India’s Caste Based Reservation, is it actually helping Indians?

The national emblem of the Republic of India

Does caste based reservation in India violates the constitutional and fundamental right of equality?

This is an obvious question that arises whenever we think of caste based reservation in India. Whether we agree or disagree, truth cannot be denied that reservations had slowed the progress of India and its people. Obviously the implementation of reservation act in the early 1950’s was to uplift the suppressed castes of India and it was indeed for a Nobel cause, in the end India’s citizens should be called as just Indians. This is what constitution refers to when it starts with ‘we the people of India’, isn’t it?

Was it just India having caste based discrimination among people of society? Actually it’s not the case. There have been so many countries facing this issue among its society, where people terribly discriminate towards a certain group of community.

Discrimination is in the genes of Humans, specifically on the grounds of superior and inferior. In today’s modernization this isn’t required when already there have been a class of rich and poor, we need no more classes of people. With distinctive efforts worldwide, many countries could stop it, close to zero. But India as nation couldn’t stop it, people tend to discriminate and when certain group or family of people are classified as lower class, the things start getting difficult. The plan India took to solve this issue, doesn’t seem to be helping. In the past seven decades of Independent India all it did was increasing the gap between general caste (termed as upper) and the reserved castes of Dalits, SC,ST and OBCs. With certain strict implementation of reservations in schools, government colleges, Jobs and promotions too and all this with no economic status consideration leads to divided society of India. The poor dalits who sincerely need these reservations would rarely get these benefits when rich and already uplifted dalits/SCs/STs get them. The Honourable supreme court of India had time to time stated and also ruled the decision to implement creamy layer concept in the reservations for the SCs and ST (acronym for Scheduled castes and scheduled tribes of India). The creamy layer in relation to reservations means if certain community who enjoys the benefit of reservations would not get these benefits, if crossed a certain limit of annual income. Reserved communities falling below that specified annual income fall into non-creamy layer. This concept is already implemented for OBC (other backward castes) reservations in India.

Discrimination in other countries

United States of America (USA)

Protester during the protest for George Floyd’s Murder by US Police

Discrimination of race among:

  • Black & White
  • Native Americans (Tribal Americans) and Modern Americans (British descended)

Racism in the United States has existed since the colonial era, and involved laws, practices and action that discriminated or otherwise adversely impacted various groups based on their race or ethnicity, while most white Americans enjoyed legally or socially sanctioned privileges and rights which were denied to other races and communities of African Americans.

The recent killing of Black American namely George Floyd by the US state police is a pure example of still existing racial discrimination in USA.

Japan

The untouchable of Japan, Burakumin caste

The Burakumin caste in japan faces huge amount of discrimination, even in today’s extremely modernised Japan. The Burakumin (from the words buraku, meaning community or hamlet and min, meaning people) are not an ethnic minority, but rather a caste- or descent-based group. They therefore share with other Japanese the same language, religion, customs and physical appearances.

Burakumin caste originates from a now-defunct caste system that existed in the Edo Period (1603-1867). At the bottom of the hierarchy was a cohort of outcasts consigned to jobs stigmatized by death, such as executions or animal slaughter. Hence their derogatory class categories, including eta (filthy mass) or hinin (nonhuman). The burakumin are the modern-day descendants of these feudal age pariahs.

The caste system came to an end in tandem with Japan’s breakneck shift to modernization at the outset of the Meiji Era (1868-1912), with the government ostensibly declaring the outcasts “emancipated” in 1871.

But the burakumin remained largely segregated from society and stuck in ghettos. Even today, discrimination against people from these hamlets, or buraku, runs deep, activists say, despite efforts by the government in the late 1990s to encourage their assimilation into mainstream society.

What could be the possible solution?

Providing special reservations and status above than the general segment of the society could work for uplifting the supressed communities but it’s definitely not an ideal solution. This would never help in bridging the gaps among different segments of society. This is how caste based reservation in India was initially implemented and the founder of Indian constitution B.R. Ambedkar himself said that this reservation system should be abrogated in few years. Unfortunately, this could never happen due to deeply engraved caste and religion based politics of India. Governments one after another could not dare to upset certain parts of society and used them as their vote banks. In return to continuous renewing of reservation duration (set for 10 years in the Indian constitution), governments in India formed NO effective policies which could actually solve India’s poverty crisis and kept on getting votes just by luring people of India by reservations. In reality, reservations are hollowing India’s strength and calibre, reducing technological advancements and increasing India’s dependency over rest of the world.

In many developed nations reservations were implemented in a manner that it expired on its own. One such example is by providing reservations only on the basis of financial income and if provided towards a certain community, it should be for only one generation because it is obvious and natural to understand that if one generation is uplifted then their next generation would get all the benefits of early education and other privileges to sustain an earnings or to get a job on their own.

