Since the art of making fire and creating handicraft tools, our civilization has come a long way. Science ad technology is making advances at an amazing rate. Technology has transformed our way of life by providing us all the means of comfort and luxuries. The faster vehicles for travel and facilities for global communication are also the result of technological advancement. It is beyond doubt that technology has made our life hassle-free and comfortable to an unimaginable level.

Technology has altered the physical side of man by providing him with lots of free time to do some services to society. But at present man has become like a machine, without feelings and emotions. They have become very professional fulfilling their duties efficiently. They are satisfied with their achievements and growth and are least bothered about the people who are not lucky enough to enjoy the benefits of life.

Man is not bothered about the problems, the issues which are prevalent in the society causing harm to the public at large. Every individual must work for the upliftment of the society by helping and cooperating in their specialized fields. Society will gain only when there is proper coordination between technology and humanity because the human touch is a must no matter how advanced technology is.

Education can be defined in so many ways as it is more than just seeking knowledge about any particular subject is it from textbooks or real-time lessons. Education is a way of helping a man to grow his full stature. It enables him to realize his nature both mentally and spiritually. Alphabets can, therefore, be considered the most momentous invention in the ascent of man. The use of words enables man to master time by preserving for the posterity the best that is seen, experienced, or done. Human .knowledge refined by successive generations has upgraded technology which has altered the very essence of life. The birth of civilization was conceived in the making of the alphabet.

The knowledge of the alphabet is the first step in the education of man and is central to the whole concept of elementary education. There is an inextricable link between education and progress. Education enables people to acquire greater control over their destiny. Farmers in India, who ushered in the Green Revolution, could do so only after they learned about the high yield of hybrid varieties of wheat and pest-resistant varieties of rice. Education also equips people to benefit from the social-economic and physical infrastructure whether they have to avail of credit facilities from the banks or to use telephone or telegraph for their business transactions.

Perhaps, the greatest use of education and knowledge has been made in the field of health and nutrition. Until recently, millions of people died every year in tropical and sub-tropical countries of the globe of diarrhea. However, when they were educated that the simple solution of water sugar and salt can save people from this fatal disease, the mortality rate substantially declined. The use of iodized salt has arrested the incidence of goiter throughout the world. The aim of education is to develop in man the characteristics of human beings.

Whereas the growth of civilization with the aid of science has made man’s life easier, more comfortable, heal their and happy, it has been awfully noted in recent years that it has also brought the problem of pollution which has put before humanity the question of its survival.

Water and air – the two essentials of life have been mixed with so many undesirable pollutants, that fresh air and freshwater have become almost impossible to enjoy. This brings in turn the incurable diseases to the life and danger of decaying to the beautiful things made by a man on this earth. Pollution has two forms, viz; the pollution of water and the pollution of air. The pollution of water is mainly caused by surface water such as rivers, tanks, or lakes. The water is mixed up with many kinds of impurities due to the discharge of industries, hospitals, city sewage, the garage, and the leftover. All these make water poisonous which causes harm to the living beings, vegetation, and even to the non-living bodies.

Intellectuals and scientists should come ahead with preventive measures to eradicate the problem of pollution. Government should also take some ore concrete measures like cleaning rivers Ganga and Yamuna and making them free from pollutants. Most importantly we as educated and concerned beings should also take preventive measures and spread awareness around regarding pollution and consequences of it, after all, mother earth is one of our major responsibilities.

One of the goals of counseling is to help the student to discover themselves, to look into their own inner private world, and to collect information about themself, to have a realistic knowledge about everything related to them. In this way, the student will revise his distortions and alter his behavior in a positive direction. With correct and concrete information about their real self, they will be able to solve their own problems. Thus the process of counseling should lead the individual on the path of Self-Knowledge, self-realization, and self-help.

Acquiring knowledge about everything is important no doubt, but the most critical one is having knowledge about inner-self. Without knowing about own weaknesses and strengths it is almost impossible for any individual to work on themself. The institutions and people concerned educating students and young minds should focus more on educating people to study introspect what is there in their own self including their interests, disinterests, weaknesses, strengths, principles, etc.

The most important medium used in education today is the printed word. Knowledge is preserved in books and the first step in education is learning to read. But a blind man cannot read a book. is he then to be denied opportunities to educate himself? No, not necessarily so. The blind can get themselves educated, not only in the sense of being able to read and write but even in the sense of training themselves for the profession. Teachers of the blind have devised methods by which the blind can ‘read’ books without the aid of the eyes. The most famous of these methods is, undoubtedly, Braille.

Braille ( named after its inventor ) is a system of representation of printed symbols by raised dots on a flat surface. Six dots in various combinations are used to represent letters, numbers, punctuation marks, and some common words. The blind person ‘reads’ the boo by passing his fingers over the dots. Thousands of blind people all over the world have used Braille to educate themselves. A book in Braille is not so compact or handy as compared to any other book. The size makes it difficult for people to use Braille as easily as printed books.

To overcome the difficulties, a new method has been introduced in recent times. The American Association for the Blind made ‘Talking books’ or long-playing discs with recordings of books. The popularity of talking books and tape recording is steadily increasing, and governments and private agencies have come forward to support the effort to produce them and make them available to people who need them.
