ICT (Information and Communication Technologies) in Education
Ø  Information and communication technologies (ICT) include computers, the Internet, broadcasting technologies (radio and television) and telephony. While the rise of computers and the Internet has provoked great interest in the ways in which they can be applied in education to improve its efficiency and effectiveness at all levels.
Ø  As a result of the increasing application of ICTs in education, a number of new learning approaches have emerged. E-learning encompasses learning at all levels, formal as well as non-formal, using information networks such as the Internet, an intranet (LAN) or extranet (WAN) for course delivery, interaction and facilitation. Blended learning refers to learning models that combine traditional classroom practice with e-leaning solutions. 
Ø  Schools use a diverse set of ICT tools to communicate, create, disseminate, store, and manage information. ICT has also become integral to the teaching-learning interaction, through such approaches as replacing chalkboards with interactive digital whiteboards, using students’ own smartphones or other devices for learning during class time, and the “flipped classroom” model where students watch lectures at home on the computer and use classroom time for more interactive exercises.
Ø  When teachers are digitally literate and trained to use ICT, these approaches can lead to higher order thinking skills, provide creative and individualized options for students to express their understandings, and leave students better prepared to deal with ongoing technological change in society and the workplace.



Role of parents in child’life.
Parents are the child’s first role model. Children behave, react and imitate same as their parents. Parents play an important role in encouraging and motivating their kids to learn.
 In the early years, parents are their children’s first teacher- exploring nature, reading together and counting together. When a child begins formal school, the parent’s job is to show him how school can extend the learning you began together at home and how exciting and meaningful this learning can be.
One of the most important thing a parent can do is notice his or her child. Is he talkative or shy? A parent must pay attention to what his or her child loves. Find out what interests him and help him explore it. Many teachers encourage parents to go over what their young children are learning in a non- pressured way and to practice what a child learns at school. Help your child take charge of his learning and become responsible for it. Watching lots of T.V does not give children the chance to develop their own interest and explore on their own. So keep T.V to a minimum.
Just like any other relationship a parent child relationship is impacted by each person’s thought, feeling and behaviour. If both individuals have positive thoughts and feeling about one another and their behaviour are mutually respectful, it is likely that the relationship is healthy, functional and satisfying.

RURAL UPLIFT PROGRAMME IN INDIA

In free India, rural uplift programmes were initiated in the year 1952 under community development programme.  These were aimed at changing the face of the countryside, and building a new outlook among the village folk.  Under the Five Year Plans, a high priority is being given to these programmes.  Much is yet left to be done as most of the people live in villages
The goals of the community development programme are quite ambitious.  With the advent of scientific methods of agriculture, increased production of wheat, rice, barley, cotton and other crops has been achieved and efforts go unabated in this direction.  Cottage industries are the backbone of village wage-carners.  Substantial increase in the production of cottage goods based on agro, marine and natural products or bio-products has generated employment in the rural sector.  Co-operative credit societies have sprung up to cope with the increasing demand of capital by small farmers and workers engaged in cottage industries.  Increase in agricultural production , rural industrialization and a change in the outlook of the rural people are thus the outstanding features of the village uplift programmes.
 During the Five Year Plans, the community development programme has shown excellent results.  Village link roads, rural water supply and sanitation, electrification and mass education are the areas where much work has already been done.  Minor irrigation schemes are coming up and the village industries are booming.  Primary health centres and veterinary health care units are roaring with improved life and livestock. 
Rural employment, health, education, sanitation, storage of wheat rice and increase in agriculture and industrial production are the areas which still demand attention. Let us hope that Indian villages regain their old glory, health and prosperity.

TERRORISM

Terrorism could be defined simply as it is unlawful act that is to create violence among people
Now a day’s fear of terrorism is spreading rapidly all over the world. Terrorist spread terrorism on the name of religion. Directly or indirectly, whole world is getting affected by the spread of terrorism.
Terrorist activities take place due to political, religious, personal, ideological gains. As the whole world is suffering from this problem called terrorism thus it could be solved internationally. Only one or few countries are not responsible for it
These attacks aimed to demobilize people and make the whole world suffer in various aspects. All these attacks exercised to create hoax among people. Unfortunately people like us become terrorist, whose minds are brainwashed by the terrorist organizations (belonging to such places as Afghanistan and Taliban) to that extent that they are even willing to become suicide bombers.
India is spending a lot of money on country’s security every year to stop attacks and to fight against terrorism but these groups are highly trained to secretly enter our country.
 So let’s take pledge together that we will put every bit of our effort to stop these activities of crime and murder .world can overcome this dangerous problem only when awareness among people will increase and when countries will come together to solve this problem with unity.


