what i wish for my country

 Reference can be taken from


 I am an Indian. I love my motherland. I wish to make it an ideal country in the world. I dream of making India a richer, happier and healthier place to live in. I want to see my country progress in all fields of life. Today people have grown selfish. There is injustice everywhere we always think of our own interests. But we do not think of the welfare of the nation. I like every Indian to have national character. In the India of my dream, every man will have a high moral sense and a deep love for the nation.

India-my motherland, with its mighty Himalayas looks like a golden bird flying high all above the sky with its cultures, traditions and with many advanced developments in science and technology. I am very proud to be an Indian. I love my country and I want to be the best in the world. I wish that my country should become a great nation with its talent and capability.
I have a sweet little dream for my motherland. People in India should be self-sufficient in food for which we have to make the barren lands productive. New varieties of seeds and modern tools should be used for agriculture which is the backbone of Indian economy.
The India of my dreams is a corruption-free nation. Beggary should be abolished; government should be people-friendly and citizens should consider it to be their duty to do something constructive for the nation.

When the Constitution came into force in 1950, no Fundamental Duties were enshrined in the Constitution of India. By the 42nd Amendment to the Constitution of India in 1976, ten Fundamental Duties have been added to our Constitution. These duties are important and necessary for the vital interest of our country. These Fundamental Duties are covered by Article 51 A incorporated in a new chapter, Part IV-A of the Constitution. Under this Article, it shall be the duty of every citizen of India –

(i) to abide by the Constitution and respect the National Flag and the National Anthem;
(ii) to cherish and follow the noble ideals which inspired our national struggle for freedom;
(iii) to protect the sovereignty, unity and integrity of India ;
(iv) to defend the country ;
(v) to promote the spirit of common brotherhood amongst all the people of India ;
(vi) to preserve the rich heritage of our composite culture ;
(vii) to protect and improve the natural environment ;
(viii) to develop the scientific temper and spirit of inquiry ;
(ix) to safeguard public property ;
(x) to strive towards excellence in all spheres of individual and collective activity

Fundamental Duties are like some noble advice of which some are civic duties and others are moral duties. They are not legally binding upon the citizens and even the courts can not enforce them. So, Fundamental Duties are not enforceable by the courts of our country. No one can be punished if he/she does not perform his/her duties. Though there is no legal force behind these duties, yet they are integral part to the Constitution of India. These duties have moral impact and educative value upon the citizens. Therefore people obey these duties on moral obligation for welfare of the people. After all inclusion of Fundamental Duties in the Constitution is considered necessary towards progress, peace and prosperity of the country.

Though there is no provision in the Constitution for direct enforcement of any of these duties nor for any sanction to prevent their violation, yet some Fundamental Duties are enforceable by the courts of the country. Duties like abide by the Constitution, respect the National Flag and the National Anthem, to defend the country and render National service when called upon to do so and safeguard public property etc. fall in this category and the courts can enforce them if it find reasonable relation with laws of the country. But there are some inherent draw backs of these Fundamental Duties. Actually Fundamental Duties are not binding upon the citizen. Duties inscribed in the Constitution are not exhaustive, while some duties are ambiguous. So, common people could not understand them. Yet these duties are important for National interest of our country. These duties have sanctity of its own. Besides these duties have moral and educative value upon citizen of our country. People fells that for proper enjoyment of rights, duties must be performed in a well manner. Because rights and duties are related to each other. Every right implies a corresponding duty towards individual and social welfare. Rights can not be separated from duties and vice-versa . Therefore, both rights and duties are important for the prosperity of the country in a similar manner.

The functions and importance of a free press in democratic society

Reference on said topic can be taken form following source

 The right to freedom of speech as one of the basic human rights is enshrined in main international human rights documents. Freedom of speech (synonym Freedom of expression [1]) is the inseparable element of a democratic society. Whether the society is democratic or not can be defined by the factor of independent press and mass media.

