We are now trapped due to lockdown but we all are creating some new things everday. Some became chef during lockdown and having fun. But what about those who doesn’t have enough money to survive their lives. Yes, they are not happy. Yes, they fight everday to fulfill their needs. Yes, they starve everyday. Yes, they fight for death everyday. Yes, they struggles a lot but not get respect, money, can’t afford anything. Yes, they are laborers or sewer cleaners or sweepers. Sewer cleaners life is a hard life. The practice of manual scavenging involves workers physically entering sewers or septic tanks to clean out excreta. The work has historically been connected to Dalit communities in India, making its prevalence not just a question of capability but also one of social mores. But now they are jobless due to lockdown. But why to enter in it just like other countries we can also provide some machines which can automatically clean the sewage system that’s how they’ll do their work and no shortage of money wiuld be there. Entering into it is very dangerous for the person because of germs. And yes its a hell. Helping them by providing some kind of new technologies and that would be more beneficial to the person and for the country.

A labour who works a lot but now they are jobless due to lockdown. No money, no food. So donating some money will help them a lot. Donation is one of the biggest solution.

Here are many people who are not having enough money to have food or for medicine or for hospital charges.

Many schools and universities have switched to online mode for education of their students. However, one question still remains whether the economically weaker section of the society will be able to keep pace with the technology. The migrants are jobless and farmers are in distress. They used to sustain their lives on daily wages and somehow managed to educate their children. Now, with the outbreak of Covid-19 the question arises of how these kids will avail education.

There has been a huge divide in India when it comes to education. Ed-tech may be able to provide good education but it can not be afforded by everyone at least for now. Millions of students studying in government schools and colleges specially from poor economic backgrounds have lost access to education. Though people argue that online courses bridge the gap between economically stronger and weaker sections of society, the question here is of accessibility to technology. Technology has become accessible to many people but it is still not accessible to many rural parts of the country. As per National Sample Survey report on education 2017-18, less than 15% of the rural parts of India have access to the internet, whereas for urban areas the percentage is 42%. The economically weak cannot afford internet or smartphone or a computer. 

Thus the poor students are hit hard by this pandemic because they can be left behind with this sudden change in teaching pedagogy. Many poor families used to send their children to schools because they were assured that their children would get a mid-day meal. They believed that school was a safe environment for them. Many poor students do not have such facilities like their private rooms in which they can study. The houses in rural areas are not very spacious and sometimes lack basic amenities. Therefore, even if the students get access to the internet there will be another challenge of whether they will have the right environment for studies.

Impact on education of Girls

This may have an impact on the education of girls. Many poor people have a laid back attitude when it comes to education of girls. This problem of accessibility of education has further added to the problems of education of girls. This may increase the drop out rate of girls. 

Challenge of learning in English rather than their native language

The other challenge is providing them education in the language they understand. Many ed-tech platforms are not available in vernacular languages. The students should be able to connect to their teacher through these platforms. However, many government schools and colleges don’t have the infrastructure for this connectivity and building this infrastructure right now will incur huge costs. The schools will have to invest in digital infrastructure as well training of the teachers and they lack funds for these changes. 

Electricity Issue

Even if the students tackle all the above barriers there is one more barrier which comes in way of their education and that is electricity. Though the government, through the Subhagya scheme, claims that 99.9% of Indian households receive electricity, the question is about their quality. The electricity connection is poor in major parts of the country. Electricity is very crucial for digital learning because digital devices operate on it. This leads to more cost in accessing education.

What can be immediate solution for this?

For short-term the government schools should explore other options like radio and TV. Most preferably the government can work out something with radio. It can be like setting some local frequencies for an area like one frequency for Gujarat students where they can learn in their native language gujarati. This may help them in accessing education till the situation improves. The government should ensure that lack of access to internet should not lead to digital divide.

We are in the midst of a catastrophe. So much has been happening around lately that it has become really difficult to cope up. In the middle of this hardship, we often forget how badly our mental health can be affected. There are people who have anxiety problems, maybe depression, having a pattern of excessive overthinking , is stuck because there is no one to show them a positive viewpoint. Sometimes people who don’t undergo such vexatious things are so busy in their own little world with the petty issues that they often tend to forget to help the people who are actually undergoing agony.

Hope is the most important part of any individual’s life. Hope can be for anything, a hope for a good future with a better job, a hope for a person who thinks you are worthy enough to spend a lifetime with, a hope of getting good grades, a hope of owning a house one day, a hope to travel the world, a hope to build an empire and several more. Hope is the thing that keeps us going. Sadly, in the middle of this crisis, there are many of us who had lost their hope, desire, confidence. They think so low of themselves sometimes that they start to loath themselves which someday can even lead to taking their own lives.

Everyone needs a supporting hand whenever they feel low. A right person or right guidance at the time of darkness can bring a ray of sunshine in anybody’s lives. So it is very important to have a heart that is ready to give. One doesn’t need to do some extravagant things for being that ray of hope. It is the small gestures that count.

