Poverty: The Biggest Challenge to India
India is one of the poorest countries in the world. Poverty is just like a disease to
which many other problems such as crime, low-paced development, etc are
associated. Many Indian people do not get two meals a day. They do not have good
houses to live in. Tribal people, Dalits and labour class including farm workers in
villages and casual workers in cities are still very poor and make the poorest class in
India. Their children do not get proper schooling. The most important causes of
poverty in India are poor agriculture, growing population, the gap between rich and
poor, corruption and black money. Therefore to eradicate poverty from our country,
farmers must get all facilities for irrigation. They should be trained and educated.
Agriculture must be made profitable. The ever-rising population should be checked.
Family planning schemes should be introduced. More and more industries should be
set up to meet the needs of our country. Corruption must put to an end. Our offices
should work efficiently.
Poverty must be eradicated from India as every person has the right to live a healthy
life.

Write a letter to the municipal officer complaining about the wastage of water 
occurring at a in your vicinity.

The Municipal Officer,
Water Department, D Ward,
S. K. Tilak Road,
Borivali (W), Mumbai 400 015

Subject: Wastage of water in the locality

Dear Sir,

Through the columns of your esteemed daily  I wouldlike to inform you that I have noticed a lot of water being wasted in and around my residential
society within solmara Army campus on a regular basis. At a time when our city is facing a drought like situation, this kind of 
carelessness should not be overlooked. 
The water tank of our society fills around 6PM and overflows for about another hour till the 
municipal water supply remains on. This happens whenever the water supply is switched on. The 
people too, leave the taps in their houses flowing without any reason. If they are stopped from 
doing so, they justify their actions by stating that they receive water only for two hours in a day. 
Such mindset needs to be changed. They need to be made aware that their actions have a severe 
impact on the society at large. We the common people can only share merely knowledge with 
others. This problem can be solved only when someone in authority takes a forceful step towards 
it.
I therefore request you to look into the matter and take the necessary steps at the earliest 
so that such actions do not continue and further wastage of water is prevented.
Thanking you,
Yours sincerely,
S. Kumar

The Two Sides of Technology

By Vibha Salvi

Technology has penetrated deep into our everyday lives. We start the day by checking 

messages on our phones and by updating our social media profiles with our latest details. 

We rely on a wide array of electronic items in our everyday lives. The electronic revolution 

has made our lives easier. Today, it is difficult to imagine stepping out without a 

smartphone in our pocket. Communication has been enhanced thanks to e-mails and 

cellular technology. Household appliances like the vacuum cleaner, the microwave ovens 

and the washing machine have made chores easier. They are time-saving and more efficient 

than manual labour. However, there are many disadvantages of technology. Automation 

removes the need for human intervention. A lot of jobs are thus lost to robots. A machine 

may be accurate, but it can never replace the ingenuity of the human mind. Technology has 

made slaves out of us since we are too dependent on it. It leads to the stagnancy of our 

intellectual capabilities making drones out of us. Pollution is also on the rise and the fears 

of a nuclear holocaust are always lurking in our minds. We become too slothful when we 

rely on technology. If we do not wean ourselves off electronics, our natural faculties may 

cease to work. For example, depending too much on the calculator will cause our 

mathematical skills to stagnate and eventually not work. For its every merit, there is an 

equally appalling demerit. One should strike a fine balance by exploiting the benefits of 

technology without becoming dependent on it.
