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’.

It is seen as a way of normalizing in our economy. One of the announcement by the Union sports minister KIRAN RIJJU is a warm relief for the sportsperson. Second home of them i.e. the stadia are now open for practice but it will be without audience in order to maintain physical distancing. We have seen many videos of players playing at their home, do exercise and also doing some different batting challenges by many players such as Kohli, Sachin Tendulkar and many more. As we all know regular exercise and practice is a most important part of their life and they also have to ready for future games. So it is a welcome step as they can’t do practice at home in a true manner. For a player a stadium is much better than anything for practice especially when such a big events are going to be happen.

Many changes might be seen in cricket and various other sports throughout the world, as testing of players before the game and sanitizing have to be done, players have a habit of giving high five, hugging and grouping to celebrate a wicket, goal, or a victory. As Australia restricts the use of saliva and sweat to shine a ball is a good start, and many other countries needs to be do the same…we have to find another thing to shine a balll….

    Athletes have not a word like 'static' in their dictionary as they possess dynamic properties and are obsessed with movements. From a long span of time,lockdown due to a notorious virus is ruling across the worLd and compelled peoples of several countries to comply with its rules and regulation,be it sport-men.However sport persons devised their own training mechanisms to cope with this, yet it is not enough,as sport spirit is boundless.A decree to re-open stadia on the behalf of sport authority of india and home ministry is welcome as it cover all section of sports and provide platform for practicing whether those who have state of the art gym equipment that stretching costs in lakhs or who do not possess any such facilities in their own home.The decision that lead the players to win-win situation ahead of upcoming events like world 20-20 and Olympic again pressed the pause button.

SOCIAL MEDIA

  "Connectivity is a human right"... With a gigantic user base and a ubiquitous existence, the social media has become an inseparable part of the fabric of the Indian society. It has transformed the way we communicate in the online world. Ultra-fast internet connectivity, cheap data plans and universal access to smartphones for our youth have impacted Indian society in a unique way. As we know everything has its pros and cons, social media also have.

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.

Illiteracy, insecurity, poverty and increasing ratio of rape are also the major reason for gi...

This is an optimistic approach towards improving the economic conditions of the country. Since the pandemic hit the country, there has been a continuous downfall of economy due to long and strict lockdown that stopped all the work pausing financial activities across the country.

More employment will improve the financial activities and mitigate the impact of lockdown that caused a great loss to GDP of the country. The risk of inflation is also needed to be focused but it can be stay put for a while because reviving economy is more beneficial than cutting prices of commodities. If there will more jobs and em...
