Tribute to the victms of Mother Nature`s fury

The pictures and videos of earthquake and tsunami hit Japan shown on TV channels were the most shocking of the recent past. Hundreds of the people have been declared dead and this number is only to rise. It was very difficult to believe what was being shown live on TV and later during the day in repeat telecast. We are  worried about the aftermath which  is going to be more disastrous than what appears to us now. The tragedy is that the country which is considered to be the best prepared for such disasters could not get any clue of the gravity of earthquake and after effects of that. As per the reports ,Tsunami warning could  provide only 12 minutes to the people to react and go to safer places. The cars ,planes and ships appeared to be floating as the paper boats made by the children. The world is shocked and can not do much but to save and provide best possible help to the affected brothers and sisters of Japan and that is what most of the countries are doing including India.
After we shall come to terms with this tragedy I know that there will be many conferences and serious meetings regarding how to react to such natural disasters. This is important to prepare ourselves for that but what I feel is that the all nations particularly the so called developed nations should concentrate on how to reduce the occurings of such tragedy as it may not be possible to stop it completely. The scientists, environmentalists and researchers should be extended full support to find the reasons of how much has been the contribution of man`s indiscrimate activities to such disasters. As a science student I understand that when we try to press something beyond elastic limit it breaks or get deshaped and does not look like what it was originally.What I feel is that reckless human activities are pressing the Mother Nature and reaching the elastic limit. As I have mentioned before also that development is important but that should have balance between human welfare and the nature. Whenever we try to act against nature the result is going to be as disasterous as we have observed.
I do not know how to react to this situation but, very strongly feel that the best tribute paid to the people who have lost their lives in such disasters is that we start respecting nature and do not disturb her in the name of development and progress.I do not understand the use of such progress if the people for whom we are doing it are not there to be benefitted by that.
We must remember what our father of nation said that there is enough in the nature for the need of the people of the world but very little for the greed.
In the end we pray to Almighty to give strength to the people of Japan to bear and come out of this tragedy. The entire world is by their side.

New Year - Promises And Actions

One more year has gone by and we have entered in a year which takes us closer to the end of the first quarter of the century. There have been discussions and talks of the 21 st century and the skills to face the challenges paused by the changes which are so fast-paced that it is becoming increasingly difficult for the human race to adapt. To do so education has to be given all required focus in the age of AI and ML. The children are to be made aware of the possible advantages and disadvantages of AI and so much dependency on the tools should be avoided because technology might make the brain a bit lethargic. We come across many articles and reports in the newspapers and magazines disturbing the social fabric (for example deepfake and voice-over issues) but seeing the impact of the same in day-to-day life is not that visible. I have written before and repeat the same that the real objective of education is preparing the masses for future challenges which are not only triggered by natu

NCF & NCrF- Innovative Approach

  It has been almost four years since the time NEP 2020 was launched by the honourable Prime Minister of India. Then onwards we have travelled a long way in terms of implementation of the same because the policy is made in such a manner that it has a balanced mix of the ancient Indian education system and modern-day education as desired due to the advancement of technology and different needs of the changing time. Any new policy requires a lot of diligence while being implemented and so is the case with this one as well. The focus on the foundational stage of skill development and entrepreneurship abilities and then innovation in all areas of life not only for the sake of an individual but also the global issues to be addressed is the very spirit of “Vasudhavaa Kutumbakam”. The most important is relevant emphasis on the Indian languages and the culture. I would avoid repeating the explanation as we all have gone through the same umpteen number of times in the last few years and would s

Importance Of Feedback

  If there is a perfect tool for growth, to motivate and improve,  effective and actionable feedback is the way to go. Recently I read a book titled, `Delivering Effective Feedback’ by Harvard Business Review Press’ a compilation of research papers and articles by different authors. Though the book I mentioned is for organizations and institutions, especially business organizations, I found it suitable for educational institutions as well. Not only that, even the approach discussed is applicable in every walk of life, be it family or social groups. Feedback can be understood as the process of letting somebody know the progress and the way forward, meaning thereby, to help an individual or a team by providing your observations. Though this seems to be simple but is a difficult and delicate task. Every organization has a system of annual appraisal wherein the head of the team comments on the performance of the team members. Feedback can be ongoing and formal. Ongoing feedback is when you