Appreciate such people once in a while. Ask them what is bothering them and talk to them about it. Give them time. Tell them how their dreams and goals are waiting to be fulfilled. Tell them of how worthy they are of every ounce of love. Tell them how their presence affects your life. Tell them that they are beautiful in their own ways. Tell them they are perfect and need not change for somebody but themselves.

Be a ray of hope for someone. You don’t know you might just make someone’s day better with your tiny gestures.

How many one of us remember those pictures of farmers cultivating a field and distressed kids looking after the field? Or a child dreaming about entering a normal school for learning new things and exploring about the world? Well, some of the dreams have come true and rural India is improving when it comes to education as a whole. With new schools opening in the villages and Government schemes being implemented properly, the results are astonishing.  But there is still a way to go before the urban-rural gap of education is limited.

The purpose of education is to keep oneself updated about the present day situation. Literate and educated people help in keeping the economy blooming and are actually a pre-requisite for developing economy. Education in rural India has improved a lot where earlier this section was on the verge on being ignored due to multiple factors. Today, younger generation is actually surpassing their parents when it comes to being educated in rural areas. An astonishing yet powerful transformation has taken place and there is indeed a rising trend of education in rural India.

According to multiple surveys, there is a rise in students going to schools but the plight of the educational quality is questionable as there still exist a problem of low learning among the students. Whose fault is it? Is it because of lack of teachers or are teachers not able to deliver lectures properly?

Let’s explore some of the reasons of why rural education is still not prominent enough to be counted as an example for an ideal educational system.

• Inadequate Infrastructure: One of the major reason of lacking quality education is due to poor infrastructure of schools in rural India. There is lack of expert teachers and hence the knowledge that is imparted to students is not up to the mark.
• Schemes not implemented properly: The Government tries to make laws and schemes to up skill rural India but somewhere those schemes are not implemented properly on the ground level and there is still lack of transparency on who is to be blamed.
• Employment opportunities: With the current unemployment rising, if an educated person does not end up in having a good job or experience, it sets a negative example on fellow people of rural India and they see education their children as a waste of money. With their investment not giving fruitful results, this also leads to not sending their other children to schools in future.
• Lack of number of schools: Though the number of schools at various geographical location in rural India has improved, there is still lack of schools at multiple location. The roads to schools are also not in a good state and students have to cross hurdles to reach. This problem restricts girls going to schools after a point as they face some physical changes and lack of proper sanitation and required commodities.

“Padega India, Tabhi toh badega India”

(When people of India will get educated, India as a country will prosper).

(Picture source: https://encrypted-tbn0.gstatic.com/images?q=tbn%3AANd9GcQrOjGmFEVYr_0e9zXiRUt7hUZwyQ001UJscc6JZC9cHQkhgtkI&usqp=CAU )

This is definitely true. With advancement of technology and economic development, there is always a bright future in store for rural communities. When rural India will progress, ultimately the whole India will progress and it has to start with quality education, innovative methods used in teaching, use of edutech tools and technologies and proper implementation of multiple schemes.

In this advanced age, about each study room in schools can get to the Internet. A few educators utilize the Internet with each task while others adopt an alternate strategy. Likewise with any training strategy, study room Internet utilization accompanies the two favorable circumstances / advantages and drawbacks / disadvantages.
A significant advantage of the Internet is the capacity to get to a wide range of data from library assets everywhere throughout the world, including magazines, books, papers and diary distributions, immediately. This data builds the learning potential by giving students the most recent data. It likewise extends the assets of a littler library colossally. Students utilizing web indexes can discover data snappier and increasingly custom fitted to their particular needs.
As a disadvantage, teachers may consider this data over-burden. With the entirety of the data accessible to students, they may think that its hard to pick which data is generally critical to a point and furthermore when to quit looking. Likewise, the legitimacy of Internet sources fluctuates extensively from site to site, which implies students can without much of a stretch obtain mistaken or out-dated data on the web.
Online instruction gives students the comfort of going to class and finishing assignments on their own plan. Students can take classes from a school or college not even close to their home and get training experience not accessible to them locally. Students who travel with an occupation can take a class in a house, lodging or cafe. Students save money on lodging, gas cash and travel costs.
Be that as it may, online training implies eye to eye guidance doesn’t exist, nor does the capacity to get moment criticism on class assignments much of the time. They likewise can’t hear inquiries from different students (or pose inquiries themselves), which frequently can offer explanation to a student battling with the ideas of the material.
The Internet permits students to meet individuals from everywhere throughout the world at the snap of a catch.
While these open doors give incredible subtleties and assets, they likewise can harm social abilities. Students who answer essentially on the Internet for data and collaboration don’t converse with individuals face to face so a lot; rather they simply email to and fro. This can make it difficult to create listening aptitudes, particularly while talking with somebody, or to gain fitting social abilities for eye to eye associations.

