Activities On Concrete Jungle




We used to think seven generations ahead
Now we are become selfish
Only thinking about me, myself and I
Only thinking in the present, not learning from the past.
We used to stroll barefoot through the overgrown grass,
Its morning dew tickling our feet
Now we step outside onto the rugged concrete
No more natural than the over processed food we eat
We used to walk down the snow sprinkled trail,
Maybe catch a glimpse of a bobcat, playing eye tricks with its tail
Now there is only one type of bobcat we see
The one that is fur free, clearing the pavement of all debris
We used to walk through a footpath in a forest of pine
The smell intoxicating our lungs and mind
Now the only smell to be found comes from plastic trees
Swaying on my rear-view mirror, labelled pine breeze
We used to watch the valley play hide and seek
Shadowed by the mountain's immeasurable peak
Considered the largest thing known to man
Now skyscrapers are the most extravagant and titanic part of the plan
We used to sit next to the stream, the wind caressing our crown
Watching the magnificent untamed beasts roam far, far from town
Now they are just characters of folktales, memories we pass down
An adjective to describe someone, no more a noun
This could be our reality
If we continue to live in impracticality
No more vast, endless oceans-
Only littered swamps, the colour of a witch's potions.
No more soaring birds overhead-
Only planes, so loud they rock your bed.
No more woods
No more natural goods
We have little time
To change our self centered, one track minds
Before we are stuck with a great heap of jumble
Left only with an artificial concrete jungle.

Fill in the blanks
a) Michael's father was ......... by profession.Orthodontist. Write complete sentence.
b) His mother was ............ by profession. Stockbroker
Growing up in Houston, Texas, Michael and his two brothers were imbued by their parents, Alexander and Lorraine – he an orthodontist, she s stockbroker – with the desire to learn and the drive to work hard. Even so, stories about the middle boy began to be told early. Like the time a saleswoman came asking to speak to “Mr. Michael Dell” about his getting a high school equivalency diploma. Moments later, eight-year-old Michael was explaining that he thought it might be a good idea to get high school out of the way. A few years later Michael had another good idea, to trade stamps by advertising in stamp magazines.
With the $2000 he made, he bought his first personal computer. Then he took it apart to figure out how it worked. In high school Michael had a job selling newspaper subscriptions. Newlyweds, he figured, were the best prospects, so he hired friends to copy the names and addresses of recent recipients of marriage licenses. These he entered into his computer, then sent a personalized letter offering each couple a free two-week subscription. This time Dell made $ 18,000 and bought an expensive BMW car. The car salesman was flabbergasted when the 17-year-old paid cash.

Q.2 (A) Read the following extract and answer the question given blow: (12M) (Each activity carries 2 marks)
A1 Complete the statements:
a) The narrator left India in 1975 because ........ he went to the US for graduate studies.
b) You might languish in a long waiting list and never receive a telephone connection because..........having telephone was a rare privilege

When I left India in 1975 to go the US for graduate studies, we had perhaps 600 million residents in the country and just two million land-line telephones. Having a telephone was a rare privilege; if you weren’t an important government official, or a doctor, or a journalist, you might languish in a long waiting list and never receive a phone. Telephones were such a rarity (after all, 90% of the population had no access to a telephone line) that elected members of Parliament had amongst their privileges the right to allocate 15 telephone connections to whomever they deemed worthy. And if you did have a phone, it wasn’t necessarily a blessing. I spent my high school years in Calcutta, and I remember that if you picked up your phone, you had no guarantee you would reach the number you had dialed. Sometimes you were connected to someone else’s ongoing conversation, and they had no idea you were able to hear them; there was even a technical term for it, the ‘cross-connection’
(appropriately, since these were connections that made us very cross. If you wanted to call another city, say Delhi, you had to book a ‘trunk call’ in the morning and then sit by the telephone all day waiting for it to come through; or you could pay eight times the going rate for a ‘lighting call’- but even lighting struck slowly in India in those days, so it only took half an hour instead of the usual three or four or
more to be connected.
Questions:

