SWACHH BARATH ABHIYAN

One of the good initiative taken lately by the Indian government these days is the 'SWACHH BHARAT ABHIYAN' for  clean India iniitiative launched by Honorable Prime Minister Shri Narendra Modi on the eve of birth anniversary of Mahatma Gandhi.

                   It is a very good initiative since a clean and tidy nation on the whole increases the Human Development Index of the nation and the image of the nation internationally will get a huge boost.

                 India is a country where people form their ancestors inherit the thinking of cleanliness from medieval ages , but the problem lies in the core point that people do keep their homes clean and dump the waste on the streets, people or society more often in our country had developed a feeling that some people are designated to do only some work and it's none of their business and feel ashamed doing their own work especially rich class and the major upper middle class, time had come and this thinking must change and programs like this which was voluntarily accepted by celebrities such as Sachin, Sashi Tharoor, Salman Khan, Aamir Khan etc will pave the way for that change.

                     Instead of accepting and performing 'ICE BUCKET' challenge without any donation for the cause, I request every Indian to accept the 'SWACHH BHARAT ABHIYAN' and request some parties to not to polticise the issue, citing an old adage in this context

"CLEANLINESS NEXT TO GODLINESS"

HUDHUD CYCLONE AND CLIMATE CHANGE

Recently a dangerous or a large cyclone for the first time in hundred years had hit port city Vizag of Andhra Pradesh, India, first time in India that a cyclone directly made a landfall on the city. The city was devastated by the fury of the nature and will take another 3 years to rebuild to it's current form.

                                Cyclones are common sight at this time of the year

in Bay of Bengal but such severe cyclones were not common until few years, this may be because of Global warming and Cimate change.

                                India has seen a great change in it's climatic patterns lately, such as rains during summer, a very hot winter, etc,, some events such as drastic rainfall in mumbai, unusual avalanches in Himalayas, Frequent flooding of ganga river, such as the uttharakand floods, etc.

                                 It is high time that nations globally take steps to curb global warming,and from what i observe there was never had been a single step towards this , they say that they will meet in a convention  to take some steps, but instead nothing comes into practice.

                                 As an indian , i request people of india to save power, water and to improve greenery, we are told in our vedas and epics that trees must be worshipped as gods. If it's invetiable to chop a tree down , you must make sure that you plant and take care to grow a few.
