Swachh Bharat (Clean India) and Swachh Lucknow (Uttar Pradesh)- How To Avert Dengue chikungunya and Serial Epidemic

LUCKNOW : While most of the efforts and focus of swachh bharat (Clean India) is on public behavioral change, which is effective to some extent, but is very subjective. Cleaner countries do have certain human behavior to attribute their cleanliness to, but majority is about right processes embedded into the system, which inculcate these values into citizens.Starting with changing human behavior without building the right systems in place would fail, as its visible in Lucknow's Swachh Sarvekshan.H Read more...

सरकारी स्कूलः समाधान की ओर कब बढ़ेंगे कदम?

भारत सरकार व राज्य सरकारों द्वारा संचालित सरकारी स्कूलों की दशा और दिशा से हम सभी परिचित हैं। सरकारी स्कूलों में दी जा रही शिक्षा और उसकी गुणवत्ता पर अमीर और गरीब सभी अभिभावक नाक-मुंह सिकोड़ते ही हैं, लेकिन अब सरकारी स्कूलों में शौचालय जैसी अन्य जरूरी सुविधाओं को लेकर भी अभिभावक गंभीर हो गए हैं।       हालांकि सरकारी स्कूलों में शिक्षा की गुणवत्ता सबसे बड़ी समस्या है, जहां प्रशिक्षित शिक्षकों की दशा और उनके चयन प्रणाली में गड़बड़ी से सभी परिचित हैं और यहां छात्र-छात्राओं के लिए अन्य सुख-सुविधाओं Read more...

River Ganges to Gomti Link - Haider Canal Why It Is Still Relevant

Single Screen Movie Theaters saying The End- A Research

Running and playing in the aisles of the theatre Novelty Aliganj’s (then Vivek, Rajshri for some time) balcony with few friends and watching the song ‘Didi Tera Dewar Deewana’, is still fresh in my mind. ‘Hum apke hain kon’ would possibly be my first movie out of umpteen seen in theaters, at least from the point I can I recall from the hazy memories.

बारिश से जलमग्न हुआ दिल्ली, जलभराव का कारण ड्रेनेज सिस्टम की अनदेखी

एक मशहूर कहावत है ‘बोए पेड़ बबूल के तो आम कहां से होए’. हम सब में से अधिकांश ने देश को विकाशील से विकसित बनने का स्वपनीला ख़्वाब देखा होगा. हर स्वतंत्रता दिवस और गणतंत्र दिवस पर सीना चौड़ा कर भारतीय होने पर गौरवांवित होते होंगे. मगर अचानक एक जरा सी बारिश हमारे सारे भ्रम को तोड़ देती है. सारे ख़्वाब घंटों जाम में फंसने के बाद हकीकत में निकलकर बह जाते हैं. विडंबना देखिये जिस दौड़ती-भागती जिंदगी में लोगों के पास सुबह का नाश्ता करने का वक्त तक नहीं होता, सुबह-सुबह घर से निकल कर देर रात घर वापसी होती हो व Read more...