NGT directive to Ministry of Environment on banning RO purifiers.

By Udbhav Bhargava

The NGT ordered the Ministry of Environment and Forests to issue a notification banning RO purifiers within two months in which total dissolved solids (TDS) in water are below 500 milligrams per liter (mg/l). The bench, led by NGT Chairman of Justice Adarsh Kumar Goel, said the delay in compliance with the order is causing harm to human health and the environment, and it shall be promptly complied with.
In an attempt to control the use of RO purifiers, the NGT had issued directions to the government to ban them where total dissolved solids (TDS) in water are below 500 mg/l, and to spread public awareness of the negative effects of demineralized water. The tribunal also directed the authorities for mandatorily implement norms for recovery more than 60 percent of the water wherever RO is allowed throughout the country.
The order came after a report from an advisory group that said that if TDS is less than 500 milligrams per liter, a RO device would not be useful, but will contribute to the removal of essential minerals as well as causing undue wastage of water. This well-planned step was an appropriate response to the plea filed by an NGO Friends seeking to protect drinking water by avoiding its wastage due to excessive use of RO systems. The issued directive will have multifaceted implications on potable water resources, physical health of the masses, and the Indian water purifier industry worth 34 billion (INR).

Demineralized water and associated risks

As a result of distillation, deionization, membrane filtration (reverse osmosis or Nanofiltration), electro-dialysis, or other technology, the treated water is almost or completely free of dissolved minerals. This is demineralized water. In such water, the total dissolved solids (TDS) may vary but TDS could be as low as 1mg/l (As per WHO).
TDS is composed of both inorganic salts and small amounts of organic matter. According to a WHO report, concentrations of TDS below 300 mg/l are considered outstanding, whereas 900 mg/l is said to be bad and over 1200 mg/l is unacceptable. Reverse Osmosis (RO) is a water purification process that uses pressure to drive molecules through a semipermeable membrane to extract contaminants from water.

Demineralized water that has not been re-mineralized, or water with low mineral content – in the absence or substantial lack of essential minerals in it – is not considered ideal drinking water, and therefore, its regular consumption may not provide adequate levels of certain beneficial nutrients. It is considered to be an extreme case of low-mineral or soft water because it contains only small amounts of dissolved minerals such as calcium and magnesium, which are the major contributors to hardness.
• Minimized intake of low-mineral water calcium and magnesium.
• High intake of some essential elements and microelements from high-mineral water.
• Possible increased intake of toxic metals into the diet.
• Water is more susceptible to bacterial contamination.

In the Indian context, demineralization takes place in the homes through purifiers, further eliminating the scope of re-mineralization. Furthermore, according to various sources, to get a liter of RO-treated water, 3 liters of water is wasted by the purifier. India’s water problem is also attributed to a lack of state planning, increased privatization of companies, industrial and human waste, and corruption by governments. However, water scarcity is expected to intensify in India as the population overall is estimated to rise to 1.6 billion by 2050. To a certain end, it is predicted that global water shortages will become a leading cause of mainstream political conflict in the future, and the prognosis for India is no different.

Hence, active and stringent implementation from the ministry is needed in the long-term ahead. It is an inherent demand of this directive, since, both public health and water resources of the country are at stake. Any degradation or deterioration in any of them will have intensified repercussions on the human resources, living standards, the economy, and in turn on the GDP of the country (taking a larger timeframe into consideration).

Juvenile Justice Act, 2015: Unconstitutionality of the Amendment

The unconstitutional amendment of Juvenile Justice Act, 2015 begins its contradictions from the initial provisions itself. The section 2(12) of the main Act states that a juvenile means a person who has not completed the age of 18 years and on the other side this amended version contradicts its own law as it states that children from 16-18 years of age can be tried as adult criminals. It also reflects how arbitrary it is on testified along with the tests under Art. 14.

The test of Intelligible differentia, another test under Art. 14, is found unreasonable too due to the logic and the reasons behind the Act. Firstly, it replaces the word juvenile with child in conflict with law which was supposedly more humane. But this very child in conflict with law is meant to be tried for adult offences and this inhumane idea is conceived by the Government. Furthermore, the terms child alleged to be in conflict with law and child found to be in conflict with the law are not defined clearly and are used interchangeably in the Act. It stands as a great flaw due to the general understanding of the evident difference between alleged to be and found to be.

