National Farmers Day

Kisan Diwas, or National Farmers Day, is held on December 23 across the country to honour farmers, who are the backbone of India. The day was picked to honour Choudhary Charan Singh, India’s fifth prime minister, on the occasion of his birth anniversary.

Every year, National Farmers Day is observed, particularly in farming-intensive regions such as Uttar Pradesh, Punjab, Haryana, and Madhya Pradesh.

 

Farmers are the foundation of society. They are the ones that work around the clock and throughout the year to ensure that people do not go hungry, yet they themselves struggle to eat two square meals a day. Every year, Farmers Day is observed to support, honour, and promote public awareness of the contributions that farmers provide to society.


National Farmers’ Day: Significance

 

India is a rural country with agricultural surpluses. Farmers and agricultural workers make up the vast majority of the country’s rural population. A large proportion of the country’s soldiers are from farming backgrounds.

Kisan Diwas is celebrated every year to honour farmers’ passion and sacrifice. That we must also pay attention to them and ensure their social and economic well-being. The day also aims to provide farmers with the latest recent agricultural information.

National Farmers Day 2020: History

 

Between July 28, 1979, to January 14, 1980, Chaudhary Charan Singh, the Kisan Leader, governed the nation for a brief period of time. He established multiple welfare schemes for farmers and produced several books about farmers and their difficulties, illustrating several solutions to better the life of the nation’s farmers. As a result, the government declared Charan Singh’s birth day as Kisan Diwas in 2001.

Chaudhary Charan Singh used the renowned motto “JAI JAWAN JAI KISAN” that Lal Bahadur Shastri, India’s second Prime Minister, gave to farmers.

 

 

Choudhary Charan Singh was born on December 23, 1902, to a middle-class peasant family in Noorpur village, Meerut district, Uttar Pradesh. He served as Prime Minister of India from 1979 to 1980, during which time he was instrumental in the execution of various farmer-friendly land reform programmes.

During his brief stint as Prime Minister, Chaudhary Charan Singh worked relentlessly for the welfare of farmers. He set up a variety of aid programmes for them. Singh has had a special heart for the oppressed since his days as a liberation warrior.

In 1939, Charan Singh proposed the Debt Redemption Bill to safeguard farmers from moneylenders and their misdeeds. From 1962 to 1963, he was Minister of Agriculture and Forests in Sucheta Kripalani’s Ministry.

The then-government designated Charan Singh’s birth day as Kisan Diwas in 2001.

Singh spent the majority of his free time reading and writing since he believed in living a simple life. Throughout his life, Singh wrote a number of books and pamphlets. Co-operative Farming X-rayed, India’s Poverty and its Solution, and Abolition of Zamindari are among his most well-known publications.


Apple iPhone will get the largest manufacturing unit in India

iPhones have been able to grab eyeballs everywhere. They have the best hardware for all users. For convenience, various form factors are available for the users. Every year, new iPhones give users something new to experience.

But pandemic has been able to affect the overall manufacturing of the iPhones worldwide. It has been mainly due to the disruption at the China plant. China has the largest iPhone manufacturing plant. It was due to the lockdown due to the COVID pandemic. The plant is the Zhengzhou plant.

On the positive side, India has started to gain due to this loss. Now, there is positive information that Hosur near Bangalore, will get the largest iPhone plant in the country. Now, iPhones will be manufactured at the new plant where approximately, 60000 people will get to work with new iPhones. Among these 60000 workers, 6000 are tribal women from the areas of Ranchi and Hazaribagh. These women have been trained to manufacture the latest iPhones. The new plant is under the control of Tata Electronics. Other than this, Apple also has other manufacturers in the country namely Foxconn, Wistron and Pegatron.

To reduce the stress on the parts supplier, Apple has given a contract to LG as a new display supplier. This will ensure that Samsung will have less burden in terms of display supply during and after the pandemic period.

This new change has some major effects on the overall supply of the latest iPhones. The new devices will not face supply chain disruptions anymore. It will also ensure that India will be one of the major suppliers or exporters of iPhones to other markets.

