:Kashmir has been hit by worst floods in a century causing great damage to life and property. Mahatma Gandhi  had famously quoted — ‘You must not lose faith inhumanity. Humanity is like an ocean; if a few drops of the ocean are dirty, the ocean does not become dirty.’ The ravaging floods in Kashmir have proven this quote not only right but humanity has emerged as clear winner with triumphing colors. Human hearts from all-over the world have come forward to heal the wounds of bruised souls irrespective of any barrier of religion, caste, creed or ideology. Local volunteers too have come together irrespective of community or religion to help each other in their time of need.

Within no time Payal Jagi, an eminent  and talented fashion designer based in Gurgaon (India)  felt the pain of flood hit victims of Kashmir and organized relief to affected people via Relief supplies for J&K (Gurgaon Group) and is ensuring its continuous disposal to affected people  via here team in Kashmir.

Sebastian, a 9 year old boy from United States of America , has raised $1100 for the flood affected victims of #Kashmir by selling lemonade on the streets of New York. Sebastian is supporting #BridgetoKashmir who are working to #RebuildKashmir.

 

On September 12 was another golden epitome  for humanity  , when Capital city Srinagar was under flood, an expecting mother from Western Indian state of Gujarat found home in a local mosque at Hyderpora to give birth to a baby daughter. Kiran, the newborn, was christened in the mosque by locals after the family from Gujarat, the home state of Indian Prime Minister, Narendra Modi, insisted that their saviors should name their baby.

Interestingly, Neeta, wife of Kishore from Gujarat, was brought to Hyderpora Jamia Masjid in a critical condition by rescuers from Bemina, one of the worst-hit areas by the shocking flood.

One of the unsung heroes of the rescue operation in Kashmir  Sajad Mohiuddin Sheikh hailing from Sopore  proved his mettle for human values  . He had  been continuously rescuing labourers, tourists, locals  marooned in the floods, and traveled to  Delhi  within no time in one flooded evening to immediately buy boats and return to Srinagar the next morning to continue with the brave  rescue operations.

On the otherhand, we had corporate professionals leaving their homes to rescue people. Kashmir’s top telecom professionals like Ashraf Ramzan Baba ,Muzakir Jaleel  and Javaid Dar rescued innumerable people from flooded areas and gave untiring efforts to rescue marooned people.

Apart from individual stories, collective stories of humanity too emerged .WhenMaisuma, Rajbagh, Jawahirnagar  got completely inundated the unaffected areas like Soura, Lalbazar , Buchpora opened their homes and converted them into community centers. Brave boys of Athrout NGO zigzagged through the floodedstreets of Jawahar Nagar in boats to help stranded residents. Senior pro-freedom leader Mirwaiz Molvi Muhammad Umar Farooq led Awami Action Committee operated in trucks and rescued families from Gogji Bagh when portions of a scenic Amar Singh College drowned in more than  20 feet water, and Awami Action Committee continues to provide food to hungry and medicine to ailing.

Each unaffected area has been converted into a ‘Relief Committee” for flood hit people.

In short, the saga of humanity thrived and fascist tendencies died in epic Kashmirfloods.

The draconian act is no more. The supreme court of India few days back  gave its verdict to struck down Section 66A of the Information & Technology Act claiming it as unconstitutional. The Information Technology Act that made posting “offensive” comments or hatred posts online or electronically a crime punishable by jail for the period of three years.The court quashed the controversial act, saying the section violated the fundamental right to freedom of expression, under article 19(1) (a) of the Indian Constitution.It is 1^st time in the history of India that they gave importance to “free speech” rather than the act.

What is Section 66A of IT act?

The Information Technology Act 2000 was amended in the year 2008. This amended act contains the much debated 66A section. It imposes punishment for sending offensive messages through communication service.

According to CIS-India.org, 66A applies to these cases:

Any person who sends, by means of a computer resource or a communication device, —

(a) Any information that is grossly offensive or has menacing character; or

(b) Any information which he knows to be false, but for the purpose of causing annoyance, inconvenience, danger, obstruction, insult, injury, criminal intimidation, enmity, hatred or ill will, persistently by making use of such computer resource or a communication device,

(c) Any electronic mail or electronic mail message for the purpose of causing annoyance or inconvenience or to deceive or to mislead the addressee or recipient about the origin of such messages shall be punishable with imprisonment for the period of three years or less and with fine.

