General-Knowledge-ISIS-Completed-One-Year

ISIS, a name that itself signifies the terrorism and deaths, is celebrating one year of declaration of the caliphate. Well, this one year was very much tough for the people as well as the government. ISIS these days is on the top of the list of terror groups and is also named as deadliest terror group overcoming Al-Qaeda.

Beheading and Massacre: Media was full with the news of beheading of pilots and one of the Jordanian pilot, burnt alive by them. 18 Syrian pilots were beheaded in the fight against terrorism. May people of the acquired area were beheaded including some armed forces personals also. Recently ISIS is reported to have beheaded 2 women of Syria in the first attempt of beheading women. The women were alleged of sorcery activities and were executed for it. These activities have made their dictatorship over the area.

Radioactive Material: A report came recently (released by Australian intelligence) about the group having sufficient radioactive material that can be used to make a dirty bomb. The source of radioactive material is thought to be the research centers and hospitals that were under the government. ISIS collected the radioactive material and is not trying to produce a bomb. Not only this, ISIS is also believed to be working on poisonous gas like chlorine.General-Knowledge-ISIS-Completed-One-Year

Mass Emigration: The wrath of ISIS on Iran has led to the mass migration of citizen form the country. The people were reported to flee from the area. ISIS has also threatened to migrate about 5 lakh people from Libya to Europe. Well, these weapons were sharply planned and masterminded.

Women as Sex Slave: Thousands of women and girls were estimated to be indulged in sexual slavery. According to human rights report, the women under the ISIS occupied area are facing sexual assault, sexual slavery, organized rape and forced marriage. Open selling of girls on the basis of their virginity and appearance, is also reported by some sources. And sometimes repeated selling is also witnessed.

Online Recruitment and Impact on Youth: Many countries are suffering from their citizens going for recruitment in ISIS. Turkey, France, U.K. and even India is among the list from where recruits have joined ISIS. India also became prey of it when 4 students of kalyan, Mumbai went to join ISIS. The speeding recruitment drive has become a headache for the world. According to the sources, the new recruits include militants of Al-Nusra front and Al-Qaeda affiliated by Syria. The group is also very active in social media like Facebook, Tweeter, Instagram and Dawn (famous in Middle East). Ads of requirement of Doctors, engineers (to run their oilfields overtaken by them), reporters, and accountants is also reported. Some website have the group advertising for qualified hackers and programmers.

People are still waiting for justice and ISIS is mostly seen on the headlines, always for a disappointing cause. This problem can be solved with political and military coordination. And need to be solved before it will change its face to a more cruel and disastrous one.

Water Crisis – Caution for Future

Water-Crisis–Caution-for-Future

The human body needs many resources to survive and some basic things to lead the human race. Water is one of the crucial resource to continue the generation of all living beings on earth. One can’t expect the life without a water (chemical name is Hydrogen Oxide, H2O).  But since the man has taken technology to a higher level, he has neglected that as high as he is going up with the ever upgrading technology, the importance of water is being neglected.

A recently released report revealed that about 80% of India’s surface water is polluted. If this case remains true for few more years, then, there will be a day when Water will be declared more costly than gold.

Namami Gange Project

Ganga, the holy river of India, has been recently in the news for being one of the most polluted rivers in India. And, it is estimated that 75-80% of water pollution is from domestic sewage. The wastage of manufacturing companies, ash of cremated people, washing of clothes are few of the major reasons behind its pollution. According to a recently executed survey, it has been informed that nearly 21% of India’s disease are water born which majorly affects people from backward and slum areas. Government sanctioned INR 20,000 crore budget for this project.

The shrinkage of clean water supply is decreasing. The data have also mentioned that about 65% of the Indian cultivable land do not have irrigation facilities. The situation is expected to turn grim as survey disclosed that water supply will reduce by 50% in 2030. This is one of the drastic situation, one can ever expect.Water-Crisis–Caution-for-Future

How to tackle Water Crisis?