Freedom of speech and expression may bring to the control over the state authorities exercised by the society and to the maintenance of the self-controlled society, which is the demand of democracy. The definition of a self-controlled society means that it itself shall make own decisions. And the society can do this in case it is informed in aggregate with the open exchange of opinions. Abraham Lincoln, generally, expressed this conception as follows: “Let the people be aware of the facts, and the country will be calm”. [2] Hence, mass media as an instrument for the exercising of freedom of speech and expression gains importance for a democratic society.

Main functions of mass media are to cover the events, gather and spread information and finally to control the activities of state authorities. It used to be said that the mass media is the fourth power after the Executive, Legislative and Judiciary. The society, in its turn, may exercise control over the authorities only in case it is aware of its actions and if necessary can intervene; for instance through voting during the elections.

Freedom of speech is the right to communicate one's opinions and ideas without fear of government retaliation or censorship. The term freedom of expression is sometimes used synonymously, but includes any act of seeking, receiving and imparting information or ideas, regardless of the medium used.
Governments restrict speech with varying limitations. Common limitations on speech relate to libel, slander, obscenity, pornography, sedition, incitement, fighting words, classified information, copyright violation, trade secrets, non-disclosure agreements, right to privacy, right to be forgotten, public security, public order, public nuisance, campaign finance reform and oppression. Whether these limitations can be justified under the harm principle depends upon whether influencing a third party's opinions or actions adversely to the second party constitutes such harm or not. Governmental and other compulsory organizations often have policies restricting the freedom of speech for political reasons, for example, speech codes at state schools.

The Universal Declaration of Human Rights (UDHR) is a declaration adopted by the United Nations General Assembly on 10 December 1948 at the Palais de Chaillot, Paris. The Declaration arose directly from the experience of the Second World War and represents the first global expression of rights to which all human beings are inherently entitled. The full text is published by the United Nations on its website.^[1]
The Declaration consists of thirty articles which have been elaborated in subsequent international treaties, regional human rights instruments, national constitutions, and other laws. The International Bill of Human Rights consists of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights, the International Covenant on Economic, Social and Cultural Rights, and the International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights and its two Optional Protocols. In 1966, the General Assembly adopted the two detailed Covenants, which complete the International Bill of Human Rights. In 1976, after the Covenants had been ratified by a sufficient number of individual nations, the Bill took on the force of international law

Press Council of India was first set up in the year 1966 by the Parliament on the recommendations of the First Press Commission with the object of preserving the freedom of the press and of maintaining and improving the standards of press in India. The present Council functions under the Press Council Act, 1978. It is a statutory, quasi judicial authority functioning as a watchdog of the press, for the press and by the press. It adjudicates the complaints against and by the press for violation of ethics and for violation of the freedom of the press respectively.
The Press Council is headed by a Chairman, who has by convention, been a retired judge of the Supreme Court of India. The Council consists of 28 other members of whom 20 represent the press and are nominated by the press organisations/news agencies recognised and notified by the Council as all India bodies of categories such as editors, working journalists and owners and managers of newspaper and news agencies, five members are nominated from the two Houses of Parliament and three represent cultural, literary and legal fields as nominees of the Sahitya Academy, University Grants Commission and the Bar Council of India. The members serve on the Council for a term of three years. A retiring member shall be eligible for renomination for not more than one term.
The Council is funded by the revenue collected by it as fee levied on the registered newspapers in the country on the basis of their circulation. No fee is levied on newspapers with circulation less than 5000 copies. The deficit is made good by way of grant by the Central Government.

