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).

"UP the Creek without PaDdLe"




The outbreak of Covid-19 pandemic across the globe has put the economy of our country in a shambles. Waving the safety protocols aside will worsen the blossomed hope of recovery and our negligence and irresponsible attitude towards dealing with this pandemic will only agggrevate the situation further. Simply, burying our heads in the sand is not the way out. It's merely fiddling around while the Rome burns. Instead , being a responsible citizen of the country, we ought to saddle ourselves with responsibility of following the guidelines of the central and state government. The war is with an invisible enemy and all the citizens of the country need to shoulder the responsibility of fighting with this nefarious enemy at the individual level.



As the saying goes,Responsibility finds ways and irresponsibility makes excuses. In order to keep the virus at bay and emerge victorious in this unprecedented warlike situation , all the citizens should follow the guidelines related to social distancing and wearing mask with utmost sincerity and not put it on the shelf. Vaccine will be soon knocking at our doors, but at this juncture we must not brush aside the safety norms, which is the need of the hour. The onus is not lowering the guards and fighting with the virus , seeking a prosperous future ahead for the entire mankind. To save the mankind, we have to be humane rather than human. Our negligence and let go approach will jeopardize the gains achieved by imposing stringent lockdowns. In a nutshell, "You cannot go back and change the beginning,but you can start from where you are and change the end" , so beware a small mistake can ruin the situation.

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. Like a double-edged sword, social media is a boon for the democracy and business, on the other hand fake news, privacy concerns and online frauds tell a different tale. "Whoever controls the media, controls the mind..." 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. On the other hand, fake news has induced violent activities aga...

REALITY CHECK

As we all know the whole world is dealing with the pandemic..but in this dire strait our respected PM Mr.  N arendra Modi is dealing with this very well. No PM has had to face such a situation that has impacted every part of India and every aspect of life. If a family member is seriously ill we get shaken. Here, his 130 crore people are at risk. Some are saying lockdown should’ve been earlier. Some are saying Army should’ve been called. Some are saying intelligence failure while some say you appease. Everyone has retrospective opinions but NONE has to bear the responsibility of 130 cr people, Only he has to.. If the lockdown doesn’t succeed then he gets targeted. If it does, still he gets targeted because the economy is hit. If he didn’t call for a lockdown then he would’ve been hounded for lethargy even if it had kept the economy going. He is always at the receiving end. You call for a nation of 130 cr to stop work. For the poor to risk going without food. The rich cry their earni...

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. That's why private hospitals charges arbitrarily i.e. Rs. 7lakh for 14 days quarantine facility, if intensive care unit (ICU) care is warranted thrn the rates would be much higher and can be change according to their preferences that is a huge amount and can not affordable by everyone. 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...