But there have also been rumours that iPhones can get a price cut in India. But this is not true. As there will be no reduction in the prices of the iPhones in India. But there will be some relief to the availability of parts in our country. If the need arises, then there can also be a great market for refurbished iPhones. It will help in increasing the number of iPhone users in our country.

iPhones are also facing a little bit of a slowdown in terms of sales. This can be due to the weak financial conditions of several sections of society. So now, this kind of effect has also been seen in companies like Samsung. Samsung is currently planning to reduce the production of mobile phones by 30 million. The reduction of production will also enable the unnecessary stacking up of inventory in various warehouses.

All the above points depict that iPhones will have a great future. India will also play an important part in making a more user-friendly iPhone. The device will be more easily accessible to general users. Maybe there can also be a reduction in the prices of the iPhones. The newer models will also get the opportunity to be assembled or manufactured in countries like India. It will also help in increasing employment in the manufacturing field. The number of skilled people will also increase in terms of electronic manufacturing in our country.

NATIONAL MATHEMATICS DAY

On December 22, India’s eminent mathematician Srinivasa Ramanujan celebrates his birth anniversary. Mathematicians consider Ramanujan’s intellect to be on par with that of Euler and Jacobi in the 18th and 19th centuries. His work in number theory is well appreciated, and he produced significant breakthroughs in the partition function. Since 2012, India has celebrated National Mathematics Day on December 22nd each year, with several educational events held in schools and universities around the country. The inauguration of the Ramanujan Math Park in Kuppam, Chittoor, Andhra Pradesh, in 2017 added to the day’s prominence. Mathematics enthusiasts like Sri Ramanujan may be found all throughout the world, and some even help others improve their knowledge of the subject.

HISTORY OF MATHEMATICS DAY

Srinivasa Ramanujan is the outstanding mathematician who inspired the creation of Mathematics Day in India, and whose works influenced many people throughout the country and around the world. Ramanujan was born in Erode, Tamil Nadu, in 1887 to an Iyengar Brahmin family. Despite his lack of formal schooling, he excelled at trigonometry at the age of 12 and discovered several theorems for himself.

Ramanujan became qualified for a scholarship to study at the Government Arts College, Kumbakonam, after finishing secondary school in 1904, but he was denied since he did not excel in other courses. Ramanujan ran away from home at the age of 14 and joined at Pachaiyappa’s College in Madras, where he also excelled in mathematics but struggled in other courses and was unable to graduate with a Fellow of Arts degree. Ramanujan conducted independent research in mathematics despite living in severe poverty.

The aspiring mathematician was soon discovered in Chennai’s mathematics circles. Ramaswamy Iyer, the founder of the Indian Mathematical Society, assisted him in obtaining a clerk position at the Madras Port Trust in 1912. Ramanujan subsequently began sending his work to British mathematicians, and in 1913, Cambridge-based GH Hardy invited him to London after being impressed by Ramanujan’s theorems.

Ramanujan arrived in Britain in 1914, where Hardy enrolled him at Trinity College, Cambridge. Ramanujan was well on his way to success after being elected to the London Mathematical Society in 1917, and he also became a Fellow of the Royal Society in 1918, making him one of the youngest to attain the prestigious post.

Ramanujan returned to India in 1919 because he couldn’t adjust to the British cuisine. His condition deteriorated further, and he died in 1920 at the age of 32. His talents in mathematics, however, are still highly appreciated around the world. Ramanujan left behind three notebooks with unpublished results that mathematicians continued to work on for years. So much so that in 2012, former Indian Prime Minister Manmohan Singh announced December 22 — Ramanujan’s birthday — as National Mathematics Day, to be observed throughout the country.

Ramanujan number – 1729

The Ramanujan Number is another name for 1729. When Ramanujan, the brilliant Indian mathematician, was in England, he became very unwell. Prof. Hardy contacted Ramanujan in the hospital and told him that 1729 sounded like a boring number and that he hoped it didn’t turn out to be an unfavourable omen. However, Ramanujan stated that 1729 is a highly fascinating number since it is the smallest number that can be represented in the form of the sum of cubes of two numbers in two ways, i.e. 1729=1³+12³=9³+10³. Since then, the number 1729 has been dubbed Ramanujan’s number.


