest fires and haze pollution. To Conclude, it is now clear that initiatives to prevent CLIMATE CHANGE are started, but most importantly these initiatives must be continuous and sustainable. And every citizen will need to understand the importance of taking action on their own and contribute to prevent CLIMATE CHANGE. As LEONARDO DI CAPRIO well said: “The Argument is Over. Anyone that doesn’t believe that CLIMATE CHANGE is happening doesn’t believe in SCIENCE”.

India has a rich lexicon of traditional medicinal practices. The recent tussle between the traditional systems and modern medicine has started the debate about which is better. After the government legalized the use of some surgical methods in the traditional system, the spark became a fire and the fight between the two intensified. In December 2020 postgraduates of Ayurveda were allowed to practice specific medical surgeries through a government notification. Indian Medical Association (IMA) criticized this move and protested against it.
India is a country with strong cultural beliefs and trust in traditional ways and means. Hence people cannot be coerced to completely reject these systems. A better model would be the one where both complement each other. Take China for example. In China, both traditional along with modern medicines were used during the COVID-19 pandemic and they reported a decrease in mortality rates.
In India, six traditional systems namely Ayurveda, Unani, Homeopathy, Sowa Rigpa, Naturopathy and Siddha are recognised by the government. A dedicated ministry of AYUSH was established to formalize these traditional systems. They can be used to complement modern Allopathy because India is a densely populated country with a shortage of medical experts. Synergies between the two systems and collaborative work can help ease the burden on the present healthcare infrastructure.
Hence instead of viewing each other as arch-nemesis, they should try to work in tandem for the goal of a better public health care system. Also, there is a large population in rural India and even among the urban intelligentsia who put their faith in traditional medicines for various non-lethal medical conditions. The traditional system can help reduce the burden faced by the modern system of medicine. COVID -19 overwhelmed the hospitals and less serious illnesses were sidelined. This created discomfort for many patients. In such a situation a well organized traditional system was able to provide relief to many. Together they can reinvigorate the health care system for the benefit of the public at large.
Although only six systems of traditional medicines are recognized by the ministry there are several other systems that are lesser-known because they are practiced amongst remote communities or tribal communities. A lot of research is required to compile that knowledge. India needs to get intellectual property rights for its rich heritage. Traditional knowledge digital library (TKDL) is an initiative by the government of India to collect these hidden cultural treasures.
Lastly, the choice remains with the public. They can decide where to get treated. The role of government should be to formalize the traditional system. More solid evidence of their efficacy and therapeutic effect should be collected. This will not only win the trust of the people but also the doctors practicing modern medicine.
Also, it is important to recognize the contribution of the doctors during the pandemic. Public figures should refrain from passing sensitive comments because the country is going through a tumultuous time. Solidarity and appreciation for the compromises made by the doctors should be instilled. The differences should be kept on the back burner. Instead, emphasis on the fight against the common enemy, the Wuhan virus, should be the pivot of all discussions.

We all share the need to connect with others,no matter the age. We want a sense of belonging at home and within the community. Being accepted by peers is an important part of adolescence. Teens yearn to fit in and to be seen in a favorable light. As a result,peers often have a strong influence on teens behaviors,choices and actions. Too often, we assume peer influence is harmful. We tend to associate peer pressure with one forceful teen pushing another into doing something negative. But there are plenty of positive ways peer influence their teen counterparts.

There are five major positive types of peer pressure :