A2 Enlist the special rights elected members of parliament used to have .
Ans: Elected members of Parliament had amongst their privileges the right to allocate 15 telephone connections to whomever they deemed worthy.
A3 Differentiate between a ‘trunk call’ and a ‘lighting call’.
Ans : A trunk call was system to call another city.One had to book a call in the morning and wait for three / four hours to get in touch. Lightening call was a similar system in which one could call within half an hour.
A4 Match the words in column A with their meanings in column B:

Column ‘A’ Column ‘B’
(i) Privilege (a) means to reach or get
(ii) Access (b) remedy
(c) special right
Ans: i)-c; ii)-a
A5 The cell phone has made us global. Explain.
(Personal Response)
(5) Rewrite the following sentences in the ways instructed:

(i) You could pay eight times the going rate for a ‘lighting call’. (Rewrite it using model auxiliary showing compulsion.)
Ans:You must pay eight times the going rate for a ‘lighting call’.
(ii) I spent my high school years in Calcutta. (Rewrite it using Past perfect Tense)

Ans:I had spent my high school years in Calcutta.
(B) Note-making: (3M)

Read the following extract carefully and make the notes with the help of the clues given below:
Naturally occurring platinum and platinum-rich alloys have been known for a long time. The Spaniards named the metal ‘platina’ or little silver, when they first encountered it in Colombia. The platinum group metals are rhodium, ruthenium, palladium, osmium, iridium and platinum. Of these, platinum is the most important. These metals are very similar in many ways and are extremely rare. On an average, there is only a gramme of ruthenium in each tone of rock and barely a gramme of rhodium in over a 1000 tonnes of rocks! Platinum’s wear and tarnish resistance characteristics are well suited for making fine jewelry. Other distinctive properties include-resistance to chemical attack,
excellent high temperature characteristic and stable electrical properties. These metals are uniquely durable and can be used extremely efficiently- meaning that a very little goes a very long way. When recycled, over 96 percent can be recovered. The platinum group metals- or PGMS – plays an important role in our everyday life, for they are used in so many things from foundation pens to aircraft turbine. In facts, one in four of the goods manufactured today either contain one or the other of these metals. The catalytic converter – a pollution control device – is the largest application of platinum group metals.

Q.3 (A) Read the following extract and answer the questions given below: (12M) (Each activity carries 2 marks)
A3 Say whether the following statements are true or false.
a) Many of our young people spend more time in their classroom than before TV sets.
b) Teenagers are considerably influenced by the electronic media.
c) The television has become the single most powerful influence in their lives.
d) There are many advantages of T. V.
Ans : a)False b)True c) True d)True. Students should write given statements also.
We often hear this statement that’ many of our young people spend more time before their TV sets, than they do in their classrooms or with their textbooks. : A bit exaggerated though it may sound, it is nearly true and our teenagers are being considerably influenced by the electronic media, particularly the TV. The television has become the single most powerful influence in the lives of many of our youngsters today. Too often this happens to us much before we realize it ourselves. I am in no way trying to deny the many advantages of TV, or minimize its manifold contributions to our world. On the other hand, I consider, TV as one of the greatest scientific achievements of our times,bringing people closer than ever before. Television’s use of the modern satellite technology brings today even the remotest regions of the world to us in seconds, making the world a small (global) village. As we know, television also provides us with a fuller and more impressive coverage of current events than any other media. The TV does serve, in addition, as a medium of education as well as entertainment. Besides helping us to learn subjects taught in school, college in greater depth, it enables us (National Geographic, Discovery channel etc.) to see and appreciate from close quarters (without having to go there, which is very expensive or even impossible for most of us) the wonders of God’s creation in any part of the world.
Questions:


A2. Write at least two advantages of TV from the passage.
Ans: Television brings even the remotest regions of the world together, making the world a small (global) village. Television also provides us with a fuller and more impressive coverage of current events than any other media. The TV does serve, in addition, as a medium of education as well as entertainment.
A3. The TV does serve in addition to education and entertainment. Opine.
Ans: TV helps us to learn subjects taught in school, college in greater depth. It enables us (National Geographic, Discovery channel etc.) to see and appreciate from close quarters the wonders of God’s creation in any part of the world.

A4. Find out the synonyms of the following words from the extract:
(i) refuse - deny(ii) an activity designed to give pleasure - entertainment (iii) costly - expensive (iv) surprise -wonders


A5. Do you agree with the statement that many of our young people spend more time with their TV
set? Justify your answer.

