Aircraft carriers will deter China

IN THE NEXT fortnight or so, we will witness the commissioning of India’s second aircraft carrier, Vikrant—the first to be designed and built in our country. This is surely a red-letter day for all Indians, in general, and the people in whites, in particular.

We need three aircraft carriers

WITH INS VIKRANT joining the fleet, most likely on the western sea board, the Indian Navy would again be having two carriers, just as it did when it had the old Vikrant and Viraat together in the eighties.

PAPER CRISIS: EDUCATIONAL FUTURE OF CHILD IN DANGER!

Paper as a commodity has always been a vital aspect of our country's educational system. The education system was particularly hard hit by the COVID Pandemic, with each stakeholder being negatively affected by the onslaught of regular lockdowns. With the schools closing down, our student community, the future of our country, faced a bleak period of uncertainty. Textbooks and printed educational material, which had traditionally been the backbone of our learning methodology, were particularly disrupted with the advent of online methods of teaching and learning. But it is clear that the offline education system and classroom teaching hold much more importance than online teaching methods.