1. INSPIRING POSITIVE CHOICES- There are plenty of ways young people influence others to make good choices. For example, if a group of friends takes part in a volunteer project, it may inspire others to join in on something they may have otherwise not gotten involved. In a girl’s case,she works harder to get good grades because her peer is committed to doing well in school. They have a strong work ethic, and now so does she.
2. PICKING UP HEALTHY HABITS – Fitting in fells good. It can even help in contribute to overall health. Friends who make healthy choices for themselves may encourage your teen to do the same. Whether it’s joining the school track club, choosing a healthy option instead of junk food, or making it easier to say no in a situation where drugs or alcohol are present, peers often act as positive role models. Other times, they may use peer pressure to inspire your teen to give up established bad habits and begin new healthier ones.
3. SHARING NEW EXPERIENCES – Trying new things can be hard. It takes courage and confidence. For young people, trying something new along with friends can be inspirational. Sharing new experiences with others can make them feel more confident. Whether it’s trying out a new roller coaster, presenting a school report in front of the class, or going on a first double date, there’s strength in numbers. They may build even stronger bonds through sharing first time experiences.
4. OFFERING MORAL SUPPORT – Adolescence can be challenging as young people try to answer huge questions, like, “Who am I?” and “Do I fit in?” Good friends support each other. They try out ideas with one another before going outside their trusted circles. Or, they may learn to solve conflict together. The goal is for them to struggle through hardships and celebrate successes, together. And as they support one another through ups and downs, they build their own internal strength and resilience the power of their connections to others.
5. SOCIAL MEDIA AS A POSITIVE FORCE – When used appropriately, social media has its own benefits. Its a space for young people to quickly run ideas pat each other and gain support from one another.It can be particularly critical for teens who are isolated in their own communities, but can find peers with similar interests or struggles online.And because social media allows interactions beyond schools, homes or local communities, the idealistic youth voice can be amplified and elevated to address social problems.In other words, it’s a space for teens to further connect and make their voices heard.

Parents shouldn’t try to pick teen’s friends. Instead, they should monitor the teens as a part of a balanced parenting style. They should encourage positive friendships and connections by exposing them to a wide variety of healthy activities .By giving teens support and love while setting safe boundaries and modeling and discussing good character, we guide them to make their own , positive choices. As they learn to navigate peer culture, they’ll need to strike a balance between being themselves and fitting in. They are free to do so when parents love them for who they are and provide safe boundaries for them to explore within. the positive result? Teens who learn to think for themselves and make the most out of their connections to others as they travel the road to adulthood.

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 .

Anna Fox, a 39 old woman has been confined in her home for 10 months. The reason is that she suffers from a severe case of anxiety and a phobia, Agoraphobia. This phobia restricts her from venturing outside her house, making her believe that if she goes out, the outside world will swallow. She has a husband, Ed and a daughter, Olivia who lives with her father. Anna and Ed are divorced, and due to her condition, they just meet either in Anna’s house and communicate through phone calls. Being stuck in the house 24/7, she confines herself to unhealthy amount of alcohol and spying on her neighbors. Being a therapist herself, she offers her consultations to the patients that suffer from Agoraphobia, on Agora.com.

During many hours of such spying on her neighbors, she notices something about one of them, the Russells. They are a family of a father, mother and a son, Ethan, whom Anna notices is very well behaved and polite child. But despite being a good child, he forever seems unhappy and sad and her  heart reaches out for him.

Once, Ethan comes to her house, because he is drawn towards her and her condition. They spend some time, and due to their conversation, Anna concludes that Mr. Russell is a cruel person. After he leaves, she promises to herself to keep an extra eye on their house, since anything can happen.

After some days, Jane, Ethan’s mom, comes over to Anna’s house and they spend a considerable amount of time and Anna finds that they share similar interest and has a good time. But the next day, Mr. Russell, comes and asks Anna to stay away from his family and this increases the suspicion.

That night, Anna witnesses Jane being stabbed by someone and she panics. She wants to call the police and wants to go out and save her. But due to her Agoraphobia, she calls the police first, and tries to venture out and faints. When she wakes up, she is in the hospital, she is told that Jane was not stabbed and she is totally fine.

The police conclude that it was all a hallucination due to her condition and her medications, eventually making Anna believe it. They also uncover the tragic accident where her husband and daughter died, but she still believes they are alive. This makes them not trust Anna anymore. But when the police brings Mr. Russell and Jane to her house for verification, Anna vehemently refuses that this was Jane who came to her house, and to her shock, even Ethan agrees. She still has some doubts, when one night, she receives a mail of a picture of her sleeping. She is frightened because she lives alone and calls the police. Again, due to her condition, they think she was drunk and sent it to herself.

Ethan comes to her house late at night one day, and agreed that Jane wasn’t his mom. The Russells are his adoptive parents. The lady that Anna met was his biological mom, Katie. She had been a drunk and that’s why Mr. Russell didn’t want her in their lives. For that splitting minute, Anna feels sorry for the family. So she advices him to talk to his parents to go to the police and clear the air.