Who Filed PIL And Why?

The first PIL on the issue was filed in 2012 by law student ShreyaSinghal, who sought amendment in section 66A of the act after two girls — ShaheenDhada and RinuShrinivasan — were arrested in Palghar in Thane district after one of them posted a comment on Facebook against the shutdown in Mumbai following Shiv Sena leader Bal Thackeray’s death and the other ‘liked’ the post

In the wake of numerous complaints of harassment and arrests, the apex court had on May 16, 2013 issued an advisory that a person, accused of posting objectionable comments on social networking sites, cannot be arrested without police getting permission from senior officers like IG or DCP.After the apex court reserved its judgement in the matter on February 26 this year, another controversial case hogged the limelight for alleged misuse of section 66A in which a boy was arrested on March 18 for allegedly posting on Facebook objectionable comments against senior Samajwadi Party leader Azam Khan.

The draconian act invades internet freedom. It arbitrarily, excessively and disproportionately invades the right of free speech.This act was misused by bureaucrats and politicians to suppress their enemies in a legal way. In the past few years, the provision has been invoked to make several arrests. On behalf of the victims, several petitions were moved in the Supreme Court, and these were heard at length by the court.

As we all know India is diverse nation, though freedom of free speech is in its main fundamental principles. Every person has his own right to express his views verbally or non- verbally. A person has right of free speech, and can comment his views regarding any person on internet or by using any electronic mean. Although there are many acts which can lead to blocking  of those websites which post abusive content or any offensive comment. Arresting people on giving their personal views or comments will increase hate among masses towards government and may lead to civil war against government.

If the act was not taken down, the dream of making digital media will be amystery for BJP government. To make India digitalise with modern internet technologies; every person has right to express his views in or against it. Every person can give his personal verdict for any minister or any bureaucrat, can post joke and can make cartoons all it comes under person’s personal views. Those who are in power must be tolerant and liberal towards criticism.The draconian acts needs to be taken down to save India from abrogating freedom of speech as the act in question struck down had occupied freedom of speech.

After the Supreme Court’s verdict, each and every person on social networking portals thanked ShreyaSinghal for filing PIL. Now any person can post his views, on electronic and social portal,can raise their voice for any politician who is harassing people with his power without any fear of getting arrest. For this reason or another, people are likely to shout “ShreyaZindabad” or “Freedom of speech Zindabad”.

It’s been a while, since Kashmir was hit by the wrath of river Jehlum but the loss is still immense, the pain still exists and the trauma is still so fresh in our minds.

Even now I recall the tragedy which befell on the people of the valley and it fills me with horror. It must have been day 5 or day 6 of the flood when I visited Bemina, Tengpora for the first time. Houses were still inundated, cars submerged and people who were owners of multi storied houses just five days back, were striving to survive in tents on the divider. They were literally in the middle of the road.

It was  these streets, that bore witness to this massive destitution that my attention was caught by a limping horse, he had a broken hoof. It was completely displaced and tilted upwards. The horse was trying to cross the road assumingly look for grass to sustain.

This horse was limping, he was right there, he was in unbearable pain, and he had lost the ability to fend for himself. Nature had stuck him with its fury in a way that left him shelter less and he was right there on the road, he was in unbearable pain. His big eyes filled with sorrow and the black leather of his body covered with mud .The mud that that the soaring water of Jehlum had bought with it. The mud laden horse had lost its pride and its home. He was in the middle of the road, right in front of the eyes, but no one cared!

This pain of his broken hoof seemed in so many ways similar to the loss that Kashmiris felt. Thousands became shelter less overnight but their pain, their unbearable pain did not seem to bother the authorities at all. People, who clearly had lost the ability to fend for themselves, were left to their own fate. O, of course there came the magnificent relief truck, sorry A relief truck came, which threw biscuits on the road and people were left with no option but to fetch them. It does not take a genius to figure out what the share of the old, the weak and ill would have been.

Was it too much too expect that somebody from the authorities would put in efforts of making a line or keeping a local constable to check the crowd to ensure fair distribution ,as much as could be realistically expected. All that I could see in this place which had echoed the misfortune that fell on the valley ,was a relief camp board with a couple of empty chairs and a small tent set up by local volunteers who were trying their best but were clearly under equipped to do so.