In the second test, the nexus between the classification and the object is absent as the authorities have acted without following the procedure to unequal treatment. The object or the purpose of the Juvenile Justice Act is to provide care, protection and child friendly approach but the approach suddenly disappears towards the child between the ages of 16-18 years. The objective of Juvenile Justice Act is not being fulfilled as Juveniles are being treated as adult criminals and sent to the prison where they would be influenced to be more hardened criminals since the purpose of the Act is to protect the juvenile from committing further crimes and evidently not fulfilled with the amendment. Instead the government through this specific provision is giving a hand in converting the juveniles into hardened criminals unlikely of the main idea which stands to reform the juveniles so that they could be accepted into the society.

There is also a violation of fundamental right under Art. 21 as the rights of opportunity to be heard and right of fair trial are infringed. The right of the juvenile to be tried infront of the Children’s Court gets him infront of the Session court with the other hardened criminals and consequently, the degree of punishment is harsher.

Section 15 of the Act seeks to repeal and replace the existing Juvenile Justice Act, 2002 with a draconian and unconstitutional amendment which instead of providing care and protection to the children deems them as an adult in cases where the alleged commission of crime by them is heinous in nature. It seeks to punish the child in conflict with the law for the failure of the society at large in providing the child with adequate care and protection. Juveniles in conflict with the law are more capable of change given the fact that their brains are still learning. Honest efforts made towards rehabilitation — including visits by a mental health professional three-four times a month — will have a significant positive impact on them. Unfortunately, there is no psychiatric screening in Indian prisons. No mental health professional would meet the juvenile convicted in any case and would lead to its worser development, totally against the objective of the Act. Every child develops in different background factors and considering to bring most of them into a similar set would be unethical since their mental faculty would not be equal.

The provision does not necessarily decide on the child in respect to his psychological or social factors but only governs on his mental faculty while committing the crime. It is totally undermined by the government that the mental faculty actually develops through these factors. More often than not the children who are put into rehabilitation centres come through as a changed human being. Under the existing law of a child in conflict with law between the age of 16-18 years who were found to have committed an offence by Juvenile Justice Board, there was an arrangement of rehabilitation supposition that could be passed by the Board. This rehabilitation disposition includes admonition community service, imposition of fine, probation group counselling and an extreme measure of deprivation of liberty by way of placement of the child in the special home for three years. The same facilities however could take a drastic turn in for cases when they are handed over the sessions court.

There are many further circumstances under the Indian law a person under the age is not allowed to vote, is considered minor for entering into a contract, a girl of age less than eighteen years cannot give consent for sexual relationships, a child of age less than eighteen years cannot marry. Yet by the amended Act that child can be tried as an adult after a preliminary assessment, the child shall be presumed to have the knowledge and understanding of the alleged crime that he has committed. Such a scenario would be travesty of justice. The idea behind treating a certain age group as children is to protect the most vulnerable section of the society where the government would have analysed in such matters that they are not mature enough to deal with these things. It is unjust and against the well-established principle lex iniusta non est lex that states that unjust law is not a law.

 Section 15 of Juvenile Justice Act, 2015 is hence against natural conscience, unjustified and unconstitutional to which we hope, no child falls as prey.

Responsibility towards Organisation of HR

In the organisation , there are various roles and responsibilities towards organisations. HR has many responsibilities in the company from planning to controlling of any project or work. The role of HR specialist has also typically been associated with administrative duties, such as gathering, filing and storing paperwork, and they have traditionally worked in establishing and enforcing company responsibilities. In the part, this is because the human resource role frequently originated from administrative or finance departments. This is logical as responsibilities such as payroll, hiring and benefits lie in the scope of those business unit.

Being different

Starting to start that has not been started before is a great start. Have guts to innovate something. Being different isn’t doing something that exists already. Create something on your own and work on it. Don’t work on something that is something to someone. Work on something that makes you feel something.

Do it because it’s not done. Doing the undone isn’t that easy. But regular work towards something makes you feel it’s essence. Have a great thought and have a good start. Great things take time but when you are in the process of making it, the time flies. Don’t work if you feel uninterested for the next day. Have a feel to have a feel the very next day. Lead a happy life because money isn’t something that you remember. Have a happy life and do something different if you feel doing different makes you happy. Following is very easy but to gain followers is tougher. Don’t nake your life simple and easy because that’s too boring. Go and experience the unexpected and have a unimaginable life.

Being different is not that easy. The toughest time is to survive the rest. Have a faith, if you can’t believe you then why do you hope for someone to have a belief in you. You must be able to push yourself to the extent where you can be able to push others. Have confidence to gain some others confidence. Have a great thought and have a great zeal to explore the possibility of making something great.