NATIONAL ENERGY CONSERVATION DAY

Every year on December 14, India honors National Energy Conservation Day. The day is conducted by the Bureau of Energy Efficiency (BEE), which is part of the Ministry of Power, with the goal of highlighting India’s outstanding achievements in cost-effective energy production and resource conservation.

INTERNATIONAL ANIMAL RIGHTS DAY

Every year on December 10, International Animal Rights Day, we honor the rights of our four-legged friends. The event is celebrated alongside Human Rights Day, as it should be, because animals have the right to be treated with respect, and brutality against them must end just as much as it does against humans.

HISTORY OF INTERNATIONAL ANIMAL RIGHTS DAY

Man has been killing and mistreating animals for selfish gain for hundreds of years. The rationale that it is done out of need has been pushed, whether it is in the exploitation of meat or animal fur for fashion and art.

On December 10, 1948, the United Nations adopted the Universal Declaration of Human Rights in response to Nazi Germany’s torturing of people in concentration camps during World War II. Following this, groups, clubs, and individuals from all over the world began asking that this proclamation be extended to the animal realm and that December 10 be designated as a day to advocate for animal rights. The term “speciesism” was coined in 1970, 22 years after the United Nations passed its historic proclamation, to explore and stimulate dialogue on the discrimination against sentient beings based on their species.

The notion that animals are inferior and exist solely to meet the needs and desires of people is an illogical prejudice towards them. Animals suffer just as much, if not more than some sectors of the human race as a result of sexism and racism because they cannot protect themselves.

Even though this word was coined, it wasn’t until 1998 that an official statement on animal rights was issued. Uncaged, an animal advocacy organization, established International Animal Rights Day to bring attention to all forms of animal violence. Because animals cannot protest, vote, or campaign for their protection, the founders of this day argued that it is the responsibility of people to do so for them. The date of December 10 was purposefully chosen so that International Animal Rights Day coincides with Human Rights Day. Since then, events, demonstrations, and fundraisers have been conducted around the world to expose the realities of animal abuse and exploitation, which have often been reported by traditional media.

SIGNIFICANCE OF ANIMAL RIGHTS DAY 

Most people recognize that animals may experience pain. Many people believe that animals can experience and perceive emotions. For these reasons, it is critical to recognize that animals, like humans, have rights. Activists think that humans should do all possible to protect animal rights, including:


1) Instead of thinking of animals as human property, consider their companion animals rather than pets.

2) Avoid all animal products, including meat, leather, milk, wool, and silk.

3) Stop using animals in experiments.

4) Stop utilizing animals for entertainment and sporting events like rodeo, greyhound racing, and horseracing, employing them in movies and circuses, and displaying marine animals.

5) Humans should not hunt, fish, or wear fur, according to animal rights campaigners.

HOW TO OBSERVE ANIMAL RIGHTS DAY 

This day is marked by candlelight vigils held by animal lovers all across the world. This is to highlight the Universal Declaration of Animal Rights. According to this declaration, animal rights are a logical continuation of basic human rights. PETA (People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals) encourages people to observe this day by not eating animals. They also promote the adoption of a vegan lifestyle. According to PETA, this will save 100 animals every year. 

World Human Rights Day

World Human Rights Day encourages everyone to speak up and take action to stop all forms of prejudice, whenever and wherever it occurs. In a nutshell, this is the meaning of World Human Rights Day.

World Human Rights Day 2022, like all other World Human Rights Days, is a day to honour people who have campaigned for and protected human rights. It is also a day to think about the future and figure out what needs to be done to make society more equitable for all.


The United Nations has even established a reward, the United Nations Prize in the Field of Human Rights, which is awarded on World Human Rights Day to courageous persons who have done much to promote World Human Rights Day. There have been ten awards since the award’s inception in 1968, with numerous prize recipients.

On World Human Rights Day in 2022, many people should be honoured. UN Prize Winners, of course, as well as more famous personalities such as Nelson Mandela, but more importantly, common people and organisations who fight for Human Rights on a daily basis. Who, arguably, are the most important persons in the world.