When she goes to sleep, she feels someone is watching her, and to her horror, finds Ethan with a totally different demeanor. He horribly admits that it was he who killed Katie and that he has psychopathic behavior. Mr. Russell knew about it, and helped him bury the body in their backyard. All the while, Ethan had been following Anna’s every movements and now he wants to kill her.

After a long and hot pursuit to the terrace, she manages to push him off the terrace and save herself. Only then she realizes, that Mr. Russell has been trying to save her all along.

The story is a very thrilling, crime novel which keeps us on tenterhooks until the last stretch.

The main diet focus for COVID patients is to consume foods that would help rebuild muscle, immunity and energy levels.Nutrition plays a significant role for both, the COVID-19 patients and those who are on the path of recovery. During COVID-19, the body gets weakened and it continues for days even after recovering from the symptoms. Thus, it becomes essential to consume the right kind of diet for a speedy and complete recovery of the body. Whole grains like ragi, oats or amaranth are rich sources of complex carbohydrates. Chicken, fish, eggs, paneer, soya, nuts and seeds are some good sources of protein. Healthy fats like walnuts, almonds, olive oil, mustard oil are recommended during these days. To boost one’s immunity, one should take turmeric milk once a day.

What to take and what not to

Make a plan and buy/order only what you need:

No panic buying. Assess what you already have at home and plan your intake. This way you can avoid food waste and allow others to access the food they need.

Be strategic about the use of ingredients:

Prioritise the consumption of fresh products, use fresh ingredients and those that have a shorter shelf life first. If fresh products, especially fruits, vegetables and reduced-fat dairy products continue to be available, prioritise these over non-perishables.

Prepare home-cooked meals:

If you are not run down by fever or other COVID-19 issues, it is better to prepare nutritious meals for yourselves at home. Some examples of healthy recipes with accessible ingredients may also be found below. If your city or town has the option of “contact-less” home-delivery of food where no human interaction is required, thus supporting self-quarantine and isolation measures, use that. But prioritize the items from reliable businesses that you are sure to follow strict food hygiene requirements.

Limit your salt intake:

If you use canned, frozen or processed foods, remember they can contain high levels of salt. Go easy on use of salt when cooking and when at the table for meals. Use fresh or dried herbs and spices for added flavour instead. Cut back if you use excess fats. Fats, contrary to popular belief aren’t all bad. Too much fat can cause multiple health issues like obesity, heart disease, fatty livers, etc. But the body needs a small number of healthy fats to ensure proper nutrition. Our heart also needs a bit of fat to run smoothly.

Stay hydrated:

Whether you need water to stay cool, or to flush out harmful chemicals of drugs or metabolic processes out of your body, drinking adequate water is important for you.

Eat fresh fruits and vegetables:

Every day, eat a mix of whole grains like wheat, maize and rice, legumes like lentils and beans, plenty of fresh fruit and vegetables, with some foods from animal sources (e.g. meat, fish, eggs and milk).

Consume enough fibre:

Fibre contributes to a healthy digestive system and offers a prolonged feeling of fullness, which helps prevent overeating. Eat salads, vegetables, fruit, pulses and wholegrain foods in all meals. Eat dry fruits, eggs to enhance other nutrients-intake. Proteins will help you fight COVID better.

Avoid alcohol intake :

Alcohol is not a part of a healthy diet. Drinking alcohol does not protect against COVID-19 and can be dangerous. It also weakens the immune system, its heavy use undermines your body’s ability to cope with infectious disease, including COVID-19.

The citizenship amendment act was passed by parliament on 11 December 2019, signed by Ram Nath Kovind and it was amended by the citizens in 1995. This law provides a pathway to Indians citizens for persecuted religious minorities coming from Afghanistan, Bangladesh, and Pakistan who are Hindus, Sikhs, Buddhists, Jain, Parsis, and Christians and have arrived in India before December 2014. It grants no eligibility to Muslims coming from these countries whereas the Muslims are in majority there. In Indian law, this is happening for the first time that religion had been overtly used as a criterion for citizenship. The office of the United Nations high commission for human rights called this law Fundamentally Discriminatory. This citizenship bill will be used along with NRC i.e National Register of Citizens which will render Muslim citizens stateless, as they need to prove their identity and will require documents. Even the Hindus who came to India before December 2014 will have to prove their well-founded fear and the circumstances in which they came to India. Each claim requires examination on its merit based on the individual situation.