A6. Rewrite the following sentence in the ways instructed:

(i) Our young people spend more time before their TV set than in their classrooms.
(Rewrite it using positive degree)
Ans : Our young people do not spend as much time in their classroom as they do before TV sets.
(ii) The TV does serve as a medium of education as well as an entertainment.
(Rewrite it using ‘not only……but also’)
Ans : The TV does serve not only as a medium of education but also as an entertainment.

(B) Summary: (M3)
Write a brief summary of the above extract with the help of the given clues and suggest a suitable title. Clues: TV – misunderstanding – influence on youngsters – advantages – other benefits.

Q.5 (A) Read the following extract carefully and complete the activities :
(4M)
I was walking around the camp, around the barracks, near the barbed wire fence where the guards could not easily see. I was alone.
On the other side of the fence, I spotted someone: a little girl with light, almost luminous curls. She was half- hidden behind a birch tree. I glanced around to make sure no one saw me. I called to her softly in German, “Do you have something to eat?” She didn’t understand. I inched closer to the fence and repeated the question in Polish. She stepped forward. I was thin and gaunt, with rags wrapped around my feet, but the girl looked unafraid. In her eyes I saw life. She pulled an apple from her woolen jacket and threw it over fence. I grabbed the fruit and, as I started to run away, I heard her say faintly, “I’ll see you tomorrow.” I returned to the same spot by the fence at the same time every day. She was always there with something for me to eat – a hunk of bread or better yet, an apple. We didn’t dare speak or linger. To be caught would mean death for us, both. I didn’t know anything about her. Just a kind farm girl, except that she understand Polish.
What was her name? Why was she risking her life for me?
A1. Describe the characters that appear in the extract.
Ans : The narrator and a girl are two characters in the story extract.The narrator is thin and gaunt with rags wrapped around his feet. The girl was little with luminous curls.
Add an imaginary extract after the extract.
(B) Read the following extract carefully and complete the activities: (4M)

George : (contemptuously) I wasn’t afraid of the bulldog.

Tom : No, may be you weren’t; but I’m not sure that the savage beast hasn’t torn
off a bit of young Alfie’s suit, and if he has there won’t half be a row!
(Alfie fidgets nervously at the mention of his damaged suit)

Tom : (down R.C.) How much money have we collected?

Ginger : (crossing C. to George) let’s have a look under the light.
(after counting coppers, with the aid of George’s torch) Eight pence half penny.

Tom : (in a tone of disgust) only eight pence half penny – between four of us – after yelling
our heads off all the evening! Crikey! Money’s a bit tight round these parts, isn’t it?

George : I told you it was too early for carol-singing. It’s too soon after Guy Fawke’s day.

(Faint distant scream off R.)

Tom : (startled) What was that?

George : What was what?

Tom : That noise – it sounded like a scream.

George : Nonsense.

Alfie : (L) Let’s go home.

George : You chaps do get scared easily. It wouldn’t do for you to be in the club that Bert
Williams and I are running. We go out looking for adventures like this.

Ginger : Club? I thought it was a gang.

George : Gangs are getting too common. We have tuned ours into a club – “The Do and Dare Club” we call it and no one in it must ever show a sign of fear.

Tom : I shouldn’t think you’d have many members. Why, everybody’s afraid of something – if
it’s not one thing, it’s bounded to be another.

George : (in a very superior tone) Ours isn’t a club for kids; it’s for daring young fellows keen on
adventure.
A1 Throw light on the language used in the extract.

An extract from 'The Girl With An Apple' " It was the last I ever saw of her.
My brothers and I were transported in a cattle car to Germany.
We arrived at the Buchenwald concentration camp one night weeks later and were led into a crowded barrack. The next day, we were issued uniforms and identification numbers.
“Don't call me Herman anymore.” I said to my brother. “Call me 94983.”
I was put to work in the camp’s crematorium, loading the dead into a hand-cranked elevator.
I, too, felt dead. Hardened, I had become a number.
Soon my brothers and I were sent to Schlieben, one of Buchenwald's sub-camps near Berlin.
One morning I thought I heard my mother’s voice.
“Son,” she said softly but clearly, “I am going to send you an angel.”
Then I woke up. Just a dream. A beautiful dream.
But in this place there could be no angels. There was only work. And hunger. And fear.
A couple of days later, I was walking around the camp, around the barracks, near the barbed-wire fence where the guards could not easily see. I was alone.
On the other side of the fence, I spotted someone: a little girl with light, almost luminous curls. She was half hidden behind a birch tree.
I glanced around to make sure no one saw me. I called to her softly in German. “Do you have something to eat?”
She didn’t understand.

