How to become a philanthropist

Being a philanthropist, or someone who offers their time, money, or reputation to philanthropic causes, maybe a highly fulfilling experience.

Philanthropy is not solely the domain of the wealthy. The literal definition is ‘humanity’s love.’ It is simply the desire to make a difference in the lives of others, and it is something that anyone of us can do.

You could believe that improving the world through humanitarian actions necessitates writing multimillion-dollar checks. But the reality is that anyone may become a philanthropist, according to philanthropist Amit Soni from Indore.

There are many ways to make a lasting impact on the planet, a community, or a single person, regardless of your income level. Through this article, Amit Soni from Indore, organizing philanthropic events and activities, wants to share five ways to become a philanthropist and make a difference. After reading this, we hope you’ll be motivated to consider generosity from a new perspective.

Philanthropy is practiced by many organizations, particularly those in the non-profit sector. Working as a philanthropist can take many forms, including more than just providing money. Understanding the various options available to philanthropists will help you navigate your charity giving more efficiently.

1. Share Your Expertise

Your skills and expertise are equally as significant as money when it comes to charity. If you’re an excellent cook, you can always volunteer to assist in the kitchen of a soup kitchen. Alternatively, if you’re talented in the arts, you may put on an exhibition and donate the revenues to charity.

Sharing your expertise not only helps others in their professional endeavors, but it also helps you. There are a lot of young professionals asking for help. Take a rookie under your wing if you find someone who has potential but needs help. Share the lessons you’ve learned the hard way throughout the years.

2. Become a volunteer

Volunteering is an excellent way to apply your expertise and talents to a cause that you care about. There is a volunteer opportunity for everyone, from community gardening to coaching a youth basketball team to helping abroad. Look for volunteer opportunities. You can look for volunteer opportunities online or keep an eye out for posters and signs in your neighborhood asking for assistance.

Also, you can become active in a specific group for longer than a one-time event. Check if any organizations provide year-round volunteer programs where participants are trained and allocated work. Look for areas where volunteers are needed. There may be a location where volunteers are in short supply. Find out where an organization you care about needs extra help and offer your services.

3. Giving money

We’re all accustomed to making a one-time or recurring charitable donation, but if you’re planning to give a bigger sum, you might consider using a philanthropic structure to ensure your money is dispersed efficiently.

Here are some of the structures you might use on your own:

-Testamentary or Will Trust: A trust established after a benefactor’s death to fund a specific charitable cause.

-A private charity trust has been established by a donor and is required to finance specific philanthropic causes.

-A gift fund is a foundation that collects donations for the sole purpose of funding a specific organization.

Instead of giving directly to an organization, you may fund an education grant or create a professional reward to help individuals.

4. Random Act of Kindness

Giving your best self to others without expecting anything in return is what a Random Act of Kindness is all about. It’s simply doing something nice for someone else without being asked or expecting anything in return. The best aspect of performing a random act of kindness is that it usually requires little time or money yet may make someone’s day. Here are some suggestions:

Place spare change in a parking meter for someone.
Send a Facebook message to someone complimenting them.
Pick up trash on the ground and put it in the garbage
Instead of drinking your morning coffee, purchase a cup for someone else.
Write a thank-you note to someone who inspires you.
Text a friend to share your gratitude for something they did for you
Be on time (don’t waste others’ time).

Here are some suggestions for people who decided to start their philanthropic journey and don’t know where to start. Becoming a philanthropist is not always about money. You have the option of donating your knowledge, time and service, voice and influence, and, of course, money. Making a plan for how you want to give is all it takes to become a philanthropist, says Amit Soni from Indore.

The Indian Islands

What is an Island?

An island is any area of land which is smaller than the smallest continent and is entirely surrounded by water.

The major islands groups of India are Andaman and Nicobar Archipelago (A chain of islands similar in origin) in Bay of Bengal and Lakshadweep islands in Arabian Sea.

How are The Andaman and Nicobar Islands formed?

