World Ozone Day 16 SEP 2021

"World Ozone Day:2021 The slogan of the day, ‘Keeping us, our food and vaccines cool.'’, reminds us that not only is ozone crucial for life on Earth but that we must continue to protect the ozone layer for future generations."

World Ozone Day is observed on September 16, every year. It is celebrated to spread awareness among people about the depletion of the Ozone Layer and search for possible solutions to preserve it. On this day, people from all over the world are expected to join the Montreal protocol to join the talks and seminars. A number of commonly used chemicals have been found to be extremely damaging to the ozone layer.

Life on Earth would not be possible without sunlight. But the energy emanating from the sun would be too much for life on Earth to thrive were it not for the ozone layer. This stratospheric layer shields Earth from most of the sun’s harmful ultraviolet radiation.

The Ozone layer or also known as the Ozone shield, a delicate layer of gas, in the Earth’s stratosphere absorbs most of the Sun’s ultraviolet rays. These rays can cause numerous skin diseases.

World Ozone Day: History

On December 19, 1994, the United Nations General Assembly proclaimed September 16 the International Day for the Preservation of the Ozone Layer, commemorating the date, in 1987, on which the Montreal Protocol on Substances that Deplete the Ozone Layer was signed.

On September 16, 1987, the United Nations and 45 other countries signed the Montreal Protocol, on substances that deplete the Ozone layer. Every year, this day is celebrated as the International Day for the Preservation of the Ozone layer.

The purpose of the Montreal Protocol is to protect the Ozone layer by reducing the production of substances that are supposed to be responsible for Ozone layer depletion.

This year, we celebrate 36 years of the Vienna Convention and 35 years of global ozone layer protection.

The Ozone layer is a piece of the atmosphere that has high ozone concentrations. Ozone is a gas that is made of three oxygen atoms O3. Depending on where the ozone layer is, it can either harm life or protect life on Earth.

Most of the ozone stays within the stratosphere whereby it acts as a shield, protecting the surface of the Earth from the harmful ultraviolet radiation of the sun. If this shield was to weaken, we would all be more susceptible to impaired immune systems, cataracts, and skin cancer.

हिंदी दिवस 14 सितंबर

 हिंदी दिवस 14 सितंबर 

हर साल हिंदी दिवस 14 सितंबर को मनाया जाता है। इस दिन ही देवनागरी लिपि में
हिंदी को भारत की आधिकारिक भाषा के रूप में अपनाया गया था। साल 1953
में पहली बार हिंदी दिवस का आयोजन हुआ था।

तभी से यह सिलसिला बना हुआ है। हिंदी दिवस को मनाने का उद्देश्य हिंदी
भाषा की स्थिति और विकास पर मंथन को ध्यान में रखना है। देश में करीब 77 प्रतिशत से
भी ज्यादा लोग हिंदी बोलते हैं।

भारत की मुख्य भाषा हिंदी को कब मिली पहचान-

14 सितंबर 1949 को व्यौहार राजेंद्र सिम्हा के 50 वें जन्मदिन पर हिंदी को आधिकारिक भाषा (Official Language) के रूप में अपनाया गया और इसके बाद
प्रचार-प्रसार को आगे बढ़ाने के प्रयासों में तेजी आई. भारत के संविधान द्वारा 26 जनवरी 1950 को
यह निर्णय लागू किया गया था 
भारतीय संविधान के अनुच्छेद 343 (Article 343) के तहत देवनागरी लिपि (Devanagari Script) में
लिखी गई हिंदी (120 से अधिक भाषाओं में प्रयुक्त होने वाली लिपि) को आधिकारिक भाषा के रूप में अपनाया गया था . 