One of the biggest question that confront is to decide whether to go for self – study or for private coaching. Personally I feel that self – study is the best option for every student because without self – study it is very difficult to clear any examination. The main reason behind this thinking is that coaching also involves a remarkable amount of self – study. Another reason to go for self – study ids the confidence factor involved in it. Successful self – study may give us an incredible amount of confidence to deal with any kind of subject. There are many students who have cleared their exams quite easily jist by doing self – study and some of the students who have taken coaching ar still struggling. So, the main decisive factor is our honest efforts and commitment towards our preparation and nothing else. Another reason to go for self – study is money saving. We waste lot of money on private coaching, evn then we are not able to score good marks, the reason being, that our mind has limited capturing power. We go to school in the morning so we wake – up early, we spend around six hours there, then we come back home and take lunch, we do our homework (school/coaching) and go for coaching . where is the time for our mind to rest? Our mind too is a machine that needs some peace/rest. We waste a lot of time and money whereas we can spend both on ourselves by doing self – study. Actually even private coaching is incomplete with self – study. But the point is, some students find coaching usefull it is systemized our preparations which many students are unable to do themselves. On the contrary we may find our times being wasted only on a few chapters as coaching works according to entire batch and not as per an individual. So, in context of the above views I thing self – study is more important than private coaching. We can achieve our goals without private coaching but not without self – study.

For a long time, the farmers have been distressed. From harsh nature to corrupted humans, they have to deal a lot in their lives. The Covid-19 pandemic destroyed the supply chains and thus devastated the business of many farmers who grew fruits and vegetables. 

To provide some relief to farmers, the government came with three reforms

• Ammendment of Essential Commodities Act 1955.
• Enabling Contract farming.
• Relaxing Agriculture marketing rules.

Ammendment of Essential Commodities Act 1955

There are many products that are categorised as essential commodities and therefore their prices and quantities are regulated by government. The government has now ammended this act and deregulated cereals, edible oils, oil seeds, pulses, onions and potato.

Enabling Contract Farming

This reform was passed as ‘The Farmers (Empowerment and Protection) Agreement on Price Assurance and Farm Services Ordinance, 2020’. We are all aware of how businesses hedge their risks by entering into contracts. Now, this model of contract can be used in farming also. Farmers can now enter into contracts with the buyers and get an assured amount for their crops. This will enable them an assured income.

Relaxing Agriculture marketing rules

Out the the three reforms this reform is the most appealing one. The government passed this reform as ‘The Farmers’ Produce Trade and Commerce(Promotion and Facilitation) Ordinance,2020′. This ordinance not only frees farmers from many barriers but also gives them exemption from taxes and fees. 

The existing system:

In the current system farmers had to sell their crops in mandis aka APMC (Agriculture Produce Marketing Companies). APMCs were formed by state government to ensure that farmers get fair price on their farm produce and these APMCs are governed by the APMC Act. The farm produce is brought to the market and sold through auction. Only licensed traders can operate within the market and private ones are not allowed to buy directly from the farmers. These licensed traders used to form a cartel and thus farmers had to sell them at  very lower prices. Under this system, only those traders who registered with that market can purchase from the farmers of that market. So, a trader from Gujarat will not be able to purchase from a mandi in Delhi unless he is registered there. The recent ordinance removed this barrier and thus allows farmers to sell their crops to any buyer. 

This open ups the opportunity for private players to enter the market. However, these private players will have to incur capital expenditure in form of establishing a system to procure farm produce. They will compete against the existing system of APMC and thus it is not going to be easy for the new entrants. They will have to setup a physical infrastructure (a private mandi) which enables them to weigh, sort and grade the farm produce. This mandi should also be near to the farm-gate.

Without any doubt these reforms are a step towards prosperity of farmers. However, the farmers may not get immediate benefits of these reforms. In these times, the farmers required actions that provides them with immediate benefits. This reforms will help them in long run but when it comes to fighting the current situation, the farmers are not equipped. They needed measures which could support their family in a short time. If government does not come with any measure to give farmers short term benefits than farmers have to look for themselves. In that situation, they can only hope of some good private players entering the market immediately and thus paying them to sustain themselves.

I remember 2 months back, there was GEPIWAT (Group Exercise, Personal Interview, and Word Association Test) Process for the upcoming batch in our college and I was one of the Volunteers for the same. In Group Discussion, a panel was given the topic of “Gig Economy”.

Gig Economy is a new concept where provisional, flexible jobs are commonplace and companies tend toward hiring independent contractors and freelancers instead of full-time employees. This gives workers greater control of their time, money and lives.

During that period the concept had a more positive side to it. For instance, delivery guys used to get paid according to their one-day work or on payment on flexible bases. It is used by a lot of companies such as Oyo, Airbnb, Ola and Uber to name a few. This also means role reversal easily. A person can become a car driver for a month and choose food delivery for next depending upon the demand. It somehow gave more power to the worker as a whole.