Remember that no one remembers you when it’s time to remember someone. So make something big to have a big name. Being someone is the same thing that every one does. Dieing in downtown is so easy. Make sure to have a great life not a great day. Getting a good job might make your day a good one. Have guts to feel your gut feeling. Feel to have a great feel everyday because that’s something you will have the rest of your life. Life isn’t something you can learn in a lifetime. You have to study the new chapters that were never taught by any of the teachers. You don’t know when the syllabus changes. You have to change your colleges all of sudden. You have to play a game with yourself. If you go for a wrong move there are great chances that you end up by keeping checkmate to yourself. Life is something similar to chess. You will die the very moment you lose. Surviving there as long as you make some fixings with your opponent is how the game is played. If you go for man to man, you end up soon before your start.

Being different is so different because it’s difficult. Easy is so easy because it’s tend to be easy. Dare enough to make a dare move in your life. You will end up dieing whether you play safe or make a dare. Daring to die is better than living like a slave. Change your life because you can. Live a life that was never lived before. Loosing is easy but accepting the fact is so difficult. Die as a gentleman , if you can’t atleast try. Don’t kive just to survive. If you have a chance to create an impression of your life, then try for it. Go for something big because if you fail, there’s nothing to loose. Keep in trying, never quit. Have a different and difficult life. Anyways you will forget all the pain you had and all the gain you had, so better to have a tough one. Believe you are not that easy.

My first earning

Do you remember the first time you earn money in your life? Well, you might be earning for so many years now, but the very first of your earning is always really something. That is exactly when your dreams start to have their wings to fly high and you feel what your worth is! May it be a small earning but it always makes you happy and satisfied. Now why the first earnings are so special to us? Is it special to everyone in general? It could be…

When I earned my first reward of my hard work, I was so overwhelmed and satisfied. It fostered a new feeling in me that I am not that bad to make myself an independent person. I realized that I was capable of doing things that I thought otherwise would be never my cup of tea. It was a very small earning but it did make a satisfaction in me. It made me realize my worth and my capability. That moment promised me that I am capable of being who I want to be. It doesn’t matter what job you do,unless you love it, and how much do you earn. All that matters is that if you are able to make yourself stable and strong. Find happiness and satisfaction in your achievements. Let all the small things in your life make you smile.

Advertisement

We see that there is a great competition now in every field of life. To reach the prospective buyers there is a need of some type of approach. But contact with individual is impossible.
This has made advertisements very much important.  
Businessmen and manufacturers are the most beneficiary of advertisements. Advertisement makes people able to know about which articles being manufactured are on the sale in the market.
If there is no advertisement people will not be able to know about various excellent products in the market. This is the reason for the huge investment on advertisement.
There are various ways for advertisement, but the cheapest and the most popular is newspaper publicity.
TV, radio, cinema slides, hoard­ings, posters etc. are other different sources of advertisement. Small documentary films are also prepared by some manufacturers for their products as a means of advertisement.
But newspaper plays an important role for non-product advertise­ment. If a firm wants to fill any vacancy in his establishment he will go for an advertisement in a newspaper to fill that vacancy.

The Positive Effects of Advertisement

There are many positive effects of advertising both for the company and the consumers. And some of those positive effects are mentioned below.

  1. Social Benefits

There are many social benefits which advertisements can provide. For example, advertisements can highlight various social issues and promote free speech in nations where it might still be suppressed. This is a very important effect of advertisement. It is also important to remember that it is the freedom of speech and advertising-supported content which are the promoters of various social changes.

  1. Economic Benefits

According to research, advertisements can make companies and businesses compete to provide higher quality products and services. This ensures that more high-quality products and services are available in the markets which are able to meet the needs and requirements of all customers. This is a very important positive effect of advertisement.

The Negative Effects of Advertisement

In this last section, readers will be able to learn about the negative effects of advertisements. And some of those negative effects of advertisements are mentioned below.

  1. Misrepresentation

All advertisements tend to display the products and services in the best possible light. And many advertisements often tend to cross the line of a little exaggeration to utterly falsely representing the product or the service. There are many government organization which charges hefty fines for misrepresentation.

  1. False Image

Advertisements tend to invade all possible spheres and because of that one can often develop a false image. This false image also often tends to make an individual feel bad about himself or herself. This is also one of the negative effects of advertising to children.

Advertising is a form of marketing communication through which a business or an organization informs the target audience about its products and services. There are two major types of advertisements. And those are positive and negative advertisements. There are also many forms of advertisements. There are also many negative and positive effects of advertisements like the unrealistic expectations, false image, and the social and economic benefits of advertisements.

The Connected Apple family

Apple’s ecosystem is huge. Nearly one billion people use more than one billion Apple devices. Or as sales for the iPhone decline, Apple brings tens of millions of young people into its ecosystem every year. However, we are getting to the point where it is wise to start thinking about what user growth means to Apple.