What are Human Rights?

Human rights are rights that apply to everyone. This means that everyone, no matter who they are, should be treated equally and respectfully. People should not be discriminated against because of their gender, race, skin colour, sexual orientation, religion, or country of origin.

Why do we celebrate Human Rights Day? 

Human Rights Day commemorates the day in 1948 when the United Nations (UN) formally adopted the Universal Declaration of Human Rights. The United Nations was founded immediately after World War II to preserve the rights and freedoms of people throughout the world, and it still does so today.

The Declaration of Human Rights was written to serve as a “common standard of success for all peoples and states.” This document has been translated into over 500 languages and is the world’s most downloaded document

Eleanor Roosevelt, a former First Lady of the United States, was a key figure in the development of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights. She chaired the Commission on Human Rights and was later given the United Nations Human Rights Prize.

Human Rights Day 2022 Theme 

Human Rights Day has a different theme each year. Previous themes have included Equality (2021), Recover Better (2020), and Youth Standing Up for Human Rights (2019), among others.

The 75th Anniversary of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights will be the theme of Human Rights Day 2022.

When is World Human Rights Day 2022? 

Every year on December 10th, the world observes World Human Rights Day. On the same day in 1948, the United Nations enacted the Universal Declaration of Human Rights. This anniversary happens on a Friday in 2022. How will you commemorate World Human Rights Day in 2022?

India is moving towards a faster decade

With the introduction of 5G in Hyderabad and Bangalore, India has been able to get into the era of 5G. It is going to be a major change in the technological advancement in India. 

On the network front, the trials are still going on for 5G in some other parts of our country. There will be an introduction of 5G in the rest of the country also. The introduction will happen very soon. The telcos are currently busy giving the final ok to the network performance for a better experience for the public. 

Among all this, companies like BSNL have not been able to launch even 4G in our country. As the latest development, the contract has been given to TCS for the installation of the towers and the technology which will be taking care of the entire system. It will be the biggest order for a home-grown technical implementation in India. 

Now, the next phase for BSNL will be to launch the 5G services along with 4G as soon as possible. For that, the work is going on. It is expected that BSNL will launch 4G by December or January and 5G will be rolled out by August next year.

On the private telcos front, Jio is the one which has launched 5G in Hyderabad and Bangalore. Airtel is also working hard to launch the latest 5G network in the market. 

In the field of internet-related technology and especially equipment, there are some companies which are considered the world leader. The companies are Nokia, Ericsson and Huawei.

So, if India becomes successful in developing the technology for implementing such revolutions in a country like India. Then, India will be one of the few countries that have been able to implement indigenous built technology in the country.

For those, who are not in touch with such development, the private telcos are planning to launch the services in the metro cities at first. After that, the rest of the country will be able to experience it. 

In case of advantages, 5G has better speeds than 4G. The network also provides a greater number of devices to be connected. The new network will also provide better stability than the previous generations.

These new implementations will also likely increase job opportunities in the tech field.

The new launch will also initiate more locally made technologies in the future. In recent times, even Tata has been able to get the opportunity to make iPhones in India.

There is also an initiative which will allow some companies to manufacture chips in our country. It is necessary as there is a shortage of chips in India. All of these changes will surely improve the scenario of the tech world in India.  There will also be some challenges to the implementation that the companies will have to tackle. It will also reveal some underlying concerns regarding the networks and the possible issues that the beta users will generally face during the trials. All of these factors will slowly disappear. Now, we will see how the 5G changes the face of our country. 

WORLD AIDS DAY

World AIDS Day, first observed in 1988, is observed annually on December 1. World AIDS Day is dedicated to raising awareness of the AIDS pandemic and commemorating those who have died as a result of the disease. Since 1981, an estimated 40 million people have died from AIDS, and an estimated 37 million are living with HIV, making it one of the most serious global public health concerns in recorded history. Despite recent advances in therapy, the AIDS epidemic continues to claim an estimated two million lives each year, with more than 250,000 of them being children.

