Food Pollution.

We, human beings are vulnerable to various types of pollution. And Food is one of the most significant things we need to survive in this world. So, if the food we consume becomes polluted then what are the chances for us to stay healthy? Food Pollution over time has become a topic of concern, so let’s have look at it. 

What is Food Pollution?

Food Pollution is defined as the presence of toxic chemicals (elements or compounds) or biological contaminants which are not naturally present in food or are above their natural background level (for those chemicals which are naturally found in some foods).

What are the effects of Food Pollution?

Food Pollution can affect us by causing mild to moderate to severe food illness and it can also cause various health issues like hormonal and metabolic imbalance, and even various types of cancer. Certain pesticides present in the food can also cause Nervous System problems. Further, in few cases, highly polluted food can cause immediate food poisoning or even death. Approximately, more than 70 million cases of food-borne diseases occur alone in the U.S. every year, resulting in 5,000 deaths per year. 

What are the causes of Food Pollution? 

There are several causes of Food Pollution. Practically, any pollutant has the potential to pollute food just by coming in contact with it.  And vegetables can get polluted by bacterial problems which can only be destroyed by processing the contaminated food at high temperatures. Let’s have a look at situations where toxic chemicals can get into the food:-

★ consumption of polluted water and/or food by fish or other animals;

★ food processing, packaging, and handling;

★ propagation and concentration of pollutants through the food chain;

★ growing of food (e.g. crops, fruits, vegetables) in polluted soils, solid wastes (e.g. mine tailings), or areas with polluted groundwater;

★ irrigation of grown food (e.g. vegetables, fruits, crops) with polluted water;

★ growing of food (e.g. crops, fruits, vegetables) in areas with polluted air;

★ agricultural treatments with pesticides, insecticides, and/or herbicides;

★ agricultural application of sewage sludge and/or polluted fertilizers (which contain ash from power plants). 

Safe Food Alternative

Japan has come up with an alternative for producing safe food, according to which vegetables should be grown in factories that terminate the unpredictable effect of environmental pollution, unpredictable weather, or pests. Also, the process would be all computerized that would control various factors affecting growth. This idea of a safe food alternative was given by OZU cooperation in Tokyo. Can this be the way of future agriculture? Well, this we’ll see. 

Hazards of Food Pollution are everywhere and all can be done on an individual level is; by informing ourselves and taking action. 

Domestic violence during the pandemic

 Domestic violence during the Covid pandemic is a major concern which indicates the negative psychological and social impact of the pandemic on our society. Countries all over the globe, have reported alarmingly high number of cases of violence faced in the households.  

Domestic violence

It refers to any sort of physical, sexual or emotional violence by a partner or any other family member. Women are the primary victims of this sort of violence. It is a crime according to section 498A of the Indian Penal Code. The Government of India had passed the ‘Protection of women from domestic violence act’ in 2005. 

Impact of the pandemic

Cases of violence have increased with the rise of Covid-19 pandemic. The National Commission for Women(NCW) received 13,410 complaints of crime against women between March- September, 2020. Out of the complaints received, 4350 were about the problem of domestic violence. Not only in India, but a rise in cases were seen globally. According to a report by the UN in 2020, 243 million women and girls were subjected to domestic violence worldwide.


A drastic rise in cases were seen, even when many of the cases go unreported due to the social stigma attached to it. Research shows that violence tends to increase in conditions of any crisis or disaster. A similar rise in cases of violence in households was seen during the Ebola outbreak between 2014-2020. 

Causes of increase in violence

The pandemic has led to quarantine in many of the countries, it has completely changed the day to day lifestyle of the people. The pandemic has restricted the movement and confined people to their house. It has also economically impacted people with a rise in unemployment and other losses. This has contributed to psychological distress among the people.


Unfortunately the stress, anger and frustration has culminated into violence in some households. There is also a lack of social support or protective network for the victim because of isolation inside the house. Many find it difficult to access timely help or intervention in these situations. 

Solutions

The first and foremost step is to make people aware about it and give them proper knowledge to access help. Most of the survivors have limited information about seeking justice against violence. Many of them hesitate to speak up or register a complaint. Under-reporting of cases is a major problem. Surveys show that only 7% of the victims reach out for help. In such conditions legitimate information and awareness plays a crucial role in raising voice against the crime. Building an easily accessible community support system for the victims and giving them psycho-social support is another important step. 

