Why Education Is Important?

“The whole purpose of Education is to turn mirrors into windows.”- By: Sydney J. Harris

In our free country where we pride ourselves on having the ability to form our own choices, why it’s required by law that children attend school between the ages of six and sixteen? There are a few arguments out there as to why receiving an education shouldn’t be mandated by law: Children could simply be taught their family’s trade from a young age and earn a living wage through that knowledge, right? Is education is a form of political control? By having the liberty of speech and thought, children should even have the elemental right to regulate what information enters.

Moreover, for a happy and stable life education is important. If you have knowledge about the world than it will lead to happy life. You will be able to earn a good amount of money with which you can enjoy the good things that world has to offer you. In this modern era everybody wants a good life which can be earned by money and money can be earned by those who are educated. If you are educated than there are chances of having a high paying job that everyone seeks to have in their life. Education not only provides money but also it helps to identify an individual rights and most importantly it provides or help you learn about equality for fair place for everyone for every opportunities. Else it makes you self dependent that means not to dependent on others for anything. Education will open doors for various opportunities. Education doesn’t mean how to read and write but it means how to make proper use of ability of writing and reading. This also means how to utilize their knowledge for their growth. Education also helps for the countries growth economically and cherish with prosperity.

Benefits of Education are:

  1. Brings up productive results- Education in this modern era is also important for the society as with the increase in population the needs of people are also rising whereas firms needs only developed employees for which one should be able to gain knowledge for productive results.
  2. It helps the country with well educated citizens.
  3. Importance of voting can only be known if one is educated as voting is the right of citizens.
  4. It will help the citizens to get a good job.
  5. Educated persons are able to make their decisions.
  6. It also help by finding difference between good and bad.
  7. People will no longer dependent on others and they will be able to develop themselves.
  8. An educated persons helps in creating an educated society.
  9. It also helps in solving unemployment issues in the country.
  10. Children will be raised rightly as they are the future of the country.

However, education is very important aspect in one’s life. Without this an individual is incomplete. For a healthy and wealthy life education is needed. Children should also be taught the importance of education as they are the future of our country. Hence, if education is important for children than it is also important for the society to make educated society and a educated country.

Physicists spot a new class of neutrinos from the sun

Neutrinos from the sun’s second-most prominent nuclear fusion process have been spotted in the Borexino detector (inside shown with light-detecting sensors).

Neutrinos spit out by the main processes that power the sun are finally accounted for, physicists report.

Similar to an electron a Neutrino is a subatomic particle but Unlike an electron, it has no electrical charge. The mass of a neutrino is also very small, which might be even zero.

Neutrinos are one of the most abundant subatomic particles in the universe because they don’t have much interaction with the matters.

Two sets of nuclear fusion reactions predominate in the sun’s core and both produce the lightweight subatomic particles in abundance.

Scientists had previously detected neutrinos from the most prevalent process. Now, for the first time, neutrinos from the second set of reactions have been spotted, researchers with the Borexino experiment said June 23 in a talk at the Neutrinos 2020 virtual meeting.

“With this outcome, Borexino has completely unraveled the two processes powering the sun,” said physicist Gioacchino Ranucci of Italy’s National Institute for Nuclear Physics in Milan.

In the sun’s core, hydrogen fuses into helium in two ways. One, known as the proton-proton chain, is the source of about 99 percent of the star’s energy. The other group of fusion reactions is the CNO cycle, for carbon, nitrogen, and oxygen — elements that allow the reactions to proceed. Borexino had previously spotted neutrinos from the proton-proton chain. But until now, neutrinos from the CNO cycle were MIA.

“They’re top of everybody’s list to try and identify and to spot,” says physicist Malcolm Fairbairn of King’s College London. “Now they think they’ve spotted them, which is a major achievement, really an extremely difficult measurement to make.”

Located deep underground at the Gran Sasso National Laboratory in Italy, Borexino searches for flashes of light produced as neutrinos knock into electrons in a large vat of liquid. Researchers have spent years fine-tuning the experiment to detect the elusive neutrinos that herald the CNO cycle. Although difficult to observe, the particles are plentiful, Borexino confirmed. On Earth, around 700 million neutrinos from the sun’s CNO cycle pass through a square centimeter each second, the researchers report.