सरकारी कार्यालयों और शिक्षण संस्थानों में 15 दिन तक हिंदी पखवाड़ा मनाया जाता है।
14 सितंबर 1949 को संविधान सभा की ओर से हिंदी को आजाद भारत की मुख्य भाषा का
दर्जा प्राप्त हुआ था। इसका उल्लेख संविधान के अनुच्छेद 343 (1) में किया गया है। अनुच्छेद के
अनुसार भारत की राजभाषा ‘हिंदी’ और लिपि ‘देवनागरी’ है।

क्यों मनाया जाता है हिंदी दिवस-

हिंदी दिवस के मौके पर देशभर के स्कूलों, कॉलेज और शैक्षणिक संस्थानों में कई तरह की प्रतियोगिताओं का आयोजन किया जाता है। हिंदी पूरे विश्व में चौथी सबसे ज्यादा बोली जाने
वाली भाषा है। वहीं दूसरी ओर भारत में अन्य कई भाषाएं विलुप्त हो रही हैं। जो चिंतन का विषय है।
ऐसे में हिंदी की महत्ता बताने और प्रचार-प्रसार के लिए हिंदी दिवस को मनाया जाता है।

गृह मंत्रालय ने 25 मार्च 2015 के अपने आदेश में हिंदी दिवस पर प्रतिवर्ष दिए जाने वाले दो पुरस्कारों
के नाम बदल दिए थे. 1986 में स्थापित इंदिरा गांधी राजभाषा पुरस्कार को बदलकर राजभाषा कीर्ति
पुरस्कार’ और राजीव गांधी राष्ट्रीय ज्ञान-विज्ञान मौलिक लेखन पुरस्कार को बदलकर राजभाषा गौरव
पुरस्कार कर दिया गया था.

 How to Select a Good Book

The cover of the book is the first to check. Looks good? Go on, take it. But remember – a book cannot be judged only by its cover.

Go through the summary given on the back cover or inside flap. Does the book sound like something you would enjoy? 

Skim the text, specially look for illustrations. Good pictures will help you understand the topic better for non-fiction books and it will be an added attraction for stories and novels. Here your age also matters!

Check the New Arrivals Rack in the library or the bookstore.

Look on the recently returned bookshelf. You will get some good choices. It's a good guest that the books taken by someone else may be a good one. 

Get suggestions from your librarian, who would be glad to help you and may be knowing your likes and dislikes!

Ask the recommendations of your friends and ofcourse, discuss the books you have read.

Your teachers are the best sources. Read the books they might have discussed in the class. 

Check the credentials of the authors. If you liked a book by an author, most probably you would like his other works too!

Go for books published by well-known publishers. They select their books and authors judiciously. So you can rely on them.

Browse through the library shelves. Something will catch your eye. 

Read the book reviews on Newspaper, Magazines and Internet.

A Word of Caution

"No good book, or good thing of any kind, shows its best face at first"

- Carlyle

So, do not judge a book by reading just the first few pages.

Thank you

 International Literacy Day 8 September 2021

"Let us remember: One Book, One Pen, one child and one teacher can change the world"

-   Malala Yousafzai

International Literacy Day 2021: The day spread awareness about the importance of literacy. Therefore, it is necessary to raise the literary issues faced by people across the world.
The theme of International Literacy Day 2020 according to the UN is "Literacy teaching
and learning in the COVID-19 crisis and beyond." The theme highlights literacy learning
from a lifelong learning perspective and therefore focuses on youth and adults.

International Literacy Day 2021: It is observed on 8 September across the globe to
promote and support the development of literacy and skills, universal access to quality
education, and learning opportunities throughout people’s lives. 

International Literacy Day: History

On 26 October 1966, UNESCO proclaimed 8 September as International Literacy Day to
combat worldwide issues of illiteracy. The purpose was not only to combat illiteracy but also to promote literacy as a tool that could empower individuals as well as whole communities.
Due to this many people around the globe will get employment opportunities and will improve
their lives. Do you know that the idea of an International Literacy Day was born at the World
Conference of Ministers of Education on the eradication of illiteracy held in Tehran in 1965?
This day was also adopted as the part of UN's sustainable development goals program in 2015.
The issue of literacy is a key component of the UN's Sustainable Development Goals and the UN's 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development.

Importance of International Literacy Day

UNESCO has been central to improve literacy worldwide and that is why promotes
International Literacy Day in partnership with governments, charities, local communities,
and experts in the field worldwide. By adopting various themes every year wants to turn attention
on literacy in all its forms in a changing world. No doubt without literacy we can't make changes in
the world and also can't improve our living being.

According to UNESCO "Literacy is the best remedy" which is the key to the right for all to an education. Also, we all know that UNESCO sustainable development goals mobilise
efforts to eradicate poverty and inequalities across the world, and improving literacy
rates are an integral element.

