Forests are the backbone of our environment. But unfortunately, India has seen a lot of depletion in the forest cover post-independence. It has been deduced that almost 5000 million hectares of forest land got lost to non-forestry purpose, 0.07 million to illegal encroachment, 4.37 million to cultivation and for various other reasons.

Is Our Benevolence and Charity Enough to End Poverty?

The problem of poverty has become so deep-seated in India that we still cannot fathom how long it would take for us to overcome this situation that has plagued the nation for decades. We have come a long way from having a huge count of 270 million poor back in 2005-06 until the recent better result that shows 70.6 million number of poor in 2018. Progress has definitely been observed in India which enunciates that whatever measures have been taken up by NGO Foundations and the government should be perfectly continued to fully eradicate the poverty situation from the country. But, even after such a struggle with poverty, it is still existent with 22% of our entire population residing below the poverty line. Thus there is a realization:   being philanthropic and doing a bit of charity is not going to solve the problem from its root. The Indian government in collaboration with NGOs in Delhi , Mumbai & other major cities have built momentum over the sustainable de

The Prevalance of Superstition and its Adverse Effect on Indian Society

Beliefs and superstitions are whirling the minds of people since times unknown. They might be silly and ridiculous for some but are a matter of grave concern for others. No matter how technologically advanced we have become in this 21 st century, the practice of superstitions is still widespread in this whole world.

The bad omen of being crossed by a black cat, the whining of dogs at night, eye twitching or hiccups are some of the superstitions that people strongly believe in and fear that something bad might happen with them in the future. The youth culture of the nation is not much habitual with its practice but these beliefs are somehow being inherited from our forefathers and cannot be neglected altogether.