The result, presented for the first time at the virtual meeting, must still clear the hurdle of peer review in a scientific journal before it is fully official.

The property that reveals the abundance of elements present in an object that are heavier than hydrogen and helium is known as Metallicity property. Studying these particles could help reveal how much of the sun is composed of elements heavier than hydrogen and helium. That’s because the rate at which CNO cycle neutrinos are produced depends on the sun’s content of carbon, nitrogen, and oxygen. Different types of measurements currently disagree about the sun’s metallicity, with one technique suggesting higher metallicity than another.

In the future, more sensitive measurements of CNO neutrinos could help scientists disentangle the problem.

The CNO cycle is even more important in stars heavier than the sun, where it is the main fusion process. Studying this cycle in the sun can help physicists understand the inner workings of other stars, says Zara Bagdasarian, a physicist at the University of California, Berkeley, and a member of the Borexino Collaboration. “It’s very important for us to understand how the sun works.”

“Want to become a bollywood actor? Just know these things before.”

Bollywood has grown enormously in the entire world and the popularity of bollywood actors has reached worldwide. This popularity has inspired many people in our country to take acting as a profession.
An actor undoubtedly gains a lot of admiration and money. But the road to becoming a successful actor is filled with many hurdles and there is a dark side behind it as well.

● Bollywood sometimes fails to appreciate real talent. People who have close relations with the top producers, directors or anyone linked to the film industry have a higher chance of getting selected as an actor rather than a deserving candidate. But you shall keep believing in your talent and not lose hope.

● You have to constantly keep on proving yourself and keep on impressing the audience with your performance as an actor. When your films are doing good economically, you are amongst the top choices by the filmmakers. But once your films start becoming a flop, you find it very difficult to get good roles.

● Stress is an uninvited guest in everyone’s life. You have to face it in every profession, same is the case with the acting profession. As an actor, you are exposed to many unwanted things in your life and you have to constantly prove yourself every day to someone. You have to live a completely different life to please someone without being angry or frustrated. In this process, you lose your individuality and fall prey to stress.

● You have to struggle really very hard to become a bollywood actor. There are many teenagers in India who are desperately wanting to become an actor. They are working on their body and mind regularly to get selected in a film and showcase their talent. To become an actor among such huge competition is very difficult and you have to be ready for this struggle.

● You might have to get along with other actors who are having a completely different personality and keep making strong connections with them. You might not always like these people personally but to stay in the limelight you will be required to go against your liking and make fake connections.

● As an actor, you earn a decent amount of money, but a huge portion of it goes in maintaining your status as a popular actor. But, there can be a phase in your acting life, where you could face a financial crisis. At such times, you feel very weak emotionally and lose your confidence.

● You would be required to try things out of your comfort zone just to get an opportunity to become an actor. Many bollywood actors have confessed about sexual harassment by top filmmakers just for the sake of an acting role. Such demands can leave you mentally and physically devastated, so you have to train yourself to face these challenges. But it is not that always you have to face such demands.

The life of a bollywood actor is glamorous and all the aspiring actors might feel like living it. But, it is also filled with many unexpressed pains and sorrows. The journey of becoming an actor is not at all easy and you have to work wholeheartedly if you want to become one.

“Don’t irritate, just meditate.”

Meditation is a process in which a person trains his mind to focus on a particular thing or work and prevent it from being distracted by other things in life. Meditation has been scientifically proven to provide various advantages both physically and physiologically.

I personally have been practising meditation for a few months and I can evidently see positive changes in my overall personality. I am listing down a few benefits of meditation:

● Meditation helps you to be more focussed in real life. It brings clarity in your thoughts and helps you to make better decisions in your life. It also keeps you away from all the distractions and helps you to stay motivated towards achieving your goal and be successful. You become more productive in your work due to meditation

● Meditation is powerful in eliminating the stress in your life if practised regularly. It trains your mind to deal with stress efficiently. Your body releases neurotransmitters like serotonin, dopamine, and endorphins during meditation. These are known to have a calming effect on your mind and body and provide happiness.

