Teachers are the backbone of Society
By Rohan
“Those who encourage us to think for ourselves are the actual
teachers,” Servepalli Radhakrishnan.
Teachers are widely regarded as the most important members of our
society. They give children a sense of purpose, prepare them for success as
global citizens, and instill in them a desire to succeed in life. Today’s
children are tomorrow’s leaders, and teachers are the critical point at which
a child is prepared for their future.
What is the significance of teachers?
The Guru, or teacher, comes after parents and guides the child onward in
life. Parents are a child’s initial teachers and teach them lessons about life.
Our instructors were significant individuals in our formative years; they
served as mentors, sources of inspiration, and additional parents who
imparted valuable life skills. They may have occasionally been harsh with us,
but looking back, it was only done to mould and shape our abilities, compel
us to confront our anxieties, and help us improve our inadequacies.
A successful teacher not only transmits knowledge to their pupils, but also
motivates, inspires, and fosters a sense of problem-solving curiosity.
Teachers’ Day is a significant holiday observed worldwide to honour these
extraordinary persons in our lives.
What makes teachers so important? Teachers truly are society’s backbone.
They serve as role models for children, provide guidance and dedication,
and empower young people through education. Countries can progress
socially and economically because of teachers. When you or your
community accomplish something great, remember and be grateful to the
teachers who made it possible.
The Need of More Women in Police Force
The number of women in the police force seems insufficient especially
when we see the increasing involvement of women in terrorist activities.
Write an article in 150-200 words for The Hindustan Chronicle’, on the need
of having more women in the police force. (2010)
The Need of More Women in Police Force
By Rekha
Most Indians feel women are weak, helpless, and unsuited for the police
force. Though the number of women in law enforcement has increased,
there are hurdles, including a paucity of women in leadership and cutting-
edge roles, their negligible participation in overall law enforcement,
gender-specific concerns, a lack of infrastructure, and male colleagues’
stereotyping.
Women’s police jobs are expanding. Our women police officers have
championed women’s emancipation, sowing the seeds of modernism and
constructive change in society. Incorporating more women into the force
has empowered women and reduced crime against them, especially against
those who accepted it as their fate.
In law-and-order situations involving women, they must search and seize.
IPC and POCSO oblige women to deal with sexual assault victims and
juvenile delinquents. Women cops are Covid’s frontline. Our women have
been a beacon of strength during Covid-related chaos.
To Increase the female police roles, we must remove tokenism and give
women a key role in the police, free from gender bias. Otherwise, their
numbers will grow without impact.
Article on Girl Child Education in India
In many parts of our country girls are still discouraged from going to
school. Consequently, a sizable section of the population is deprived of
education. Schemes like Sarva Shiksha Abhiyan, CBSE scholarship to
the single girl child and the Government’s policy of giving free
education to girls have come as a boon to our society. Write an article
in 150-200 words on the education of the girl child in the country.
[Delhi 2010]
Girl Child Education in India
By Sakshi
Poverty, cultural norms, familial traditions, social limitations, poor
infrastructure, violence, and fragility hinder Indian females’ education. In
rural places, parents consider girl children a liability and a barrier to
financial development. UNESCO estimates that 129 million girls are out of
school, including 32 million in elementary school and 97 million in
secondary school.
Girls’ education goes beyond school. It’s also about ensuring that girls learn
and feel safe in school, that they complete all levels of education, acquiring
the knowledge and skills needed to compete in the labour market, that
they gain the socio-emotional and life skills needed to navigate and adapt
to a changing world, that they make their own decisions, and that they
contribute to their communities and the world.
Gender bias, poverty, and child marriage are adversely affecting girls’
education. Parents in India feel uneasy about the girl child; hence, they are
only allowed to go to school nearby but not to college, which is far from
their homes. Girls are routinely forced to walk long distances to school,
putting them in danger of violence, and many are victimised at school.
Child marriage is a problem. Younger brides are more likely to drop out of
school and complete fewer years of schooling.
Poverty affects a girl’s ability to complete her education. Girls are routinely
forced to walk long distances to school, putting them in danger of violence,
and many are victimised at school. Child marriage is a problem. Younger
brides are more likely to drop out of school and complete fewer years of
schooling.
Things are changing quickly in India. The Sarva Shiksha Abhiyan, the CBSE
scholarship for the single girl child, and the government’s aim of giving
girls free education are altering things. Beti Bachao Beti Padhao is an
initiative of the Indian government. The main aim of the programme is to
promote girls’ education and improve the efficiency of welfare services. As
a result, girls’ education will aid in the improvement of the society’s
economic, family planning, health, and sanitation conditions.
Article on ‘The Impact of Advertisements on the Younger
Generation’.
Advertisements have become a big business. They are promoted by
celebrities drawn from various fields like films, sports, etc., leaving
their influence on all people specially the young. Write an article in
150-200 words on ‘The Impact of Advertisements on the younger
generation’. (Delhi 2010)
The Impact of Advertisement on the Younger Generation
by Rakhi
Advertising is a technique used by various organisations and institutes to
popularise any product, campaign, or general warning. “The Impact of
Advertisements on the Younger Generation” is affected by the young
generation’s maturity level, and it has both advantages and disadvantages.
Advertisements bombard the young generation through various platforms
such as television, social media, print media, and wall writings.
The organisations take advantage of the opportunity to advertise their
products by paying high fees to celebrities, and the younger generations
are drawn to the celebrities rather than the products, and they buy the
products without knowing what they are. Thus, such things can have a
negative impact on the younger generation, but on the whole, they learn a
lot after being duped.