http://presscouncil.nic.in/Content/1_1_Introduction.aspx
 Freedom of the press or freedom of the media is the freedom of communication and expression through mediums including various electronic media and published materials. While such freedom mostly implies the absence of interference from an overreaching state, its preservation may be sought through constitutional or other legal protections.
With respect to governmental information, any government may distinguish which materials are public or protected from disclosure to the public based on classification of information as sensitive, classified or secret and being otherwise protected from disclosure due to relevance of the information to protecting the national interest. Many governments are also subject to sunshine laws or freedom of information legislation that are used to define the ambit of national interest.
The United Nations' 1948 Universal Declaration of Human Rights states: "Everyone has the right to freedom of opinion and expression; this right includes freedom to hold opinions without interference, and impart information and ideas through any media regardless of frontiers"
This philosophy is usually accompanied by legislation ensuring various degrees of freedom of scientific research (known as scientific freedom), publishing, press and printing the depth to which these laws are entrenched in a country's legal system can go as far down as its constitution. The concept of freedom of speech is often covered by the same laws as freedom of the press, thereby giving equal treatment to spoken and published expression.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Freedom_of_the_press

Freedom of speech and expression subject to reasonable restrictions is a fundamental right guaranteed by the Indian Constitution. India celebrates its freedom of press which has been played an important role in the evolution of the Indian society over the decades. The freedom of speech is bolstered by the Right to Information. The role of the media is not only to disseminate information but also to help the society form opinions and make sound decisions. In this manner, the media plays an important role in governance of the nation. The author has explained the meaning and scope of the terms ‘freedom of speech and expression’ and ‘right to information’ with emphasis on the former being an important aspect of the Indian constitution. The author has then explained the role of the media vis a vis governance of a country. Being a democratic country, where the decision of the masses is supreme, mass media is in instrumental in ensuring that the people make informed decisions. Further, it is through the media that the masses are able to voice their opinions. Appreciation of the role of the media in good governance is essential to societal development

The role i can play in my community to uphold children right

One can take the reference of following links for detail studies in Child Right


http://ncpcr.gov.in/  National Commission for Protection of Child Rights

The National Commission for Protection of Child Rights (NCPCR) was set up in March 2007 under the Commission for Protection of Child Rights Act, 2005, an Act of Parliament (December 2005). The Commission's Mandate is to ensure that all Laws, Policies, Programmes, and Administrative Mechanisms are in consonance with the Child Rights perspective as enshrined in the Constitution of India and also the UN Convention on the Rights of the Child. The Child is defined as a person in the 0 to 18 years age group.

The Commission visualises a rights-based perspective flowing into National Policies and Programmes, along with nuanced responses at the State, District and Block levels, taking care of specificities and strengths of each region. In order to touch every child, it seeks a deeper penetration to communities and households and expects that the ground experiences gathered at the field are taken into consideration by all the authorities at the higher level. Thus the Commission sees an indispensable role for the State, sound institution-building processes, respect for decentralization at   the  local  bodies  and  community level and larger societal concern for children and their well-being.

Citizen's corner of Track Child

They are abandoned. They do not get a chance to step in a school. They are left to fend for themselves on the streets. They suffer from many forms of violence. They do not have access to even primary healthcare. They are subjected to cruel and inhumane treatments every day. They are children – innocent, young and beautiful – who are deprived of their rights.

In the history of human rights, the rights of children are the most ratified. The United Nations Convention on the Rights of the Child (UNCRC) defines Child Rights as the minimum entitlements and freedoms that should be afforded to every citizen below the age of 18 regardless of race, national origin, colour, gender, language, religion, opinions, origin, wealth, birth status, disability, or other characteristics.

These rights encompass freedom of children and their civil rights, family environment, necessary healthcare and welfare, education, leisure and cultural activities and special protection measures. The UNCRC outlines the fundamental human rights that should be afforded to children in four broad classifications that suitably cover all civil, political, social, economic and cultural rights of every child:

Over history there have been a number of international treaties and documents that outline the rights of a child. Prior to World War II the League of Nations had adopted the Geneva Declaration of the Rights of the Child in 1924. The United Nations (UN) took its first step towards declaring the importance of child rights by establishing the United Nations International Children's Emergency Fund in 1946 (The name was shortened to United Nations Children's Fund in 1953, but kept the popular acronym UNICEF). Two years later the UN General Assembly adopted the Universal Declaration of Human Rights, making it the first UN document to recognise children's need for protection.
The first UN document specially focused on child rights was the Declaration on the Rights of the Child, but instead of being a legally binding document it was more like a moral guide of conduct for governments. It was not until 1989 that the global community adopted the United Nations Convention on the Rights of the Child, making it the first international legally binding document concerning child rights. The convention consists of 54 articles covering all four major categories of child rights: Right to life, Right to development, Right to protection, and Right to participation. It came into force on the 2nd September 1990.
The initiative to create a body of rights for children came from the draft document submitted by the Government of Poland to the Commission on human rights in 1978. A decade was spent drafting the Convention by an alliance of a number of small NGOs including Radda Barnen of Sweden, the International Child Catholic Bureau, and Defence for Children International, and United Nations human rights experts. Today the convention has been ratified by 192 countries becoming the most ratified of all international Human Rights treaties. India signed and ratified the convention in 1992. The only two countries who have not ratified the treaty are the United States and Somalia. Somalia has been unable to ratify due to the lack of a stable government and the US has signed the treaty showing their intention to ratify.

KVS FOUNDATION DAY 15TH DECEMBER 2015

The Kendriya Vidyalayas are a system of central government schools in India that have been instituted under the aegis of the Ministry of Human Resource Development (MHRD). It comprises over a thousand schools in India and three abroad.
The system came into being in 1963 under the name Central Schools. Later, the name was changed to Kendriya Vidyalaya. All the schools are affiliated to the Central Board of Secondary Education (CBSE) Its objective is to educate children of the Indian Defence Services personnel who are often posted to remote locations. With the army starting its own Army Public Schools, the service was extended (but not restricted) to all central government employees. Uniform curriculum is followed by these schools all over India. By providing a common syllabus and system of education, the Kendriya Vidyalayas are intended to ensure that the children of government employees do not face educational disadvantages while their parents are transferred from one location to another. The schools have been operational for over fifty years.
The Kendriya Vidyalaya Sangathan, which literally translates to Central School Organisation, oversees the functioning of these schools and has its headquarters in New Delhi. The administration of this body is based on different levels; the chairman of Kendriya Vidyalaya Sangathan is always the Minister of Human Resource Development of the Government of India, and the deputy chairman is Minister of State of MHRD. The real working power lies with the Commissioner of KVS; there are certain additional commissioners to accompany Commissioner in the administration of KVS in different fields. The head of a KVS region is Deputy Commissioner accompanied by certain Assistant Commissioner. There are individual principals of every KV also administering that very school of which they are made in charge

As of June 2014, there were 1094 schools named Kendriya Vidyalayas, A total of 1,148,340 students (as of 31 March 2014) and 56,445 employees were on the rolls (as of 1 September 2013). These were divided among 25 regions, each headed by a deputy commissioner.
The three Kendriya Vidyalayas outside India are in Kathmandu, Moscow and Tehran. They are intended for children of Indian embassy staff and other expatriate employees of the government of India. One school in Tshimalakha, Bhutan, was transferred to the Bhutanese government, thus ceasing to be a Kendriya Vidyalaya (then known as Indo-Bhutan Central School (IBCS)) in 1989, after one of the major Indo-Bhutan projects (the Chukhha Hydal power project) was near completion and Indian government employees were gradually transferred back to their own country.

ICSE board plans major revamp

Schools affiliated to the Council for the Indian School Certificate Examination (CISCE) board will soon undergo revamp in syllabus, infrastructure, teachers' training and modernization. The road map in this line was discussed by educators from ICSE affiliate schools across the country at the 58th annual general meeting started here on Wednesday.

"The way we read, learn, work, communicate and find information have changed drastically in the last few years. The implication of these changes is tremendous in all walks of life. We need to rethink our practices as educators in response to these changes and this is why we are here," said secretary-treasurer of Association of Schools for the Indian School Certificate (ASISC), K V Vincent.

The participants in the three-day meeting including over 1200 principals from various schools would discuss on how to bring in a major revamp in the syllabus and examination as per the need of the hour. This year's theme is 'Education in a changing world'.