He had to load the dead into a hand-cranked elevator. It grieved him but he became hardened. Soon we were sent to Schlieben near Berlin. Herman told me that in his dream he heard mother's voice telling about sending an angel. We didn't believe about this dream coming true in such a place.But a couple of days later Herman met with a girl who didn't understand German.( Later this girl turned into an angel for Herman.)

Extract from R.R 5 NO FEAR pg 189
Tom : (off L.) I say, we’re getting soaked to the skin. We’d better stand in
this doorway out of the rain.
George : (off L.) What’s up? Are you kids afraid of a drop of rain?
Tom : (off L.) I’m not, but young Alfie’s got his best suit on, and if he gets it wet
there'll be a row when we get home. Here, Alfie – get in the doorway. Hello,
I say. The door’s unfastened !
(Enter Tom and Alfie L. Their collars are turned up, and they appear wet
and cold. )
Tom : (glancing about ) Coo ! This is a rum-looking place.
Akfue : (in doorway) You’re not going in, are you ?
Tom : (taking a few cautious steps). I don’t see why not. There’s no one to stop us.
(Calling off L.) Come on, George! Come on, Ginger! Come in here, out of the
rain.
Ginger : (entering L. with George). Suppose we get “run in” for housebreaking?
George : (coming down L. C. and speaking with a very superior air ). Don’t talk
rot, Ginger. We’ve not broken in. The door was unlocked, wasn’t it ?
Tom : (down L.) I shouldn’t think anybody’d mind us taking shelter from a storm
like this. It’s raining cats and elephants.
George : (to Ginger). Just the sort of night you would pick for carol-singing.
Ginger : (L.). Have you got your torch George? It’s that dark I can’t see where
I’m going.
(George flashes a pocket torch. The boys look about them but not so far up
stage as to notice the white models, nor do they see the skull, towards which
their backs are turned.)
Composition  
Tom suggested that as the kids were getting soaked to the skin , they should stand in that doorway. To that George teased if all those kids were afraid of  rain. Tom asserted that he was not afraid but he suggested to get out of the rain because of Alfie's new suit. If Alfie's suit got wet there would be row on reaching home. So he asked Alfie to get in the doorway. He found the door unfastened. Tom glanced about in the house and expressed that the place was rum-looking one. Alfie warned not to go in. Tom didn't heed to his warning . He took few cautious steps. He felt that there was nobody to stop them. He called upon to George and Ginger to come inside the house to get rid of rain. Getting in Ginger expressed his fear of getting caught for housebreaking. George asked him not to talk like that. They have not broken house. The door was already unlocked. Tom also said that nobody would take objection on taking shelter from storm.

Now, Orlando was a fine wrestler, too, and decided to try his strength against Charles. Charles came to see Oliver about this, asking him to persuade Orlando to give up his idea.
‘I am a professional wrestler, sir,’ Charles explained to Oliver, 'and I must always fight to win, in order to keep my reputation. Anyone who fights me runs the risk of being badly hurt. Please warn your younger brother, and persuade him to change his mind.’
But the wicked Oliver thought this was a good opportunity to get rid of Orlando, so he told Charles all kinds of lies about the young man. He pretended that Orlando was bad and ungrateful, and deserved any punishment which Charles could give him. ‘I would rather you broke his neck than his finger,’ Oliver said, 'and you have my permission to do what you like with the boy.’
So Charles promised to do his best to kill Orlando.




Charles:Hey. Oliver, would you persuade Orlando to give up the idea of wrestling?
Oliver :Why do you warn?
Charles:I'm professional wrestler . And I must always fight to win.Anyone who fights me runs the risk of being badly hurt.
Oliver :But Orlando is ungrateful and deserve the punishment. I would rather you break his neck than finger.
Charles:You want me to hurt him.
Oliver : Yes, You have my permission to do what you like with the boy.
Charles:I promise you to do my best to kill Orlando.