Islands were formed due to collision between Indian Plate and Burma Minor Plate [part of Eurasian Plate][Similar to formation of Himalayas].

These Islands are southward extension of Arakan Yoma range [Myanmar][Arakan Yoma in itself is an extension of Purvanchal Hills].

It consists of two groups of islands at the southeastern edge of the Bay of Bengal. The peaks of a submerged mountain range. The Andaman Islands and their neighbors to the south, the Nicobar Islands form an arc stretching southward for some 620 miles (1,000 km) between Myanmar(Burma) and the island of Sumatra, Indonesia. The arc constitutes the boundary between the Bay of Bengal to the west and the Andaman Sea to the east. Port Blair, (on South Andaman Island) is the territorial capital.

The Andaman and Nicobar islands extend from 6° 45′ N to 13° 45′ N and from 92° 10′ E to 94° 15′ E for a distance of about 590 km.
The Andaman islands are divided into three main islands i.e. North, Middle and South.
Duncan passage separates Little Andaman from South Andaman.
The Great Andaman group of islands in the north is separated by the Ten Degree Channel from the Nicobar group in the south.
Port Blair, the capital of Andaman Nicobar Islands lies in the South Andaman.
Among the Nicobar islands, the Great Nicobar is the largest. It is the southernmost island and is very close to Sumatra island of Indonesia. The Car Nicobar is the northernmost.
Most of these islands are made of tertiary sandstone, limestone and shale resting on basic and ultrabasic volcanoes [Similar to Himalayas].
THE BARREN AND NARCONDAM ISLANDS, north of Port Blair, are volcanic islands [these are the only active volcanoes in India][There are no active volcanoes in main land India].
Some of the islands are fringed with coral reefs. Many of them are covered with thick forests. Most of the islands are mountainous.
Saddle peak (737 m) in North Andaman is the highest peak.

Climatic conditions

Andaman and Nicobar Islands climate is a warm tropical climate, with the presence of irregular rainfall during the south-west monsoon. Sea breezes are also common in the tropical climate of Andaman and Nicobar.

The climate in Andaman and Nicobar Islands is characterized with a minimum of 23° C temperature; the maximum temperature in the Andaman and Nicobar climate is 31° C. Thus, it can be said that the climate of Andaman and Nicobar Islands is moderate: the temperature is neither too hot nor too cold in the Island.

Another typical feature of Andaman and Nicobar climate is humidity. Andaman and Nicobar Islands is located in the Bay of Bengal; therefore, it goes without mention that the humidity in Andaman and Nicobar is relatively higher. The relative humidity in Andaman and Nicobar Islands is 70 to 90%

Moreover, there is no extreme in the climate at Andaman and Nicobar Islands, except the rains and storms. Andaman and Nicobar Islands experience monsoon season in two phases: May to mid September and November to mid December. From November to December, Andaman and Nicobar group of islands witnesses north-easterly gale; and from May to October, the climate experiences south-westerly gale: it is only between January to April that Andaman and Nicobar Islands experiences calm weather.

JAMES WEBB SPACE TELESCOPE (JWST)

The European Ariane 5 rocket launched NASA’s James Webb Space Telescope (JWST), the biggest and most powerful space telescope yet constructed, from French Guiana, on the northeast coast of South America.

It is the successor of the Hubble Telescope and most powerful infrared telescope of National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA).

It is designed to explore a period known as the Epoch of Reionization, which came after the dark ages that followed the big bang. The telescope will study the atmospheres of a wide diversity of exoplanets. It will also search for atmospheres like Earth’s, and for the signatures of key substances such as methane, water, oxygen, carbon dioxide, and complex organic molecules, in hopes of finding the building blocks of life.