HISTORY OF WORLD AIDS DAY

World AIDS Day, first recognized on December 1, 1998, was the first time a worldwide health day was observed. The day provides an occasion for people all over the world to unite in the battle against HIV and stand in solidarity with those who are infected, as well as remember those who have died as a result of the disease.

The concept of World AIDS Day developed from a media void between the United States presidential elections in 1988 and Christmas. Broadcast journalist James Bunn, who had recently joined the World Health Organization, anticipated that after a year of political campaigns, the public would be drawn to AIDS coverage on television. Bunn and his colleague Thomas Netter determined that December 1 was the best date for the commemoration and spent the next 16 months preparing and executing the inaugural event.

HOW TO OBSERVE WORLD AIDS DAY


1) Wear a red ribbon

The most widely recognized way to show your support on World AIDS Day is to wear a red ribbon on your lapel. Red represents blood and the pain caused by the disease, rage over global inaction to combat the epidemic, a warning to take the disease seriously, and love, passion, and tolerance for those affected by the disease. Look for a ribbon supplier who supports a charitable cause online.


2) Donate to an AIDS charity

There are numerous national and worldwide nonprofit organizations dedicated to combating the disease and the challenges linked with its spread. Check online to see if you want to support an organization in the United States, where deaths have been declining since the mid-1990s but infection continues to affect thousands of people each year, or an organization focused on infection in Sub-Saharan Africa, where Adult HIV Prevalence has reached one in every twenty people and 1.2 million people die of HIV/AIDS each year.


3) Attend a candlelight vigil

On World AIDS Day, most large cities in the United States have candlelight vigils to remember those who have died from the disease and to pledge to battle it in the future. Look online for a vigil near you and go to express your support. Don’t forget to share your experience on social media to keep the notion at the forefront of your friends’ minds and to show your support.

 

WHY WORLD AIDS DAY IS IMPORTANT


1) AIDS impacts everyone


Some criticized World AIDS Day in its early years for focusing on children and young people, but organizers hoped to remove some of the stigma surrounding the disease as predominantly affecting homosexual men, increasing acknowledgment of it as a family disease. HIV/AIDS is the main cause of death among women of reproductive age worldwide, with women accounting for 43% of the 1.8 million new HIV infections in 2016.


2) Getting to zero

Since 2012, the World AIDS Day theme has been zero new HIV infections, zero deaths from AIDS-related illnesses, and zero discrimination. In 2016, new infections among young women aged 15 to 24 were 44% higher than among men in the same age group, implying that the high-profile AIDS-related deaths of male celebrities like Freddie Mercury, Robert Mapplethorpe, and Rock Hudson have continued to overshadow realities of new infection rates among women in the public imagination. The goal of World AIDS Day is to combat these stereotypes and safeguard everyone.


3) Equalizing access to treatment

According to research, stigma linked with sex work and LGBT communities is a growing factor in unequal access to good treatment around the world. International AIDS funding began to decline for the first time in 2015, while less than half of HIV/AIDS patients worldwide have access to anti-retroviral medication. It has never been more necessary to raise attention to treatment disparities in order to permanently halt its spread.

National Law Day

Every year on November 26, India celebrates Constitution Day, also known as Samvidhan Divas or National Law Day.

 

Why is the Constitution Day celebrated?

 

The Constituent Assembly of India formally adopted the Indian Constitution on November 26, 1949. It becomes effective on January 26, 1950. Constitution Day attempts to raise awareness about the Constitution and Dr. B R Ambedkar.

 

Who started the Constitution Day?

 

In 2015, Prime Minister Narendra Modi declared November 26 to be India’s Constitution Day.

What is the Constitution of India?

 

The Constitution of India is a set of written principles and precedents established by the Indian government. It establishes the essential political principles, methods, rights, directive principles, constraints, and duties of the government and its citizens. The Indian Constitution defines the country to be a sovereign, secular, socialist, and democratic republic. It guarantees equality, liberty, and justice to its citizens.

 

Who wrote the Constitution of India?

