Lt Navdeep Singh

On the fateful night of 19th August 2011, Lt Navdeep Singh and his Commando Platoon were deployed in the Kanzalwan Sub Sector in response to intelligence inputs about a desperate bid by a large group of highly trained terrorists, fully equipped and armed to the teeth with deadly weapons.

Leading from the front and demonstrating the highest standards of tactical acumen, field craft and fire control, this brave heart quickly sited his ambush, correctly appreciating the path that the terrorists would adopt. In a display of sheer unbridled courage coupled with steely grit, Lt Navdeep Singh allowed the unsuspecting terrorists to walk into his trap.

Springing his ambush at the last moment, Navdeep singlehandedly engaged and eliminated three hardcore terrorists from close range. Despite being hit and severely injured in the violent return fire, Lt Navdeep Singh continued to control the encounter, marshalling his resources with cool presence of mind. Living upto the highest military ideals, despite being grievously injured, he saved the life of his buddy while gunning down a fourth terrorist, before eventually succumbing to his injuries.

His gallant action resulted in his team eliminating twelve hardcore terrorists in one of the fiercest encounters on the Line of Control, dealing a crippling body blow to the terrorist groups.

Light Combat Helicopter (LCH), a name resembling with Light Combat Aircraft (LCA), is indigenously made helicopter by Hindustan Aeronautics Limited. LCH is a derivative of HAL Dhruv, which was introduced in Indian armed forces.

Recently LCH was seen in Jodhpur, having trail flight (especially as hot weather flight trails at 39-42 degree Celsius). According to HAL, the tests were successfully concluded and HAL is expecting to get initial operational clearance (IOC) soon and the production will start from the end of this year. The test aimed at performance assessment along with hydraulic, on board system and handling tests. The helicopter has passed cold weather trails this year which was done in leh at minus 18 degree Celsius at about 4 km altitude and at varying speed. It is designed for two pilot crew and for anti-infantry and anti-armor purpose at high altitude. Some sources claimed it having digital camouflage system.Light-Combat-Helicopter-LCH-The-King-of-Battle

LCH, developed by HAL for Indian Airforce and Indian Army (Army aviation corps). An order of 114 and 65 LCH has been placed by Indian Army and Indian Air force. A similar project of Light Combat Aircraft, Tejas, which is also indigenously made by India for multirole purpose. Well, Light Combat feature makes both of them a must use machine. Currently the Cheetahs and the Chetaks are sub-three-tonne and single-engine unarmed utility helicopters. These are to be replaced by some more multipurpose and efficient helicopters.

What Led to its Requirement?

During kargil war in 1999, India felt the requirement of attack helicopters, especially for operations in high altitudes. This requirement led India to the development of a helicopter with diverse functions which will fulfill Army and Air force’s needs. According to the sources, Light Combat Helicopter is designed against slow moving Arial targets (like UAVs).

What’s Special about LCH?

Light combat helicopter has been given some special feature that make it an all-rounder in battle field and the king of battle.

  • Twin engine (Shakti engine)

  • Fuel efficient, which makes it a top priority for forces.
  • Seating of pilot and co-pilot and weapon operator.
  • Stealth features like armor protection, reduced visual, radar and infrared signatures and crash proof landing gears.

The unique features of LCH are sleek and narrow fuselage, crashworthy and self-sealing fuel tanks, tri-cycle crashworthy landing gear, armor protection and low visibility features which make the LCH more lethal and deadly.

The race for indigenous production is speeding up and is positively making India self-dependent. With these development armed forces are also being benefited in two ways. First, phasing out of old weapons and warheads and second, empowering the new with more compatibility and efficiency. India’s hunt for multirole beasts is a good initiative and will really help India to become a military superpower. Requirements never ends but, improvements and enhancements are always required for nation’s security and defense. Well, India is going on a right path and heading to a bright future.

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

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?

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?

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.