CAA + NRC

By the 2003 amendment of the citizenship act, the National Register of Citizens is a registry of all legal citizens. In Jan 2020, Assam had implemented NRC but the BJP has promised its implementation for the whole of India following the 2019 election manifesto. So the concerns of people are that it provides a shield only to non-Muslims, but they too have to prove that they came to India because of Religious Persecution. Many leaders say that the CAA – NRC package is targeted at Muslims by considering documents as insufficient and leaving out all the Non-Muslims.

PROTEST

The citizenship act had a great impact on Indian citizens and there were large protests in India. The protests were first held in Assam and the other North-Eastern States which witnessed violent demonstrations against the bill fearing that granting Indians citizenship to refugees and immigrants can cause loss to their political rights, culture, and Land Rights. The protest was also held in the top universities of India i.e Aligarh Muslim University, Jamia Millia University. The Protest at Jamia Millia University led to brutal suppression by the police, detention of hundreds of people, and the death of several protesters. The protest also caused the suspension of local internet connectivity in certain areas. The Protest was started at Shaheen Bagh but when Bilkis Dadi, an 82-year-old woman who became the Face of the Anti-CAA Protest gave strength to all the Muslim women, and then the Muslim women came out of their houses and there was a 24/7 sit-in peaceful protest. The activists against this act are Yogendra Yadav, Kanhaiya Kumar, Akhil Gogoi (Arrested), Safoora Zargar (Arrested), Umar Khalid etc. Scholars who were against the law are Ramachandra Guha, Arundhati Roy, Varun Grover, Anurag Kashyap, etc. The bill was opposed by the INC and said that it may raise communal tensions in the country. The bill was even opposed by the CM of different states such as Punjab, Kerala, Rajasthan, Puducherry. There were even protests in foreign countries such as New York, Washington, Melbourne, Paris, Berlin, Tokyo, Amsterdam, Geneva, San Francisco, Helsinki, and Barcelona against the citizenship amendment Act and the police brutality faced by the Indian protestors.

International reactions:-

There was a report of the United States Commission on Interreligious Freedom that says that in the world there is a downward trend in religious persecution. 61% of countries out of 196 countries have religious persecution. In India, there are ⅓ states that have anti-conversion laws which are enforced against religious minorities and Dalits. According to the report, India has been put in tier 2 list which means country of particular concern. In the last decade, there is a rise in religious persecution, and religious freedom is being deteriorated.

Can the State Government Refuse the law?

The citizenship lies in the union list of the seventh schedule where Parliament can make laws on it. The state government cannot make law under the citizenship act but as 7 to 8 States are opposing this act they can pass a resolution against it which can act as a political statement.

Is this Citizenship Act Fair enough?

Back then in 2014, BJP’s Manifesto included a natural home for Persecuted Hindu refugees but if the manifesto is in contradiction with the constitution then there is no value for such a manifesto. Citizenship shouldn’t be given based on religion because it shows that there is some sort of inequality in the country. Such laws can raise communal riots between two groups of society. As we can see that due to the citizenship amendment Act there were protests which led to Delhi Riots. Using religion as a criterion for citizenship was “inconsistent with the basic structure of the constitution”. The historian Neeti Nair also commented that the Citizenship amendment act and the national register of citizens is a step towards being a “Hindu Rashtra”.

On Monday 31st may actress Juhi Chawla filed a suit in the Delhi high court against the implementation of 5G wireless networks in the country. She has raised concerns over issues related to the impact of radiation on citizens, animals, flora and fauna. Justice C Hari Shankar who was hearing this matter transferred the suit to another bench for hearing on June 2.

what Juhi Chawla has to say in her lawsuit?

Former actress and also an environmentalist filed a lawsuit stating that,

“She is not against the implementation of technology advancements” but added that the concerned departments should certify that 5g technology is safe for humans and also animals and birds. Her major concern here is first government should clear all doubts regarding the safety concerns related to 5g technology then they should proceed in implementing the technology.

status of 5g in India

5g promises to revolutionise mobile broadband and is a big generation leap over the existing 4g technology. This new technology will capable of not just guaranteeing fast internet connections but also help power IoT networks to run connected cars and homes smarter.