 

The chairman of the drafting committee, B R Ambedkar, is widely regarded as the principal architect of the Indian Constitution. He is also referred to as the “Father of the Indian Constitution.” Members of India’s Constituent Assembly drafted the country’s constitution.

 

What is the preamble to the Constitution of India?

 

The preamble is a brief statement that records the people of India’s goals and ambitions. The preamble of the Indian Constitution reads:

 

“We, the people of India, having solemnly resolved to constitute India into a sovereign, socialist, secular, democratic, republic, and to secure to all its citizens:

 

Justice, social, economic and political; liberty of thought, expression, belief, faith and worship; equality of status and of opportunity, and to promote among them all — fraternity assuring the dignity of the individual and the unity and integrity of the Nation;

 

In our Constituent Assembly this twenty-sixth day of November, 1949, do hereby adopt, enact and give to ourselves this constitution.”

 

How did the Constitution of India come into being?

 

From 1947 to 1950, India maintained the legislation in place when it was a British dominion. Meanwhile, the Constituent Assembly wrote the Indian Constitution, which would replace the Government of India Act of 1935 as the country’s main governing document. The Constitution was drafted using a variety of sources, with India’s needs and conditions taking precedence. Before writing the Indian Constitution, B R Ambedkar researched the constitutions of over 60 countries.

 

A brief timeline: 

 

The Constitution Assembly was established on December 6, 1949, and its first meeting was conducted on December 9, 1949. Rajendra Prasad was named President, and H C Mukherjee was named Vice-Chairman. On August 29, 1947, Ambedkar was designated head of the drafting committee, along with six other members: Munshi N Gopalaswami Ayyangar, Khaitan, Mitter, Muhammed Sadulla, and Alladi Krishnaswami Iyer. On January 24, 1950, members of the Constituent Assembly signed two handwritten versions of the document (one in Hindi and one in English). The Assembly enacted the Indian Constitution on November 26, 1949. The Constitution went into effect on January 26, 1950.

The constitution took nearly three years to write.

 

Things To Do Before Purchasing An EV

  Electric vehicles (EVs) have become an increasingly popular option for consumers. For starters, they’re better for the environment. However, other advantages like government incentives, tax credits, and reduced fuel costs make it an option many find hard to turn down. Although these are excellent advantages, there are things to consider before driving off the car lot. Continue reading to learn more.

Shop Around For Affordable Insurance

When purchasing an electric car, most consumers don’t realize that they’re more expensive to insure. That’s because the cost to repair or replace an electric vehicle is higher than a gas-fueled car. Insurance companies will have to shell out thousands of dollars if you get in an accident. Ultimately, they try to offset those costs by increasing premiums.

That doesn’t mean you can’t find affordable insurance for your EV; you’ll just have to do your homework. Start with the vehicle type. The make and model of your vehicle can make a significant difference in insurance costs. For instance, Teslas are the most expensive to insure, while a Honda CRV-FHEV is among the cheapest.

As with any auto insurance, do some comparison pricing and consider discounts like bundling, good student, safe driver, defensive driving, and low mileage to keep the costs reasonable.

Selecting And Installing An EV Charging Station

People who have EV charging stations in their homes can make sure their car is always ready to go when needed. Of course, you’ll want to select the correct charger for your vehicle. While most EVs come with options to plug straight into an outlet, the charge time is slow. However, level 2 stations (which charge faster and have many features like wi-fi access) may require professional installation.

Shop around for the most affordable and convenient EV charging station that’s compatible with your vehicle’s battery needs. If an installation is necessary, you’ll want to find a service provider that can safely add the unit to your home. It’s essential to include the cost of installation into your budget. You may also notice a spike in your utility bill, which is an ongoing expense you’ll need to cover.

Evaluate Repair Costs

Electric vehicles might be cheaper to maintain over their lifespan, but that doesn’t include repairs and replacements. As EVs are still relatively new to the auto industry, it often costs more to repair them. Not to mention, parts tend to be more expensive to replace. Before deciding which electric car is right for you, research common repairs and their expenses. Include your findings in your budget, so you don’t get caught off guard.

