Happy Children's Day : Anti-Poverty Campaign at Swarnima Academy
Every year, students of Swarnima Academy celebrate 'Children's Day' with real enthusiasm. Actually, they contribute this day, to the society. They want to eradicate an evil of our Indian Society - Poverty.
Poverty, as they've already studied in their Text Books and heard, they know it is about those people who can't even earn a day's livelihood to survive. Not everything is Government's Responsibility.
In advancing new Indian society, poverty is like a nightmare, thus they decided to organise such events every year, and have developed a community of their own - 'Young swarnima', and they spend their time in distributing Eatables like Breads, and thermal wears for the winters. Their location of work today was Shani Mandir, Ranchi.

World Animal Day : Take a Pledge!
वन्यजीवों की बहुलता स्वस्थ प्रकृति का सूचक होता है। जब प्रकृति स्वस्थ होगी तब ही हम भी स्वस्थ रह पाएंगे।
सोचो अगर धरती से सारे वन्यजीव समाप्त हो जायेंगे, तो क्या होगा? फिर ये धरती कैसी दिखाई देगी? जंगलों की अंधाधुंध कटाई और मानव की मनमानी की वजह से आज पूरी दुनिया में ऐसे कई जीव हैं, जो विलुप्त होने के कगार पर आ चुके हैं। हालांकि जैव-विविधता के मामले में अपने भारत की स्थिति अभी भी अच्छी है। पर कई लाइफ सेंचुरीज और एनिमल पार्क होने के बावजूद बढ़ते प्रदुषण और शिकार किये जाने की वजह से इन पर खतरा मंडरा रहा है।
इनके प्रति पूरी दुनिया के लोगो में जागरूकता लाने के लिए 4 अक्टूबर को 'वर्ल्ड एनिमल डे' के रूप में मनाया जाता है। इस लेख में हमने भारत के ऐसे जानवरों का भी ज़िक्र किया है जिनके जीवन पर सबसे ज्यादा खतरा मंडरा रहा है.