What is soil? The original materials from which it has been formed through long ages are the earth's crust. There are three kinds of rocks, made in three different ways. Igneous rocks were made when the molten material of which the earth consisted long ago become cooler and solidified; granite, a very hard rock, is one of these. Another kind of rock is sedimentary rock, formed when rivers brought down small pieces of material with them as they flowed into the sea. The matter which they brought down with them fell to the bottoms of the sea, and this sediment was slowly pressed and cemented together by other substances into rock. Then the crust of the earth moved; the bottoms of the seas were raised, and when they reached a sufficient height become dry land. Sedimentary rocks found in all kinds of places, even on high mountains. Shale, limestone, and chalk are sedimentary rocks.
The third kind of rock is metaphoric, a rock which has been made by change due to heat. This was formed, for instance, when the lava thrown out by volcanoes affected the material over which it flowed. The heat changed the surface underneath and produced different kinds of rocks, of which slate and marble are two.

The Bhabha Atomic Research Centre (BARC) which is located at Trombay in Mumbai,
was the brainchild of Dr. Homi Bhabha, the father of India’s nuclear programme. Dr. Bhabha
took a personal interest in designing the centre because he felt that with an indigenous
nuclear programme India would become a powerful nation. This centre, which was started
on January 3, 1954, was originally called the Atomic Energy Establishment. It was renamed
Bhabha Atomic Research Centre on January 12, 1966 after Dr. Bhabha’s death.
Over the years, BARC has done work in different scientific disciplines, including
medicine and agriculture. BARC has played a major role in increasing the share of the
nuclear power programme for generating electricity and lighting up the rural areas of
the country. BARC is, however, chiefly known for successfully conducting the Pokhran
tests both in May 1974 and May 1998.

1.There are many different kinds of musical instruments. They are divided
into three main classes according to the way that they are played. Some instruments
are played by blowing air into them. These are called wind instruments. Some of
these are said to be of the woodwind family. Examples of woodwind instruments
are the flute, the clarinet and the horn. There are also various other wind
instruments such as the mouth-organ and the bagpipes. Some instruments are
played by banging or striking them. Instruments like this are called percussion
instruments. The last big group of musical instruments have strings. There are
two kinds of stringed instruments. Examples are the harp and the guitar, the violin
and the cello.

2. Draw a tree diagram that contains the main points and important supporting
details from the following text about flowering plants.

Flowering plants are of various types. Herbaceous flowering plants grow, set seed
and die within one year; biennial plant complete their life cycles in two years;
Perennials on the other hand, can live and grow for many years once they have been
planted. Plants that flourish and flower during the rainy season are mostly herbaceous
annuals such as the Aster, Zinnia, and Sweet pea. Of the herbaceous perennials the most
common are members of the Daisy family. The beautifully scented Rose and Jasmine
are both Woody and Semi-Woody perennials. There are two other types of plants;
bulbous plants and aquatic plants. The former grow from bulbs and tubers planted in the
ground; examples of this type are Gladiolus and Tulip. The latter, as their name
suggests, grow in water, the most exquisite example being the Lotus or Water Lily. Both
bulbous and aquatic plants are usually perennials.

Que 4 Read the following passage and make a note of important points shown at the end of the passage.

Never, ever start any workout, even if it is just walking, without warming up first. And this is where most people try to take a shortcut. Warming up prepares your whole system for extra activity ahead. Ina resting state, muscles are short and somewhat stiff. Making sudden demands on them can muse a pulled muscles or a strained back. Warming up stretches muscles and loosens joints, so your body performs with better flexibility and speed. It gradually increases blood supply to the heart and makes the lungs ready to operate at full capacity, reducing the risk of sudden strain
What counts as a good warm up? No mater what your main exercise is, experts insist that you take two or three minutes to loosen up, rotating the joints and gently stretching muscles. Start the sport or workout in lower gear, using the same movements that you expect of use later Build up for a few minute still you are breathing slightly faster and perspiring lightly. At this point, you are warmed up.

Rabindranath took great pains to gather round him as teachers a group of young men who really understood what he was trying to do in his school and who would know how to teach children literature, or science, or history in a way which made these subjects alive and interesting. He knew by his own experience that all knowledge about the world we live in, and about the men who live in it is interesting to children, if only it is taught to them in the right way. A boy puts tremendous energy and enthusiasm into his play and hobbies, because he is working at something in which he is deeply interested and which he has chosen for himself.