● Meditation makes you a confident person. It makes you believe in yourself and increases your self- esteem to make correct choices in your life. It teaches you to control your mind and use it in a way that is the most beneficial for you both professionally and personally.

● Meditation makes you mentally alert. It teaches you the necessary skills to tackle the problems of your life. It makes you smarter and increases your understanding of different things.

● Meditation makes you optimistic in life. You start thinking and focussing on the positivity and neglect the negativity surrounding you. You start feeling happy in your life.

● Meditation is a great way to get away from stress and also it is known to make you cheerful. Because of this, you are able to build stronger and healthier relationships with your family and friends, as you are able to communicate with them properly and be less angry or frustrated.

● Meditation can help you to sleep better. This, in turn, affects your overall health positively as getting good sleep has numerous benefits. It can improve your immune system, protect you from different types of diseases and relax your mind and body.

● Meditation can prove to be very useful in boosting your immunity power. It also lowers the blood pressure and reduces the risk of heart attack, kidney failure or any heart related diseases.

● Meditation makes you brave and fearless. It calms you and makes you strong from within. It gives you the required confidence to face any difficult situation in your life without anyone’s help.

● You get a glowing and a beautiful looking skin once you start practising meditation regularly. This is due to the release of good hormones in your body, reduced levels of stress in your life and your positive approach for life.

So, whenever you are feeling lost in your own busy world and want a break from your chaotic life. Just try to take out some time from your daily regimen and refresh yourself by meditating. Once you are done with it, you will feel energized from within and more joyful.

Communication work for those who work at it.

Communication is like a skill that you can learn.It’s like riding a bicycle or typing.if you are willing to work at it,you can rapidly improve the quality of every part of your life.In a lame language”Communication is a process through which one person can share his views,thoughts ,ideas to the other person”.A good communication acts as a tool through which we can connect to different people all around the Globe and create a network.It is not only necessary but it’s the need of the hour every individual whether he/she might be a student a professional etc must possesed good communication skills because this is the need of the hour.It allows you to get the trust of the people and at the same time carries better opportunities for the individuals.The significance of communication is that it is required in daily life it act as a catalyst in building relationships with people.It is mainly of two domain oral and written communication.There are many issues which can be handled through right and effective communication.It is useful in Corporate World as it’s foster strong team if efficient and proper communication is done through hierarchy.Even difficult to difficult issues can be solved and solutions can be graped through poweful communication.Someone has rightly said “The more we communicate the less we suffer and the better we feel about everything around”.