Governor S C Jamir inaugurating the event said, "Technology has become an inseparable part of education and has come a great way from the parrot like pedagogy that was prevalent a few years ago. It has helped learning anywhere, anytime. It's no more limited to classrooms. However, in spite of all these I would firmly say that technology is never a substitute for a teacher."

Jamir also gave emphasis on teaching moral values to students. "There is a crisis of moral values in most walks of life. It is the responsibility of the educational institutions to bring back the values in public as well as private lives," he added.

The sessions will discuss on various issues like grades and marks, smart classes, e-learning, emphasis on practical studies in addition to theory, upgradation of laboratories and extracurricular activities. There will also be discussions on the need for a teacher-training center for in service teachers. "Whether these changes have positive or negative consequences will also be discussed to determine if and how they need to be implemented in the education system," added Vincet.

There are 75 schools affiliated to ICSE board in the state of which seven are in the city including the St. Josephs Convent School, Stewart School, Ruchika High School, Venketeshwar English Medium School, Loyola school and Seventh-day Adventist Higher Secondary School.

How to Prepare for Class 12 Board Exams

The 12th board exam, although marks the end of your school life, opens the door to a greater arena where you step in to pursue an education that matches your career aspirations. Thus, this exam holds prominence in life as a deciding factor for you, and a selection factor for different colleges, institutes and entrance exams that can open up new avenues.

http://www.mapsofindia.com/education/how-to-prepare/intermediate.html

Physics:

• Get a grip on the fundamental and concepts of the subject to acquire an extra edge over the competitors.
• Generally the exams contain a number of questions that are direct formula- and theorem-based. Therefore, make sure to revise these as many times as possible.
• Repeated practice is the key strategy here. Use the formulas and theorems extensively in solving different problems of last years' papers and model papers, making sure to time yourself. Try and solve at least five numerical problems daily.
• Some of the relatively easier topics are Modern Physics, Optics, Oscillation & Waves, and Heat & Thermodynamics, which are more based on theory and direct formula. Preparing these well will get you sure-shot marks.

Chemistry:

• This is a high-scoring subject while less time-consuming compared with other subjects.
• The questions on Organic and Inorganic Chemistry can be attempted first as these are fact-based and can be solved very quickly. This will boost your confidence and give ample time for rest of the paper.
• Speed with accuracy in solving problems can only be acquired thorough in-depth study of the subject and extensive practice.
• Thoroughly study the name reactions in Organic Chemistry, along with examples, as these are extremely important.
• Write down all the important formulae on a piece of paper and paste it where you can't help seeing it on a daily basis.

Biology:

• As the subject include lots of diagrams, emphasise on special diagrams along with their theory part.
• Biology involves learning and memorising difficult terminology. Practice spelling and writing such terms repeatedly so as to get acquainted with them.
• Once you go through the entire syllabus, try to solve objective questions first. Whenever stuck, consult the book to revise that portion. This will help you to get in-depth knowledge on the topic. Solve previous years' questions within the time limit.
• Adopt a learning style that you are most comfortable with. It can be the use of visual devices like drawing, charts, pictures, graphs and maps, to name a few. These supplements help you to retain the knowledge on the subject as you immediately associate the question with a diagram or a picture that you have gone through while studying the subject.

Tips on Mathematics

• Get the fundamentals and concepts clear.
• Practice a lot as this is the key to success. Take out an hour in a day to practice mathematics regularly. The more you practice the more clear you will be about the concepts and techniques.
• Solve the problems using conventional methods first. Once you are thorough enough, try out short-cut methods to increase speed. Be alert that you do not jump crucial steps, which may confuse you later.
• Calculations can be lengthy and time is a major factor during the exams. Thus practice a lot to acquire speed so as to attempt the entire paper.
• Beware of the silly mistakes that you often make. Try to improve on these while you practice.
• Jot down important formulae and tables that you need to memorise. Copy them on to a list and carry it around wherever you go.
• Practice common square root and cube root problems so that you can quickly solve them during exam.

