Happy Independence Day!

Greetings to all the readers or should I say HAPPY INDEPENDENCE DAY TO ALL! I think today no greetings will be more suitable other than this.

Our nation, our motherland, has completed 70 years of, its independence, and its freedom. It was the dawn of August 15, 1947 when our first prime minister Late Pt. Nehru unfurled the tricolour and addressed the nation with pride and honour. It was this day when our motherland came to life actually.  This milestone was not achieved in one day but took 200 and numerous efforts by our countrymen.

I can imagine, how difficult it would have been to spend the night of August 14. I am sure nobody had fallen asleep that night. Every eye was full of new dreams, new desires and new hope. Everyone was full of enthusiasm. They were going to become a part of that historical moment which will embark a new beginning of our nation on global paths.

We have come a long way since then. INDIA has emerged as one of the supreme power of the world today. It has proved that once started no destination is far enough to be reached, once thought no work is impossible to complete. Our toil and efforts have made our country to shine on the world map. The fact that , a country where not even a needle was manufactured before Independence, is now the world's largest steel producer and exporter, is enough to convey that What we have become and where we have come.

The country which had been looted several times by the invaders, still today contributes 6.3% share of world's income, the fourth largest in the world in terms of real GDP.

The country which was once lagging behind in the field of education, which could not give enough resources to its citizens, where people were not even aware of themselves, has now come on that point of its journey where it has the calibre to make people admire of its achievement. The time when missiles and nuclear power were only possible for some powerful economies, India was working on its first missile. Today here we are, India has given milestones like AGNI and PRITHVI.

How can anyone forget the foundation of science and technology, the Mathematics. It was us, our country, India who gave the world the Number System and the ZERO which is the basic of number system.

India has given the world many remarkable personalities like Aryabhatta, Bhaskaracharya, Dr. C.V.Raman, Dr. Vikram Sarabhai, Dr. A.P.J. Abdul Kalam and so many more. This list is so big that I can't name every one of them.

These 70 years have brought so much for us that it is impossible for me to even bind half of it in this single post

But yes, a thing which always curts me from inside is that there are still some areas where we still lag behind, where we have to still work a lot. The main domain is the thinking of people. Even today, there exists some people who have a narrow thinking. They still live in the, so called, Orthodox society. In this 21st century where women are doing much better than men in almost every field, some people still think women to be a home material. The aggression and the insensitivity of the young generation was not something which our leaders dreamt of. When I see newspapers burning with rape issues, for a moment, I feel shameful being an Indian. When I see any child with eyes craving for food, craving for knowledge, I feel helpless being an Indian.

We must realize the fact that we are not known by the country but the country is known by us. If we, the Indians, will not uplift our nation then who else will.

We need to realize that something Independence is not something materialistic but it is realistic. Independence is when we will really be free from these stereotypes and when we will really understand the essence of it.

The day, we will achieve this independence, will be the real independence for every one of us. That day, I AM PROUD TO BE AN INDIAN, will be of real meaning to all of us.

Keep working to bring the change not for one day but for every day. Make everyday an INDEPENDENCE DAY!

Importance of Time Management in Student Life

“If you want to be more productive, you need to become master of your minutes”                                                                                                                 Crystal Paine

What oxygen is to life, that time management is to success. One cannot live without oxygen, in the same way one cannot succeed without proper time management.

What exactly is time management?

Time management is a process of organizing and planning how to divide your time between specific activities and use it accordingly. In simple words, time management is using your time effectively and efficiently.

Time management is necessary in every point of life.

But unfortunately most people fail to do this. Time management is something which is not taught to us by teachers or parents. We have to do it on our own. Time management is most important get good score. Everyone has books, syllabus, notes and time, but it is the management of time that makes all the difference.

Howto manage your time while preparing for exam

1. Make a proper time table

Before start studying, students should make a proper schedule according to his/her need.  Planning is important because it allows students to analyze that how much time should be given to particular topic and subject.

2. Prioritize your subjects

First step for time management is to set your priorities. Some subjects need more attention and hard work than others, so it is important to divide your time accordingly between the subjects.

Also every student has his/her weak section so he/she should give more time to those subjects.

3. Give attention to topic also

After dividing subjects, it is important to divide time on topic also. Different topics need different time and labor.

4. Practice

 There is an old adage-“ practice makes a man perfect”. Practice tests are very important before final exam. No one gets succeed just by learning the whole syllabus. Tests are important to judge the student’s performance

5. Focus on health

This is the step which students often skip while studying. Never take your health for granted. Take 15 minutes break after every one hour to refresh. Drink plenty of water. Eat balanced diet.

6. Do not take stress

 Stress is the biggest enemy of the human. If you want to achieve something in life, it is important to stay healthy not only physically but mentally also. For this you can do meditation and exercise.

At last, it is necessary for student to manage his/her time and utilizes every second efficiently. Because “failing to plan is planning to fail”.

Why Scholarships for Students are Necessary?

In a country knees deep in poverty, scholarships for students come forth as a great means of imparting education to everyone who has the will to study but can’t afford it without some financial aid. Amongst the poor, there are a lot of people with exceptional minds struggling to get into colleges since the fee demanded by the colleges is too high. In such cases, scholarships for students come as a much needed respite from this constant act of giving up on dreams just because they don’t have enough capital to fulfill them. Look around you, there would be a lot of faces who gave up some dream or aspiration because they couldn’t get into a college because they didn’t have enough funds to pay the tuition fee for the college or the multitude of costs associated with education.