CHITRA, WHY DID YOU PAY MY HOTEL BILL? 🥰

The ticket collector came in and started checking people’s tickets. Suddenly, he looked in my direction and asked, ‘What about your ticket?”Not you, madam, the girl hiding below your berth. Hey, come out, where is your ticket?’ Someone was sitting below my berth. When the collector yelled at her, the girl came out of hiding.She was thin, dark, scared and looked like she had been crying profusely. She must have been about 13 or 14 years old. She had uncombed hair and was dressed in a torn skirt and blouse. She was trembling and folded both her hands. The collector started forcibly pulling her out from the compartment. Suddenly, I had a strange feeling. I stood up and called out to the collector. ‘Sir, I will pay for her ticket,’ I said.Then he looked at me and said, ‘Madam, if you give her ten rupees, she will be much happier with that than with the ticket.’I did not listen to him. I told the collector to give me a ticket to the last destination, Bangalore, so that the girl could get down wherever she wanted.Slowly, she started talking. She told me that her name was Chitra. She lived in a village near Bidar. Her father was a coolie and she had lost her mother at birth. Her father had remarried and had two sons with her stepmother. But a few months ago, her father died. Her stepmother started beating her often and did not give her food. She did not have anybody to support her so she left home in search of something better.By this time, the train had reached Bangalore. I said goodbye to Chitra and got down from the train. My driver came and picked up my bags. I felt someone watching me. When I turned back, Chitra was standing there and looking at me with sad eyes. But there was nothing more that I could do. I had paid her ticket out of compassion but I had never thought that she was going to be my responsibility!I told her to get into my car. My driver looked at the girl curiously. I told him to take us to my friend Ram’s place. Ram ran separate shelter homes for boys and girls. We at the Infosys Foundation supported him financially. I thought Chitra could stay there for some time and then we could talk about her future.Ram suggested that Chitra could go to a high school nearby. I said that I would sponsor her expenses. I left the shelter knowing that Chitra had found a home and a new direction in her life.I always enquired about Chitra’s well-being over the phone. She was studying well and her progress was good.. I offered to sponsor her college studies if she wanted to continue studying. But she said, ‘No, Akka. I have talked to my friends and made up my mind. I would do my diploma in computer science so that I can immediately get a job after 3 years.’ She wanted to become economically independent as soon as possible. Chitra obtained her diploma & got a job in a software company as an assistant testing engineer. When she got her first salary, she came to my office with a sari and a box of sweets.One day, I got a call from Chitra. She was very happy. ‘Akka, my company is sending me to USA! I wanted to meet you and take your blessings but you are not here in Bangalore.’Years passed. Occasionally, I received an e-mail from Chitra. She was doing very well in her career. She was posted across several cities in USA and was enjoying life. I silently prayed that she should always be happy wherever she was.Years later, I was invited to deliver a lecture in San Francisco for Kannada Koota, an organization where families who speak Kannada meet and organize events. The lecture was in a convention hall of a hotel and I decided to stay at the same hotel. After the lecture, I was planning to leave for the airport. When I checked out of the hotel room and went to the reception counter to pay the bill, the receptionist said, ‘Ma’am, you don’t need to pay us anything. The lady over there has already settled your bill. She must know you pretty well.’ I turned around and found Chitra there.She was standing with a young white man and wore a beautiful sari. She was looking very pretty with short hair. Her dark eyes were beaming with happiness and pride. As soon as she saw me, she gave me a brilliant smile, hugged me and touched my feet. I was overwhelmed with joy and did not know what to say. I was very happy to see the way things had turned out for Chitra. But I came back to my original question. ‘Chitra, why did you pay my hotel bill? That is not right.’ Suddenly sobbing, she hugged me and said, ‘Because you paid for my ticket from Bombay to Bangalore!'(Excerpted from Mrs. Sudha Murty’s ‘The Day I Stopped Drinking Milk’ )

SAY NO TO DRUGS

On International Day Against Drug Abuse and Illicit Trafficking, we should be more serious about this hazard, that destroys the lives of millions including youngsters.the theme for this year’s anti-drug abuse day Is “Better Knowledge for Better Care”. The main idea behind this theme is to stress upon the need of improving the understanding of the world drug problem.

The day is also marked as an expression of its determination to strengthen action as well as cooperation and achieve the society which is free of drug abuse.Around 35.6 million people across the world are victims of drug abuse, according to the World Drug Report 2020 published by the UN Office on Drugs and Crime. Young adults and teenagers account for the largest share of those using drugs and most of them suffer from HIV, Hepatitis C and other related diseases. Only one out of eight people who need treatment and rehabilitation are able to get it, according to the report.

So many people want to quit but they can’t due to lack of awareness and social stigma. We need to take a step to secure our life and future, this is our responsibility being a citizen of a country .

HERE ARE THE OPTIONS INDIA HAS LEFT IN THE BORDER STAND-OFF

When the border stand-off with China deepens, India will need to think of all potential diplomatic solutions in this crisis that will lend it leverage. New arrangements with a variety of foreign powers is one such factor which is often discussed in this sense. Most military analysts salivate at the possibility of an ever stronger coalition with the United States.

It is a good moment for mobilizing public sentiment on China. As China under Xi Jinping regime has seen an unprecedented degree of global alienation.  But can that be translated into concerted global action to bring real pressure to bear on China? India should pursue every avenue possible. Yet we would always have a thorough understanding of the limits of what can be achieved for India through new partnerships or agreements.