But considering the current situation, the tables have turned. Workers who were provided with multiple opportunities are forced to stay at home due to the unavailability of jobs. Instead of finding one role. They are sitting idle. With India amid a 21-day lock-down, demand has collapsed at transportation and hospitality marketplaces.

There is a myth among the masses that gig economy work is usually the one that has less return on investment and people who are a part are actually paid less.  But the truth is that if a person is cultivated by the right skill set, they are bound to get more stipend even at times compared with full-time employees. For instance, With the advancement of technology and automation taking the world, deep learning jobs stand as one of the highest paying jobs. The professionals need the right skill set and knowledge of technological tools and programming languages. It is then followed by another interesting job that is the one in the field of cryptocurrency. Some other fields include robotics, data analysts, AWS, coders and developers etc.

When times are good, marketplaces see their valuations soar as they attract large amounts of capital, a fraction of which goes to their drivers and suppliers. When the bad times come, platforms simply wait for them to pass, leaving workers and suppliers to foot the bill.

Surely this is an important question to consider. The gig economy has left workers vulnerable to risk in this pandemic. Is it better than the traditional form of employment?

We all know about the donation but what if it could not save the lives. Money donations are right because money is the important source of our lives. But beside this there are more donations which you can go through like blood donations or making some useful things from the old clothes. Helping the kids in orphanage. Making yourself with the first volunteer planning about what to do for them and what to make for them. Making some toys with the old clothes that would be more beneficial or giving them an education so that they can also learn about what is happening in this world, learn about faith, love, wisdom, sincere, sacrifice, success, helping others.

Blood donations

Blood is donated when a person is in need of it. It may be of a whole blood and may be a part of it.

Who can donate blood

You can donate blood if you are eligible to donate blood with having good health. A proper test has been done it sees that whether you are capable of it or not.

Who cannot donate blood

You will be denied if your blood tests positive for: HIV-1, HIV-2, human T-lymphotropic virus (HTLV)-I, HTLV-II, hepatitis C virus, hepatitis B virus, West Nile Virus (WNV), and T. pallidum (syphilis). Blood donation is actually a quick and easy way to get tested for all of these things.

How you can donate blood

You must be 18 years old and above not less than 18. Should be healthy and not having any internal problem. Find a local blood bank.

Here is a hero who just save a 14 years old girl’s life without hesitation by donating blood

A Mumbai cop who just save a life of a girl by donating blood. When the lockdown had trapped us tight and cyclone nisarga threatened to shake our world. He was on duty then found her family helpless due to cyclone and covid 19. So always be a volunteered. Donate to the needed people if you can like Donate Sadaqah.

Helping with old clothes by making soft toys and be a volunteer

We all are having old clothes which we sometimes threw them but we can you it and can make some different things. You can make a small bag from that or make a soft toy by filling cotton inside it and distribute/ donate the owner of orphanage.

When to give

You can give as per choice or when asked on a monthly basis. So by this always be a volunteer. A volunteer needs a time initiating and how to be innovative how much skills you can share how much you are passionate about and how much time you can give in this. A quote which inspired us all by National volunteer and philanthropy centre that think about the cause you are passionate about, how much time you can commit and the skills you can share when considering volunteering .

To ‘lead’ connotes the idea of taking charge and leading the way. Leading a healthy lifestyle might be reckoned as an arduous work- from making the right eating choices, the workout sessions, the inner happiness! but it shows that one is ready to take command over their life choices. In addition to that knowing exactly how to go about the entire healthy lifestyle regime, makes this whole process easy-peasy and a bit more fun.

For starters, knowing about your body is extremely important before going on a nutritional therapy or following a particular diet plan that you’ve seen on the internet, heard from a friend (as a matter of fact anyone) etc. Each person is bio-individual meaning, a weight-reduction regime that works for me might not necessarily work for the other person. Certainly there are a few things that everybody has to follow, for instance eating a little less but not skipping a meal, making healthier eating choices such as eating lots of fruits and green veggies, physically exerting your body etc. Apart from that the categories of foods that are ‘beau idéal’ may differ a bit.

Leading a healthy lifestyle is not solely about physical fitness; it is about being mentally and emotionally healthy too. Being physically fit is just a portion of your overall healthy lifestyle. Having a positive attitude or mindset, and surrounding yourself with people who’ll provide you with constructive criticism could uplift your energy and boost your inner strength.

Along with an endomorph diet plan, physically exerting your body is also important. Your workout sessions need not be intensive but nevertheless you should be regular, that is you should workout for at least thirty minutes everyday. Set a target everyday and then accomplish it, using fitness applications and smart watches can help you achieve the target that you’ve set for yourself.