Accountancy:

• Accountancy is mostly about fundamentals and calculations. Firstly, make sure that the concepts are absolutely clear.
• The second important step is practice. Solve as many problems as possible. Get hold of previous years' papers. Regular practice gives you an idea about the different nuances of the subject.
• Show calculations properly, with sufficient explanations and narrations. Be alert and avoid oversights that are commonly committed in accountancy.
• Be clear about various formats of different statements of accounts. Draw formats neatly using scale and pencil. Always start an account statement on a new page and try to complete on a single page. Rough work should be done on the rough sheets provided or on a different sheet.
• The subject includes partial marking, so even if you are unable to complete or solve an entire problem, attempt it to add some marks to your total score.

Economics:

• Concentrate on different terms and key concepts involved in the subject.
• This subject also includes lot of calculations and diagrams. Practice a lot to get acquainted with them. In Economics it is mandatory that you label the diagrams properly.
• The theoretical part is just an important. Memorise the important definitions and formulae. Prepare your own short notes and revise them regularly.

General Tips

• Know the syllabus of different subjects clearly. Attend your class lessons properly, which will help you to cover the syllabus in a systematic manner.
• Revise the lessons taught in class each day after coming back home, as these will still be fresh in your mind. Even the slightest of doubt should be clarified with the teacher the very next day.
• Solve the exercise questions at the end of each topic. When stuck, take guidance from your teacher or a senior to solve it.
• Maintain separate notebooks for each subject where you can jot down important notes and formulae apart from solving exercises. This will help you before the exams as you can just grab a particular notebook for a subject and revise the portions you have to.

• Chalk out a well laid time table for your Board exam preparation so that you allot ample time for each subject.
• Choose the time that is most convenient for you to study, whether early in the morning or at night.
• Solve as many question papers and practice books as possible. Follow the previous years' question papers to know the trend and type of questions that are frequently asked.
• Find out your strengths and weaknesses. Do not ignore your weaknesses; rather, concentrate to improve on them. Take guidance and suggestions from your teachers.
• Revise whatever you have studied and do not take up or study anything new just before the exams as you may get confused.
• Make a weekly revision plan once you have completed the entire syllabus.
• Keep yourself fit during the exams. Eat healthy and take ample rest. Sleep for at least 7-8 hours in a day.
• Take some time out in the day to relax. A fresh mind and body will help you to work accurately and efficiently.
• Do not get stressed out or nervous before the exams, as this will only waste your quality time. Be patient and keep practicing.
• Reach the examination hall a little earlier instead of scrambling in at the last moment. Ensure that you carry all the important things like admit card, pen, pencil, eraser, etc. Settle down in your seat and keep everything properly in place. Stay calm and composed.
• Be mentally alert and read the questions carefully as any silly mistake or misinterpretation of questions can be quite damaging.
• Glance at the paper for five minutes after you get it. Start with the ones that you are more confident with, instead of wasting time with difficult ones. If you get stuck with a question, move forward with the others instead of lingering on it for too long. Once you have completed the easier and moderate ones, attempt the others.
• Revise and re-check the paper carefully if you have time.

All the best for your board exams!

National Cancer Awareness Day

National Cancer Awareness Day observed across the country on November 7 every year. Cancer is an important public health problem with 7 to 9 lakh cases occurring every year. At any point of time, it is estimated that there are nearly 25 lakh cases in the country. Four lakh deaths are estimated to occur every year due to cancer. Forty per cent of the cancers in the country are due to tobacco. Hence Tobacco related cancers are very common among males, namely, cancers of the lungs and oral cavity. Among women, cancer of uterine cervix and breast are common.


The National Cancer Control Programme  was launched in 1975-76 with the objectives of primary prevention, early detection, treatment and rehabilitation. In order to cater to the changing needs of the disease the programme has undergone three revisions with the third revision in December 2004. Under the revised programme, the primary focus is on correcting the geographic imbalance in the availability of cancer care facilities across the country. The scope of the programme and the quantum of assistance under the various schemes have been increased.