Number of users

Estimating the number of Apple users is a straightforward task. Last January, Apple revealed that there are more than 900 million iPhones in the wild. Given that iPhones are not routinely shared, Apple’s revelation revealed that there are nearly 900 million people using iPhones. With the actual number of iPhones in the wild probably now over 925 million, there is an aggressive room for that number of 900 million users in the rare cases of people using more than one iPhone.

Apple also revealed that there are eighteen billion active devices (1.4 billion) on the foundations installed since January 2019. The number has grown by 100 million devices in the last 12 months and has even increased by 400 million devices over the past three years. This tells us that there are 500 million Apple devices in use other than iPhones. Most of those devices are 500 million iPads. The Mac represents another 110 million devices, and a collection of home textiles and accessories make up the remaining devices.
Apple’s production apps such as Pages, Numbers and Keynotes are powerful ways to use Microsoft Office suite and now supporting integration with iCloud makes sharing files easier and easier.

Group FaceTime is also a great addition because it can support multi-user interactions with Apple devices which can indicate headaches than third-party teleconferencing apps and there is a Message that lets you reply to conversations on all your devices.

My main app is Notes now as it supports sharing and collaboration, it’s easy enough to share things like lists or combine all folders to share with others, be it work or hobbies.

The negative trend is probably the need for everyone to be in the ecosystem and unlike Google or Microsoft, you can’t deny that Apple is a crossroads.

Also, most iOS apps are available on other platforms so in the event that, like most workplaces, you work with people with a variety of devices, there are still ways for everyone to work collaboratively from where they are, regardless of their hardware.
Apple has an excellent ecosystem for all electronic retailers. There is no question. No other player in the technology industry does both software and software at least not on all platforms, and Apple creates both Hardware and software for phones, tablets, computers, TVs. You call it the apple ecosystem. This gives Apple some great benefits when it comes to their programs such as amazing upgrades to iOS and MacOS, and greater security, services, etc, but it also means their ecosystem is compatible. It just works, The apple devices integration with apple devices develops the best apple experience to the user.

How To Be Happy

Happiness is word full of joy and broad smiles. It is a never-ending trail of hunt for which everyone keep on searching throughout. But what happiness truly is? Is it having luxurious cars around you? Or is it having a feet long pool? Is it having your favourite ice cream on a bad day? Or is it playing football in the rain? 

All of it must have been recognised by you as happiness but in reality, these are just a way to your happiness. Pathways that lead you to happiness.
Happiness is a state of mind. A pause in the hustling time when you feel, feel alive. The sense of accomplishment of anything that calm your soul and maintain your peace is happiness. When our mind is relaxed and at peace, everything seems happier but if we are troubled, even the finest have flaws. 
Most of the people miss to understand the real meaning of happiness. Ofcourse, the way they see it, the things that make them happy are indeed what happiness is but all these are the pathways that leads them to the real meaning of happiness. The truth of happiness is the cause of them being happy in the definition of their happiness.
Happiness really doesn’t come free of cost. You have to live it and feel it. People need to understand that

Happiness is a choice. Once, if you choose to be happy, there is nobody who can stop you from being that.

Being happy has a direct connection with your mind. If you seek happiness with your senses, for sure you will find it. Some of the ways to be happy are :

Acceptance 

Mark a note about it for life that 
Acceptance is the key to a smooth, happy and peaceful life.
When we accept things as the way they are, we feel satisfied and when a person is satisfied, they feel happy and grateful for the way everything is/was. Accepting things and being satisfied lead us to being positive about life, and thus thankful for same. Eventually, this sense of acceptance will make you feel stronger and thus happier. You will let go things and accept some and will improve or develop skills and abilities, stepping forward to growth.

Generosity

“Whoever sows sparingly will also reap sparingly, and whoever sows generously will also reap generously”     The holy Bible marks the purpose and forecoming of being generous in life. Being kind and humble to people make a person feel better and accomplished about themselves. To be able to serve the needy and helping somebody in their hard time is indeed one of the things that make people happy. When we give, we feel good and it comes back to us in unexpected ways. Always be humble to people, seeing the others smiling at you will make you feel better and happy. 

Create your own Happiness.

The best way to be happy is by creating your happiness on your own. Choosing to be happy. Choosing to have a smile on you always, not just for showing but because you genuinely are smiling from inside. Do whatever makes you smile. Go out, feel things, be thankful. Having a sense of thankfulness and gratitude is a way to ace happiness and peace. The more gratitude you have, the happier you are. Be positive about everything and be realistic. Do whatever you feel like but ofcourse not without thinking. Smile more, but not the fake one. Spend time in the real world not the social one. Say goodbyes to the toxicity and negativity from your lives. And when you are awa from all of this dust, do whatever you feel like and want to. Feel free to feel anything. Feel free to hear the birds chirping, to dance yourself off and love yourself. When you love everything about you and everything around you, you feel better. 

