Environment Pollution: A threat to human

By Ramesh Thapa

‘One who doesn’t love the nature, can’t love anything in life.’

Environment pollution is the biggest global killer affecting millions of people. It has been a great challenge to the human health and the existence of other living beings. It is one of the major and serious problems that is being faced by the developing countries.  

The main sources of pollution are the increasing vehicular traffic and garbage. The petrol and diesel being used in the vehicles gives out poisonous smoke. It contains dangerous gases like carbon dioxide, carbon monoxide and nitrogen oxide. The accumulating garbage gives out foul smell and is the birth place of many communicable diseases. Various industries pollute both the air and water by sending out poisonous smoke and waste matters in water courses. The increasing felling of trees, using chemicals excessively during cultivation, building dams and upcoming of congested localities have destroyed the clean environment.

The pollution of air, water and soil is threatening the survival of human beings causing many deadly diseases. The ecological balance of the earth is being threatened. Air and water are polluted by various toxins. Most of the aquatic animals are disappearing forever as water is contaminated. The noise pollution has destroyed the peacefulness of our surroundings.

The public consciousness is the most effective way to minimize the environment pollution. Also, strict rules and prompt implementation are mandatory. If we work together, we can combat against the adversity of the environmental pollution.

Grading system – A boon for Students

By Nisha Thapa

Evaluation is an essential component of the education system. Evaluation helps in analyzing one’s own understanding of the subjects by the students. Evaluation systems are also given a fresh new look. The old traditional system of allocation of marks has been uprooted and replaced by the modern grading system. The National Board Examination grading system is a new step towards the new grading trend.

I basically like this system because it reduces my stress regarding my scores. This also helps in increasing the number of the students who will get good career opportunities. This eradicates the inferiority complex among the students as the students who score 98% will be preferred to student who scores 94%. Due to the emergence of this grading system, this differentiation among students will have no room. Both will be bestowed with an A+ grade and the preference given to them will be on the similar footing.

For so many years our education system has been examination oriented. The percentage of marks obtained in the Board examination was considered a yardstick to measure an individual’s scholastic attainments. The system imposed a heavy stress on the young students. They had to work for fulfilling their own aspirations as well as the wishes of their parents. The unhealthy competition in class also caused peer pressure. Students used to become bookworms as they neared the board exams and gave us all co-scholastic activities, games and even simple physical exercises. The grading system will destress the students. They will score better as there’s no tension of boards and no parental pressure.

Grading system surely curbs the stress the students undergo in this competitive world. This will serve as an encouragement to the slow learners as they will get better grades. This will help them perform better in getting better career options.The traditional system was no doubt helpful to those who were keen on knowing their marks. But the stressful atmosphere induces the students to committing suicides.  The Board of Secondary Education has designed this system with a sole perspective of proving a stress -free environment to the students.