But 5g haven’t yet been rolled out in India tough Bharti airtel, reliance jio and vodofone idea have been given trial spectrum to test 5g technology in India. It is expected that 5g will be implemented by the end of 2021 in India.

fears around 5g radiation

The claim is that the more powerful 5g waves will emit more radiation and can cause harm to society.

Also, 5g will require more towers for better connectivity, and since it will power more than just the smartphones it will increase human exposure to such radiations. This is an extension of the idea that cellular towers that emit low-level RF-EMF fafiation are damaging our bodies. Radiation from towers, mobile phones, wifi routers is typically non-ionising radiation like radio waves, microwaves and optical radiation.

WHO’s International Agency for research on cancer has classified RF fields as possibly carcinogenic to human. But it also adds that more research is needed on this subject. They also pointed out various studies, including one conducted by the US National Toxicology Program(NTP), which proved increased cancer growth in rats after prolonged exposure to radiofrequency radiation.

Given the growing concerns, WHO is conducting a health risk assessment from exposure to radio frequencies, covering the entire radiofrequency range, including 5g. This study will be published by 2022.

Do towers negatively impact the environment?

A study done in 2017 published in the journal of entomology and zoology studies have shown that bee colonies have collapsed due to exposure to mobile phone towers and colonies near mobile phone towers were worst affected by electromagnetic radiation.

however, another study published in Science of the total environment in 2019 said more evidence was needed to establish whether such radiations poses risk to bees. It also stated other studies which have made these claims relied on unscientific methods.

Court’s judgement

The court has imposed a Rs 20 lakh fine on Juhi Chawla and called it a publicity stunt. Basic procedures were not followed by her. Under section 80 CPC it is mandatory to serve a notice before the institution of a suit against the government or against a public officer, which was not followed by her. She didn’t comply with section 91, according to which she needed to take permission from the advocate general.

The court also stated that the paragraphs in her petition were also not verified. Court also said they have abused and misused the process of law.

When there was an acute shortage of oxygen a few days ago, a new initiative was taken in Bikaner district of Rajasthan for maximum use of oxygen. ‘Oxygen Mitras’ were deputed in every COVID Care Centre of the district, so that wastage of oxygen could be prevented at maximum.

With this experiment, more than 100 cylinders of oxygen were saved every day in the district. AIR correspondent reports the Bikaner Administration prepared a plan for monitoring each bed to prevent wastage of oxygen. Under this, about 140 nursing students were deployed as ‘Oxygen Mitras’. Oxygen Mitras, deployed in three shifts of eight hours each, have been handed over the responsibility of monitoring the oxygen flow.

Keeping an eye on every bed, they maintain the flow of oxygen as per the requirement of the patient. Senior officials were given the responsibility of supervising the entire system. A team of district-level officers is deployed in the ‘War Room’ to monitor the oxygen supply and wastage through CCTV Cameras. Prime Minister Narendra Modi has also appreciated this initiative of the Bikaner administration.

In Maharashtra, the tribal community living in the villages of Sudhagad tehsil of Raigad district found it difficult to get employment during the COVID-19 imposed lockdown. They started getting grain from the government, but they were worried about what to eat with the rice or roti. The activists of Let’s Celebrate Fitness, an NGO in Navi Mumbai, came to know about this. When they enquired, the tribal community asked for oil and red chillies. To meet this simple demand, the organization appealed to the citizens of Navi Mumbai and the people of the city extended a helping hand. The organization has recently distributed 1,600 liters of edible oil and about 700 kilograms of red chillies to 7,000 families in these villages. In addition, essential items, food grains have also been provided.

This organization has been working on fitness for the last ten years. During the COVID-19 imposed lockdown period, a Yoga Session was organized by them at the Municipal’s COVID Centre in Vashi to maintain the mental health of the patients. The organization also provided food to 2,000 needy people every day. Clothing Bank, Book Bank, Utensil Bank set up by the organization provide items to the needy. Taking note of their work, Navi Mumbai Municipal Corporation has provided a storage room to the organization at Vashi Sector-9.