Goals

Search for the first galaxies that formed after the Big Bang.
Determine how galaxies evolved from their earlier formation until now.
Observe the formation of stars from the first stages to the formation of planetary systems.
Measure the physical and chemical properties of planetary systems and investigate the potential for life in such systems

ORBIT

JWST will be finally placed in second Lagrange Point (L2).
Webb’s orbit follows a special path around L2 that allows it to stay on Earth’s night side (directly ‘behind’ the Earth as viewed from the Sun) and track along with Earth while moving around the Sun.
As an infrared observatory, Webb must be protected from all bright, hot sources to see the faint heat signals of distant objects in the universe. Because Webb will always stay on Earth’s night side as it moves around the Sun, its orbit ensures that one side of its sunshield will continuously face the Sun, Earth and Moon to block their view from the telescope’s optics.

Features that make it special

While looking away from the Sun, JWST features one huge mirror with a diameter of 21 feet (the height of a standard two-story structure) that will collect infrared light flowing in from the deep space.
It will be protected by a five-layer, tennis court-sized, kite-shaped sunscreen that will block the sun’s heat and maintain the exceptionally cold temperatures that the sensors are meant to work at.
Temperatures on the sun-facing side may reach 110°C, while the temperature on the opposite side is kept at –200° to –230°C.
To detect the exceedingly weak heat signals from faraway galaxies, extremely low temperatures are required.
The mirror, as well as the sunscreen, are much too huge to fit inside any rocket. They were designed to be collapsible and would be unfolded in space.

India’s Start up Ecosystem

Recently, the number of unicorns in India reached the 100-mark. One unicorn means a startup of at least Rs 7,500 crore turnover. The total valuation of these unicorns is USD 330 billion, that is over Rs 25 lakh crore. The average annual growth rate of Indian unicorns is more than that of the U.S., the U.K. and many other countries.

A unicorn is any privately owned firm with a market capitalization of more than USD 1 billion.
It denotes new entities dedicated to offering creative solutions and new business models, among other things.
There are several categories like fintech, Edtechs, B2B (Business-to-Business) companies, etc.

India has become the 3^rd largest start-up ecosystem in the world after the US and China. 44 Indian start-ups have achieved unicorn status in 2021 taking the overall tally of unicorns to 83, most of which are in the services sector. India has seen such rapid growth in unicorns due to several strategic as well as conditional reasons.

Government of India is understanding the value of working with disruptive innovators across the value chain and using their innovations to improve public service delivery. The pandemic accelerated the adoption of digital services by consumers helping start-ups and new-age ventures build tech-focused businesses for customers. Many Indians moved to online services exploring a host of services ranging from food delivery and Edu-tech to e-grocery. he growth of Digital Payments is another aspect that aided the unicorn the most.

Challenges:

Increasing Investments Do Not Ensure Success of a Startup: Amid the Covid-19 crisis, when the central banks have released a global glut of liquidity, money is no more a difficult task to raise.

The billions of dollars being invested in startups represent the large bets on distant outcomes, and not value generation by way of revenues. Plus, one cannot assume the high rate of survival of these startups with such investments, as it can be assured by profits.

India, still a Marginal Player in the Space Sector: While India’s startups in the fintech and e-commerce sector are doing exceptionally well, the space startup sector remains an outlier.

This is despite the fact that India is a leading space-faring country with end-to-end capabilities to make satellites, develop augmented launch vehicles and deploy interplanetary missions.

The reason for the lack of independent private participation in space includes the absence of a framework to provide transparency and clarity in laws.

Indian Investors Unwilling to Take Risks: The big investors in India’s startup sector are from overseas, Japan’s SoftBank, China’s Alibaba, and Sequoia from the US.

That’s because India does not have a serious venture capital industry with an appetite for risk. The country’s established conglomerates have mostly stuck to traditional businesses.

Telangana formation day.

This day i.e., June 04 every year since 2014 is celebrated as Telangana day or Telangana Formation day.

Why this day?

This day commemorates the formation of the state of Telangana. On this day, the people of Telangana get a state public holiday.

Before, The present day Telangana used to be a part of Andhra Pradesh. The state of Telangana was officially established on 2 June 2014 from the state of Andhra Pradesh.

