Spurt of Reality Shows on Television
16th June, 2018
Rajkot
The Indian TV channels have started aping a lot of Western Reality shows. Recently we see a Spurt in reality programmes based on song, dance, comedy and acting. Programmes like ‘Indian Idol’, ‘Sa Re Ga Ma’, ‘Big Boss’ have done well nationally and regionally with good TRP ratings.
The participants are chosen from various cities and then there are elimination rounds and finally the winner is chosen by public opinion through SMS. These programmes provide a platform of recognition to new and upcoming artists who don’t have God fathers to help them.
However, it is believed that the results are rigged. The trend for such shows has caught on and the frenzy is going to take to die down.

Women Empowerment
From ancient times women have been considered inferior to men. They lived a subordinate life totally dependent on men. A woman’s place was in the home doing household work while men had more freedom. House-work is a non-paying activity so an earning man was considered superior to a woman.
With the passage of time it became necessary for women to enact dual roles of bread earner and home-maker. Today women command respect and have done well in all fields of life. They have scaled new heights whether it is science and technology, business, engineering, space science, office, medicine, mountaineering, sports or others.
If a woman is educated her wards will be educated and if she is illiterate her family will suffer.
In the field of education the girls have done better than boys. No longer are women the ‘weaker sex’. They dominate most walks of life and occupy top most positions.
What they require from the government is support in the form of security and equality. Then they will be able to do well and play a major role in the progress of the country.
It is rightly said, ‘The hand that rocks the cradle rules the world.’

8th July, 2018
Palanpur
The students of K B High School enacted a street play on ‘Save the girl child’. The birth of a girl is looked upon as a burden in society and the sex ratio in the country has shown an alarming decrease. The play revolved around a housewife, harassed by her in - laws because she had two girls and they forced her to give them a boy child to carry on
the family lineage. The lady was pregnant and the sonography showed that she was carrying another girl child.
The family cursed her and wanted her to abort the fetus but the lady battled to save her child. The husband understood the situation and sided with his wife. He knew that a third child was going to be difficult to look after considering his meagre income but he wanted to save his child though family planning was a must. The Play highlighted that a woman should not become an enemy of her own sex. Women must stand up for their rights.

The Problem of Brain Drain
Migration of people from home country to work and live in another country is called ‘Brain Drain,’ Every country strives at giving good education to its students with the hope that when they start working they will pay back the country and it will reap from what it has invested into them. The sad fact is that as soon as students get their professional qualifications, they prefer to look out for a job abroad. India has a severe problem of ‘Brain Drain’. Migration to other countries stems from economic motivation and better job opportunities. Countries abroad appear like greener pastures. Educated people are lured to foreign countries because of better facilities for further research and they get attracted to the recognition they get from people abroad. Even average people with no skill prefer to do blue collar jobs abroad because they earn in dollars and pounds. This problem however, is not very serious now, considering the population explosion in our country, the government is happy that people are getting jobs elsewhere so that unemployment decreases in the country. Also there is a hope that they will invest their savings in the country and help its economy.

Price rise
Price rise means increase in the cost of living. This situation arises because the population increases and there isn’t enough for everyone. Price rise is a manmade problem. As the income of the people increases, their demand for things also increases. The cost of all the items keeps increasing.
Producers of goods and services are interested in more profits so they increase the price. For example a farmer increases the price of his food crop, while a mill owner increases the price of the cloth he makes.
Price rise has also increased in India because of increase in the price of fuel products for transportation and running of machinery. When the price increases, the rich people are not much affected. Only the poor and middle class suffer due to price rise.
From the time our country became free from British rule we have not been able to control price rise. If prices are controlled, people can buy more things with their income and can lead a happy and satisfied life. The government must work to bring down the prices in the country.