Now, as we have acknowledged the crisis of water, we must also gain the knowledge about how to tackle the water crisis. So, with these following three tips, this global issue can be resolved to a much higher extend.

  • Conserve Rain Water: The best way to conserve water is by conserving rain water. It is the best and purest source of water. There are numerous rain water harvesting techniques which can be executed. Surface runoff harvesting, rooftop rainwater harvesting are the two broad categories under which different water conservation techniques are present.
  • Expel Wastage of Water at Home: The water crisis started after neglecting the wastage of water in households. By stopping the excess use as well as wastage of water within each and every house of the nation, the problem of water crisis can be overpowered to a much higher extend. Following a few simple steps like to turn the tap off when not in use, take a bath using a bucket instead of shower, wash all the utensils at one time, etc. will help in getting half success in this issue.
  • Prevent Water Pollution: As the example of the polluted Ganga River has already been present in front you all, you all must take a pledge that you will no more be the participant in polluting any of the fresh water source. Today, the work is going on to find the existence of Sarasvati River as well as cleaning of the Ganga River. But if we don’t pollute them in the initial stage, then there would not be the need of such heavy activities.

All in all, it’s up to you, the common man, who can eradicate the water crisis from the globe and make it a planet known as the Blue planet. Government is there to take possible actions and execute different projects in order to refresh  polluted water, but if you will not take precautions then there will not be any need of such governmental projects/schemes.

So, what steps do you prefer the most to overcome this global problem?

General-Knowledge-China-and-Neighbors

China is one of the neighbors of India, which shares a common boundary. Recently Prime Minister Narendra Modi made a visit to China, where many agreements were signed and the issue of China occupies Kashmir was also discussed. China has been a country with off and on relations with India. Recently it was in the news for its involvement in the Indian Ocean region.

China’s escalating influence in the Indian Ocean region and South China Sea are some of the points that are majorly a part of news in the media. So, all aspirants preparing for the SSB must be aware of the recent happening, which will help you to support your point in Group Discussion and also add a positive impression on interviewing officer.

China, spreading its branches around India, is a part of India’s concern. China’s presence in the Indian Ocean is observed to be increasing from past few years. All military and political traits of China are aiming toward some crucial matters.General-Knowledge-China-and-Neighbors

Chinese submarine was observed a few weeks ago in Karachi, Pakistan, close all season friend of China. The submarine crossed the Arabian Sea close to Indian waters and stayed there for a week. The incident is thought to be a sign of the People’s Liberation Army- Navy to become a blue water navy. These days China is under stiff situation with some countries in concern with acquiring some sea area, claimed to be the property of Philippians and some other nations. This is an alarming incident for India as the dominance of China is on the rise and require an immediate counter or action from the Indian’s end.

Chinese Submarine in Silence: Last year similar incident took place when a Chinese submarine and a warship was docked at Colombo port, Sri Lanka. The reason for docking was disclosed as crew refreshment and refueling. Well, this was not taken as a big deal as about 230 ships have been docked in Sri Lanka since 2010 for goodwill visits, refueling and crew refreshment. The crucial position of Sri Lanka in sea route makes it a safe spot. But these visits became an issue of discussion in New Delhi. As China’s stand on the South China Sea is an example of bitterness in relations. Recently another news was circulated in the media that Sri Lanka is about to buy JF-17 Thunder Fighter Jets from China. But later Sri Lanka denied the rumors about buying the jets.

China’s Statement on South China Sea: In a statement by China, that amazed many nations, China stated that giving back the south China sea claims would make his ancestors shame. The statement was given by China’s forging minister. In recent month’s China has started reclamation and construction work in South China Sea by building artificial islands and airbases in the waters claimed by Vietnam, Malaysia and Philippines. He said that China was a large sea faring nation, one thousand years ago, that means China is the first nation to discover the use of Nansha Island.

The Chinese military empowerment and successive advancement are making lots of issues and news in the media. India needs to get alert as the neighbors are on a move. It’s better to prepare than to talk.