NATIONAL LIBRARIAN'S DAY

 

National Librarian Day 12 August

 Celebration of National Librarian’s Day

The National Librarian’s Day celebrated on 12th August 2021 on the
129th birth anniversary of Padmashri Dr. S. R. Ranganathan, the father of Library
Science in India.

Short Biography of Padmashri Dr.S.R.Ranganathan

Ranganathan, born on 12th August 1892, came from a moderate background in
British-ruled India. He wasb born in the small town of Shiyali (now known as
Sirkazhi), in the state of Tamil Nadu in southern India.

Ranganathan began his professional life as a mathematician; he earned B.A.
and M.A. degrees in mathematics from Madras Christian College
in his home province, and then went on to earn a teaching
license. His lifelong goal was to teach mathematics, and
he was successively a member of them mathematics
faculties at universities in Mangalore, Coimbatore and
Madras (all within the span of five years). 

As a mathematics professor, he published a handful of
papers, mostly on the history of mathematics. His career
as an educator was somewhat hindered by a
handicap of stammering (a difficulty Ranganathan
gradually overcame in his professional life). The
Government of India awarded padmashri to Dr. S.R.
Ranganathan for valuable contributions to Library Science.

Five Laws of Library Science:

• Books are for use

• Every reader his/her book

• Every book, its reader

• Save the time of the reader

• A library is a growing organism

August 12th is being celebrated as National Librarian’s Day in India, in
remembrance of national professor of library science, Dr S R Ranganathan
(1892-1972), who had spearheaded library development in India.

Things to do during vacation

 Theme- Improve your skills during vacation

Summer vacation is an important time for children. It is a very interesting and entertaining season for them as they get a chance to eat favorite fruits and ice cream. They also enjoy long school closures during the summer holidays. but you can utilize this vacation in efficient manner. so I am giving you some tips/ suggestion for this:-

1. Improve your vocabulary.

Student's success in school and life is linked to the size of their vocabulary, the research says. So I request to everyone please learn at least 10 new words in a day. This will really help you to improve yourself.

2.Read.

    I strongly recommend that you read these books:-

•  who can win: shiv khera
• The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People
• How to Win Friends & Influence People
• Think and Grow Rich 
• Awaken The Giant Within, by Anthony Robbins
• Screw It Lets Do It: Lessons in Life, by Richard Branson
• The Art of Happiness, by Dalai Lama
• The Four Agreements, by Don Miguel Ruiz
• The Magic of Thinking Big, by David J Schwartz.

you can read online as well as through many apps. so please go through this👆

3.Learn about a country or place you don’t know much about.

The world is a fascinating place filled with fascinating countries and cities.This school holiday, take some time to learn about the history and culture of a country or place you aren’t familiar with. But during lockdown, you can't go anywhere so you can visit online by map or any other means.

4. Develop healthy habits.

Nathaniel Emmons once said, “Habit is either the best of servants or the worst of masters.”

These are possible habits to develop this school holiday:

• Daily reflection
• Reading for 15 minutes before bed
• Keeping a gratitude journal
• Getting on a regular sleep schedule
• Drinking more water

 5.Read articles on how to become a happy, successful student.

6.Pick up a new hobby.

You will probably feel bored at some point during the school holidays. That’s the time to pick up a new hobby like…

• Juggling
• Gardening
• Playing the ukulele
• Dancing
• Photography
• Stargazing 

7. Write thank-you notes.

• Many people say “thank you” via text message or email. But few people write actual thank-you notes. This school holiday, become one of those people.

8. Visit museums.

A trip to a museum will make you more knowledgeable, and you’ll probably leave feeling inspired too. You can visit online during this pandemic.

9. Learn a new skill.

You could learn skills like…

• Public speaking
• Cooking
• Drawing
• Self-defense
• Negotiation
• Listening
• Positive thinking

10. Improve your physical health.

You have more time during the school holidays. So this is a great opportunity to start sleeping well exercising regularly, and eating healthy.

11. Learn a new language.

Visit these websites and learn a new language:

https://www.duolingo.com/

I hope this will really help you to utilize this summer vacation wisely. 

Thank You,