Scholarships for students are a necessity since the cost of education is rising while the economy is still going down every passing day. Due to the adverse financial conditions in the country, the need for scholarships is growing. People belonging to the middle and lower classes of the society now find it hard to obtain the funds for the education they seek to get. Everything is getting so expensive that a lot of households can’t even afford hostels for their kids, and hence the students have to commute from their homes which is preferably somewhere close to their residence since even commuting has become a costly affair these days. Taking education loans is no longer a good option since people have a lot of debt already, and education loans just add up to the pile. Hence it all comes down to scholarships. While education is costly, it is definitely worth the amount of pain you would go through for achieving it. So, if any of this scared you, don’t be afraid since the road might seem tough, but the destination makes it worth the while. Such is the power that education yields. And scholarships just make it easier for you to reach out to own the power yourself.

We at Talent4Assure run BEST, our program which provides scholarships for students who are underprivileged as well those students who deserve the scholarship, because let’s face it, the number of students who don’t need any scholarships to study is quite low given the current state of the economy. By providing scholarships for students who deserve the scholarship, we try to reinforce the ideal education system we have in our minds wherein education is within the reach of all those who seek to get educated.

Importance of NCERT Books

No society can progress forward without educated people. The importance of education was realised by the Indian government and hence, in 1986, the National policy on Education was approved by Indian parliament and a national system of education was created. The National policy on education recommended a common core education system called NCERT throughout the country. NCERT books are designed keeping in mind the child’s psychological level and the solutions of the questions designed depend upon the understanding of the chapters incorporated in the NCERT books. Most of the schools in India use NCERT books to complete the syllabus designed by CBSE.

The knowledge that NCERT books have and the solutions of the questions designed can make the children or students aware and updated while making them open minded. But to understand and make good use of all of the information inside the NCERT book, it is very important that after acquiring knowledge from the NCERT book in the school, it is tested over again when the student returns back home. The easiest way to test one's understanding of the chapter taught in the school is by going through the NCERT book solutions. This could be easily achieved by testing one’s self by solving questions designed from the very depth of the chapter. Students need a set of questions that not only tests the knowledge of the student but also motivates them to apply their understanding of the chapter in the NCERT books to solve the questions. If the questions designed for the student’s self enhancement is based over each and every line of the chapter then the student would have to read the chapter again and again to solve each and every question of the NCERT book solution set paper. Reading chapter again and again would not only help the student to solve each and every question of the set paper but would also enhance the knowledge and understanding of the chapter which would eventually help the student to apply his/her knowledge to the practical world.

The knowledge gained through education from NCERT books always enhances the confidence of an individual to compete with the outer world. Right education means right knowledge and with right education and knowledge one can be more productive not only towards the society but also towards the nation and to the very large extent towards the entire world.

E-learning or learning at coaching centers? What’s better?

With these ever changing methods of delivering education, humans have progressed from traditional on-campus classroom environments to customized online sessions. With the advent and evolution of the internet, E-learning has gained new grounds in the field of delivering education.

                                 

                              

But, have you ever thought, what leads to an increase in the number of students who are using e-learning portals?  Let’s throw a light on some major advantages of E-learning that has greatly increased its demand in the market. Nothing can ever be as easy as learning without carrying the burden of books on your shoulders. Yes, first and foremost you are saved the labor of carrying heavy books to the coaching centers. It also helps in easy management of data as all the data is stored in a single system and you are not required to safely store your books for future reference. All you have to do is, plug-in your laptops and get ready to be acquainted with an ocean of knowledge.

 

Modern technology has made online learning very easy as e-learning portals use videos, audios, and 3-D designs to explain various concepts which can be effortlessly understood. This not only enhances a student’s virtual imagination but also broaden the minds of students to think in various directions. A much greater range of media like simulations, interactions, scenarios and visual story telling can be used. Unlike coaching centers, there is no time boundation.  One can start learning anytime, anywhere thus giving preference to increased personalization of scheduling a factor critical for modern learners. E-learning in a way turns the world into a classroom or just the corner of your bedroom if you prefer. Stopping, starting, replaying a particular video or audio are some features of E-learning that cannot be applied in a physical classroom.

     

Coaching classes nowadays have become more of a trend and crowd puller than an effective method of teaching. Multiple batches with more than hundred students in a particular batch make the learning less effective owing to the distractions one faces in a classroom. Also, students are not able to retain completely whatever has been taught in the class. On the other hand, one minute of classroom time is not equal to one minute of online training. A Larger rate of knowledge is retained when a student studies all by himself without any hindrance in his understanding.  

E-learning in a way acts as a one-stop platform, which provides you knowledge of every individual subject and topic -”All at one place”. No matter whether you were able to attend a particular lecture at a specific time, you can always go back and learn again whenever you have time.

Traditional ways of learning are more into use as this method is being carried out for ages and has also led to the emergence of coaching centers, but that does not state the fact that this method is the best. Advancement has always been the law of the world and with an advancement towards  E-learning, we are taking a step further toward digital India.
