Education - A Weapon

“ Education is the key to unlocking the world, passport to freedom”                                                     Oprah Winfrey What separates humans from animals is the ability of humans to write, read, learn and teach . This centuries-old accrued knowledge is called “ education ”, which makes humans the smartest creatures on the planet earth.  The basic measurement for education is called the rate of ‘literacy’. The global adult literacy rate is 86%. 75%of the world’s illiterate population lives in South Asia,West Asia and sub-Saharan Africa. Women account for two -  third so fall the illiterate adults of the world.The literacy rate of India is 77.7%(2017-18).

Belated, but welcome

The unprecedented and mushroomed rise in the COVID-19 cases create a distress among the migrants for their livelihoods and going back to their residence is tremendously seen, But due to this migrants workers tried to go back their home, by paying fare, but they have not enough money as their source of earnings restrict, so migrants workers faces a lots of problems. But now the intervention of apex court to enforce the rights of vulnerables is an applauding move.
The government's relief policies has not reached to all the workers, this discomfort created between the government and the migrants is due to the lack.of proper communication. We all are responsible for this but media plays a vital role because the media has a responsibility of delivering information facilitated by the govt. There has been inadequacies and poor coordination on the part of the center and state in dealing with the crisis faced by workers,  one such example of this is that the cancellation of train on the last moment as they were not fully prepared with the quarantine facilities, it create a lots of anxiety and discomfort among the migrant, as they already pay fare. These are the areas probably for which the intervention of apex court is seen. 
Welcome steps- 
1. As we have seen a three judge bench of the Supreme Court has initiated to look into the problems.
2. SC may lay down guidelines for planning, coordination and establishment to make the situation better.
It is rightly said "Better late than never".

Social media have empowered the users to voice their concerns against injustice and inequality as evident from the " Anna movement " to the campaigns like " Meetoo " and rights for "LGBT" and same-sex marriages.

Female foeticide

"There is no chance of the welfare of the world unless the condition of women is improved. It is not possible for a bird to fly on one wing." In a democratic country where equality is on its peak priority, a social evil that originated a long time back is still in practice. Female foeticide is the procedure of abortion to terminate female fetus from the womb of the mother after taking sex recognition tests( ultrasound). More than 2,00,000 girls are killed each year especially in U.P. and Bihar as compared to other cities. Several religious, social, financial and emotional factors are the reasons behind the female foeticide. Most of the parents prefer son to girl because they think they have to pay a big amount as dowry at the time of marriage and also believe that tha son will carry the name of their family in future while girls will get married a day and will have a separate family. Illiteracy, insecurity, poverty and increasing ratio of rape are also the major reason for gi...