Students Suicide: The Issue that needs Attention

Students-Suicide-The-Issue-that-needs-Attention

Student life, the period of life when a child learns all about the real world. The life of a child as a student starts from the first day of his/her school till getting a reputed job. But today, if we observe the facts, then we will come to know that the number of children’s starting their student life is more than that of those who finish their student life. The reason behind is that since recent past, it has been recorded that students are committing suicide on a higher count. According to a report, the children’s of 10 to 14 years age group undergo suicide more than other age group. So, what are the reasons behind this? Let’s have a look on major reasons.

Competitive Issues:

Race for High Marks

Today is the era, when everyone is running in the race to grab more numbers on their shelf. There is a race to secure 100% in every subject. This thinking has changed a student into not less than a horse. Every student has become a bookworm, which creates an unknown pressure on the mind. And when those students get less than expected marks they feel ashamed and leads to suicide.

Unsuccessful in Exams

Examination is the showcase of one’s performance. It can also be defined as the testing of theoretical knowledge of a student. Students of today prefer mugging up instead of understanding the physics behind the concept. Because of that, they retain shallow knowledge and hence become unsuccessful in getting through the exam. According to a report by NSPCC, the number of young people seeking counselling for exam stress has increased a lot in Britain.Students-Suicide-The-Issue-that-needs-Attention

Family Issues:

Family Pressure

Well, these days the toughest time is going for the middle class families. They want to raise their status, but have limited money for it. The youngster, however work hard, but some unintentional circumstances leads the situation in some other way.

Unaffordable Studies

As today, in every school, most of the students belong to a middle class family. But as the expenses are increasing day by day, it is becoming hard for them to provide a fruitful education for their children’s. In that scenario, they are forced to educate in adverse conditions. Being not able to get adjusted in those situations, students take suicide as the best alternate to opt.

Social Issues:

Alcohol and Drug Addiction

Alcohol is a common drink in each and every school. The reason behind is the open mentality amongst students. But if facts are to be believed, then the count of student suicide because of alcohol is more than any other reason.

How to Prevent Students Suicide?

General Awareness

To overcome this global issue, students must be aware about its reasons and causes. With complete assistance, they will grab knowledge about the problem and will resolve is at their own end.

Minor Tweaks in Education System

Minor tweaks are required in the currently executing education system. In order to prevent youth suicide, there must be an exam system which will be more for the students than for the institutes which executes a high merit list for student’s selection.
So, do you think that there are any other way students suicide can be curbed?

Story Of Lt Ruchi Verma Will Inspire You To Succeed

lieutenant-ruchi-verma-with-husband

As an Army officer’s wife, Lt Ruchi Verma had a peaceful life till 2013 when her husband Major Vineet Verma died in action in the insurgency-hit Balipara, Assam. The ‘veer nari’ title given to army widows wasn’t enough for Verma: She stepped out of the comforts of her home and virtually took over her husband’s duty to the nation, enrolling herself at the Officer’s Training Academy, Chennai last year. Lt Ruchi Verma, 24, was among the 185 cadets of OTA who were formally inducted as officers of the Indian Army.

“My life has turned upside down since I joined the training academy,” said Lt Ruchi Verma, who hopes her five-year old son Akshat Verma will join the Army someday. “I always liked being an officer’s lady,” she said, after the piping ceremony where she was commissioned as Lt Ruchi Verma.

“When Vineet was alive, I had a comfortable life. Servants always carried my bags. I travelled by car for even a distance of 100m. And then, as my training started, I had to run, carrying heavy weaponry,” she said.lieutenant-ruchi-verma-with-husband

Lt Ruchi Verma had to crop her long tresses for the training. When it comes to hard, rigorous training, women are treated as equals to men here in the training academy, said the lady officer. “My legs ached and it became very difficult to run during the first six months of the training. But I wanted to face it, fight it and finish it. I feel fitter and ready for battle now,” she said.

Ruchi’s husband Vineet Verma, who joined the Army in 2006, became a Major in 2009. Since then he had been posted in field areas (line of control) all around the country. He laid down his life after seven years in service.