The most essential aspect of leading a healthy lifestyle is self-care, for me my so called eleven step Korean skin care routine is the best way to forget about my worries and appreciate myself. For others it might be reading, gardening, sketching etc. Always take some time out for things that make you feel happy, things that you are passionate about, something that sends you to the world of ecstasy. Another way to improve your mental health is to do yoga, meditation to be more precise. Meditation is a persistent process of priming your mind to focus and redirect your thoughts, it makes you aware of your surroundings and increases your concentration power. It is a great way to increase your will power, which will ultimately help you in the long run and also it will help you in disciplining yourself. Yoga itself is very beneficial for your body, it is a tool that harmonizes your body and mind.

Keeping up with a healthy lifestyle is not that strenuous, nor does it call for a great deal of work. Just keep doing what you do with determination and patience, as the say in Korean ‘fighting’ which means keep up the good work and you’ll surely become a versatile individual.

In this pandemic, the world has come to a halt. With ‘Ramayan’ serial broadcasted on Doordarshan has garnered a lot of attention and depicting Indian culture, the show has clearly shown some instances of the history allowing one to ponder over the past. Students being given education and life lessons under the banyan tree is one of them. How has education changed since then? Is there a shift in the context of teaching or all together the methodology has changed? This article will let one to think on some of these aspects and will give us a new dimension in the way learning has been obtained.

Let’s begin by knowing the difference between learning and education, the two words are often used interchangeably. In simple terms, education is imparting of knowledge and ideas whereas learning is how much one has gained after being educated. For instance, when a ten-year-old is given tips on how to score a goal in football, he is being educated. But how much he has understood and gained actually is called learning.

In the recent past with advancement of technology, education has been formally transferred to students in schools, universities and colleges. The typical mode of delivery was a teacher standing in front of bunch of students and teaching with the help of a blackboard. After sometime when internet reached schools, e-learning and videos were shown to the students in classes for experiential learning. Informally, it is now being spread with the use of internet such as how to bake a cake, how to make a doodle, how to make a pony-tail or in fact how to raise a child. The online means of transferring knowledge is now being used globally helping both tutors as well as learners. It is becoming more popular among working professionals, students and other learners as they find immense convenience in the autonomy and flexibility that the courses offer.

With the free flow of information, there are multiple risks also associated leading to degradation of education system as a whole. One of them is the invalidity to differentiate between what is right and what is wrong. A fact-check is not something that people are familiar with and most of them fall for the manipulative information that is visible to their eyes.

Now with the amalgamation of offline and online learning, learners are able to upskill themselves and are trying to stand out from the crowd. Discussion forums via email tools, video conferencing and video lectures and live lectures are all possible through web. The craze for e-certificates has hit the new generation with multiple educational websites offering online courses and sessions. On a brighter side, the existing situation has given multiple options to learners to decide their tutors. If someone is not comfortable with one particular teacher, they can easily switch to another one. The previous attitude of learning within classroom walls is no longer relevant and slowly the fact that learning practical is more effective than gaining theoretical knowledge is being acknowledged by the masses.

The dissemination of knowledge is bound to happen and let’s hope in the coming future, there will be more creative and innovative ways for it. At the end, I would like to say that:

“A baby born is like a clay. It is the insights that they get from grasping education that gives them an opportunity to become whatever they want to be and shapes their future.” 

When the world is fighting a deadly pandemic, the migrant workers of India have a fight of their own. It is fight of their survival. The rule of this world is simple and that is, the weak gets taken. When many people were exploring their hobbies in their home during lockdown, these migrant workers were struggling to find their way back to home. They walked miles to reach their home and many lost their precious lives because of it.

For them before fighting Covid-19, the fight of their survival was important. After a long time of ignoring their problems, the government finally appears to have woken up by announcing some measures to reduce the plight of the migrant workers.

Some of the measures announced by it are as follows:

• Rs. 3500 crore food support programme.
• An allotment of additional funding of Rs. 40000 crore to NREGA scheme.
• Plan to provide them with affordable housing so that they are able to come back to cities.

Apart from these measures, the measure which will definitely make a lot of effect will be direct benefit transfer to these workers. This will help them to sustain themselves and atleast fulfill their basic needs. The aforementioned measures are also effective but they won’t solve the problem these workers are facing right now. These workers are in a devastating situation and some amount of direct transfer can cure their pain.

The ripple effects of their problem

The migrant workers will reduce the spending on education of their children. They will also not travel long distances in search of some work. Their will an increase in interstate migration and a drop in long-distance inter state migration. 

Starving for food

Without a day job these migrant workers are fighting persistent hunger. Some of them, mostly children, are facing a condition called “wasting” a sign of acute malnutrition and chronic hunger. The landless families that are dependent on day job are covered under federal food security scheme and normally gets 20kg of rice and wheat every month. The government, expanded this federal food security scheme and provided extra 20kg of grains for free. However, many of them can not avail this benefit because of absence of their Aadhar data in the database. In such circumstanes, they have hopes on wages from rural jobs scheme so that they can sustain their families. However, the problem with scheme is that there are many hands and few work which makes the situation more vulnerable for them.