Find A Mechanic

When a fuel-powered vehicle breaks down, owners have multiple options of where they can go for service. The same isn’t true for EV owners. Believe it or not, most mechanics aren’t well-versed in repairing electric cars. It often requires that they get additional training and certification before working on EVs. Therefore, you want to choose your mechanic wisely.

If your vehicle is still under warranty, you could always take it to the manufacturer or dealership service station for adequate repairs. However, those without a warranty may find that these options are expensive. The next option would be to complete an online search to locate EV mechanics near you.

As you begin your search, look for mechanics specializing in repairing your vehicle’s make and model. Don’t be afraid to call and ask about their certifications and years of experience. The last thing you want is to send your car to an inexperienced technician as more problems could arise. You should also compare hourly rates to find the most affordable mechanic in your area. As gas prices soar and climate change wreaks havoc on the planet, electric cars are an efficient option for drivers who want to help the environment save money. With more automakers getting into the EV field, buyers have multiple choices that make it easier to find a suitable car for their lifestyles. To get the most out of your eco-friendly ride, ensure that you’ve considered the above advice.

Children’s day

Children’s Day is observed annually on November 14. Pandit Jawaharlal Nehru, India’s first prime minister, was born on this day in 1889. Given his love of children, he was given the nickname Chacha Nehru. Since his passing in 1964, his birthday has been recognized as Children’s Day.

History


The Children’s Day celebration was born as a result of Pandit Jawaharlal Nehru’s outstanding contributions to child development and education on the occasion of his birth anniversary. Thus, the 14th of November is set aside each year to honor the devoted “Chacha Nehru” of the younger generation. The youngsters of today will shape India of the future, he once said. The future of the nation will depend on how we raise them.

In India, it is a significant day. We have been commemorating this day on November 20, the day the United Nations designates as World Children’s Day, since 1956. But a resolution to recognize Jawaharlal Nehru’s birthday as Children’s Day was approved by the Indian Parliament after his passing in 1964. Since that time, Children’s Day has been observed on November 14 to honor his birthdate.

India observed Children’s Day for the first time on 14th November 1957, following a government order on public notice. Apart from Nehru’s birth anniversary, Children’s day is also commemorated to increase awareness towards children’s education, and rights and to guarantee good care is accessible to all. You now understand the significance of Children’s Day.

Let us take a short look at some of Pandit Jawahar Lal Nehru’s life:

About Pandit Jawahar Lal Nehru

  • On November 14, 1889, Jawaharlal Nehru, India’s first Prime Minister, was born to a family of Kashmiri Brahmans. He was the son of prominent lawyer and Indian independence movement leader Motilal Nehru.

  • He was a staunch supporter of children’s education, claiming that every child in India had the right to an education.

  • Children dubbed him “Chacha Nehru” because he firmly believed that children are India’s power.

  • He advocated that disadvantaged children have the right to a free and fair education for their full development. This emphasizes the significance of Jawaharlal Nehru Children’s Day.

  • He also created the famed Indian Institute of Technology (IIT), the All India Institute of Medical Sciences (AIIMS), and the Indian Institute of Management(IIM) as part of this project.

  • He became a leader of India’s independence struggle in 1947 under Gandhi’s leadership.

Children’s Day Celebration in India

Children’s Day is observed throughout India to commemorate Pandit Nehru’s birth anniversary. Many festivities, events, and programs are held by schools and other educational institutions to commemorate the day with enjoyable and motivating activities. Children are given gifts, toys, and sweets, and in certain schools, teachers perform for the children’s entertainment.

The commemoration of Children’s Day begins with stage remarks about Pandit Nehru. Children are dressed up in various themes, such as angels or Nehru. They put on stage presentations of dancing, singing, and even theatre.

Apart from commemorating Children’s Day in schools or universities, we may make a difference in the lives of poor children as citizens. We can demonstrate our gratitude by donating food, clothing, books, or anything else that brings a smile to their faces. Parties and celebrations occur all the time, but by providing even a small amount to their demands, we may make a significant difference.


Pixel 4 gets its last system update

Pixel devices are one of the popular devices that have been able to grab right from their launch. This year Google launched its Pixel 7 series of smartphones. 