View And Counter-view



Home

View and counter view is like a debate. As every coin has two sides, many social, economical, educational, political issues have views and counterviews. As in debate , participants cut the points of his earlier  counterparts and bring his point home, while preparing counterview in the exam students have cut the points given in the paper and write his side . In short counterview means an opposite or opposing view.

         You can take the help of the following points from the View Section

             "Ambition breeds ruin"

1)Ambition gives rise to jealousy, greed, hatred.
 2)Ambition overrides humane feelings-success at whatever cost.  
 3)Ambition has no room for family, service for others, charity, love, compassion.


 4)Ambition brings with it loss of peace, restfulness and contentment


Counterview
Low Ambition Is A Crime

Ambition works as a stimuli. It gives direction to work on.Thinking that it spreads jealousy and hatred is just a negative mindset. Ambitious person strives hard to achieve his goal. Failure is a stepping stone not a slippery one. Keeping ambition high is human. It does not override any feeling for cheap goal. The true ambitious person knows his positive approach. Such persons will fulfill ambition with strenuous efforts without hurting others rights. It is absurd to think that ambition has no place for family,service, charity,love and compassion. In fact ambition is perceived because of love for family and service and charity for nation. Ambitious person finds peace and contentment in striving to achieve goal. So who says ambition breeds ruin? It brings crown.

COUNTERVIEW

Homework should be abolished

School is stressing out our youngsters, as evidenced in the high number of school students committing suicide.
We should, therefore, be committed to removing stress from the school system. A primary contributor to stress is the oppressive burden of daily homework given to the student. Wrestling with piles of homework parent and kids alike are exhausted. The truth is that much of the take-home assignments are needless.
After long-drawn school hours, kids return home and immediately get down to tackling the day's homework.
Where is the time to relax and do other extra-curricular activities? Little wonder that kids, these days,
appear highly-strung and reluctant to go to school. School-related stomach aches, headaches, sleep problems and depression are on the rise. The constant pressure of moving from one deadline to another leaves them perpetually harassed. Parents too have a hard time, often doing a major part of the homework to help out the child. Is homework necessary to get good grades? There's no foundation for this belief. The fear and pressure of homework exhaust students, killing their curiosity and most importantly their keenness and desire to learn. In many countries like the US, Denmark and Japan, schools have cut down on or entirely eliminated homework, since it contributes nothing to learning or creativity.

At home the debate over homework is yet to have an impact. Even though there's been discussion around inordinately heavy school bags which burden children, directly linked to the issue of homework.


2. Prepare a paragraph with an appropriate title to be used for the Counter-View Section on the following topic in about 120 words.


“Demonetization: a trap to catch a lion or mouse?”

You can take the help of the following points from the View Section



  1. Demonetization helps the government to track people who are having large sums of unaccounted cash
  2. Black money, illegal activities like terrorism funding, gambling, and also inflating will get reduced
  3.  Government gets a good amount of tax revenue which can be used by the government towards the betterment of society by providing good infrastructure

The biggest disadvantage of demonetization is that for few days there is chaos and frenzy among public. Everybody wants to get rid of demonetized notes as soon as possible. Sometimes it leads to law and order problem and chaotic situation especially in banks.  Because this is the only medium to change the old currency units to new currency units. Another disadvantage is that destruction of old currency units and printing of new currency new units involves costs. It has to be borne by the government and if the costs are higher than benefits then there is no use of demonetization. Another problem is that majority of times this move is targeted towards black money but if people have not kept cash as their black money and rotated or used that money in other asset classes like real estate, gold and so on then there is no guarantee that demonetization will help in catching corrupt people.


3.Counterview on the topic ‘should there be a law to force children to look after their old parents?                                                                            
                                                                                                                                                               The care and worry for the parents should be heartfelt. The law will compel the children to keep parents at the home but not at heart. No court can make children feel worried about their parent. Law helps those who make complaint. Would parents take legal action against children? They would prefer to suffer. Values are not taught, these are to be caught . Elderly people should be well protected and given the due care . It is the responsibility of the children . If any youth does not bother to look after his parents, instead of punishing that youth , his parents should be given helping hand by govt. or NGO. the government should open old age security home.Enforced help will do no better job.

