CLIMATE CHANGE

By Aman Sharma

One of the most hotly debated issues of our time is climate change. Every concerned citizen of the world knows that the temperature is shooting up. Furthermore, there have been frequent natural disasters. We also notice shifts in weather patterns. All these show that the earth’s climate is changing. While climate change may appear to be a distant problem. But the truth is that it has started affecting us now. Due to the rise in temperature, ice in the polar region has begun to melt. In recent times, we have also witnessed devastating floods and storms.

Indeed, it is the duty of every individual to address the issue. It can be done by simple actions like reducing waste, using energy wisely, and supporting eco-friendly policies etc. These small steps will surely make a difference. The time has come to switch to renewable energy and public transport. 

Needless to say, the fight against climate change requires strong willpower and resolution. It’s not just about saving the environment; it’s about securing a future for ourselves and the generations to come. Therefore, we all must join hands to create a healthy and safe planet.

IMPORTANCE OF MENTAL HEALTH AWARENESS

By Priya Ahuja

Mental health is of utmost importance in life. But it has always been ignored. In general, people are aware of physical health. However mental health issues are misunderstood. That’s why, people suffering from mental issues face discrimination. Nowadays, talking about mental health problems has become indispensable because it influences how we think, feel, and act every single day.


If we allow ourselves to speak about mental health, we can address the barriers that prevent individuals from seeking assistance. Awareness helps us know more, and that knowledge, in turn, helps us extend help. Mental health intervention programmes should be instituted in schools, workplaces, and communities, hoping people will not shy away from voicing their issues.


Good well-being allows people to deal with stress and love their work. Therefore, let us appeal to people to consider mental health an indispensable aspect of life and help us create an environment conducive to those who ask for such help.

ONLINE EDUCATION: A BOON OR BANE?

By Sanjay Choudhary


Without any doubt, we can say that the COVID-19 pandemic changed the dynamics of education and made online learning a necessity. Due to virtual classrooms, education has reached students’ homes. It is providing greater convenience and enhanced access to a vast amount of resources.

 

Due to online education, students are able to complete their studies at their own pace, learn from global sources, and not have to travel far and wide. But there are challenges too. Remaining glued to screens for hours can lead to eye strain, tiredness, and loneliness. The lack of face-to-face communication may also affect social skills development and the overall learning experience.

To sum up, online education has been through the tests and challenges and has emerged as an effective mode of learning. However, it cannot take over a conventional learning system. Perhaps the best way in the future will be a combination of both, to realise what is missing completely in one of them.

WOMEN EMPOWERMENT IN INDIA

By Mehak Bhatia

Every rational will admit that women's empowerment is the need of the hour. It is not only good for women, but for society also. In India, women are marking their presence in every field. But still, they face challenges like gender bias, limited opportunities, and societal stereotypes.

We know that women are the backbone of the family and society. But the irony is that they are neglected. So it is imperative to give women equal access to education, jobs, and leadership roles. It will uplift families and communities. The programmes like “Beti Bachao Beti Padhao” are steps in the right direction. Such programmes will encourage girls to pursue education and independence.

True to say, if we empower women, we empower the nation. A strong civilised society values the contributions of both men and women equally. It has rightly been said, “When a man moves, an individual moves, but when a woman moves, the whole nation moves.”

INTERNET: A BLESSING OR A CURSE

By Raina Deshpande

Science has done wonders. Its innovations and discoveries have completely changed the lifestyle of the people. One such invention is the internet. It has made our lives so easy and cosy. We can explore the whole world if we have an internet connection. So many sites, such as Google, Yahoo, etc., enable us to access anything. Now there is no need to wander here and there to collect information. The same can be done just by a click of the mouse. During the pandemic, the work continued due to internet service. Schools and colleges continued to impart education mainly because of the Internet.

But it would be wrong to say that the internet is only advantageous. There are so many disadvantages of the internet. The children remain busy playing games or searching for those sites, to which they must not have access. It has hindered children’s physical activities. Moreover, the internet is also being misused by criminals and terrorists. Hacking has become so common that no secret remains a secret. Often the private lives of celebrities come to the forefront. Cybercrime is also the result of the use of the internet.


Thus we observe that the internet is not an unmixed blessing. It is in our hands to make it a boon or a bane. A judicious and careful use of the internet will prove to be a blessing, but indiscriminate and excessive use will turn the same into a curse.

IMPORTANCE OF SPORTS IN EDUCATION

By Rajesh Khanna


A common myth is that sports and games are just about winning medals and trophies. But the truth is that they play a significant role in the overall development of children. By taking part in sports and games, the children learn about discipline, teamwork, and resilience. Besides, they learn values that help them in academics as well as in life. At the same time,  they find glory, fun, enjoyment, strength and a boost to break the boredom of regular academics.


Sports and games keep children healthy and sharpen their minds. Simultaneously, they help the children handle both success and failure. Through participation in sports and games, children develop essential life skills that help them to face future challenges.


There is a need to recognise the importance of sports in education and give equal importance in schools and colleges. It will help create well-rounded individuals and make them fit, confident, and ready to face life’s ups and downs.
