Aditya, Kusum toppers in CBSE exams Sonepat, May 25 Kusum wants to become a good citizen of the society and is interested to work for the service of the country. Talking to mediapersons, she said: “We can achieve any target by working hard and we can get the desired results if we work sincerely in preparing for the examinations.” She gave credit to her teacher staff and parents, who helped her all the time and in every way for her success. As a message to junior students, Kusum is of the firm opinion that the students should prepare their time schedule of studies right from the very beginning of the academic session. Instead of reading the help books, they should concentrate only on studying the textbooks, she said. Similarly, Aditya who is the son of a doctor prefers to become a doctor. Aditya said: “We should not become a bookworm; rather one must spare time for sports to keep our mind fresh and free from boredom.” A regular study of three hours was sufficient to secure good marks, he said. Aditya also supports the time schedule of studies through out the year to avoid pressure during last days of the year before the examinations and is of the opinion that during examination days, the students should only revise the questions prepared earlier. In the district merit list of class X, Ankita Tiwari of Hindu Vidya Peeth got second position with 94.2 per cent marks. She desires to become an IAS officer. Her academic records right from the sixth class have been the most outstanding one in her school. |

SCHOOL BUZZ It was a weekend packed with anxiety, excitement, euphoria and also despair for some.

Like the previous years, tele-counselling services, were flooded with calls and counsellors were doling out advice to parents and students to help tide over emotional turmoil. While independent schools in the Capital have performed well, the surprise element was the result of government school students, who took the class XII exams. Having made a jump of 5.87 per cent, these schools have made a mark.

PRINCIPALSPEAK As the mercury soars and the water table plunges further, life is thrown out of gear. Each passing year, water crisis worsens and the warning bell tells us that by the year 2050, there will be no water reserves left unless we mend our ways. A rainless firmament, a dry subsoil and irresponsible use of water together will spell doom for the human beings. We all know that water is the elixir of life. Water is an essential component of the body and is vital for life, yet we are foolishly drying up our water reserves. While water crisis has emerged as a crucial environmental issue, there is an ethical aspect of it that needs to be reflected upon. How justifiable is the unequal distribution of water and who is responsible for it? We are quick to point the finger at the government for its inefficiency and short term policies, but have we tried to assess our role in snowballing the crisis? How responsible are we for the thirsty mouths when we take a bath in a tub full of water? God has created water and grass for everyone do we then have a right to deplete and take away an excessive share for our pleasure while others stare helplessly? The animal living in a jungle share water from the same source and yet do so without fighting, each satisfies their thirst. There are ethical issues involved in our daily actions. We need to ask ourselves do we really need to wash down the driveway till it sparkles, wash our cars with a running hosepipe when taps are running dry? Taking a bath with a large quantity of water may make you feel good, but is it apt today? The water we consume is not our property, it is the grace of mother earth and we owe it to her to hold it as precious and save it. The heart-rending images of thirst children trying to drink from holes dug in the earth should awaken our conscience and we should treat each drop as precious. After all there is virtue in sharing. —