Background of the Formation of Telangana

There had been several movements to revoke the merger of Telangana and Andhra, major ones occurring in 1969, 1972 and 2009. The movement for a new state of Telangana gained momentum in the 21st century by an initiative of the Telangana Political Joint Action Committee (TJAC) including political leadership representing the Telangana area. On 9 December 2009, the government of India announced the process of formation of the Telangana state. Violent protests led by people in the Coastal Andhra and Rayalaseema regions occurred immediately after the announcement, and the decision was put on hold on 23 December 2009.

The movement continued in Hyderabad and other districts of Telangana. There have been hundreds of claimed suicides, strikes, protests and disturbances to public life demanding separate statehood.

In 1997, the BJP supported the formation of a separate state. In 2001, K Chandrasekhara Rao formed the Telangana Rashtra Samithi (TRS) to revive the movement.
In the various elections held in the state of Andhra Pradesh, the people voted for TRS and gave a public impetus to the movement.
In 2009, there was a huge boost to the movement when Rao went on a hunger strike for a separate Telangana, reminding people of the hunger strike and ultimately death of Potti Sreeramulu (Born on March, 1901) who agitated for the state of Andhra.
Many young people also committed suicide for the movement.
In 2010, the Sri krishna Committee was appointed to “bring about a permanent solution” to this issue. The committee stated in its report that efforts must be made to bring about equitable development to the three regions of the state of Andhra Pradesh, and it recommended a united Andhra Pradesh.
However, owing to pressure, the Union cabinet approved a bill for the bifurcation of the state.
The Andhra Pradesh Re-organization Bill was passed in 2014. Hyderabad was suggested as a common capital. It will remain so for not more than ten years after which it will be the capital of Telangana alone, and Andhra Pradesh would get a new capital.
The new state of Telangana was formed on 2^nd June 2014.

Significance

Because of the long-running Telangana movement, the day is noteworthy in the state’s history. Telangana was approximately 50 years in the making until it was finally recognised as a separate state. This day, June 2, commemorates the Telangana movement’s achievement in forcing Andhra Pradesh’s bifurcation. This not only gave the people of the region a distinct identity but also changed India’s map.

World Milk Day

June 1 is observed as World Milk Day every year. World Milk Day is a day established by the Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO) of the United Nations in 2001 to recognize the importance of milk as a global food.

The day is intended to provide an opportunity to bring attention to activities that are connected with the dairy sector. This year’s theme will highlight the work already being done to accelerate climate action and help reduce the dairy sector’s impact on the planet.

Using the World Milk Day platform, awareness of the messaging and action will be raised towards Dairy Net Zero.

Indian Dairy Sector:

India is the world’s largest milk producer, with 22% of global production, followed by the United States of America, China, Pakistan and Brazil.
Milk production in the country has grown at a compound annual growth rate of about 6.2% to reach 209.96 mn tonnes in 2020-21 from 146.31 mn tonnes in 2014

Bharat Drone Mahotsav 2022

Recently, India’s biggest Drone Festival – Bharat Drone Mahotsav 2022 was inaugurated in New Delhi by the Prime Minister. A virtual award of drone pilot certificates, panel discussions, product launches, display of a ‘Made in India’ Drone Taxi prototype, flying demonstrations, among others were the key events.

Drone is a layman terminology for Unmanned Aircraft (UA). Originally developed for the military and aerospace industries, drones have found their way into the mainstream because of the enhanced levels of safety and efficiency they bring.

Applications of Drone Technology?

Agriculture: In the agriculture sector, micronutrients can be spread with the help of drones. It can also be used for performing surveys for identifying the challenges faced by the farmers.

Defence: Drone system can be used as a symmetric weapon against terrorist attacks. Drones can be integrated into the national airspace system.Deployment of drones for combat, communication in remote areas, counter-drone solutions can be done.

Law Enforcement: Drones are also significant for the law enforcement agencies, the fire and emergency services wherever human intervention is not safe and the healthcare services.