1.Speech on World Literacy Day

Good evening, honourable dignitaries of the dais, the president of the function hon. Mr. B.B. Patil, hon. Principal,  Mahatma Gandhi College of Science, Gadchandur, respected teachers, dear friends,  Today the 8 th September is being celebrated as the World Literacy Day all over the world.As per the report of the global monitoring, it has been observed that one among every 5 men and two third women are illiterate. Hence, to increase the literacy rate World Literacy Day is celebrated Literacy is wide open door to the knowledge . In an earlier era literacy was considered as privilege of upper classes and sin for the masses. With the efforts of revolutionary social workers, the closed windows and doors of knowledge, education, and literacy were flung opened. Today we breathe democracy almost all over the world. Other forms of government in the world also opened the doors of education and literacy. The importance of literacy is far beyond the imagination. The spread of literacy among the women of the world is not at par. The awareness programs for this have to organised. Celebrating World Literacy Day can be a part of it. The real celebration will be on that day when no woman is deprived of education. I have to conclude my speech here. Thanks for availing opportunity of being part of this grand program.

2.Speech on Students' Day

Respected Principal, honourable teachers and dear students, I feel proud to speak on such a great occasion.  We are gathered here to celebrate  November 7 as ‘Students’ Day’, to mark Dr B R Ambedkar’s entry into school education 117 years back in 1900.  Babasaheb's  enrolment in school was the dawn of a new era. It was because of the Constitution given by Dr Ambedkar to the nation that the values of freedom, equality, brotherhood and rule of law took roots in the society.Hence the enrolment of Dr B R Ambedkar as a student in the school is a landmark event and proves to be one that changed the course of our history. Dr Ambedkar was a life-long student and cultivated his interest to learn throughout his life. Friends,it is rightly said that every student is the future of the country and education is the only means for progress.The very purpose of observing this day as Students' Day is  to make the students aware that hard work alone can ensure their progress.Dr Ambedkar enrolled as a student on November 7, 1900 at Pratapsingh High School in the state’s Satara district.He started his schooling in a hostile condition. He set an example for students how much,how far and how long one can study. He is an inspiration for all . Nothing can prevent from studying. Should we give excuses for not preparing due to power failure? My dear colleagues, Babasaheb used to study sitting under the lamp post. Who doesn't know this ? Being a student I am very much delighted to be a witness of Students' Day celebration. I have to take leave of you as many other students are going share their views. Thanks for listening me peacefully.




   3.   SAVE ENVIRONMENT SAVE HUMAN BEING .

     --------------------------------------------
Honourable  chairperson, chief guests, and the dignitaries as well as the most respected dear students .
      Friends, we commemorate so many special days such as Republic day, Independence day, World literary day and so on . But well here is one day that deserves  not only commemoration but our total dedication --- world environment Day, 5 June .Today we are celebrating the world environment day in our college. As a student we all know the importance of the day. Every year on this day  we celebrate the programme in our college to create awareness  in the minds of  our friends , neighbours , our companions and those who live in our surroundings . 
 friends our mother earth has made our life worth living,  trees and plants provide us everything .Not only oxygen but also everything ,you name it and you will find its source in the nature .friends  we have learnt the poem 'The felling of the banyan tree '.We learnt that how the devotees of materialism have ruined the beauty of the nature, they have not only ruined the beauty of the nature but also polluted the atmosphere of the world .I'm saying here 'the world ' because they are many in number . In this poem we learnt fifty men chopped the trunk of the tree, through this we can measure the intensity  of their  destructive attitude , really it is a fearful thing no less horrible . And if it goes on ..... one day we will have to leave this world for ever .
    friends ,  think of our next generation . Today we say that had our ancestors paid heed to the family planning like programmes we wound not have to face the problems we are facing today.   But whatever it may be , we have to set the things straight . Today we all have to make a commitment to plant as many trees as we can. And let's take care that they  are grown.
Make awareness about it .Mobilize people for this greater cause. Friends it's not the environment you will be protcting  ... You are protecting your own life and the lives of your beloved ones.
  Thank you  ...

Save Environment is prepared by