I saw young boys fighting, physically pushing each other for a bottle of water, this was no playground tussle it was a battle for survival. But why did it have to come to this? Even if we keep aside the spoilt brat excuses on the lack and failure of rescue efforts from the state government machinery, why on earth did they lag behind so pathetically in the relief efforts? If it weren’t for the locals who took upon themselves the herculean task ofrelief, people who had somehow managed to swim, crawl, limp to safety with broken hopes from the trauma of seeing all they had being washed away ,would have starved to death. Many would have died because of the lack of life saving medicines.

The next day I requested a friend who was working as a volunteer to see whatever help could be provided to the people of this area .He identified around 10 tents and approximately 70 people, he and his friends tried to provide basic amenities to these people but there were so many more who were in an equally if not in a more dire state.

 

It wasn’t something that could have been managed by few volunteers, it required proper administration, and dare I say the assistance of the elected representatives. Hope kept coming in the form of local volunteers and help groups, sun’s heat dewatered some of the streets and lanes and things are better now.

But this is now, back then when there was urgent and pressing need to nurse the wounds and save the handicapped hopes; the people who should have come forward were completely oblivious.

 

Although I visit this place quite often, it seemed like a place I had never seen before. The marsh lands I saw every time used to be filled with tress and surrounded by houses, they now seemed like a deep water body that had claimed its place so well, it seemed to have owned it forever.

There were boats and the water accumulation, it did not appear to be just stagnated water, it seemed to have a life of its own, it was calm and I say with astonishment it seemed friendly like it wasn’t even remotely responsible for the loss of life, property, cattle and a sense of safety. Had this black steed not be standing there, in such agony, the wrath of the water that made him handicapped would have been impossible to fathom.

It seemed to be subtly mocking the inhabitants for the lack of empathy and lack of concern the people who were supposed to care had shown. It was making fun of how they had completely been abandoned. It put on a face, so serene that it made it almost impossible to believe that it was what is responsible for breaking the hoof!

People write for a variety of reasons. For some, it is a career; for others, a hobby. Some write because it helps them to sort out their feelings. Some have a story to tell. And some write because nothing in the world makes them happier.

Have you ever really thought about it? I don’t mean the surface reasons. I mean, what is it about writing that you love? What makes you shake off the disappointment of rejection letters and want to start again? Why are some of us so sure that we were meant to write and others avoid it like the plague?

Before talking about people, let me introduce my perspective towards writing. I write because my passion demands me so. The passion in my heart and soul need to come out, so writing is the only way that I can do this. Passion is what makes a writer. If you do not have passion for what you are doing, well, you won’t be able to write. I write because I want someone to feel something. I write from my experiences, hoping that someone might learn something, feel happy or even enjoy sadness.

Aside from the fact that writing is an inescapable part of everyday life, there are many good reasons you should make a good session of writing part of your daily routine, even if it’s just a few hundred words. You don’t have to be a pro to reap the benefits of creating the written word. Writing can have enormous positive benefits in your life and let me name some of them.

Writing can be therapeutic. It can be a way to vent all the pent-up frustrations burdening your mind into a far less volatile form, paper (or screen). You can address your anger, fear, worry and stress without bludgeoning the person who embodies those emotions for you with a paperweight.

Writing can serve as a form of cathartic stress relief where you finally get to say what you can’t say out loud, in real life. Just don’t let your vented feelings get into the wrong hands, or you may end up paying some pretty hefty blackmail cash. A daily writing habit gives you regular time to sweep your mind for forgotten tasks and ideas that have been fermenting in the back of your head without your knowledge. It allows you to take the unordered thoughts floating around your head like lost puppies in zero gravity, and turn them into ordered plans and actions.

Another benefit of writing every day is, even in a stream-of-consciousness, unedited format will maintain and gradually improve your writing skills, and since dealing with the written word is a fundamental part of daily modern life, there’s nothing bad about that.

Get away from the constant low-quality input and output systems of day-to-day life, such as meaningless small-talk and weather conversations, text messaging, Twitter, checking the mailbox, and most email and many websites. You receive and create barrages of useless distractions that don’t help you or the people you know; sitting down to write lets you get away from it all. It’s important to keep the noise to a minimum so you can focus on creating and receiving strong material, things that are really worth reading and writing.

Part of the reason so many people do not get what they want in life is because they do not know what they want from it. Certainly not the main reason that people don’t get what they want, but in so many cases it is the obstacle. How can you get what you want or achieve your dreams if you’re not 100% clear on what they are?

