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).

Central Vista

Central vista, a project initiated by the Modi government for the revamp of the 3km vista, a long narrow road between the Rashtrapati bhawan and India gate. It is one of the most desirable project of the Government of India. This project includes a new parliament building in triangular shape, a common secretariat, new Pmo, and the new residence for the PM AND THE PRESIDENT, facilitated with the modern techniques, which is beneficial for the Government i.e. 1. Safety of the parliamentarians.
2. Work can be done easily as everyone have the seats.
3. Modern workplace provide a relief. 
4. More seats and space required for MPs when further delimitation of consultancies will be done by the delimitation commission.
Also it will attract the tourists as the government developed old buildings in the museum which will help in increasing the revenue.
This decision has taken by the government in the March 2020 when country is not facing such type of crisis. The decision is not wrong, but the timing of implementation is wrong. As we all know Whole world is facing the global pandemic,the economy  has collapsed.
So it would be futile to talk about the past. This project has a budget of rs.922crore. So according to the situations government should halt this project and make investments in health care systems, education Research and development which is utmost priority.
The economy of the nation is on the brink, government should be prepared for that. Government should rethink about the project implementation.

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.

"A stich in time saves nine"

The farmers' associations from the nearby states abutting the border of the capital city,Delhi, have hunkered down near the Delhi border in a hope of getting their fears and uncertainties satiated and alleviated related to the new farm bill passed hastily by the centre. The farm law that existed prior to the centre's amending it had many loopholes that were going against the progress and development of the agriculture sector. The intention of the centre might be healthy but the way it has  dealt with it ,  made it face opposition from the farmers across the country due to the centre's lacking in addressing the misconceptions related to it that had lead to developing a sense of fear and precarity in the minds of the farmers that are undoubtedly the backbone of our Indian economy which at this juncture is battered due to ongoing Covid - 19 pandemic. To be breathe in new life to the agricultural sector and ultimately making the farmers self supportive who throughout these year...

Profit not Profiteering

In the beginning of this pandemic, there were limited cases of patients, so the government institutions are enough to testing and those tested positive were sent to the government hospitals. But in the present timr the number of cases increasing day by day, the demand of hospitals is on hike that's why it is important to include private hospitals as well. For testing in private hospitals government already set a limit of rs.4500 but do not set a limit for the treatment and isolation facility to the covid-19 patients.

So the states decided to interference in it and set a cap on the tariff that is charged by the hospitals. Maharashtra was the first to fix a tariff, followed by Gujarat, and Tamilnad...
