ENVIRONMENT OF OUR PLANET

Environment of our planet is loosing its strength by every passing day since last few decades because of rapid increase in industrialization without following pollution norms, cutting of trees on large scale without re-plantation, increasing population and desire of human beings to do something new without thinking about its impact on environment. Due to above mentioned reasons pollution spreads in various form like air pollution, noise pollution, water pollution, land pollution, etc. Pollution had crossed all its limit and increasing at a very very high speed with every passing day which in turn creating issues like global warming, climate change etc. now all developed and developing nations of our world are concerned about environmental issues and United Nations celebrates 5^th June as Environment Day all over the world and promotes ways and methods to save our environment. Every individual not only speak about it but apply the rules in his/her regular routine.

Please post your ideas to deal with environmental issues.

CORRUPTION IN INDIA

On scale of corruption India’s rank is 72^nd in the world as per the report of Transparency International India a Berlin based non profit organization. Corruption is directly linked with poverty and mis-governance. A survey shows that more than 75% of respondents in the National Capital Region do not have faith in the government. Every where we go found corruption whether it is railway reservation, allotment of land, filing of taxes, etc. From top to bottom corruption exist everywhere. Politicians, bureaucrats find new ways to fill up their pocket by misuse of public assets. To remove corruption we should made systematic reforms in governance and remove some bad traditional points like presenting gifts. We need to change our election system, so that fair politics can help to improve India. Recently some big & fair decisions had helped India to reduce corruption like declaration of assets by candidates before filing for nomination. Right To Information Act have a powerful tool to fight against corruption. E-Governance could be another useful path to follow. Let’s come together and put our whole hearted efforts to remove corruption from our country.

Please mention all other methods which should be adopted by everyone of us in our regular life to remove corruption from our society.

INDIAN ARMY UNDER STRESS

INDIAN ARMY UNDER STRESS

Indian army, the second largest army (with 1.13 million soldiers and officer) in the world after china is facing problem of STRESS among its officers and soldiers. Many of its officers and soldiers are committing suicide or they attack their colleagues and seniors. In such incidents army lost twice the number of soldiers compared to dies in action /battle field.

Soldiers are stressed because of relentless counter-insurgency operations, posting in far flung areas of J&K, North East on bayonet edge. They have to fight with heavily armed militants and don’t get proper sleep/rest followed by lack basic amenities, poor accommodation facilities and very little salary. They also feel helpless to solve their problems faced by their due to their posting at far-flung areas. Seniors themselves takes the leave, enjoy good facilities and other benefits while soldiers are even not getting a part of it.

Defence Institute of Psychological Research (DIPR) study says denial of leave, humiliation and harassment by seniors, absence of leaders. Currently Army is facing leadership crisis at middle level because an average middle Indian gets the double starting salary compared to the salary of Army personnels.

To overcome the stress problem DIFR recommended that the psychologist to soldier ratio should be at least 1 : 1000 and as a long term step separate cadre of psychologists should be created in army.

As of now soldiers are allowed to frequency call their families regularly and list of Do’s and Don’ts to also handle psychological problems.

Company commanders had also been given manual which will help them to identify soldiers who are stressed.

Army says that it is a “testing time” for the force and it will pass because foundations are strong.

Honor To Sports Team

Honor To Sports Team

For Indian Cricket Team the T-20 World Cup Win has came after 24 years, a glorious moment for whole country. Chak De (the film with hockey team) is the theme song for victory but still we forgotten our National Game “HOCKEY” and our Hockey team who won the ASIA Cup and did not got any respect, award shows that only marketing works because only Indian Cricket Team got much recognition from Media, Society and various State Governments (Maharashtra, Haryana, Jharkhand and Karnataka) as well as Central Government. I truly support the comments of Hockey team when the call “step motherly treatment” from society and government for them. The only exception for Indian Hockey team is congratulation letter from President Kalam on their victory. They have been promised some minor rewards after their protest but it is not the right way to honor. Aslam Sher Khan, the Former Indian Hockey Captain says even British Ruler valued their game. Our hockey team and anyone of us is not against the victory of T-20 World Cup but why to ignore our National Game Hockey. National chief coach Joaquim Carvalho comments for State Governments and industry (SAHARA Group, sponsor of Cricket and Hockey team) is very true. And for all this Media is also responsible because they did not highlighted the victory of Asia Cup. If this will continue it will be major setback for our future sports-persons.
