Project Tiger was launched in 1973, and it is considered as one of the most prime conservation efforts in the country. Project Tiger aimed to conserve the natural habitat of the tiger. The survival of the tiger was looked at from the logic of it being at the apex of the food chain and hence it followed that the natural habitat was to be sustained. Project Tiger suffers from various problems – delayed and inadequate funds, poaching, grazing, encroachment, and inadequacy of staff both in training and in numbers.It is believed that the true increase in tiger numbers may have been considerably lower. Reports of widespread poaching of tigers in two of the premier Tiger Reserves of North India-Sariska and Ranthambore have been in news recently. Despite all of this, there is little doubt that there was a significant improvement in the situation of the tiger after the launch of Project Tiger. Recently a National Tiger Conservation Authority was established for better management of the project.

Every once in ,a while, I am surrounded by a thought that what if I was invisible? There are so many things one could do being invisible, it just depends on our creativity and thought process. But if I am ever blessed with the power of invisibility, I will use it positively. I can monitor crime being invisible no one would know I am there and, in this way, I could catch the criminals. I can visit forests without being afraid of the animals. I can help people by monitoring if the services at hospitals, NGOs, etc. are carried out properly. I can visit factories to see if they have appointed child labour.

A burglary took place in Mr. Ravikant’s house last night at 11:30 p.m. when he with his wife was out of the city and his housekeeper was left alone in the house. A police inspector who is in charge of the case came to Mr. Ravikant’s housekeeper for certain inquiries. The housekeeper told him that it was a terrible experience to see a burglar right away in the front with a dreadful knife. He was 6ft tall and well-built. He was not thin but rather plump. His clothes were old and faded. He was wearing a faded black shirt and dark shade-either blue or black trousers. He had straight black hair and an oval face with grey eyes. He had a dark complexion and he was wearing spectacles with a plastic frame and his nose was rather sharp. His lips were quite thick. The housekeeper also noticed the six fingers on his right hand. The Policeman assures him that they will make sketches on the basis of the above description to nab him.

rom morning till bedtime, scientific inventions fill our lives with comforts. Even a single day of a common man is filled with so many gadgets that we hardly appreciate it. A person’s morning is greeted with an alarm. Whether it is an alarm clock or a mobile phone, we are no longer awakened with the cock crowing. Our first sight is that of a gadget followed by another gadget, i.e., lights. Once you get up, you tend to visit the bathroom. Modem bathrooms are a haven of technological advancements. Geysers, hair dryers, showers and bath tubs – all entail a touch of science. Travelling to your place of education or work is also a scientific ride. Whether you take a bus, a train or a private car, it is science that gives you access to these comfortable means of transport. In school or at work, we face an array of devices.White boards or digiboards, laptops, projectors, even the fans and lights that we use are inventions of science. We cannot think of working or studying without these gadgets. Lunch time means cooking, modem kitchens are filled with appliances. From vegetable cutters to pressure cookers, juicers to grinders, it is science that has become our chef. Washing utensils and clothes has become convenient due to the presence of dish washers and washing machines. Cleaning the floor is easier for us due to vacuum cleaners and advanced mops. Even the soaps and detergent powders that we use are so designed by science that they cut down on dirt completely. Mobiles have become mandatory; in fact, some individuals have more than one phone for work or leisure. With digitalisation, money vending machines are a common sight. Online shopping has become a reality and pharmacy can be bought at finger tips. Thus, science and technology has made our lives comfortable indeed.

Every once in a while, we are surrounded by a thought that what if I was invisible. There are so many things one could do being invisible, it just depends on our creativity and thought process. But if I am ever blessed with the power of invisibility, I will use it positively. I can monitor crime being invisible no one would know I am there and, in this way, I could catch the criminals. I can visit forests without being afraid of the animals. I can help people by monitoring if the services at hospitals, NGOs, etc. are carried out properly. I can visit factories to see if they have appointed child labour or if their workers are working in a degraded environment and can get them reported. Being invisible will give me the power to see the world differently. Everything will seem transparent as I can witness it all. It would be great if an ability like this would be used in a positive way to abolish crime.
