Question 37.
(a) Right to education act 2009:
(b) Midday meal:
(c) Television a companion and spoiler:
Answer:
(a) Right to education act 2009:
RTE, the Right to ,Education Act, is a welcome sign from the government. It provides even the children of poor families to pursue their studies in good, private schools. The fee of the child will be borne by the government and education is absolutely free .But even now, some schools have shut their doors to the poor and hope with proper measures,’ the governments will make this a reality in all the schools. So far, children from low income background were not able to pursue their hopes due to the fee structure of certain schools. RTE has come as a saviour for those who cannot afford a good education. Every child is contributing to the future and anything that helps them will be beneficial to the society in return.

(b) Midday meal:
Midday meal scheme is in place in Govt and aided schools-with the aim to provide proper food for the children who belong to a cast out section just because they were poor. It is a good, unparalleled gesture as it not only takes care of the hunger but motivate more and more poor parents to provide education to their children. The midday meal takes care of the nutritional demand of the children. ISKON and some other agencies also supply free food to the children. This good will gesture is nurturing the needs of a section of the society and the help they do to these poor children is something very noble for if the stomach is empty, no one can benefit from a good teaching.

(c) Television a companion and spoiler:
Television, popularly known as fool’s box, has out lived its nick name. It has not only an important member of our family now who gives us company when we are alone, but also a knowledge box. In the present world of nuclear families, where no one has time for any one, children and adults equally depend on this magic box. The entertainment it brings to our otherwise boring days is incomparable. News channels bring us worldwide happenings to our home and channels like NGC and Discovery bring the world of animals and plants to our visiting room. Serials relieve house wives of their loneliness and devotional programmes soothes the minds of our grandparents.

But, as a coin has two sides, even this ‘magic box’ has its disadvantages. Children getting addicted to cartoon channels, house wives getting addicted to serials and youth getting influenced by entertainment channels have become a social issue. This wonder box has made us its slave to such an extent that we are not able to be free from its clutches. Its influence started affecting the once warm relations. If used wisely and judiciously, I think TV can remain as our companion.