The problem with rural jobs scheme like NREGA is that there is work for one or two weeks and then there is nothing for two to two and a half months. This uncertainty adds to the plight of the workers. Also a unique feature of this scheme is that the workers are not paid on daily basis but according to the earthwork done by them. Suppose if a person completes earthwork equivalent to 80 cubic feet in a day then, he /she will receive a day’s wage of Rs. 202. Also, the maximum permitted number of days to work are 100. The government has not made any changes for now on this limit.

The order of Supreme Court

The Supreme Court has ordered the Central and State Government to drop all the cases against migrant workers to break lockdown and also facilitate their return home in next 15 days so that they can be provided with ration, food and jobs in the next phase.

Many actors like Sonu Sood and Amitabh Bachchan have come ahead to support these migrant workers. All they need is some support. Kindly, support them in which ever way you can.

The situation of the poor has always been worse in our country as government promises many things but how much has been actually applied can’t really be tracked. As a result, we can see that our country still comprises of 70% poor population. People at an individual level can only be a part of making a change in poor people’s lives but they alone cannot bring back lives of all the poor people on track. To make a big and noticable change we need a solid body to take the command for this. And I look upto NGOs for this.

HOW NGOs CAN IMPROVE THE LIFE OF POOR PEOPLE?
1. NGOs has the power to speak to the government about several issues and they can speak about poverty too as they have recognition in society.
2. Also, many big business men prefer donating tremendous amount of money to the NGOs instead of distributing it separately to the poor households, so, an NGO can use that money to improve the lives of poor.
3. As we know how much education or skills means these days and how it changes a person’s life, NGOs can also teach and make poor kids learn new skills with the help of those people who loves to be associated with social work. They can just ask them to do the teaching work for these poor children and they would do it with all their heart.
4. NGOs can create a good PR with different industries to get donations and human resources for free to help improve the situation of poor people and they have high possibilities to get success by this step as every industry needs to fulfill CSR in order to gain goodwill in the society.

ROLE OF NGOs IN THE CURRENT SITUATION.
During this time of pandemic, as we can see how much problem a poor is facing, NGOs have a huge responsibility if they call themselves “social workers”.
1.They need to make shelters for the homeless
2. They need to make sure all migrants reach their home safely
3. They need to fight for the labours to get work post pandemic
4.They need to make sure each one has the necessities for the precaution during this time.

RESPONSIBILITIES OF NGOs
1. NGOs must be accountable to the public and must submit the report publicly in order to ensure the society that they are actually working and improving the situation.
2. They should be checking on to the people even after they are done helping them. As we don’t just want to help them for a moment but to ensure that their life has actually improved and still improving for the better.
3. They should pressurise government while also maintaining good terms with them for the smooth functioning and attainment of the goal.

An individual can initiate a change but to make it a revolution he needs many people to support him and his cause, but people tend to support only those who have recognition in the society and NGOs are one of the recognisable bodies hence, they can gather a huge support if they ask, or some support even if they don’t ask. These all reasons make an NGO able to bring about a change in poor people’s lives and I hope they perform their duty well and wish that not just a change but we get to see a revolution.

1. Social media

So this the number 1 platform where you can easily give your contribution. Like you can easily donate from apps which are helping the poor people. In facebook there is number of pages for donating. Also, emails instagram where could one donation will help them a lot. And helping those needy people will make you happy.

2. Donation

Donations can be number of types like cash donations, clothes donations. So if you are having old clothes you can easily gave them to wear. Just don’t through them you can donate to those who are not having clothes to cover themselves. By this they will have a smile on their face.

3. Education

Education is must required for everyone but some poor people couldn’t afford it so there is a free education system for those people who wants to study. Poor People just dream to study in schools but they can’t now what we can do is as a part time for us non beneficial we could start teaching those poor people. Giving them proper information about anything they want. They’ll learn lot of new things some basic things in our daily lives and that too will remove the poverty also.

4. Donate groceries

As they are not having enough money to buy food and sometimes remains in hunger. So here you can also donate groceries/ eatable items so they don’t feel helpless.

Ways to donate food:

* Directly to your local food bank – find the nearest one.

* Add collection points in supermarkets across the country.

* By hosting a collection at your school/ universities/ temple/ church/ business/ friends for your local food bank

5. Financial help

“Being rich is having money; being wealthy is having time.” — Margaret Bonnano. Money is an important part of financial freedom. But it’s simply a vehicle to pursue living your best life. You can always make more money but you can’t make more time.

