Importance of Glaciers Preservation

WORLD WATER DAY

SAVE THE GLACIERS Preserve The Melting Glaciers

सहती गङ्गा सरस्ती गङ्गा : Ganga 'The river of Life'

गङ्गा होकर तुम पल पल इतना सहती क्यों हो । हम कूड़ा डालें डालें गंदा पानी। थकती उठती कल कल इतना सरस्ती क्यों हो ।। गङ्गा होकर तुम पल पल इतना सहती क्यों हो।

Vultures : The Most Prominent Scavenger of Bird Species

Vultures - Have been given special regard in Indian Cultures Vultures - Are large to medium-sized birds Vultures - Are considered nature’s most efficient scavenger. Vultures - Don't hunt rather feed on rotten carcasses Vultures - Prevent the spread of deadly and contagious diseases like brucellosis, rabies, anthrax, plague, tuberculosis, etc. vultures - Occupy unique niche and remain at the top of numerous food chains in the ecosystem. Vultures - Help in maintaining the ecological balance of the ecosystem Vultures - In today's Scenario, Experiencing A drastic or abrupt decline in their population can have negative impact on the ecosystem. It is learnt that there are almost 23 species of vultures, on whole earth, categorized into two non-related groups, old world vulture (OWV) and new world vulture (NWV). OWVs belong to order 'Accipitriformes' and are more related to BUZZARDS, KITES, EAGLES and HARRIERS [Brown and Amadon, 1968]. While the NWVs belongs to order Cathartiformes and are related to STORKS. Out of 23, 16 species belong to OWVs and 7 species to NWVs Of the total OWVs, 9 vulture species are found in India. These include Himalayan vulture (Gyps himalayensis), White-rumped vulture (Gyps bengalensis), Long-billed vulture (Gyps indicus), Slender-billed vulture (Gyps tenuirostris), Red-headed vulture (Sarcogyps calvus), Cinereous vulture (Aegypius monachus),Egyptian vulture (Neophron percnopterus), Bearded vulture (Gypaetus barbatus) and Eurasian Griffon (Gyps fulvus). Of these 9 species, Cinereous vulture and Eurasian Griffon are migratory species, and rest other 7 are resident species to India. but Himalayan vulture is a regional migrant with different wintering and breeding sites within Indian states. According to International Union for the Conservation of Nature (IUCN), White-rumped vulture (WRV), Long-billed vulture (LBV), Slender-billed vulture (SBV) and Red-headed vulture (RHV) are enlisted as critically endangered; Egyptian vulture (EV) as endangered; Bearded vulture (BV), Cinereous vulture (CV) and Himalayan vulture (HV) as near threatened; Griffon vulture (GV) as least concern.

Causes of decline in population of Vultures: Excess Human greed ensuring intervention in the Natural cycle leading to Food Shortage to Vultures Increase in Human Population leading to concrete Jungles as a result Habitat destrcution for these scavangers Exposure to diclofenac, a Non steroidal anti-inflammatory drug that is inmgested with the consumption of carcasses of livestock contaminated with this NSAID. This drug causes kidney failure follwed by death (Green et al.,2004; Oaks et al 2004). Though MoEFCC has banned the use and production by year 2006. Illegal Trade of body parts Electrocution due to high tension wires Electromagnetic radiations

Considering this scenario there can be chances as follows: * There may be an high upsurge in numbers of carcasses leading to proliferation of pathogens and vectors leading to diseases in living beings including anthrax, rabies, tuberculosis etc. This will ultimately bring pollution to Air, Water and soil.. * There can be an increase in the numbers of facultative scavengers (vulture’s substitute) e.g., feral dogs, rodents etc. This may percolate into animals as zoonotic diseases inclduing plagues, rabies etc. Vultures provide many services to the human society and natural environment, most notably carcass disposal. These services directly or indirectly affect human health, economic activity, and environmental quality. Considering the gradual decline in the vulture population, if the numbers drop abruptly or even if they become extinct, two consequences are going to happen, Efforts to Prevent population decline of Vultures : International Vulture Awareness Day (IVAD) is celebrated on First saturday of September each year. MoEFCC has banned the use and production by year 2006 Its time for a sustainable action.....Ornithologist and related NGOs working in Environment should come forward to save The Vultures.

PEACOCK - The National Bird The Indian peacock, Pavo cristatus, the national bird of India, is a colourful, swan-sized bird, with a fan-shaped crest of feathers, a white patch under the eye and a long, slender neck. The male of the species is more colourful than the female, with a glistening blue breast and neck and a spectacular bronze-green tail of around 200 elongated feathers. The female is brownish, slightly smaller than the male and lacks the tail. The elaborate courtship dance of the male, fanning out the tail and preening its feathers is a gorgeous sight.