Writing each day gives you time to think carefully and reflect on what you want to achieve the most, and develop a clearer, achievable image and plan for that result.

In a fast-paced society it’s easy to forget things like what you believe in and what you’re doing this (whatever this may be) for. Letting words flow out of your brain unedited can introduce you to a part of yourself you’d been censoring from yourself to cope with everyday life. Why did you start down the path you’re currently on? This is an important question whether you consider your current path to have begun on the weekend, or a decade ago. Discontentment, disillusionment, and unhappiness often come from forgetting why we’re doing something (or, on a different track, not having a good reason for living a certain way) and it is important to keep those simple reasons at the forefront of your mind or you run the risk of letting your life become a series of boring, menial actions. It’s not only important to remind yourself of your motives for your current actions; it’s important to monitor your actions to see if they align with your life goals so that you can change them. Sometimes, the only way to keep such a close monitor on your actions and goals is to write about them every day.

One of the most instrumental changes in my life has been writing every single day. For many years I was a writer who didn’t write that regularly. It was always on the back of my mind to write, but I didn’t find the time. But now, I tend to write every day. I think for people like us (Kashmiris) who have suffered their share of traumatic experiences, Writing can help us carve those experiences into words. In this way, this could be something meaningful for our next generations to come. Do write, do it every day!

History has been created in Jammu and Kashmir. The BJP, which won a single seat in the 2002 Assembly elections in the State, increased its tally to impressive 11 in the 2008 elections, which were conducted immediately after the land row agitation during which several small Hindu organizations, along with the BJP, consolidated the region’s Hindu votebank. This election, the BJP stood second after the PDP, with 25 seats and gained massive electoral gains ,  all from the Jammu region.

The coalition government, led jointly by the People’s Democratic Party and the Bharatiya Janata Party, which came into existence recently is a stunning political event.  Who would have imagined that when a Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh pracharak for many years would be Prime Minister, the BJP would win 25 seats to influence the course of political and cultural events in Kashmir? Who knew that one day he would depute his hawkish confidante and party President Amit Shah to supervise the Common Minimum Programme between the BJP and PDP, also called the Agenda of the Alliance — exaggerated by some as the ‘second Instrument of Accession’? Who would have thought that Shah would depute the BJP’s newly appointed General Secretary Ram Madhav, who for years has been a popular face of the RSS, to negotiate a deal with the PDP — a party known for its soft stand on Kashmiri separatists, whom the RSS dubs as anti-nationals?

A day after the BJP and the PDP announced that they would form a coalition government in Jammu and Kashmir, a sense of coming to power prevails in the Hindu-majority Jammu where the BJP won all its seats.

 

“For BJP, its blitzkrieg of ‘Mission 44 +’ worked out well to touch the highest ever mark of 25. So the next move was to be in the power structure as it was a ‘now or never’ situation for the party. To be a power player in the only Muslim majority state is surely a dream come true,” noted political commentator, Shujaat Bhukari, wrote in Rising Kashmir.

If we look back in election rallies both parties PDP & BJP have always opposed each other, in jammu region BJP have said that PDP is an anti Indian party while as in Kashmir PDP has said that BJP is the real enemy of kashmiries since 1947.

While both the PDP and the BJP have climbed down from their stated positions for forming the government this time, people in Jammu see this as a victory, unlike in Kashmir, where the majority feels betrayed by the PDP.

 

Not only that but if we look on the voter turnout most of new voters voted in favour of PDP just to put BJP out from Jammu and Kashmir But presently  people in Kashmir Valley remain wary. Mufti himself had described the PDP-BJP alliance as unification of “North Pole and South Pole”, but recently, senior PDP leader and chief spokesperson of the party, Naeem Akhtar, described the alliance as the “miracle of democracy.”

 

“We voted to keep BJP out of power but the same BJP would rule us now. This is not what we have voted for. This is not why we trusted Mufti saheb. We feel cheated and the PDP will face the consequences of its alliance with BJP in Kashmir in coming years,” Nazir Ahmed Wagay, who lives in Anantnag, said.

 

And the new voters as well as the youth of Kashmir is writing such things; “After Sheikh Mohammad Abdullah, Mufti Mohammad Sayeed’s will be the second grave to require police protection if PDP allies with the BJP,” Showkat Reshi, a student at University of Kashmir, wrote on Facebook.