It’s important to remember that in the context of the development paradigm of a country , international relations are formed. India’s primary goal, if it can possibly articulate one, would be to maintain the optimum space for its growth model. In that way, India isn’t special. The alliance between the US and China may have arisen in the diplomatic effort to establish a break between the Sino-Soviets. But for decades this relationship was sustained not by a strategic logic, but by the logic of the developmental political economy in both the US and China, where they depended on each other reciprocally.

The technology model ‘s diplomatic prestige waned, and it is this fact that will be essentially the catalyst of the relationship between the US and China. The question for India is not just whether the US has any stake in the development of India, which it could have. Yet it is more a matter of how India’s infrastructure needs can fit into the evolving model of US growth. Will the very powers of the political economy which establish a disengagement with China also come in the way of closer relations with India? Some sections of American big business could be batting for India; but the underlying dynamics of the political economy are less favorable.

Would the US grant India the space it wants for commerce, intellectual property, legislation, agriculture, labour mobility, the very domains where democracy is essential to the economy of India? Can an American hell-bent on getting industrial jobs back to the U.S., comfortably fit with a Bharat “atma nirbhar?” To see what’s at stake, we need only look at how friction over the development paradigm drives tensions between the US and the EU on trade, taxation and regulatory issues.

There is sometimes a complaint in the US about India being invited but refusing enthusiastically to come to table. Given the salutary cultural and political impetus in this relationship there is some reality to this. Yet the causes of this, including climate change, have also been genuine disagreements in growth. It was also that this question was antithetical to the other strategic commitments of India at various points. India was wise to stay out of the Iraq war, it was wise not to completely spurn Russia, and it is wise not to throw its weight behind the US policy on Iran.

There’s more wisdom in the US to comprehend the role of India. But there is a section of India ‘s strategic community that sees India ‘s reluctance to go in with the U.S., hook line and sinker, as a sort of ideological wimpiness, not a sign of deeper-thought-out realism that it was.

It is a strange moment in global affairs, where a common challenge emanating from China is recognised, but there is no global appetite for concerted action. The global response to the BRI could be an interesting example. Many countries struggle to meet their debt obligations to the BRI. Most loans from China have been a millstone around the necks of the debtor countries. But it’s hard to see the rest of the international community help all these countries wean their regimes away from Chinese finance dependence. Similarly, there are now considerable concerns about frontier conflict areas such as cyber security and space.

WILL BABA RAMDEV’S MANTRA WORK THIS TIME TOO?

On 23rd of  June,2020 in a press conference held by Yoga Guru ,Ramdev Baba launched the “Coronil Kit”. As claimed by Baba Ramdev  ,the Coronil Kit is the only solution found till date against the pandemic. It is the first clinically  ,researched and tested medicine carried upon 280 patients in Haridwar, Delhi ,Meerut and Ahmedabad. The medicine which is  a joint effort by Patanjali Research Institute and National Institute of Medical Science, Jaipur  has shown 100% recovery rate in 7 days ,while 69% recovered within 3 days of time. During the launch, he continuously talked about immediately releasing the evidence of the research.

Coronil Kit

The corona kit consists of 3 medicines ,one of which is in liquid form, while the other two are in tablet form. The main ingredients in the tablet are Giloy, Tulsi and Ashvagandha. The entire kit costs around Rs.545. The kit would be available for free ,for those below the poverty line. The dosage prescribed for patients aged between 15-80 years of age is 2-2 tablet every half an hour after food ,to be taken along hot water. Whilst for those between the age of 6-14 years, would be given half the amount prescribed. The medicine would be initially available in the  Patanjali stores, but they’re very soon going to launch the e-commerce app, “Order Me” for online delivery.