And you will be the happiest the moment you chose to live not to just exist. When you accept and move forward to brighter days with confidence and optimism in your veins, happiness itself will come and knock your door. Just remember, it will always be you who can either multiply or divide the happiness coming your way. Smile! I am already thankful for those which read it till yet, Thankyou and please smile? You’re so freaking precious when you smile! 

INFERTILITY HURTS!

6 Things to Know Before Starting Infertility Treatments
source: www.chicagohealthonline.com

Infertility means not being able to get pregnant after one year of trying (or six months if a woman is 35 or older). Women who can get pregnant but are unable to stay pregnant may also be infertile.

Pregnancy is the result of a process that has many steps. To get pregnant:

  • A woman’s body must release an egg from one of her ovaries (ovulation).
  • The egg must go through a fallopian tube toward the uterus(womb).
  • A man’s sperm must join with (fertilize) the egg along the way.
  • The fertilized egg must attach to the inside of the uterus (implantation).

Infertility can happen if there are problems with any of these steps.

Is infertility a women problem?

No, infertility is not always a woman’s problem. Both women and men can have problems that cause infertility. About one-third of infertility cases are caused by women’s problems. Another one third of fertility problems are due to the man. The other cases are caused by a mixture of male and female problems or by unknown problems.

Most cases of female infertility are caused by problems with ovulation. Without ovulation, there are no eggs to be fertilized. Some signs that a woman is not ovulating normally include irregular or absent menstrual periods.

Ovulation problems are often caused by polycystic ovarian syndrome (PCOS). PCOS is a hormone imbalance problem which can interfere with normal ovulation. PCOS is the most common cause of female infertility. Primary ovarian insufficiency (POI) is another cause of ovulation problems. POI occurs when a woman’s ovaries stop working normally before she is 40. POI is not the same as early menopause.

Less common causes of fertility problems in women include:

  • Blocked fallopian tubes due to pelvic inflammatory disease, endometriosis, or surgery for ectopic pregnancy
  • Physical problems with the uterus
  • Uterine fibroids, which are non-cancerous clumps of tissue and muscle on the walls of the uterus.

Many things can change a woman’s ability to have a baby. These include:

  • Age
  • Smoking
  • Excess alcohol use
  • Stress
  • Poor diet
  • Athletic training
  • Being overweight or underweight
  • Sexually transmitted infections (STIs)
  • Health problems that cause hormonal changes, such as polycystic ovarian syndrome and primary ovarian insufficiency.

Infertility in men is most often caused by:

  • A problem called varicocele. This happens when the veins on a man’s testicle(s) are too large. This heats the testicles. The heat can affect the number or shape of the sperm.
  • Other factors that cause a man to make too few sperm or none at all.
  • Movement of the sperm. This may be caused by the shape of the sperm. Sometimes injuries or other damage to the reproductive system block the sperm.

Sometimes a man is born with the problems that affect his sperm. Other times problems start later in life due to illness or injury. For example, cystic fibrosis often causes infertility in men.

A man’s sperm can be changed by his overall health and lifestyle. Some things that may reduce the health or number of sperm include:

  • Heavy alcohol use
  • Drugs
  • Smoking cigarettes
  • Age
  • Environmental toxins, including pesticides and lead
  • Health problems such as mumps, serious conditions like kidney disease, or hormone problems
  • Medicines
  • Radiation treatment and chemotherapy for cancer

Infertility can be treated with medicine, surgery, artificial insemination, or assisted reproductive technology. Many times these treatments are combined. In most cases infertility is treated with drugs or surgery.

Doctors recommend specific treatments for infertility based on:

  • Test results
  • How long the couple has been trying to get pregnant
  • The age of both the man and woman
  • The overall health of the partners
  • Preference of the partners

Doctors often treat infertility in men in the following ways:

  • Sexual problems: Doctors can help men deal with impotence or premature ejaculation. Behavioral therapy and/or medicines can be used in these cases.
  • Too few sperm: Sometimes surgery can correct the cause of the problem. In other cases, doctors surgically remove sperm directly from the male reproductive tract. Antibiotics can also be used to clear up infections affecting sperm count.
  • Sperm movement: Sometimes semen has no sperm because of a block in the man’s system. In some cases, surgery can correct the problem.

In women, some physical problems can also be corrected with surgery.

A number of fertility medicines are used to treat women with ovulation problems. It is important to talk with your doctor about the pros and cons of these medicines. You should understand the possible dangers, benefits, and side effects.