The main diet focus for COVID patients is to consume foods that would help rebuild muscle, immunity and energy levels.Nutrition plays a significant role for both, the COVID-19 patients and those who are on the path of recovery. During COVID-19, the body gets weakened and it continues for days even after recovering from the symptoms. Thus, it becomes essential to consume the right kind of diet for a speedy and complete recovery of the body. Whole grains like ragi, oats or amaranth are rich sources of complex carbohydrates. Chicken, fish, eggs, paneer, soya, nuts and seeds are some good sources of protein. Healthy fats like walnuts, almonds, olive oil, mustard oil are recommended during these days. To boost one’s immunity, one should take turmeric milk once a day.


What to take and what not to


Make a plan and buy/order only what you need:

No panic buying. Assess what you already have at home and plan your intake. This way you can avoid food waste and allow others to access the food they need.

Be strategic about the use of ingredients:

Prioritise the consumption of fresh products, use fresh ingredients and those that have a shorter shelf life first. If fresh products, especially fruits, vegetables and reduced-fat dairy products continue to be available, prioritise these over non-perishables.

Prepare home-cooked meals:

If you are not run down by fever or other COVID-19 issues, it is better to prepare nutritious meals for yourselves at home. Some examples of healthy recipes with accessible ingredients may also be found below. If your city or town has the option of “contact-less” home-delivery of food where no human interaction is required, thus supporting self-quarantine and isolation measures, use that. But prioritize the items from reliable businesses that you are sure to follow strict food hygiene requirements.

Limit your salt intake:

If you use canned, frozen or processed foods, remember they can contain high levels of salt. Go easy on use of salt when cooking and when at the table for meals. Use fresh or dried herbs and spices for added flavour instead. Cut back if you use excess fats. Fats, contrary to popular belief aren’t all bad. Too much fat can cause multiple health issues like obesity, heart disease, fatty livers, etc. But the body needs a small number of healthy fats to ensure proper nutrition. Our heart also needs a bit of fat to run smoothly.

Stay hydrated:

Whether you need water to stay cool, or to flush out harmful chemicals of drugs or metabolic processes out of your body, drinking adequate water is important for you.

Eat fresh fruits and vegetables:

Every day, eat a mix of whole grains like wheat, maize and rice, legumes like lentils and beans, plenty of fresh fruit and vegetables, with some foods from animal sources (e.g. meat, fish, eggs and milk).

Consume enough fibre:

Fibre contributes to a healthy digestive system and offers a prolonged feeling of fullness, which helps prevent overeating. Eat salads, vegetables, fruit, pulses and wholegrain foods in all meals. Eat dry fruits, eggs to enhance other nutrients-intake. Proteins will help you fight COVID better.

Avoid alcohol intake :

Alcohol is not a part of a healthy diet. Drinking alcohol does not protect against COVID-19 and can be dangerous. It also weakens the immune system, its heavy use undermines your body’s ability to cope with infectious disease, including COVID-19.

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.

Pollution

Pollution is the introduction of harmful material into the environment.these harmful material are called pollutants . pollutants can be natural such as volcanic ash .they are also be created by human activities,such as trash or runoff produced by factories . pollutants damage the quality of air ,water land
Pollution is the introduction of contaminated into natural environment that cause adverse change . pollution can take form of chemical substances or energy such as noise heat or light pollutants can either be foreign substances energy or natuarly occuring contaminates.hi

Burning fossil fuels release gases and chemical into the air and in an especially destructive feedback loop ,air pollutant not only contribute to. Chemical change but it also exacerbated by Air pollution in the form of carbon dioxide and methane raises the earth temperature.

“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.

“STOPPING POLLUTION IS THE BEST SOLUTION”

“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.

Recently Spain accused morocco of “blackmail” over the Ceuta migrant surge and issues between Morocco and Spain is increasing as every day passes and could result in a diplomatic crisis between both countries. This issue caught headlines when 8000 people started migrating towards Ceuta.

where is Ceuta?

Ceuta is a coastal city in North Africa that belongs to Spain which also shares a border with morocco. Ceuta has become a flashpoint for migrants from Morocco seeking to enter Europe. Last year around 2200 seek shelter in Ceuta. Ceuta has a population of 85000 and is connected to mainland Spain through ferry services.

How it all started?

