Driving - An Art that Requires Maturity and Discipline that Comes with Age
By Shyam/Shyama, Cadet-in-charge, NCC Unit, Balwant Public School, Sonipat

The allure of the open road, the thrill of speed, and the power to command a machine often beckons teenagers. However, driving is not merely a physical act; it’s a complex interplay of judgment, reflexes, and emotional control. These are qualities that mature with age and experience.

Underage driving is a grave concern. It poses a significant threat to the driver, passengers, and other road users. The lack of experience, coupled with the impulsive nature of adolescence, can lead to reckless behavior, resulting in accidents that can have devastating consequences.

Driving is an art that demands respect. It requires a keen understanding of traffic rules, a sharp awareness of surroundings, and the ability to react swiftly to unforeseen circumstances. These skills are honed over time, with practice and a sense of responsibility.

As a young individual, I urge my peers to prioritize safety. Let us wait for the right age to experience the freedom of the road. Until then, let’s channel our energy into activities that are both exciting and safe. By respecting the laws and understanding the gravity of the situation, we can ensure a safer future for ourselves and others.

Impact of deforestation

Deforestation: A Silent Threat to Our Planet
By:

Deforestation, the clearing of forests, has emerged as a critical environmental issue with far-reaching consequences. Driven by human activities like agriculture, logging, and urbanization, this relentless destruction of forests is wreaking havoc on our planet.

The impact of deforestation is multifaceted. Forests play a crucial role in regulating the Earth’s climate by absorbing carbon dioxide, a greenhouse gas. When forests are cleared, this 1 natural carbon sink is diminished, leading to increased greenhouse gas emissions and accelerated climate change. This, in turn, results in rising global temperatures, erratic weather patterns, and more frequent and intense natural disasters like floods and droughts.  

Moreover, deforestation disrupts delicate ecosystems, leading to loss of biodiversity and soil erosion. Deforestation can also disrupt water cycles, leading to reduced rainfall and water scarcity. The consequences of these environmental disruptions are far-reaching, affecting everything from food security to human health.

To mitigate the devastating effects of deforestation, it is imperative to adopt sustainable practices. This includes reforestation efforts, responsible forest management, and reducing our reliance on paper products. By raising awareness and taking collective action, we can protect our forests and ensure a sustainable future for generations to come.

To check the spread of Covid-19 pandemic, several countries took to imposing lockdown. Universally speaking. as a result of the lock- down, 'public mobility has declined sharply, a google report finds. In India, retail and recreational places like malls and cinema halls saw the steepest fall in the presence of people between the nonths of February and March compared to the presence between January and February.

So, in order to control the pandemic, the government of India announced its first stage of na- tional lockdown for 24 days from March 22, 2020 to April 14, 2020. Given the rising numbers of confirmed cases and deaths in the country, the lockdown was extended to May 3. This was the second round of lockdown. The Government had to assure adequate supply of food and shelter for the underprivileged citizens, espe cially the unorganised working sector (the worker) and daily wage labourers.

As many stood on the frontline--the doctors, policemen, drivers and grocery shop owners-fighting against the virus, the govern- ment needed to do everything for the safety, of the real corona warriors.

The extended lockdown had both positive and negative implications on the people and society at large. As the global economy was now facing the worst recession, the impact was experienced by all.

With only essential commodities being produced, there was a negative impact on both the supply and demand side of the market chain, with a fall in GOP and rise in unemployment. Large scale industries like automobiles, steel and cement were badly hit. Despite the negative impacts, there is a brighter side of the lockdown as well.