Both sides have different agendas and perspectives on Kashmir’s history. Both sides, as Mufti said to the television cameras after meeting Prime Minister Narendra Modi, were as different as the ‘South and North Poles.’ Still, the alliance of the opposite poles has been woven carefully and craftily.  Mufti spoke from the heart when he met Modi for 70 minutes at the prime minister’s office. He told Modi and later the media that a flight from Srinagar to Jammu takes 20 minutes and a journey by road 6 hours, but the emotional distance has remained for the last 60 years that should be bridged by the PDP-BJP government.

The momentous time has put a huge burden on the shoulders of Prime Minister Modi and Chief Minister Sayeed, who will have to work pragmatically to see that their parties ensure the agenda of the alliance fructifies. Both men have an opportunity to turn statesmen.

In Mufti’s case, his success will help a torn state that has seen only tragedies to experience peace. The PDP-BJP’s harmony, while delivering development and justice to the people, will give the state an opportunity to grow and shed some painful memories. Of course, their success will help not just India and Jammu and Kashmir, but also the geopolitical territory.

If Mufti succeeds, his legacy will strengthen the efforts of his daughter Mehbooba Mufti to carve out her future. Modi can kick start from Jammu and Kashmir the historic transformation of his exclusionist party towards an inclusive political journey.

It was one of the most difficult agenda-setting exercises in recent history. Both parties were aware on day one that a consensus was unlikely. There would only be an agreement to understand the differences that could be put it in perspective to run the development agenda.

So, in the common agenda setting exercise, has the PDP won or the BJP? It is difficult to say. Such agendas, however balanced or one-sided, can be judged only after it is put to the test.

Also, since the PDP-BJP alliance faces more odds than favourable conditions, all stakeholders will have ultra-cautious optimism.

If any one side had dominated the agenda it would have made the alliance a non-starter. It seems the BJP will be a little flexible in Mufti’s efforts to bring into the mainstream one section of the Hurriyat and separatists leaders, while on the issue of the Jammu region’s woes, Mufti will be liberal. If Mufti can do both, then the BJP and India should thank him.

The BJP had the chance to have its own chief minister if Omar Abdullah had agreed to an alliance. Sources say Abdullah met BJP leaders in New Delhi, but after he returned to Srinagar his party forced him to ditch the BJP.

The National Conference has 15 seats and the BJP 25 in the state assembly. In the 87-member assembly, a BJP-National Conference alliance would have got the BJP its own CM, but Abdullah’s party thinks a PDP-BJP alliance is unworkable.

The PDP, the National Conference believes, will be the bigger loser if that happens. And once it suffers a setback, Mehbooba, Omar Abdullah’s arch rival, will suffer the most.

If and when the PDP-BJP alliance fails, it is argued Abdullah will be able to deal with the BJP from a position of strength. RSS-BJP leaders think that Jammu and Kashmir is India’s most important state, not just for India’s security, but for the country’s identity. Modi has taken up a pragmatic step by not selecting the National Conference, but the PDP to form a coalition government

The recent attack on a girl student of law college is an example of ignominy , affront ,immorality and fall which reveals up to what level our society has reached .In this heart rending episode young spinsters face was badly disfigured.   This episode happened in crowd during day time and in an area where possibility of such  incidents  happening  is very rare.

The question here arises is, whether this episode should be interpreted as legal perversity or to be called a result of demolishing moral edification of society .For such kind of episodes who is responsible electronic media which now and then use to display such crimes and sins in an exaggerated manner like in serials, movies etc or lack of moral education which was best sourced by parents ,teachers and guides.

Various religious ,political organisations as well as sagacious people of society expressed their pain on  this grievous act and asked for the severe  retribution to the culprits ,but for the extirpation of social evils no one has raised its effective consideration and deliberation  .Few questions are here to be focused

Ist :  Why any person without criminal background would perpetrate such acts of crime?

2nd  : Why human relations and life is meant so cheap that from any one such perilous mistake can be done?

3rd:   Will stiff laws be successful in forbidding these culpable acts?

4th:  What kind of protective measures will be serviceable in resisting such crimes?

Another question is that by giving punishment to the culprits can affected minor’s figure will be reinstated or restored?

Religious statements, emotions of sympathy ,words of disquietude and speeding up patrolling of police will not be able to stop such kind of crimes .

