Live in Peace and Harmony

Another bomb blast, another act of violence... Who are these people? What do they want? How do we react to them? Who are terrorists? What do they look like? What will they do next? These are natural questions.

Terrorists are people just like you and me, but the big difference is that they don’t think or behave like we do.

Something in their mind has become very twisted and gone very wrong. They look at the world through hate-filled eyes. They have been taught to get what they want through violence. They use guns and bombs to hurt people and make them afraid. They try to disrupt a normal way of life so that we won’t go out, schools and shops will be forced to close. They think that we will live in fear and so do what they tell us to do.

Terrorists are selfish, destructive and uncaring about ordinary people. They do not want everyone to live in peace and harmony. They want to destroy the good way of life for normal people. They use and teach violence. They attract many young people by promising them a ‘new, better world’ than the one we live in now. But, they cannot keep that promise.

A new and better world can only be built through a peaceful way of life, education and good health for everyone, and justice.

We must remember that not all people from religious or political groups are terrorists. Mostly, they are peace loving people like you and me. They are good, kind people just like your mother and father.

Although you are young, you can learn to fight terrorism. Do not use violence against anyone. Treat everyone with respect and kindness.

In every situation, choose the peaceful way. Never join any group that teaches violence. Instead join groups which teach peaceful living

Information for Green Revolution

What was the green revolution? After the end of World War II, there was widespread shortage of food grains in many parts of the world. Famine seemed imminent. As a response there was a spurt in the use of research and technology in agriculture. The Ford Foundation, The Rockefeller Foundation and other major agencies funded the effort. The result was an increase in the production of food grains which has been termed “The green Revolution”. This happened between the 1940s and 1960s.

When India gained its independence it had no food grain reserves. It had experienced one of its worst famines in Bengal in 1943. Food security was of the greatest importance. It was in this context Sri. C. Subramanian, the Union Minister of Agriculture in 1965, turned to the green revolution.

He introduced high yielding varieties in India and was assisted by Dr. M. S. Swaminathan, a plant genetist. Subramanian took the initiative to import 18,000 tons of wheat seeds. Politicians, bureaucrats and scientists worked together to make the green revolution a success. Model farms and District Block Development offices were created. The Indian Council for Agricultural Research was reorganized.

Food grain production increased from 50.8 million tons in 1950 to 201.8 million tons in 2000. India was able to pay back its loans to the World Bank

Dream India Information

What will the New Year bring? Living in a country without fear of terror attacks reined supreme in most young minds, while some felt we should be kinder to the environment, others felt that wildlife should be protected. Look inside for a glimpse of some dreams…

It’s a new year and all of us are filled with the hope of a new beginning leaving behind fear and terror and looking to good year ahead. Here’s what kids from different parts of the country have to say about their aspirations for India.

Feel that corruption is one of the biggest problems that India faces today. The greed of politicians and of government officers, they say, is at the root of the problem.

“The leaders must work for the people, and ensure the development of the country”

Moving on from corruption to poverty, the government must ensure that all its poor people has enough to eat and only through education will the poor be able to live a better life. Education is very important for development.

With the Mumbai terror attacks fresh in their minds, the students say that terrorists should be punished severely. While Prajwal believed that war is the only solution to dealing with situations, Abishek holds a different view. “People are more important than winning wars. In a war, innocent people of both countries will die.” Terrorism has taken too many lives. We would like to see our country as a terror free nation in 2009. Let’s get together to terrorize terror out of our territory

Information of IT field Impact in India

Information Technology plays a vital role in the improvement of economical status of India. Though India a developing country, IT raised India to the level of developed countries in the field of science and technology. Each and every world country needs Indians to enhance their technology. Though IT made India a developed nation it also has its own demerits.

The culture and tradition of a nation is as important as the economical status. We can say, India attained high economical status by losing its precious heritage and tradition.

As we all know, India is known for its heritage and culture. But as the IT field entered into India, slowly we lost out cultural identity. The irony in this is, the world countries, especially the western countries were keen in adopting our way of living, particularly culture and heritage. But we Indians were moving fast towards the western culture. We started imitating their mode of dressing, food habits and so on.

The young lads and girls were highly influenced by the western culture in wearing modern suits, and most importantly in marriage. The consequence of this is, we Indian lost our identity.

We free to adopt other cultures, but there are certain limitations. And we should not give up our heritage in adopting other cultures. As the young hearts of this nation we should think about this. The development of India should not be an outcome of loss of culture and identity.