Healthcare Delivery Purposes: Indian Council of Medical Research (ICMR) devised Drone-Based Vaccine Delivery Model, i-drone. Telangana and North-east states have been approved to use this drone technology for delivering vaccines in remote areas.

Significance of Drone Mahotsav?

As drone technology has its application in diverse areas such as defence, disaster management, agriculture, healthcare, tourism, film and entertainment, there is a great possibility of a major revolution creating immense opportunities for employment. Villages are witnessing the arrival of roads, electricity, optical fibre and digital technology. However, agriculture work is still being conducted in old ways, leading to hassles, low productivity and wastage. Drone technology is going to play a major role in empowering farmers and modernize their lives.

Government is making efforts towards creating a strong drone manufacturing ecosystem in India through schemes like Production-Linked Incentive (PLI).

How to Add a Background Image using the Blogger Template Designer

If you have a background image that you want to upload, then follow these steps:

1. Log into your Blogger account and go to “Template”, press the “Customize” button on the right side. Once the Blogger template designer has opened, you’ll see the Background option on the left – click on it:

2. Now click on the box below the Background image title and it will open a window from where we can select a default background image. On the upper left side of this window, click Upload Image and select the image you would like to use from a location on your computer.

Note that you should use a JPG, GIF, or PNG image that is no more than 300k in size. If your image is too large, then you can use the Kraken.io image optimizer to make the image file smaller.

3. After you’ve uploaded your image, click ‘Done’ and you’ll be taken back to the background menu. Here you will see additional options like: “Alignment”, “Tile” and “Scroll with page”:

Alignment: change the position of the background image to start either horizontal (left, center, right) or vertical (top and bottom);
Tile (Repeat): if you want a small background image to fill the page, choose to repeat (tile) horizontally and/or vertically.
Scroll with page: the box is checked by default, this means that the background scroll along with the page contents. If you want the background picture to not move as the page is scrolled and stay exactly where it is, uncheck this box.

4. For a background image with plain color in the middle for content, you might want to remove the main and header background. Navigate to “Advanced” > “Backgrounds” and type the word “transparent” inside the “Main Background” and “Header Background” box:

5. If the background is smaller than the content area, we can fix this using CSS. Scroll down and click on the Add CSS option, then paste this CSS code inside the box:

body {
background-size: 200%;
}

.body-fauxcolumn-outer .cap-top {
background: none;
}

Note: to change the size of the background, modify the 200% value in red.

Once you’re happy with the results, press the ‘Apply to blog’ button and enjoy the new background for your site.

How to Change Background in a Custom Blogger Template

Sometimes the above options might not appear in some custom Blogger templates if the body.background variable hasn’t been defined. In this case, we will need to access the HTML of the template:

1. Go to “Template” and click the “Edit HTML” button, then click anywhere inside the code area. Press the CTRL + F keys to open the Blogger search box:

2. Paste or type the following tag inside the search box and hit Enter to find it:

]]>

3. Immediately before the ]]> tag, paste one of the following code snippets:

For a large background image:

body {
background-image: url(IMAGE-URL.png) !important;
background-repeat: no-repeat;
background-position: center top;
background-attachment: fixed;
background-size: 100%;
}

Note: the no-repeat value prevents the image from repeating either vertically or horizontally. Use background-repeat: repeat-y if you’d like the image to repeat vertically, or background-repeat: repeat-x if you want it to repeat only horizontally. To increase the size of the background, change the 100% value.

If using a repeating pattern, add this CSS code instead:

body {
background-image: url(IMAGE-URL.png) !important;
background-repeat: repeat;
background-position: center top;
background-attachment: fixed;
}

4. Open a new tab and upload your background image to Blogger or an image hosting site, and copy the URL of your hosted image to your clipboard. If you don’t know how to do it, please take a look at this tutorial.

After you copied it, replace the text highlighted in blue from above with your image url.
