SMART CITY

-

Remarkable step of incredible india. A hope that blossoms our life. Recently…. Our honourable pm launched smart city-a program i.e. a boon for undeveloped cities.
I think our future is undoubtedly smart- smart homes, smart cars, smart cities. And as technology takes over repetitive, labourious work, the nation that lead the future will be the ones that place  a premium on what robots cannot do- human intelligence, human creativity. Tomorrow’s leader will be the one with the smartest people.
The food we eat, the air we breathe, the water we drink, the area we live in, all determine how smart we can be. Studies have shown that children who are undernourished often donot achieve their full potential height for age(stunting) and weight.
They also do not achieve their full cognitive potential. Children cannot achieve their full height due to restricted nutrient supply for growth. This restricted supply also leads to functional damage to the brain, probably irreversibly.
The environment we live in plays its part. Frequent enteric infections, which could be due to lack of hygiene or sanitation, affect the gut’s ability to absorb nutrients. So even if the child has nutritious food, the body won’t able to absorb that nutrition. anniversary explosion box
In a sense, a child’s height on his or her second birthday could be a predictor of ‘’human capital’’. Poverty, crowded living conditions and lack of sanitation all increase in risk of diarrhea in children. So the success of swachh bharat campaign is essential not just for a cleaner india, but also for a smarter india.
The air we breathe is also preventing young people in india from achieving their full potential. Much concern has been expressed about sufficient jobs not being created for india’s youth cohort. Jobs alone are not the answer. Policy makers need to ensure young people in turn have the ability to meet the needs of the jobs of future. Investments in health, environment and its determinants – the social sector- the therefore, need to be priority.
I also to live in a smart city, i.e. free pollution, free diseases,etc. if you begin to  had understand it is not a project of your government while it is your dream city, the output will amazing.

Rag pickers of india

-
The rag pickers of India present a pitiable sight. It is poverty that goads them to resort rag picking. Day in and day out they may be seen on the roads, the lanes and the bylanes of a city or town looking for cast-off clothes or something else showy or shoddy that may sell. More often that not, it is children who have taken to rag picking. But some young men and women are also forced to take up the showy trade to make both ends meet. Why should innocent children who should be at school at this age do this filthy job? It is because their parents are often too poor to support them. So they neglect them and abandon them to face the cruel world on their own.

Men Have Failed, Let Women Take Over

According to Rabindranath Tagore “women is god’s best creation”. She adds beauty, grace and charm to every aspect of life. Sadly enough, she has been neglected and her virtues glossed over by the predominantly male society. To quote miss universe, 1994 SushmitaSen,“women in India have become more aware of their rights as individuals and are now opting for higher positions at work, at the same time being a perfect housewife at home. This, then, is the stage at which women have reached today- thanks to their struggle for equality and, more importantly, because of the situation we have landed   ourselves into with men at the helm of affairs. Prejudices against women occupying positions of leadership are fast disappearing and their traditional role of sex objects being rejected. The male- dominated milieu, be it social or political, is no longer gratifying. It is plagued with bloodshed, vengeance, envy and immorality. Communalism, fundamentalism, violence and tensions have m...