PARAMJYOTI
GOOD AND BAD COMPANY


"Avoid Fraternising with people who don't share your values. Prolonged association with those with false ideas can only tarnish your thinking." Epictetus ( The great philosopher)
The human mind is a very powerful and fascinating tool. Apart from various other functions it also works as a receptive instrument that gathers information from all available external sources. Thus the people we choose to relate with and the environment we live in greatly influence our behaviour. Both good company and negative association affect our mind and produce changes that can deeply transform our behaviour, actions and thoughts. The company one keeps is so important, helping one become either better or worse in the long term. Anything that brings impure thoughts to the mind is a negative association and spending time around people caught in compulsive patterns can have a disastrous impact on ones life which lead to anger, loss of memory and reduced discrimination. It is extremely important that we cultivate the right kind of company and carefully choose the people we relate with. Only by building strong relationships with good company- friends, family and loved ones, will one be able to find peace and comfort and evolve in all aspects of life.

Save Girl Child

Introduction-

The status of girls in the Indian society has been greatly debated for many years. Girls are generally believed to be involved in the cooking and playing with dolls while boys to be involved in the education and other physical activities from the ancient time. Such old beliefs of men have simulated them for violence against women which resulted in the continuous decrease in the number of girl child in the society. So, there is a big need to save girl child in order to equalize the ratio of both as well ensure the development of country.

Effective Steps regarding Save Girl Child

Following are the various effective steps to save girl child:

The position of girl child in Indian society is backward since ages because of the extreme desire of parents for the boy-child. It has created gender inequality in the society and has been very necessary to remove by bringing gender equality.
Extreme poverty in the society has created social evil against women as dowry system which worsens the situation of women. Parents generally think that girls are only to spend money that’s why they kill girl child before or after birth in many ways (female infanticide, dowry deaths, etc). Such issues need to be removed urgently in order to save girl child.
Illiteracy is another issue which can be removed through proper education system for both genders.
Empowering women is the most effective tool to save girl child.
People should be aware through some effective campaigns regarding save the girl child.
A girl child is unsafe inside as well as outside the mother’s womb. She has fear in many ways all through the life with the men whom she gives birth. She is ruled by the men whom she gives birth and it is totally the matter of laugh and shame for us. Education is the best tool to bring revolution of saving and respecting a girl child.
A girl child should be given equal access and opportunities in every field.
There should be safety and security arrangement for girls at all the public places.
Family members of a girl child can be better target to make save the girl child campaign successful.

Conclusion-

Save girl child is not taken by the people as topic only, it is a social awareness which should be taken very seriously. People should save girl child and respect girl child as they have power to create a whole world. They are equally needed for the growth and development of any country.

Hello World...

PUNCTUALITY

Punctuality is one of the most important characteristics of a successful person. A person with this quality can easily complete all his/her task on right time or before time. It makes me really surprised when I think that what will happen if each and every citizen of the country will be punctual. I think it will surely make all the systems on track and lead the country towards glory and success. If we have a look on the history of any great man, we know the real facts of their successful life. It enables a person to schedule all the tasks of a day and perform in easy manner on time. Punctual people never waste their time even a minute or second.
Punctuality is virtue of a disciplined person. It makes a person more efficient and helps him to go with time. A punctual and disciplined person always becomes happy, fit and healthy. Punctual and disciplined people never get failed in their life and always get respect.
Other than human lives, if we have a look on the natural processes (like sun rise, air blow, water flow, moon rise, sun set, seasons arrival, flower blooming, and many more), all happens on right time without getting late even for a minute. All the natural processes are best example to us to learn something about punctuality.
So, punctuality is a key to success for everyone.

