Essay on "Education is lifelong task. Do you agree or disagree?"

Education is lifelong task. Do you agree or disagree?

------------

I fully agree that Education is a lifelong task. In this essay I will elaborate my point of view.

World is drastically changing day and on. Technology, Health, Medicines, Health monitoring and care, Entertainment, Agriculture, Automobiles, Information, Communication, Media and what not. In this fast changing scenario, one must be educated to keep pace with the time and be the Fittest. Because survival is for the Fittest and one who cannot keep pace with the time cannot survive.

Keeping well informed is most important. “INFORMATION IS POWER”. One must learn and change. Those unprepared to change are simply “thrown out” aside.

 The Gramophone and Radios have been replaced by TV & Internet. Handy mobile cell phones have replaced stationary Big & Bulky Telephones. Communication via Sea & Air has been replaced by electronic mail popularly known as Email that is widely used.

Computerization has so fast developed that one must keep up-to-date information an learn. Now Air Booking, Rail Booking, Shopping, Banking and everything is available on line. One can perform these operations at his desk with laptop or Tablet.

Necessity is the mother of invention, and necessity brings innovation. Unlike huge computers in the past, now we have Laptops and Tablets that are very lightweight and compact and can be carried anywhere and operated comfortably.

Along with advancement in computer field, change in modusoperandi is obvious and inevitable. One must educate him or her to be able to keep pace with the time and changing scenario.

In a nutshell, in all walks of life, the scenario are changing fast and population by large must be prepared learn to change and keep pace with the time. This can be achieved if we follow a principle “Education is a Lifelong Task”

FAMINE (essay for School Level)

FAMINE

A famine may be defined the act of “The God”, a Force majeure whereby an acute shortage of food for the people and animal life occurs. Famine occurs either due to acute shortage of rains or massive rain falls. Shortage of the rain causes non-growth of crops and the latter may cause floods and the harvest is washed out. One more cause of famine is ravage of locusts on the crops. Locusts eat away the entire crops and hence the famine.

Water is most essential for the agriculture and farming. In the absence of required rains, the soil remains dry and hot hence no crop can grow thereby causing famine.

The greatest famines that occurred in India took place in Bengal in the year 1770 and 1947 and Odisha in the year 1869. During these famines numerous human lives were lost due to starvation. Due to famine and hunger, the men and women lose humanity and turn brutal and merciless

Unlike olden days, now a days the relief has been possible due proliferation of automobiles. This makes the transport easy. Also many charitable institutions, NGOs and government come forward for the help and rescue.  The rescue operations and food supply operations are carried out with the help of Army, Police by using helicopters.

In summary, during the famine not only human lives are lost but the animal life like cows, bullocks, horses, donkeys, camels and other wild life animals too suffer starvation and die.  A famine is a “force-majeure” and the act of the God.

FLOODS (Essay for school level)

 Excessive supplies of water from natural source say rains result into flood. This excess volume of water goes into rivers and hence river bed swells and water overflows all over. This overflow of water is called “Flood”.

Water thus enters farms, villages, towns and cities. This situation is called “Flood Situation.” When water floods over the farms the crops are badly damaged or ruined.  When crops are ruined the food supply is affected and the situation of a “Famine” occurs.

When water gushes into villages, towns and cities with a violent current, it results into collapse of houses, buildings and many other establishments. Numerous human and animal lives may be lost by floods.   

Floods give rise to tremendous pollution. The dead animals and human bodies get decomposed and spread foul smell everywhere. This atmosphere pollution results into spread of several diseases like typhoid fever, cholera, leptospirosis and hepatitis A and Vector-borne diseases, such as malaria, dengue and dengue hemorrhagic fever, yellow fever, and West Nile Fever. After the floods the government has a herculean task of cleaning affected areas and rehabilitation of the occupants of such areas.

Floods normally have the worst effect on the villages and localities near the river banks and coastal areas. Hence government with the help of Army, Police and Air service try and evacuate population from such areas and shift people to safe areas.

In nutshell flood is a natural calamity that is disastrous. We can’t prevent the floods but we can surely minimize them by our efforts towards (1) Saving Jungles (2) Avoiding making catchment areas in colonies (3) Proper waste disposal and (4) Growing more and more trees and creating green belts.