A native of Bareilly in Uttar Pradesh, Ruchi met Vineet, from Allahabad, after their marriage was arranged by elders. “He was committed to the service and I want to take the good work forward,” she said. Their son Akshat who is to join class 1 is looked after by Ruchi’s mother.

Ajit Doval To Pakistan

Ajit Doval, a celebrated officer of Indian intelligence, known for his daring acts, is India’s National Security Adviser (NSA). On behalf of the Prime Minister, the NSA is the custodian of nuclear button. Ajit Doval, 69, was the director of Intelligence Bureau from 2004 to 2005. He spent decades heading different operation wings. His acts during his service, entrenching deep inside enemy lines, are copycats of spy thrillers.

Ajit Doval, a topper of IPS 1968 batch from Kerala cadre, has served with distinction in Mizoram, Punjab, Kashmir, Pakistan and the UK.

Ajit Doval received India’s second highest gallantry award, the Kirti Chakra, for his daring exploit in the Golden Temple Operation.

In Kashmir, he lured away prominent militants like Kukkay Parey and turned him and his colleagues into counter-insurgents, a policy criticized in some quarters but also praised by others as an effective tool that helped combat militancy in Kashmir at its peak.Ajit Doval To Pakistan

One of his last high profile acts in a career spanning 37 years was as part of the negotiating team that worked behind the scene during the December 1999 hijack of the Indian Airlines flight IC 814 to Kandahar.

Ajit Doval also spent six crucial years in Pakistan as an undercover intelligence officer in Indian mission in Islamabad.

When intelligence sources in Kashmir had dried up, he took up the challenge in 1994 and created a band of counter-insurgents led by dreaded Kuka Parray to reply militants in the same language. That paved way for 1996 assembly elections.

After retirement from service on January 31, 2005, he was security advisor to the Karnataka government.

Known for his clear insight and vision for Indian and global security issues, Doval has been the youngest police officer ever to get the Indian Police Medal, just six years after joining the service.

In 1988, Ajit Doval was awarded one of the highest gallantry awards, the Kirti Chakra, becoming the first police officer to receive a medal previously given only as a military honour.

Lt Anjana Mohan

When Lt Anjana Mohan bagged the ‘Sword of Honour’ in the combined course of Short Service Commission 99 and Short Service Commission (women) 13 at the Indian Army’s Officer Training Academy (OTA) in Chennai, she had not only stood out among scores of men and women, but also achieved the rare feat of being the first woman to get the best all-round cadet award.

“The army is a way of life, not just a profession,” said the Sanpada resident at the headquarters of MG&G (Maharashtra, Gujarat and Goa) area in Colaba as her mother Laila Karkera beamed with pride.

A lawyer by profession, Lt Anjana Mohan chose to opt for the road less travelled when she spotted an advertisement for posts in the Judge Advocate General (JAG) branch. The JAG comprises legally qualified army officers.Lt Anjana Mohan

“The 11-month training made me realise that I can expand the limit of my capabilities by conditioning my mind, and with persistence. The exercises and tasks blurred the idea of impossibility so much that if anyone springs up a seemingly herculean task, I will give it a good try,” says the 25-year-old. During the training, Lt Anjana Mohan also won a silver medal for cross-country running in the junior level and a merit card for the same in the senior level.

Among the many hats that Lt Anjana Mohan adorns is her proficiency in Bharatanatyam, which she started learning at the age of three.

Revealing that she would soon move to Srinagar, Lt Anjana Mohan said, “I’m leaving my family to be part of another family.” She asserted that she was done with her initial training and will get several opportunities to upgrade her knowledge of law in the years to come.

Indian Army Soldier AT LOC

At the Line of Control, young Indian soldiers — in their 20s and 30s — defend one of the world’s most volatile borders. Battling harsh weather, tough terrain and a hostile enemy — as old as the Indian nation itself — these soldiers face a war every day to hold the peace.
