Save Water- Are we doing enough?

By XYZ

“Water-the elixir of life’. As water scarcity is prevalent all around in the metro cities, the situation
is alarming. Water is essential for life, i.e., plant life, animal life as well as human life. Man’s
body is 70% water. It is also needed for many human activities, such as cooking and washing.

What would the future be without water? Are we doing enough to save it? Perhaps not. Human
callousness towards the misuse of water is taking him to a dungeon of its scarcity. Water
pollution is also a contibuting factor because the high level of contamination renders it unfit for
human consumption.

The need of the hour is to use it judiciously. One should utilize used water for plants. Everyone
should stop washing cars with running water. A pledge should be taken to conserve this
universal solvent. The motto of ‘Save Water -Save Life’ should be understood.

How to Channelise the Energy of Teenagers?

By Tejinder

The energy and curiosity of teenaged individuals is high and needs to be carefully directed. At
times, these young adults question their elders, sometimes even wrongly, and try to make their
own decisions. Influence of cinema and media promotes rash behaviour to be heroic.

In channelising a teenager’s energy, the parents and the mentor in schools play the most
important roles. Guidance about right and wrong things, knowledge of their culture and stories
of courage and good manners, engagement in positive and social activities apart from
academics can be encouraged. Motivate them to take part in productive hobbies, social work,
part-time jobs and sports of their interest. Art, culture and literature are also avenues for using
the youth energy. Most important of all, educational institutions should be a place where they
have the freedom to express, develop confidence and skills, and imbibe good behaviour and
discipline.

The dynamic energy of the youth needs to be channelised positively and not politically or by
media.

Stop Cruelty Towards Animals

Cruelty towards animals, both tamed and untamed, is prevalent all over the world. Those who
rear animals for commercial purposes, confine them, make them starve and hit them too. The
living conditions of these animals are pathetic and they are kept in confinement.

It is important that stringent laws are made and enforced, to protect all animals. To better
protect communities, work should be done to increase public awareness of these crimes.

The simplest action is for people to take care of their own pets and educate others on proper
animal care. Another easy way to help is by donating to or volunteering at a local animal shelter.
By writing letters, you can remind your local lawmakers that animal abuse is a real problem that
needs to be addressed.

It is our duty to be the voice for creatures who cannot speak up for themselves. As a nation, we
need to make it our priority to come together and ensure the safety of our beloved animals with
whom we share the mother earth.

peaks, rivers and mountain peaks for adventure tourism, technological parks and science
museums for science tourism, centres of pilgrimage for spiritual tourism, heritage trains and
hotels for heritage tourism. A new growth sector is medical tourism. It is currently growing

Women safety in India

By Navita

Since time immemorial, women are the vulnerable section and their safety and security has
been a matter of concern. With the evolving times, they have started moving out of the houses
and so, the need to be proactive and to avoid mishaps has become vital. When we turn the
pages of a newspaper, we come across many headlines reporting cases of molestation,
harassment, trafficking, ill treatment of women in houses, violence against women in remote
areas, etc. Although the times have changed, the change has not yet affected the mindset of our
people.

We have several laws for protection of women but we need to create social awareness about
these issues. Being biologically weak, women must accept and understand the creation of
nature. We must respect our limitations and make ourselves strong accordingly. Making the
women capable of self-defence, financially free and self-reliant is the need of the hour. Only
when these measures are taken, the world can become a carefree and enjoyable place for
women.
