World Wetlands Day is raised to spread awareness about the value of Wetlands for humanity and the planet. Theme for World Wetlands Day 2019 is “Wetlands and Climate Change”

Wetlands are a critical part of our natural environment. They protect our shores from wave action, reduce the impacts of floods, absorb pollutants and improve water quality. They provide habitat for animals and plants and many contain a wide diversity of life, supporting plants and animals that are found nowhere else.

Wetlands provide an important range of environmental, social and economic services. Many wetlands are areas of great natural beauty and many are important to Aboriginal people.

Wetlands also provide important benefits for industry. For example, they form nurseries for fish and other freshwater and marine life and are critical to countries commercial and recreational fishing industries.

Wetlands are the vital link between land and water.

So, it is very important to protect wetlands for the sustainable development of nature, humanity and planet.

National Girl Child Day

Girl- Existence of “She” is the base of beautiful life!

Girl plays variety of significant roles in our society from their birth till the end of life. Girl are considered as the Goddess (Saraswati, Mahalaxmi and Kalika) in the Indian society from the ancient time, but even after playing her all the roles and the entire job timely in efficient manner in the modern society, she is weak because men are still strongest gender of the society. It’s a saying that “If you educate a boy; you’ll educate a boy, but if you educate a girl, you educate a generation.” It is very true because, if a boy is getting educated and empowered, only he can be benefitted however if a girl is getting educated and empowered, whole family and society can be benefitted. In recent times, Girls are setting up their own goals in each and every career head to head with Boys. Still nothing goes right and even after lots of awareness programs, rules and regulations in the society by the Government, Her life is more complicated than a Boy. She has to take care of herself and family members as daughter, granddaughter, sister, daughter-in-law, wife, mother, mother-in-law, grandmother, etc. By following such a big responsibility in the family, they are fully able to come out and do job for bright future of own, family and country.  Therefore, it is very important to change the mindset of the people rather than making changes in the rules and regulations. We’re celebrating “National Girl Child Day” today and should think of it before going ahead. Lastly, I’ll conclude saying that “Girls are real architects of Society.”

Netaji Subhash Chandra Bose Jayanti

“Life loses half its interest if there is no struggle- if there are no risks to be taken.”

Netaji Subhash Chandra Bose inspired and bought millions of youngsters into the freedom struggle during India’s Independence through his “Azad Hind Sena” saying “Give Me Blood and I’ll give You Freedom” and then setting up the milestone of “Indian National Army” leading from the front as “Netaji” and will always be the same in the hearts of Indians forever! Jai Hind!