According to the Government prescribed rules, any effort made without the permission from Ayush Ministry, is worthless. The Ayush Ministry has called for the full details about the medicine, since it’s unknown to them. They’ve  restricted them from advertising or selling the product, without their approval. The full details of the name of the company of the medicine, sample size ,the hospital where research is conducted. They’ve even asked the Uttarakhand State Licensing Authority to provide copy of the license issued to them. The Uttarakhand State Licensing Authority reported that Patanjali at the time of applying for the license, didn’t mention about the Covid-19.Instead ,they’d only approved license for being immunity boaster ,and cough ,fever. As a result, the Ayush Ministry issued circular by claim of misleading information, fake claims and misbranding. Before commenting anything on whether Patanjali violated the Protocol or not, they ’re waiting for the documents.

Recent news have proved how Patanjali had planned it to be a strategic move to earn lots of money , but seem to be failing instead. They’re in a total mess right now ,like the proper protocol for such trials is completely missing, besides having discrepancy with the CTRI. Inconsistencies which’ve risen have proved that only 100 were there for the trial  ,instead of 280 patients as reported. Out of this 100,half had taken the placebo drugs and only those patients who showed mild to moderate symptoms were the chosen ones.

Ayurveda has been an age long belief of Hindus, believing it has power to  cure them of any disease they want. Ramdev Baba had even before claimed of curing homosexuality, and had offered medicine with the power to make women conceive male child. It is because of such beliefs that Patanjali is now valued at Rs.3000 crore, and every here and now comes out with schemes to make money at the cost of people’s trust.

INFORMAL ORGANIZATION


Informal organization refers to relationships between individuals in the organization based on interest, personal attitudes, emotions, prejudices, likes, dislikes, physical location, the similarity of work et. The informal organization comes into existence because of the limitations of the formal structure and it represents a natural grouping of people in working situations and the birth of small groups in an organization is a natural phenomenon. The informal group may overlap because an individual may be a member of more than one informal group. Informal groups come into being to support and supplement the formal organization. The formal and informal organization are inextricably interlinked. As Joseph L. Massie said, “Informal organization has been defined as any human interactions that occur spontaneously and naturally over long periods of time”.

CHARACTERISTICS OF INFORMAL ORGANIZATION

The main characteristics of informal organization are:

  1. It has no place in the formal chart.
  2. It is definite and has no structure.
  3. It is a network of personal and social relations.
  4. It has its own rules and traditions.
  5. It provides for social satisfaction to its members.
  6. An informal organization arises spontaneously.
  7. It is an integral part of a total organization and management cannot eliminate it.
  8. It is based on personal attitudes, emotions likes and dislikes etc.

  ADVANTAGES OF INFORMAL ORGANIZATION

The informal organization is a psycho-social system and the main advantages of an informal organization are:

  1. Informal organization evolve short cuts and eliminate various individuals and departments.
  2. Informal organizations help in solving work problems of members.
  3. Informal groups recognise talented workers as their leaders.
  4. A manager can build better relations with his subordinates through informal contacts.
  5. Informal groups do not allow managers to cross the limits of authority.
  6. Informal groups often fill up the communication gaps which might arise in the organization.
  7. The informal organization may fill in gaps, if any, in the abilities of managers.
  8. Informal groups develop certain norms of behaviour which differentiate between good and bad conduct and between legitimate and illegitimate activities.

LIMITATIONS OF INFORMAL ORGANIZATION

Informal groups have negative aspects too. They may create problems for the organization as mentioned below:

  1. Informal groups generally tend to resist change and change requires new skills but informal groups want to maintain the status quo and this creates obstructions in implementing new ideas and thus organization’s growth.
  2. An informal leader may turn out to be a troublemaker for the organisation and to increase his influence, he may work against the policies of management, and try to manipulate the behaviour of his followers.
  3. Every member of an informal group is also a member of the formal organization and sometimes role conflict may arise because the ideas, expectations and requirements of both the organizations may be opposite to each other.
  4. An informal group exerts strong pressure on its members for conformity and the members may become so loyal to their group that following the group norms may become a part of their life.
  5. Informal communications may give rise to rumours which may create conflict and misunderstanding among the people and rumours may prove dangerous for the organization.