In Kashmir education is common .New generation is being adorned with  jewel of education .Youth talks much about morality and religion  but when it attains wrong way even evils head down of shame .In past valley had little literate irrespective of little education people were wise ,well mannered, and cordial before civilization they were not dissolute ,debauchee, ferocious and ravenous whole society was enriched with wealth of manners ,virtues ,morality , ethics and kindness, this being the reason why Kashmir was called as Pir  Waer ( land of saints) .Today there is abundance of education but people are lead to astray paths  .Society is at decline in its virtues .Social evils have stepped into life of common people. In one way TV internet dominating and controlling the minds on the other hand male, female illicit relations ,ill thoughts and bad company has become the cause of day to day  criminal acts.

Modest ,moral ,cultured youth has to come forward with new enthusiasm, ebullition, new institutions , new ambition and  from all sides and corners of society it is necessary to remove social immorality ,pollution of wickedness ,impurity of souls minds and hearts ,this is call of times .Youth should have moral education so that it would apply to him or her individually and which would ultimately be fruitful / useful to society and also with others its conduct should be better .He / She should realize the individual as well as collective responsibility

Man must be scared of almighty the supreme this is fountain head of qualities which one can have and is strong resistance to every evil doings and immorality .There are thousands of ways to spare from law and we can gust dust into eyes of police but if epithet of fear of god and abstinence come into being in man ,then even from being away  from  clutches of police or from any one ,a person cannot even courage to think of violating  any law whether man made or law of almighty.

In our mother tongue Village is commonly known as “GHAAM”. Village is euphorically an amazing place where a stressful soul can relish the beauty of nature. The village life is full of ravishing beauty because of various things like enjoying with neighbors, full of ecstatic and social duties of respective members of every family. The people together can take part in various festivals to relish the beauty of festivals. People also take part in neighbors work and together they relish the work with ease. Somehow village life is gifted by the creator but it would be more gifted if the government will take part in its development.

Let me talk about my village {Check-Kanispora} which falls in Baramulla block about 9 km from the main Baramulla town. It has neither a well maintained road nor even it has any transportation services. The locals are in a state of acute pain due to the bad condition of road. It has made travel risk prone. Electricity  supply is erratic and safe drinking water is yet to reach in our village. What makes me anguish about my village, is the education system. Here education system is suffering very badly on all fronts. As we are well aware that education is the backbone of any nation that grooms its citizen to grimace and kind of hard-knocks with braveness and boost them to acquire more and more feasible ways to achieve the quality of excelling in lives. It would be only possible when you have a better quality of education rather I can say best quality of education. Let me talk about the education system of my village. In our village we have got two schools one is Middle and second  is primary school. It’s our bad luck that both schools are rented. At  times various zonal education officers came to observe the schools of my village and at various times they assured us that they will provide a government building with effervescing playground where students can take part easily in various curriculum activities. Neither had they provided a government building nor does the students have been given quality education. Our children are not able to read the things properly, memorizing the things is so far away. Other worst thing is that in our middle school we have seven teachers for 30-students. At the same time we have three teachers in our primary school for six students. It’s totally pathetic. Our education officers do no’t take this matter earnestly, as they are under deep slumber. Now we have a hope that our newly education minister Mr. Naeem Akhtar sb will take this matter seriously. Sir as we know education is essential for the progress of all human societies. Education gives us hope to raise the nation towards development but it seems impossible in our hapless valley particularly in my village as the present system is very much defective. Here schools are rented with least presence of students, it would not matter for me or for the people of my village if they provide an education in  rented schools but what makes me agonizing and the people of my village is that our students don’t get a best quality of education. Believe me it created a string twinge in my heart as our children don’t know the basics of their books.

And the worst thing is that neither the respective teachers take this matter gravely nor the chief education officer of Baramulla. Why should they take care about the children life of my village? As their children get their education in most reputable schools of district Baramulla. But what about the children of my village as they get their education where their teachers are not able to provide them a good quality of education. I would humbly request to you {Respected Naeem Akhtar sb} on behalf of the people of my village and the respective students of the school, please take this matter seriously, and think for a while about the future of our hapless children.

I did my job as I have highlighted few issues because every individual has its own role in their own society to lead the nation towards the development, now it’s your turn to look at these things, hope you people will emphatically ponder on these issues. I would like to end my issue by sayings of Anujsomany: The true value of an education is in providing a wisdom tool to each and every student to make a good life than merely making a living out of the acquired knowledge from the school.