Intrauterine insemination (IUI) is an infertility treatment that is often called artificial insemination. In this procedure, the woman is injected with specially prepared sperm. Sometimes the woman is also treated with medicines that stimulate ovulation before IUI.

IUI is often used to treat:

  • Mild male factor infertility
  • Women who have problems with their cervical mucus
  • Couples with unexplained infertility

Assisted reproductive technology (ART) is a group of different methods used to help infertile couples. ART works by removing eggs from a woman’s body. The eggs are then mixed with sperm to make embryos. The embryos are then put back in the woman’s body.

Common methods of ART include:

  • In vitro fertilization (IVF) means fertilization outside of the body. IVF is the most effective ART. It is often used when a woman’s fallopian tubes are blocked or when a man produces too few sperm. Doctors treat the woman with a drug that causes the ovaries to produce multiple eggs. Once mature, the eggs are removed from the woman. They are put in a dish in the lab along with the man’s sperm for fertilization. After 3 to 5 days, healthy embryos are implanted in the woman’s uterus.
  • Zygote intrafallopian transfer (ZIFT) or Tubal Embryo Transfer is similar to IVF. Fertilization occurs in the laboratory. Then the very young embryo is transferred to the fallopian tube instead of the uterus.
  • Gamete intrafallopian transfer (GIFT) involves transferring eggs and sperm into the woman’s fallopian tube. So fertilization occurs in the woman’s body. Few practices offer GIFT as an option.
  • Intracytoplasmic sperm injection (ICSI) is often used for couples in which there are serious problems with the sperm. Sometimes it is also used for older couples or for those with failed IVF attempts. In ICSI, a single sperm is injected into a mature egg. Then the embryo is transferred to the uterus or fallopian tube

Assisted reproductive technology procedures sometimes involve the use of donor eggs (eggs from another woman), donor sperm, or previously frozen embryos.

Donor eggs are sometimes used for women who cannot produce eggs. Also, donor eggs or donor sperm are sometimes used when the woman or man has a genetic disease that can be passed on to the baby.

An infertile woman or couple may also use donor embryos. These are embryos that were either created by couples in infertility treatment or were created from donor sperm and donor eggs. The donated embryo is transferred to the uterus. The child will not be genetically related to either parent.

Surrogacy

Women with no eggs or unhealthy eggs might also want to consider surrogacy. A surrogate is a woman who agrees to become pregnant using the man’s sperm and her own egg. The child will be genetically related to the surrogate and the male partner.

Gestational Carrier

Women with ovaries but no uterus may be able to use a gestational carrier. This may also be an option for women who shouldn’t become pregnant because of a serious health problem. In this case, a woman uses her own egg. It is fertilized by her partner’s sperm and the embryo is placed inside the carrier’s uterus.

Just because something isn’t happening for you right now doesn’t mean that will never happen. Even miracles take little time.

Internships are just like footprints in the sand each steps signifies the journey taken.

An internship is basically a period of work experience or an opportunity provided by companies to an intern for a specific period of tenure where they can gain work experience or satisfy requirements for qualification.Internships are very crucial way of obtaining knowledge or practical exposure of how actually the corporates operates.It plays a very crucial role in advancing or enhancing one’s career.Someone rightly quoted that “There is no substitute really for learning about the World of work and being in the World of work you can do through Internships”.An internship can provide career building experience and could be a steeping stone to your dream job.An internship provided by the corporates are of two types paid and unpaid.If intern take the internship seriously and do it with utmost honesty and dedication then company provides PPO (pre-placement offer). Through Internship intern can learn about career field from inside and could have experience of working with professionals.Through internship one can learn new skills and builds leadership qualities.

It acts as an opportunity to practice formal communication and team work skills.It leads to achieve a sense of accomplishment and boost confidence in an intern.Traits like integrity,commitment ans self -motivation are learned by an intern during internship.It helps develops professionalism and also encourage character growth.Internship are work experience are a proven method of getting one’s foot in the door.

Rising in 2020 – EARTHQUAKE outbreaks

INDIA has witnessed 127 miniature earthquakes in the first half of 2020.From  the far east of Arunachal pradesh to the far north of kashmir, the south  to capital Delhi itself , miniute temours became a daily basis news.An increase in detected earthquakes does not mean an  increase in earthquake per se. Population increase,habitation spread,and advances earthquake detection technology all contribute to higher earthquake numbers recorded over time. According to long term records since 1990,we expect about 16 major earthquakes in any given year. In past 44 years there was only 11   times major earthquakes found. The year 2010 had largest earthquake record  with 24 earthquakes more than or equal to 7.0 magnitude. Other years it was 16 per year.

Earthquake may cause additional damage and hampering recovery if continuous. Since 2015 over 10,000 people died due to earthquakes and tsunamis.