Advertisements for harmful products such as alcohol and cigarettes, which
easily attract the younger generation and can have negative effects on their
health, should be prohibited.
Some advertisements are educational and creative, and the younger
generation can benefit greatly from them. As a result, positive advertising
has no negative impact on youth in general. As a result, we can conclude
that advertisements have both positive and negative effects on youth, and
it all depends on how they interpret them.
The Best Way of Travelling Long Distance: An Article for
Travellers
Travelling has become a source of knowledge and enjoyment. People
are always confused about the way they should travel? Write an article
on the methods of travelling and their pros and cons in 150-200
words.
The Best Way of Travelling Long Distance
By Simaran
How should we travel? This is the question which everyone ponder before
travelling. Long-distance travellers are frequently forced to choose between
travelling by land, sea, or air. Nobody enjoys sitting on a train for more than
a few hours.
Train compartments quickly become crowded and stuffy. It is nearly
impossible to divert your attention away from the journey. The
monotonous rhythm of the wheels clicking on the rails soon lulls you to
sleep, so reading is only a partial solution. Sleep comes in spurts during the
day.
You rarely get to sleep at night, even when you really want to. If you get a
couchette, you spend half the night staring at the small blue light in the
ceiling or fumbling for your passport when you cross a border. You will
eventually arrive at your destination almost finished. Long car rides are
even worse because it is nearly impossible to read.
You can travel fairly safely at high speeds on highways, but most of the
time, the majority of the journey is spent on narrow, bumpy, congested
roads.
Teachings of Budha: An Article on Budha
Recently you visited Lord Budha temple at Bodh Gaya. You read
Budha’s Teachings and the History of Budha. Write an article on
Budha’s teachings for the benefit of the students of your school in not
more than 150-200 words.
Teachings of Budha
By Sumer
About one-fifth of the world’s population adheres to the teachings of the
Buddha, who lived around 2600 years ago. He was born in the year 563 B.C.
The Buddha is a title, not a person’s name. It translates as “The Enlightened
One” or “The One Who Knows.” Siddhartha was the Buddha’s given name.
In northern India, he was the son of a Sakya King. He and his family were all
Hindus from the Gautama clan.
Gautama Siddhartha was raised in luxury. He was raised in his father’s
palace and never saw the outside world until he was a young man. Then,
one day, Prince Siddhartha went around the city with his charioteer Channa.
On his way, he passed by some sights he had never seen before. First, he
noticed an elderly man who was bent with age. Then he saw a man who
had a terrible disease, possibly leprosy. Then he noticed a dead man being
carried to the crematory. The prince was saddened by these sights.
After achieving nirvana, Lord Buddha began teaching people the way of life.
He presented his initial teachings with five holy men near the city of
Benares, and they immediately understood and committed to follow Lord
Buddha. For forty-five years, Buddha and his students propagated the
Buddha’s teachings and wisdom throughout India. Lord Buddha’s teachings
are also known as Dhamma. Consider some of the significant teachings that
Lord Buddha has provided for the benefit of humanity.
Ways to Live a Meaningful Life: An Article on Meaningful
Life
Our circumstances and conditions are not dictated by the world
outside; it is the world inside us that creates the outside. Write an
article in 150–200 words on how we can live a meaningful life.
Ways to Live Meaningful Life
By Priyansi
At some point in our lives, we may ponder the significance of our existence.
Living a meaningful life and determining what is meaningful are questions
as old as humanity. To live a meaningful life, we must be mindful of our
ideas, since they are the basis, inspiration, and driving force behind our
actions. We build the entire world with our thoughts.
The causes are thoughts, and the outcomes are conditions. Our
circumstances and conditions are not determined by the external world;
rather, they are the result of our inner world. Self-awareness originates in
the mind, which indicates the soul.
Mind is the condition of awareness that is comprised of cognition, will, and
emotion. In addition to self-awareness, humans possess the ability to
choose and to reason.
Krishna asserts, “No man is ever passive.” Even when passive on the
physical level, we are perpetually engaged on the mental plane.
Consequently, if we examine ourselves, it is simple to shape our thinking. If
our ideas are pure and noble, our actions will automatically follow suit.
Importance of Sea for Humans: An Article on Importance
of Sea
The sea, which covers three-fourths of our planet’s surface, both
divides and unifies the many human races. Write an article in 150–200
words on importance of sea.
Importance of Sea
By Riya
The water has long provided food, labour, and trade for humans. The
excessive human activity is threatening the survival of submerged creatures.
Plastic in water is a major problem. Plastic is killing marine species, which
harms the marine population. Pollution has also degraded the seafloor and
reduced biodiversity by extinguishing sea beauties.
The sea, which covers three-fourths of our planet’s surface, both divides
and unifies the many human races. The sea is the huge highway that man
may travel along at his leisure; it is the great road that is unrestricted by
walls or hedges, and that no one is required to maintain in good condition
with the aid of pickaxes, barrels of tar, and steamrollers.
The sea appeals to man’s love of the dangerous and uncharted, as well as
his passion of conquest, knowledge, and money. Its rivers, which are green,
grey, blue, and purple, beckon to him and tell him to set forth in search of
other fields. He has discovered peril and death, fame, and wealth beyond
their horizons.
There are cities and villages on some large continents, like America and
Australia, that are thousands of kilometres from the ocean, where the
youngsters have never seen, heard, or felt the waves of the sea.
The sea has always been a vital resource for both humans and the planet. It
is a vibrant environment teeming with mammals, fish, mollusks, algae, and
other organisms.