Though we all know that money is soo important part of our lives. Helping those needy by financial support. Give some charity so that they can also live happy like us. Support them with some amount of money. Giving a small loans so that they can open their own business and can feed themselves. As if financial support is their one can easily be helpful from the hospitals and buying the medicines which are expensive and poors can’t afford it they can also save the life of their lovedones.

So here were the some tips that cou

Education is a form of learning where we can see the transmission of knowledge, skills from generation to generation.21st century is also regarded as century of technology. Technology brings education to student’s doorstep.

Technology in education can be classified as:

1. Technology as learning tool.
2. Technology as teaching tool.
3. Technology as tutor.

Technology is an opportunity to design meaningful learning experiences.

History:

It goes back to many years to know about technology in education. At the end of world war-II US started using projectors.

Digitalized communications and networks in education started in mid 1980’s. 

In fall of 2015, more than 6 million students enrolled in atleast one online course and still the count is growing rapidly.

Role of ICT in Education:

Information and communication technology (ICT) plays a major key role 

for students today as it has a significant and good effect on student success and learning. ICT includes television, computers, internet etc. when used appropriately and in a good way it can strengthen and raise quality of education. This ICT includes databases, spreadsheets, statistical, and graphical programs, etc. It is also likely that science and technology teachers are better trained and equipped.

Advantages of technology in education:

• Technology helps students in preparing in their future career either in academics and non academics.

(Includes online books, exams, course, etc.)

• It helps students to learn there own interests which helps in developing their individuals.
• Easily accessible to learning materials.

(As present world is running around internet it is very easy to a student to access materials)

• Proper understanding of a subject by using record keeping.
• Using audio and visual materials helps students to learn things interesting.
• Accurate exam conducting and grade awarding.

Limitations of technology in education:

• Distraction to some students.

(Inappropriate websites which distracts student from there respective work) 

• Students (programmer’s) involving in cyber crime.
• Can be expensive to keep updated.
• There are some health issues too when used over limit.

Some Ways to use technology in education:

• Creating webpage includes writings, arts, quizes.

(Creating webpage helps students to learn things in creative way as it includes some writings, discussions, etc)

• Video conferencing
• Spread sheets
• Creating class newspaper

(Newspaper gives us lot of information today if it’s a classroom newspaper it is really interesting to know things around a student in class)

• Creative powerpoint presentation including picture, audio, videos.

(videos, pictures helps students to think in practical way, and it may some time leads to innovation).

Conclusion:

Technology has a very positive impact on education and should eliminate the drawbacks which are pulling back many students learning.

And it’s time for every country to include more technologically equipped education for student’s future.

An interesting question that may pop up in everyone’s mind! I am here to release some of that pressure. The Internet has become an essential part of our lives and a good understanding is needed to use this new tool most effectively. This article explains the underlying infrastructure and technologies that make the Internet work. It does not go into great depth but covers enough of each area to give a basic understanding of the concepts involved.

What is the Internet?

The INTERNET is a global system of interconnected computer networks. When two or more electronic devices (e.g. computers) are connected so that they can communicate, they become part of a network. The Internet consists of a worldwide interconnection of such networks, belonging to companies, governments, and individuals, allowing all of the devices connected to these networks to communicate with each other.

In order to communicate, computers need to be able to understand each other. On the Internet, communication is possible because all devices use the same “language” or protocol, namely the Internet Protocol (IP), a “single market” with no physical, technical or national barriers. It forms the basis for all other systems of communication on the Internet. Sending any communication over the Internet using the Internet Protocol is quite like sending the pages of a book by post in lots of different envelopes. All of the envelopes use the same sender address and the same destination address. Even if some envelopes are transported by ship and others by air, the envelopes all eventually arrive at their destination.

Examples of such conventions on top of IP are:

*SMTP for sending emails

*HTTP for accessing websites

*Bit Torrent for peer-to-peer (P2P) file sharing (a way to exchange data files with large groups of people).

Anyone is free to invent their own convention/protocol and use it on the Internet, as long as it works on top of the Internet Protocol. In other words: the only limit is the limit of the human imagination, the only rule is that the address on the envelope is in a standard format. The openness of the system is what makes the Internet the global phenomenon it is. Every restriction on the openness of the Internet reduces its potential for future development. The universal use of a single protocol for all communications has a number of important advantages. The devices that are responsible for transporting Internet data (called routers) do not need to be programmed differently to deal with different types of data – they don’t even need any information about the data they are transporting as long as it is all using the Internet Protocol.

Like the postman delivering traditional mail, they only have to look at the outside of the envelopes to be able to deliver the message. It doesn’t matter if the envelope contains a bill or a love letter (except to the recipient of course).

This leads to:

*Unlimited innovation possibilities in terms of new protocols and applications.

*“Privacy by design”: there is no need to know anything about the contents of any communication.

*Flexible, fast data flow: the Internet offers only one flexible service: getting data from one device to another regardless of the nature of the devices, regardless of how and where the devices are connected to the Internet and regardless of the nature or content of the data. It is this openness and flexibility that is the primary reason for the innovation and democratic and economic successes of the Internet.