Landline & Mobile Phones and present world of our generation :

Landline was and still is single point of bonding since long. With incoming of Mobile phones made all relations mobile... As the name indicates it makes everything mobile... We at our home must make a common location to place all mobiles. It's normal to have minimum two phones with atleast 2 sims.
We must keep our Kids away from mobile 📱 phones. Radiations, too much affection for these gadgets, concentrate approach of kid towards these electronic gadgets are few of many reasons that support my statement to keep these mobile gadgets away from children.
Parents must set examples by using less mobiles when at homes.
Let's keep our family safe, intact and always happy. https://eehcjournal.wordpress.com/

@Raghuvanshi0030_Cleanliness is Individual's Choice

Cleanliness is next to Godliness. I am sure we all understand exact meaning of this phrase. Further to add i state Cleanliness is Individual's Choice to excercise. One may choose to stay dirty /in unclean place/ an area with garbage around or buying or eating things with around us while most will prefer to move away from unclean, filthy or dirty area. Most our bus stations or road side areas are unpaved hence with little air of high velocity or with moment of vehicles or man machine or material movement rising of dirt in ambient areas is a must. In addition to it if suitably analysed in any Environmental laboratory it can be understood that there prevails dust laiden with millions of microbes, bacteria and heavy metals as well. This dust sits on open food or eatables in the open shops or open adjusted shop. Once consumed these foods from these shops or temporary adjusted shop (attached pictures 1&2) brings not only illness but numerous diseases as well.
Let's change this habit of bringing our human systems exposed to bacteria virus or others ill-health causing actions.
Learn to say No and aware all on such foods from open shops.
Live a Happy Journey Called life.

@Raghuvanshi0029_No-Smoking-Smoking

What an misery... Say it unawareness, laziness, addiction... Whatever... But it's an breach of etiquettes that prevail in attached picture.
This is the head of your page. This is the body of your page. Very common but very true... People just don't count the ethics... don't follow the rules, though they know all.. Some feel its their Greatness in breaking the rule... Some receive enhanced shock of adrenalin in breaking and some exhibit their beastness by escaping the authorities and by putting dust in their eyes (आँखो में धूल झोंकना).
Any moral of note is... As a responsible citizens of India we should follow rules. Just join our steps Towards Nature. www.towardsnature.org

In the picture attached let's assume it really happened... Yes it happened.. How far do we think the guy on bike is not putting the life at risk of the two tiny flowers 🌸.
Hope no further people do same.. Let's keep our Kids our world safe. Before implementing any out of box wild idea... Always do think the worst it can bring to us as outcome... God bless us All.
Have a safe wonderful journey called 'life'.

@Raghuvanshi0025_Why Kites flying attached with Makar Sankranti festival?

मकर संक्रांति पतंग उड़ाने का कारण - एक रोचक विश्लेषण ?
प्रसिद्ध धार्मिक ग्रंथ 'रामचरित मानस' के आधार पर श्रीराम ने अपने भाइयों के साथ पतंग उड़ाई थी। इस संदर्भ में 'बालकांड' में उल्लेख मिलता है-

'राम इक दिन चंग उड़ाई।
इन्द्रलोक में पहुंची जाई।।'

बड़ा ही रोचक प्रसंग है। पंपापुर से हनुमानजी को बुलवाया गया था, तब हनुमानजी बालरूप में थे। जब वे आए, तब 'मकर संक्रांति' का पर्व था। श्रीराम भाइयों और मित्र मंडली के साथ वे पतंग उड़ाने लगे। कहा गया है कि वह पतंग उड़ते हुए देवलोक तक जा पहुंची। उस पतंग को देखकर इंद्र के पुत्र जयंत की पत्नी बहुत आकर्षित हो गई। वह उस पतंग और पतंग उड़ाने वाले के प्रति सोचने लगी-
This is the head of your page. This is the body of your page. 'जासु चंग अस सुन्दरताई।
सो पुरुष जग में अधिकाई।।'

इस भाव के मन में आते ही उसने पतंग को हस्तगत कर लिया और सोचने लगी कि पतंग उड़ाने वाला अपनी पतंग लेने के लिए अवश्य आएगा। वह प्रतीक्षा करने लगी। उधर पतंग पकड़ लिए जाने के कारण पतंग दिखाई नहीं दी, तब बालक श्रीराम ने बाल हनुमान को उसका पता लगाने के लिए रवाना किया।

पवनपुत्र हनुमान आकाश में उड़ते हुए इंद्रलोक पहुंच गए। वहां जाकर उन्होंने देखा कि एक स्त्री उस पतंग को अपने हाथ में पकड़े हुए है। उन्होंने उस पतंग की उससे मांग की।

उस स्त्री ने पूछा- 'यह पतंग किसकी है?'

हनुमानजी ने रामचंद्रजी का नाम बताया। इस पर उसने उनके दर्शन करने की अभिलाषा प्रकट की।

हनुमानजी यह सुनकर लौट आए और सारा वृत्तांत श्रीराम को कह सुनाया। श्रीराम ने यह सुनकर हनुमानजी को वापस वापस भेजा कि वे उन्हें चित्रकूट में अवश्य ही दर्शन देंगे। हनुमानजी ने यह उत्तर जयंत की पत्नी को कह सुनाया जिसे सुनकर जयंत की पत्नी ने पतंग छोड़ दी।
कथन है कि-

'तिन तब सुनत तुरंत ही, दीन्ही छोड़ पतंग।
खेंच लइ प्रभु बेग ही, खेलत बालक संग।।'