Little was understood about earthquakes until emergence  of seismology at the begining of 20th century.seismology  which involves the study of all aspects of  earthquakes,has yielded answers to such long standing questions as  why and  how earth quake occurs.

An Earthquake is a perceptible shaking of the surface of  the Earth,resulting from sudden release of energy in the earth’s crust that creates seismic waves.

 Major Earthquake mainly occurs in belts coinciding with the margins of tectonic plates. The most important Earthquake belt is the Circum -pacific belt, which mainly affects coastal religion of pacific ocean – those of New zealand ,New Guinea,Japan,The Aleutian Islands,Alaska, the western coast of North and South America.80% energy released in earthquake come from this. It is known as  pacific ring of  fire as associated with volcanic activity. The 2nd is alpide Belt passes through mediterranean region eastwards from Asia and join circum -pacific belt in the East Indies. 15% energy released here .

FORMS
The energy released by elastic strain,gravity,chemical reaction or even the motion of massive bodies. All of these elastic strain  is the most important cause as this energy is only that is stored in sufficient quantity in the earth to produce major disturbances known as tectonic earthquakes.
 Some earthquakes are associated with volcanic activity.circum -pacific Belt are example.
Man made earthquakes due to poor planning in infrastructural activities like fracking for oil,dambuliding etc.
Another reason can be cooling of earth detected by scientists. It cause contraction of the earth’s crust which also volcanic disturbance causing.





Particularly In Indian perspective in 2017 suspected ,Indian tectonic plate is slowly going underneath Eurasian plate per year. May be due to this energy accumulation in this region there is greater magnitude Earthquake.


Corporatization




Newspaper which was mainly the source of information and communication even at the beginning of 20th century has now become a big and profitable industry. From a vehicle of social change, it has become a machinery to make profit and holding a firm and highly protected position in the business world. In a business organisation, when a person invests money and also must get a larger return. Therefore, a newspaper when it borrows money from the market or from any financial institution must plan for a surplus return. Thus a newspaper organisation has a commercial outlook to make his business a profitable one. 

Newspapers being a socio-economic system has a duty to look after the welfare of public. The newspaper manager should look after the public as well as the technical side of the paper making. Every person in this society has a right to right to know the facts about the surrounding, the country and the world too. The right to get information correctly makes a man read a newspaper where fairness, objectivity, accuracy and comprehensiveness of news are expected from the publication. 

The same expectation is applicable to other news media also. The credibility of media establishes a rapport between the publisher and the consumer. Besides disseminating news and information, the views and editorials of a newspaper helps to form a public opinion, henceforth taking part in social information directly or indirectly.

Bullet Train is required in India or not

What is Bullet Train?


The shinkansen high speed trains are colloquially called as  bullet train  for their apperance and speed. It is generally used  to describe a high-speed train of speeds above 250kmph.  Its key characteristics is its key exclusive grade seperated tracks which  enables high capacity utilization to be achieved  while maintaining  high service reliability and high safety performance.
India project

The first india bullet train will run in the Mumbai and Ahmedabad high speed rail corridor,whose construction began in 2017. The train will run at speed of 320 kmph and is expected to be completed by 2022.It is 750-seat train.The entire corridor estimated cost is Rs1,08,000 crore .Japan has offered a loan to India. There will be 12 stations on route ,majority of route will be elevated. A part of it will run through a 7 km long undersea tunnel. It will usher a new era of development.

Why Need of this service?                                    Bullet train project is expected to create 4000 direct job opportunities,along with 20000 indirect job and 20000  construction workers will also be employed.                                                                         set up of stations will come up as will attract urban growth..In the backdrop of increasing concerns over environmental pollution and degradation of fossil   fuels ,energy efficient  and environment friendly. IT emit Eighth and fifth of carbon dioxide as against automobiles and aeroplanes per passenger km.India is vast country,it requires to travel faster.while air transport can cater to such needs but simply cannot match that of railways. It is important to adopt proven  state of the art technologies.It will save time and boast business.

Seems redundant ?
 
The Mumbai -Ahmedabad train costs around one lakh crore Indian rupees. It may further get increased due to delays and further inflation.
The fare may range from 4000  to 5000 rs to make the running of trains economically variable. Such may be afforded by rich who would rather prefer air tickets. Travel by train in India is mostly done by poor class.
The complexities of the project will give rise to land acquisition ,rehabilitation and environmental concerns. It will give rise to poverty.
Facts
 The indian  Railways is in worrying state. There is first need to strengthening the present infrastructure of the railways.
The recent increase in rail accident strengthen this case.
The committee also recommended  a complete shift to LHB coaches to minimize the loss of lives due to derailment.