What is an IP Address?

Because the Internet is a global network of computers each computer connected to the Internet must have a unique address. Internet addresses are in the form zzz.zzz.zzz.zzz, where zzz must be a number from 0 – 255. This address is known as an IP address. So, An IP address is a numerical address that is assigned to every device connected to the Internet. IP addresses may be used to identify an organization or individual that has acquired the services of an Internet Service Provider in order to connect one or more devices to the Internet. On the other hand, a router has only one IP Address irrespective of how many people have connected with this router. So, In this case, we cannot identify the person behind the work.

World Wide Web:

When we type any website address in the browser we use WWW keyword. Anyone ever thought what this meant for? I think many of us have thought that and many of us knew the answer. But here we are not as intelligent as them who already know the answer. So, let see what it is. WWW or World Wide Web combines text, pictures, and hyperlinks to a hypertext document – a hyperlink points to another document. It Can also contain moving pictures, active programs etc. This hypertext document is written in HTML language – Hyper Text Markup Language based on SGML (Standard Generalized Markup Language) which describes the structure of a document. WWW browser decides how to display the document based on the structure description in HTML.

What is an URL?

URL stands for Universal Resource Locator. URL is an address to the current location of information protocol. For example http://www.google.com, https://krazytech.com, etc. WWW browser uses the URL address to retrieve a document over the network.

What is an HTTP?

When we are writing a web address we are using “Http:”. What does the word HTTP stand for? HTTP (Hypertext Transfer Protocol) is a simple protocol for file transfer over the network. Client (browser) initiates the session by connecting to the server. The server does not transmit on its own. Client issues the GET command to retrieve a file from the server. Additional information is also passed. The server sends information about the file and the contents of the file.

When a user makes a request to any website the requests are served over the HTTP or HTTPS (secured) protocol and the webpage gets displayed. The time consumed to display a webpage depends on various factors like internet speed (to know your internet speed, go here), server performance, network latency, etc.

What is GOOGLE?

In our daily life, we ask GOOGLE many questions. What is GOOGLE? It is a search engine. A web search engine is a software system that is designed to search for information on the World Wide Web. The search results are generally presented in a line of results often referred to as search engine results pages (SERPs). The information may be a mix of web pages, images, and other types of files. Some search engines also mine data available in databases or open directories. Unlike web directories, which are maintained only by human editors, search engines also maintain real-time information by running an algorithm on a web crawler.

How does Google search engine work?

Here I have tried to discuss as much as possible in such a short note. Now, it depends on you how you can utilize the article. You can get a brief knowledge only by reading this. If you explore more you can find more terms about the internet like TCP, DNS, and DOMAIN etc. In our daily life, you are now using the internet. So, Keep exploring and Increase your Knowledge.

Government has launched various schemes, programs for the needy ones and right for the education schemes. So during lockdown we people are busy making variety of foods new recipes but if we look on the other side the poor ones who need soo much help from the government and from us also. Though, the government is launching schemes for the poor like the Pradhan Mantri Gareeb kalyan yojna( PMGKY) where the poor ones are getting 5 kg of rice/ wheat for three months. Other several schemes are also their for helping them. They are surviving a lot from this as they are jobless and not having a one time meal. Soo people should help them by giving a one time meal and some donations. So that they are living peacefully and they can fulfilled their needs.

On one hand, there are people who live their life lavishly. They are not only enjoying the joy of essentials but also have what they want and desire; a luxurious living providing them an extra comfort. On the other hand, there are people who cannot even afford the basic requirements of living. They do not have shelter to live, food to eat, and clothes to wear.People who have extra are living a comfortable and a posh life. While those who have barely the vitals are fighting each day for life.They fail to meet the basic requirements.

There are people who have much more than they need to live while others have barely enough to survive.

Poor people do not have enough clothing, food, education and healthcare. Being poor means deprived economically, politically and socially. They hardly get opportunities. They have inadequate nutrition, higher risk of diseases and lack access to healthcare and basic essentials for living resulting in low achievement.

One cannot make such people opulent but can at least help them achieve the essentials of life and lead a prosperous life. Helping the poor and needy people is a good deed. Caring for the poor and needy people and helping them is a noble endeavor. The more you give to poor and needy people, the more you strengthen their dependency. If you give them the chance or opportunity, you’ll see an effective and long-lasting improvement in their lives. Create a new system built on inter-dependency which motivates them to work and move forward and their dignity is maintained. Tossing out money or other kinds of donation do help the poor and needy people but the need is to direct your energies and efforts in raising them, building relationship, teaching them and moreover, regaining their self-confidence and self-esteem to work for themselves.

Social media can help a lot just by donating a portion of their proceeds. Just a portion will give them a second life donating through any charity app would help them a lot so there is proper economic development and financial
