Often, we assume that only studies can make the future bright of the student but it is not necessary nowadays co-curricular activities have a great impact on students and their career. Many students take up the option of learning music or dance a subject in senior secondary school. There are many additional subjects that are added to the same. For students it is just a way to earn marks but for some it becomes a passion there are so many students after completing their schooling rather than becoming a teacher, doctor or a lawyer they love to opt for music education, home science, art education or dance education etc. some even wants to pursue a PHD in the co-curricular activities. The impact on the students is vast and has offered them with various opportunity. The modern education is supported by the parents but some still are orthodox. There is a special excuse given to the student who did not attend math or any other subject class because they were gaining more knowledge in their interested field [co-curricular activity].


What is the meaning of co-curricular activity?

Typically, co-curricular activities are those activities that are undertaken outside the normal classrooms which helps the student to enhance their creativity and helps them to grow in the field that they truly want to achieve. These activities help students to develop better communication skills, confidence, critical thinking, problem solving and creative skills. It helps the student to think and enhance a career out of the box and they are not just burdened to be a doctor or an engineer. Some of the co-curricular activity are made compulsory in some schools such as singing, dancing or drama and some are voluntary such as sports, school debating or quiz etc. other than this it helps the student to develop emotionally, physically and mentally and most importantly it opens door for achieving more in life. Some of the colleges have reserved some part of admission on the basis of the co-curricular activity in school this has encouraged many students to achieve what they want to other than following normal academic study. These activities mainly take place either after the school or before the school starts this is the reason, they are known to be co-curricular activity.

Why recycling should be necessary? ( by Neha Soni ) Why should we recycle? A question that is always around us but we fantastically ignore it. So why do we do that? Why don’t we recycle things or at least make some habits in our schools, colleges, or workplace that will segregate the recyclable products? The answer is simple- we are either not bothered or not have enough knowledge of the importance of recycling. Recycling is a process in which waste materials are converted into new materials and products. The new products which are formed are used, again get recycled and the cycle repeats. This is done to prevent excessive usage of raw materials and will help us in preserving the environment. Recycling is one of the main components of a waste management system and is the third component of the “Reduce, Reuse, and Recycle" waste motto. Thus, recycling aims at environmental sustainability by substituting staple inputs into recyclable waste outputs.   Products which can...
