Question 3. ——-
Sir,

Through the column of your esteemed daily, I would like to express my concern over non-segregation of waste. Waste segregation is the separation of wet waste and dry waste. The generation of waste is unavoidable and the materials carried in this waste impacts human and environmental health. This segregation is all the more important as dry waste can be recycled and wet waste can be composted. When we segregate waste, there is reduction of waste that reaches landfills and occupies space. Air and water pollution rates are considerably reduced and makes it easier to apply different processes of Composting, Recycling and Incineration can be applied to different kinds of waste.

The RWA scan play a pivotal role in encouraging the households through a few minor changes. They need to sensitize the households to have two garbage disposal bins at home, one for dry waste and one for wet waste. Items like aluminum foils, tetra packs, glass, paper, plastics, metals, etc., fall under the dry waste category, whereas kitchen waste such as stale food, fruits and vegetables come under wet waste.

This can be done using door-to-door meetings with residents and by distributing information, education and communication material, organizing orientation programs on solid-waste management and training waste collectors on the segregation and composting of garbage. RWAs can regularly impart awareness to domestic helpers and residents in order to emphasize segregation and waste reduction at the source so that a minimum amount of waste goes to a landfill.
To conclude, segregation of waste is an important matter and must be adhered to all levels. I hope that this

Question 4. ——–

Recently, a book fair has been conducted in the city. Your newspaper had given a wide and a quality coverage to the book fair. It was a great pleasure to understand that the book fair was attended by thousands of persons which included a huge number of students also. The publishers are also happy that they have got such a good response from the public. In the world, where internet has conquered everyone, it is very surprising to find people still interested in books. Going to a book fair and showing enthusiasm is remarkable indeed. I also visited the book fair. When I first went there, I did not expect a crowd at the book fair as nowadays very few people read books and that too at the release of e-books.

However, as I entered, I could still see the excitement in the people. The arrangements were all perfect. The people there were all well-read and knew exactly the books that the readers might want to read. There were different kinds of books talking about different things. After seeing this, I felt people should know that the essence of reading from a book in your hand has still not gone. The different smell of each book is one of its kind which is not available in an e-book. Through the column of your esteemed newspaper, I want to bring it to the attention of the organisers to organise such book fairs in other cities of the state also.

Sir,
Through the column of your esteemed newspaper, I would like to Question 3. ———– towards the
declining importance of sports and games in the country.

Even after millions of rupees being allocated for the improvement of sports and games in the country, our ranking in the international arena is declining. Millions of sportspersons who have the ability to bring laurels to the country do not have the right infrastructure, coaches, and the facilities to support them.
We need to encourage talent at the local level by improving the facilities at the local level, i.e., in schools and clubs so that young people can get enough training and enter the national level with expertise. This will ensure a large pool of young talented sports persons who can be groomed.
This is a matter of concern and I would request you to publish my opinion in your esteemed newspaper and help draw the attention of the sports ministry as well as the general public towards this issue.

Subject- Q1. ———
Sir,

Through the column of your esteemed daily, I would like to highlight the Importance of Women Education. ‘Education is light – brighter than that of sun’. Education not only removes ignorance but also makes a person conscious, skilled and productive. Despite many efforts, the level of women education in our country is still poor. Researches in many countries show if the mother is well educated then the children will be healthier and better-fed. They will perform better at school. Hence, women education contributes in the smooth running of family. Female education is the Question 2.——–. Education must be utilized as the best method of women empowerment and sustainable development.

It is rightly said that we educate a man, we educate a man only, but if we educate a woman, we educate the whole family. Let us first see the reasons why females are denied of their right to education. Unfortunately, social norms and cultural factors lead people to think that girls don’t require education. Secondly, a lot of parents are very fearful about sending their girls to school due to lack of safety. Besides this, the girls are considered a valuable resource for household chores and agricultural work.

Parents are more focused on teaching them how to cook and do other household chores. Poverty also plays an important reason behind the low rate of women’s education in India. First of all, we have to understand what role women’s education in our society plays. Education is our Question 3. —— and no education system must face gender discrimination. Through this letter, I appeal to all the parents to break the disparity between male and female education and must send their children to schools irrespective of their gender.