Plastics as an inexpensive source of energy-storing carbon
Scientists have created a way to convert plastic bags into carbon chips that could be used in batteries powering our smartphones and other devices.
Plastic bag pollution has become a huge environmental problem, prompting some cities and countries to heavily tax or ban the sacks.
Many plastic bags are used only once and then disposed, ending up in landfills, oceans and elsewhere in the environment, where they can take hundreds of years to decompose.
According to researchers from Purdue University in the US, polyethylene in plastic bags could be an inexpensive source of energy-storing carbon.
However, previous methods to upcycle polyethylene into pure carbon have been inefficient or required expensive, complex processes.
The team wanted to develop a simpler yet efficient approach to convert plastic waste into useful carbon-containing materials.
The researchers immersed polyethylene plastic bags in sulphuric acid and sealed them inside a solvothermal reactor, which heated the sample to just below polyethylene’s melting temperature.
This treatment caused sulfonic acid groups to be added to the polyethylene carbon-carbon backbone so that the plastic could be heated to a much higher temperature without vapourising into hazardous gases.
Then, they removed the sulphonated polyethylene from the reactor and heated it in a furnace in an inert atmosphere to produce pure carbon.
The team ground the carbon into a black powder and used it to make anodes for lithium-ion batteries. The resulting batteries performed comparably to commercial batteries.

“IS, REALLY, HUMAN BEING A SOCIAL ANIMAL?”
After having a serious look into the recent news of sexual assault  that have occurred in the area of Phillaur and Ludhiana,I am compelled to think that, Is human being really remained a social animal or he has ceased to be so?
The criminals who were involved in these crimes against the young girls have imposed a serious threat to this fact that humans are known for their social qualities. But what social qualities, these criminals have displayed while committing these crimes is beyond the understanding and mental frequency of a common man who is fighting for the subsistence of his family and wants to have a safe and secure life for him and his children.
It sounds a little harsh to think that if a person is not social, then the society should view them as “less than humans or just animals”.
Aristotle has rightly said that
“Man is by nature a social animal; an individual who is unsocial naturally and not accidentally is either beneath our notice or more than human. Society is something that precedes the individual. Anyone who either cannot lead the common life or is so self-sufficient as not to need to, and therefore does not partake of society, is either a beast or a god. ” 
Granted, he included the “more than human” but that’s likely in reference to the savants or prodigies that lock themselves away to work tirelessly on whatever it is that they do. But what’s about those “less than human”.
I mean… a beast or a god?
I think that people should be regarded as criminals or “less than human” if they are cruel towards their fellow human beings and hurt and abuse those who have done nothing wrong. These people shouldn’t just get charged, they should be put in jail and treated in the same way that they have tried to treat those innocent people. Cruelty is criminal and should be a case for the courts and these people should not be on the streets. It is felt strongly in a lot of people’s hearts. Imagine if it was your sister or daughter that was being abused. How would you feel? Wouldn’t you feel angry? Wouldn’t you feel hurt? Wouldn’t you want justice? Because I’m sure that I WOULD.
So if you do not agree and you don’t bother about these issues then ask yourself one question, the only one question:-
“IS,REALLY, HUMAN BEING A SOCIAL ANIMAL?”

Topic : Health is Wealth


Health is Wealth

Though a very old saying yet it holds true in today’s fast paced life where people are overlooking their health and are easily vulnerable to various diseases.
As a child I’ve always wondered if this dictum is actually significant as everyone was busy accumulating wealth at the cost of their health or even their loving families. All those hard working people toiling day and night to earn money and providing all the luxuries of life to their loved ones are respected and adored the most ; however they might  realize quite late in their lives the importance of health over wealth.
The people with a hefty bank balance and a huge bungalow are considered wealthy however their money would be of no use if they are not healthy to enjoy the blessings of their lives.
                               “A healthy mind resides in a healthy body”
A healthy person can earn lots of money however an unhealthy person cannot because of lack of motivation, interest and concentration level. Money is a source to live a healthy life however good health is the source to live a happy and peaceful life.
So, good health matters more than money.We all should maintain  our good health to be wealthy in real sense.
Here are certain tips which can help a person to be healthy and happy.
       1.     Avoid unhealthy food with high calories.
       2.     Eat breakfast at right time.
       3.     Take balanced diet.
       4.     Add colors to your diet i.e  fruits and vegetables of different colors.
       5.     Drink plenty of water.
       6.     Do daily physical exercise or yoga and meditation.
       7.     Shun bad habits such as smoking, drinking alcohol etc.
       8.     Do develop certain hobby to keep you going.
       9.     Take sound sleep of six to eight hours.
       10.   Don’t stress yourself much before going to bed.
       11.    Resolve all the issues of the day before sleeping.
        12.    Avoid excessive exposure to the TV or Mobile Screen.
        13.   Avoid sitting for long hours, take short break in between.
