I am here to say a few words on the subject of Girl Child’s importance and how we can save them. Since years we know through our culture and ancient history that the importance of women is documented and accepted always, but on the practical ground, we should be more serious. They are equally responsible for the existence of humankind on earth. They are accountable responsible for the progress and development of any country or any country.Therefore, we must take steps to protect the human population from extinction and protect women.
It is a common practice in India, where people abort or kill girls at birth. But, they should be given equal opportunities and given the honor and opportunity to move forward in life. However, the fate of civilization is in his hands as the core of my creation.Although girls are ahead of boys in many areas, people still prefer boys. There is evidence that girls perform better in every field and career field than boys these days because of their dedication and hard work.
Many have also gone to outer space because of their intelligence and capability. They are more talented, reliable, hardworking, and responsible for the family and their lives. Besides, girls tend to be more caring and affectionate towards their parents. Above all, they give 100% to every task.

Measures are taken by the Government: 
India to protect girls. The government has taken several initiatives to protect the girls and launched several campaigns to protect them. Beti Bachao, Beti Padhao, is a recently launched initiative by the government, which actively encourages people to protect girls. Also, many NGOs, companies, corporate groups, and human rights commissions have launched several campaigns to protect girls.However, the government has taken the matter seriously, and, to prevent female fetuses, they have banned sex-determination ultrasound, amniocentesis, and scan tests in hospitals and laboratories.

Conclusion :
Girls should be protected because they are less able or capable than boys. They can act like boys and take responsibility for their family and country. All of today’s girls are tomorrow’s mothers. If we respect and care for them today and treat them appropriately, they will appreciate and respect us tomorrow.

Bengaluru: A 21-year-old climate activist has been arrested from Bengaluru for being allegedly involved in sharing the “toolkit” related to the farmer’s protest on social media, police said on Sunday.

Disha Ravi was arrested by a Cyber Cell team of the Delhi Police from Bengaluru on Saturday, a senior police officer said.

Earlier, the Delhi Police had asked Google and some social media giants to provide information about email id, URLs and certain social media accounts related to the creators of the “toolkit” shared by teen climate activist Greta Thunberg and others on Twitter in connection with the farmers’ protest.

The Cyber Cell had lodged an FIR against “pro-Khalistan” creators of the “toolkit” for waging a “social, cultural and economic war against the Government of India”.

The case against unnamed persons was registered on charges of criminal conspiracy, sedition and various other sections of the Indian Penal Code, the police said.

Addressing a press conference earlier, a senior Delhi Police officer said initial investigation linked the document with a pro-Khalistan group named “Poetic Justice Foundation”.

According to the police, the “toolkit” has a particular section that mentions “digital strike through hashtags on or before January 26, tweet storms on January 23 onwards, physical action on January 26 and watch-out or join farmers march into Delhi and back to borders”.

The “toolkit” was aimed at spreading disaffection and ill-will against the government of India and creating disharmony among various social, religious and cultural groups, the police had added.

Polybags are light, low-cost, waterproof and non-teasing. Cloth, jute and paper bags have been replaced in our everyday lives. The risky aspects of using polybags appear to be ignored by all of us. Blocking of drains due to polybags can cause rainwater to overflow. Hot edible goods that are placed in or stored in polybags result in food items being contaminated. Consumption of food products of this sort will adversely affect human health. The use of polybags, writes the author, should be banned. It’s critical that our planet be saved from the danger of polybags. As we step out of our houses, he says, the most comfortable and alternative view will be using a cloth or jute bag.

About a third of British women have been exposed to sexual harassment of some kind. According to the Mumsnet social networking site, one in 10 says they were assaulted. Just a third goes to the police, and another third tells no one, not even close friends at all. One of the few crimes where truth lies not in the physical facts of the matter, but in the emotional motives of those concerned, is sexual harassment. There is no call for a wholesale rejection of the universal standards of justice
The misconception that rape is mainly a threat at night on the streets is part of the issue. Actually, in the proverbial dark alley, rape never occurs. Two-thirds of victims are conscious of their perpetrator, and assaults typically take place

A rainbow is a meteorological phenomenon that is caused by  reflection, refraction and dispersion of light in water droplets resulting in a spectrum of light appearing in the sky. It takes the form of a multicolored circular. There are seven colours in the rainbow red, orange, yellow, green  blue, indigo and violet. The acronym ROY G. THE various colors came to reflect both the immense diversity and the unity of the LGBTQ community.It was not until 1994 that the rainbow flag was truly established as the symbol for LGBTQ pride. They are  not as rare as they may seems and how they from isn’t. So unusual rainbows from when sun hits a raindrop and light blends or refracts… It’s so cool to see and the higher secondary rainbow  is usually more faint in colour than the main rainbow .A more rare phenomenon is called a twinned rainbow. Rainbow are actually full circle. The antisolar points is the center of the circle viewers in aircraft can sometimes see these circle rainbow viewers on ground can only see the light reflected by raindrops above the horizon. If we draw rays of sunlight that reflect 42 degrees into your eyes then those rays start to look like they from a circle are in the sky. So the reflection gives you the shape of the rainbow while the refraction gives you the colour of the rainbow from the air you can see circle rainbow.                                                                           

Environment pollution is the mixing of harmful pollutants into the environment causing disturbance to the natural processes and cycles. Various types of environmental pollution are categorized as the water pollution, air pollution, land pollution and noise pollution. Production of solid and liquid wastes on a large scale from the industries, emissions of hazardous gases, deforestation, global warming, and many more problems originated by human beings are the main reasons of increasing environmental pollution. In the last one decade, there is a great increase in the level of environmental pollution and the scenario has become worse than earlier.

All the natural gases in the environment make their balance by reacting to each other. Some of them are used as food by plants like carbon dioxide. But, just imagine what happens when we start finishing plants. Decreasing number of plants causes less use of carbon dioxide which gets spread into the whole environment and in turn increases environmental temperature level and thus global warming.We are doing lots of such mistakes daily and it should not be a big surprise for us that one day the chance of life existence would be finished on this planet.

Environmental pollution needs a global level awareness and every one of us needs to understand our all mistakes, causes of pollution, ways to solve the problems created by it and most importantly how to stop the negative environmental changes and environmental pollution.

Conclusion:

Environmental pollution has become a great concern to save our planet. We need to adapt various measures to reduce environmental pollution. Some of them include planting trees, reducing the use of non-renewable resources, proper disposal of wastes, etc. It is the responsibility of every individual to save our environment from getting polluted.
