    Be the reason for someone’s heartbeat

    “Donate blood”
    Every year, World Blood Donor Day is observed on June 14 to raise awareness about the need to donate blood regularly to increase the availability of safe blood and its products for patients in need. This day is also an occasion to thank donors who volunteer to donate the life-saving gift of blood. This also acts as an encouragement for others who are otherwise hesitant to volunteer in the noble cause.
    According to the World Health Organization, blood transfusion can potentially save several lives, but many times patients needing transfusion do not have access to safe blood readily. Many times, patients suffering from life-threatening conditions can be saved by blood donation.
    It is believed that blood donation not only helps save lives but also has certain health benefits for the donor as well eg. weight loss, reduce excess iron overload, reduced heart disease risk, lowered cancer risk, enhance new blood cell production, etc.
    Friends, I have donated blood voluntarily 15 times till now, and on the occasion of World Blood Donor Day, I humbly request you all to donate the blood (not on a road) but donate it to the needy….. because a friend in need is a friend indeed
    Thank you
    Regards
    Dr. Anup Hendre

  • Steps you can take to protect Biodiversity

    Steps you can take to protect Biodiversity

    The most important thing we can do to protect biodiversity is to use the POWER of our voices. We must share this type of information because no matter how much it ‘makes sense’ or seems like a no brainer to you and I, the rest of the world needs to understand the importance and impact that it has on US, as humans, too. Your voice is more powerful than you could ever imagine. Being an ambassador makes you an active member of the Survival Revolution.

  • Research brings new ideas

    Research brings new ideas

    Research sparks new ideas and facts; enables the researcher to draw novel conclusions about his research topic. The more deeply one researches on a particular subject better he may get into the field and properly help position his or her ideas. Research stimulates different ideas and helps build discerning and analytical concepts.

    When a learner is curious to know, research provides him with a gateway to explore and explain different dimensions of the subject. Research provides a great learning curve and infuses positivity in the researcher and learners through the exploration of new ideas and facts. It also helps raise awareness about the subject matter and provides new facts to the people.

  • Save Trees

    Save Trees

    From childhood, we have heard that trees are our best friend but in practical life, we didn’t see anyone who treats trees as their friends. Although they are the most valuable life source on the earth. They benefit every life form in a direct or indirect way. And the earth is connected to them to maintain a natural balance. In this essay on save trees, we are discussing the reason why our friends need saving.

    They nourish us and protect us in many ways. Also, they keep our environment green and clean. So, it becomes our responsibility to repay them for the things they do for us by saving them. Besides, large trees are more beneficial than small ones because they capture more carbon, capture more water, combat the heat, filter greenhouse gases, gives shelter from heat and sunlight, etc. So, it can be said that we depend on them more rather than they do on us.

  • Educate the future generation

    Educate the future generation

    In this digitalized global age, the next generation of young citizens will create jobs, not seek them, and collaborate to advance an increasingly complex world. That will require imagination, empathy, resilience, and entrepreneurship, the ability to fail forward. The most obvious implication of a world that requires learners to constantly adapt and grow is the need to build the capacity and motivation for lifelong learning. People used to learn to do the work; now learning is the work, and the post-industrial era will require coaching, mentoring, teaching, and evaluating that can build passion for learning.

    There must be an appreciation for the value of learning well beyond high school, beyond college graduation. People need to take ownership over what they learn, how they learn, where they learn, and when they learn. And lifelong learning requires people not only to constantly learn new things but also to unlearn and relearn as the world changes.

  • Why should we appreciate our students?

    Why should we appreciate our students?

    In recent years, there have been many problems among a large number of minors, such as moral disordering, being addicted to the Internet, committing crime, sexual crime, suffering from psychological diseases, running away from home, committing suicide, and so on. The reasons are various. In addition to the family estrangement and lack of parents’ raising education, the deeper reason may be that children don’t really feel accepted and appreciated. The deepest humanity principle is to be accepted and recognized. As Diesterweg, a German famous educator said: “The art of education is not to teach knowledge and skills, but to inspire, awake and stimulate”. As a kind of incentive mode of education, appreciation education is consistent with the current education and teaching aims. It is a kind of new teaching idea. Appreciation education is not to praise and encourage, but to appreciate children’s behavior results in order to strengthen the child’s behavior. It is to appreciate children’s behavior process so as to stimulate children’s interest and motivation. It is to create the environment to indicate
    children’s direction of development. It is to alert appropriately, enhance children’s psychological experience, and correct children’s bad behavior.