There are various reasons that people prefer Pixel devices. There is the safety of regular software updates. The devices are always top-of-the-line. The device line-up consists of devices for different categories also. These are known for their pure Android experience and put forward, the latest and the best from Google every year. 

But there are times when these devices get less attention. This happens when they lose the software’s regular update support cycle. It happens after every approximately 3 or 4 years. Last month, Pixel 4 lost its regular update after getting the last monthly update for October 2022. So, it makes them old and time for some to upgrade their device.

For the unknown, Google launched the Pixel 7 series this year. It will also be offered this year on the Black Friday sale. The special offer will be available on the official website of the company. Special offers will include a special price for the entire new line-up.

During the offer, the price of the Pixel 7 will be $499, and for the Pixel 7 Pro, it will be $749. But the device which will be the cheapest is the Pixel 6a at $299. Along with these, there will also be offers for the Pixel Buds.

So, now you can get the devices at a cheaper rate and even get the latest from Google. But on the bright side, you will be able to get more security for your data. The bugs will also be absent from your device. 

But for Pixel 4 lovers, it is the end of the road for the motion sensor features. The Pixel 4 device was the first and the last one with the feature. But the two devices of the line-up Pixel 4 and Pixel 4 XL, will get support from open-source developers. 

Popular ones like Lineage OS will provide the latest OS for the device for a longer duration. For that, you will need to visit the XDA developer’s website and follow the instructions to install the OS on your device. but the point to be noted here is that you will not get any support from Google. You will also need to unlock the bootloader of your device. along with all this, your device will sometimes also face some bugs and reduced performance, if there are any bugs in the OS. 

So, Pixel 4 users will need to be extra careful as they will need to avoid any malware-infected sites and also some doubtful apps from installing on their device. as these can cause some errors in your device. But those who are extra careful with their device can extend one or two more years from their device, before finally bidding goodbye to the device. 

But apart from all this, there are still Pixel 5 series devices that you can still buy at a cheaper rate than the flagship devices. Some websites and shops will even allow you to exchange your device for a new Pixel device at an even cheaper rate.

Netflix gives a reason to cheer for some of its viewers

Netflix is now providing one more option for American users. Now, some users have the option of taking up the lowest subscription available with ads. This subscription is available for a price of $6.99 a month and comes with ads in between the shows.

This subscription also makes some of the content unavailable to the viewers. To check the blocked content, you will have to get the no ads subscription. If the content has a red lock in the top right corner, then assume that such content is blocked.

This offer was on the cards for quite some time. So, after some trial, now the offer is available for some. This offer now makes the most popular streaming site, more attractive to viewers. It also enables the viewers to experience their favourite content, but with some ads. There is also a restriction in terms of the resolution, which is restricted to 720p.

On the official part, Netflix clarifies that there will ads of 15 to 20 seconds in duration. You cannot skip them, but you can pause them. The ads are the general ads that you see on the internet or YouTube. So, now we can choose one of the cheaper options from Netflix and keep using it. It will reduce piracy to some extent. It will also reduce the sharing of accounts which has been the case with many, for the last few years.

Recently, there have been speculations of various changes in the Netflix plan. So there have been some for the last few months. It is one of them. The other changes include the introduction of restrictions that will stop people from sharing passwords of their accounts with their friends and family.

But there is also content on the platform which will not show you any ads. It is difficult to predict as no list or indication will indicate which content has ads and which does not.

Now, if we consider different platforms, then there are a few changes that point to this new subscription option. In the case of iOS, there is an indication that people can select an ad-supported option, but there are no links, that can point you in the right direction. On the other hand, there are links on the website that will direct you to the page, that will let you choose the ad option.

So, now these changes will be bad news for some. As people expect to see ads in a free version of any service. But, here the viewers will have to watch ads even after paying a certain amount for a subscription. Only time will tell whether viewers like this plan or not. But for beginners there is one plus point, there is an even cheaper version of Netflix for the viewers. For the unknown, there will also be less requirement for some to share their login details as more viewers will be able to afford Netflix. Netflix will also be hoping that more subscribers use its streaming service.