When Morocco captured a huge land of western Sahara after a war in 1975 that made its neighbours mainly Algeria, Libya angry and they showed protest against morocco over this invasion. Since then there has been a conflict, neighbouring countries raised a libration group in western Sahara aimed to make Sahara independent from morocco and because of this morocco government is facing difficulty in administering Western Sahara.

The main reason for recent friction between both countries is Western Sahara. What happened is that the leader of the Polisario Front ( liberation group in western Sahara), Brahim Ghali was admitted to a hospital in Spain for his treatment of covid, which made morocco very angry because Brahim Ghali is the reason behind instability in western Sahara and also the one who is leading a libration group in Sahara.

Morocco expressed its anger by threatening Spain of consequences if Spain let Brahim Ghali get treatment in a hospital in Spain. For which Spain replied that “we support you on western Sahara issue but we cannot deny treatment to Brahim Ghali”. When Spain didn’t listen to the government of morocco then morocco decided to open its borders and allow the migrants who want to leave morocco, to seek refuge in Europe. The main strategy of morocco was to let a huge number of people enter Spain through Ceuta and create a refugee crisis in Spain.

It can be said that one man Brahim Ghali, unknowingly, has created a refugee crisis between morocco and spain.

Stance of Spain

Spain has accused morocco of wanting to create a refugee crisis in their country and also blamed them for wanting to collapse the economy of Spain. Spain is not ready to take such a huge number of migrants into their country but has offered some of the migrant’s shelters. European Union has also expressed its concern regarding this crisis and also said it’s not possible to absorb such a huge amount of migrants in this time of the pandemic. Spain has also threatened morocco with military action if they continued to send migrants in huge numbers.

condition of migrants

Now because of the tension between the two countries, poor migrants who only want a place to live are being used as pawns for blaming each other by the two countries neither of them is willing to take them in. These migrants do not have a place to sleep and food to eat. This situation is the worst example of the condition of refugees of the whole world.

This whole crisis can end if both the countries show a little humanity for the migrants and handle this situation maturely.

“NATURE IS THE BEST TEACHER” it gives us everything but we humans forget to take care of it and we destroy it. Nature gives us fresh air which is important to everyone in our life. But we pollute it by means of transport, industrialization etc… We should try our best to avoid it and keep our surrounding clean and hygiene so that we can save our life as well as nature. We should start the change within ourselves so that others will follow it.

When we preserve our nature it will keep us safe and healthy. No harm or disease will spread when we take care of it . When we take care of our nature it will take care of us Due to pollution many gets affected due to harmful disease.
Air pollution,Water pollution affects nature and our world.We should avoid that so that we can live a life where there is no harm to our life and our world.We should use vehicles only when they are in use so that we can reduce pollution and we can breath good air instead of polluted air. We should plant saplings everywhere and make our mother earth fresh. “COLORS ARE THE SMILE OF NATURE”
In these days we should take care of ourselves because of the covid virus. Many died because of insufficient oxygen in their body and our country is out of oxygen cylinders. We should do what maintains our oxygen level and we get oxygen from trees so we should plant trees and save our life’s in future. We should wash our hands and wear masks whenever we go out. So that we can escape from the corona virus. We should stay safe and stay healthy.
“green” environment—one with trees and leaves. Most of the studies say that kids who play outside are smarter, happier, more attentive, and less anxious than kids who spend more time indoors.
It builds confidence-There are infinite ways to interact with outdoor environments, from the backyard to the park or lake, and letting your child choose how he treats nature means he has the power to control his own actions.
It promotes creativity and imagination- This unstructured style of play also allows kids to interact meaningfully with their surroundings. They can think more freely, design their own activities, and approach the world in inventive ways.
It teaches responsibility-Living things die if mistreated or not taken care of properly, and entrusting a child to take care of the living parts of their environment means they’ll learn what happens when they forget to water a plant, or pull a flower out by its roots.
It makes them think- Louv says that nature creates a unique sense of wonder for kids that no other environment can provide. The phenomena that occur naturally in backyards and parks everyday make kids ask questions about the earth and the life that it supports.
It reduces stress and their mind will be free.According to the Attention Restoration Theory, urban environments require what’s called directed attention, which forces us to ignore distractions and exhausts our brains. In natural environments, we practice an effortless type of attention known as soft fascination that creates feelings of pleasure, not fatigue.