Various social media campaigns have helped to make support accessible in the times of Covid-19. Often youngsters have actively involved themselves in such awareness campaigns. Recently, NCW had launched a Whatsapp based helpline to ease the process during the pandemic. Some state governments had also started different initiatives like tele-counselling programmes for women. The UN had also launched the ‘Shadow pandemic public awareness campaign’ to raise awareness about the increasing violence. 

Domestic violence is a social evil which needs to be eradicated for the betterment of our society.

Importance of Training and Internship

Over the years, the Indian education system has landed itself into myriad controversies as it is often criticized by the masses for its sheer inability to go beyond the four walls of the classroom and non-deliverance of an all-round enriching, practical learning experience to the pupils. The critics argue further that its biggest problem is the lack of emphasis on experiential learning and undue focus given to rote learning. As a result of this, the students bear the brunt of this massive shortcoming, often being faced with a bombshell when they enter the job market,looking for gainful employment.
At that stage, they find themselves unequipped with relevant skills as well as unbeknownst to professional
requirements and work culture.

Against the backdrop of the wedge between the education system and the job market, training and internships come to the rescue of the budding young talent to endow them with a strong foundation and a bright future.
An internship is a short-term work commitment made by a student with an organisation, whether paid or unpaid for the purpose of gaining a hands-on-experience in the relevant field. It is usually aligned to the student’s career goal and thus, holds of utmost significance to his/her career prospects in the specific field.
The first and foremost advantage that an internship offers is exposure to the professional environment, skill requirements and work-culture in the field of interest. It promises a formidable opportunity to the students to apply classroom teaching in real life work-scenarios, broadens the horizons of their knowledge and helps them to learn to accommodate themselves in a professional setting.
It’s rightly said, “What you learn, you may forget but what you experience, you will always retain”.This precisely puts forth the marvel of experiential learning that a student can savour using the tool of training & internship.
Our education system too has been trying to play fair its own part in overcoming the obstacle of excessively theoretical, syllabus bound learning remote from practicality with the incorporation of case studies at secondary & higher levels. What is more, many postgraduate schools such as MBA institutes are trying to engage students in group discussions, corporate case studies and debates over global issues so to enhance their knowledge about how things operate in the real world. However, they can never pale into insignificance, the true foundational experience that an internship promises. It continues to standout as a worthwhile experience and does not fail to deliver upon its promise helping students to not only gain a competitive edge in today’s globalised world but contributing equally to their personality development by imparting them life skills.
Another incredible advantage is that the students are set to gain both personally & professionally under the guidance of experts in the field as they work in an organization. Besides, they have the opportunity to build valuable contacts in the relevant field through networking which might come handy later when they enter the industry as employees.
Organizations and employers are also benefitted as they can evaluate the fresh talent and infuse their innovative, nouvelle ideas to create something of value using a fresh perspective for the organisation. Sometimes, they may even find suitable candidates who can transform into valuable human resource in the disguise of interns and thus, may be able to hire qualified young people on a full time commitment. In such a case, prospective employees no longer need to set off on a job hunting spree post completion of degrees while employers too can employ highly qualified and tested new talent acquainted with their work-culture. Therefore, internships are able to create a mutually beneficial relationship between the two.
There is no denying the fact that internships help enhance resume or CV but they indeed offer a lot more than just that. Fresh graduates are not bombarded with sky-high expectations of employers abruptly. They know precisely what to expect and what the employers expect from them in addition to how the career is going to contribute to their all-round growth. With this being said, internships can be considered to be a crucial point of decision-making if students are infested with doubts regarding how a particular field would shape their career. They may explore multiple fields before taking the ultimate plunge into that one career that is meant for them and for which they are best suited for.
Henceforth, internships help tremendously in choosing the right career path based on experience and rationale rather than impulse or hearsay. It brings us to the conclusion that training & internships are crucial to bridging the gap between education system and job market even as they prepare the budding talent of tomorrow to hone requisite skills and pursue their scintillating dreams unflinching, embracing a brighter future.
