Letter to President of India - Problems of Mother INDIA

I wish you to read this letter of mine in which I’ve  expressed my thoughts and dreams about our great country.

First of all let me  introduce myself. I’m Surabhi of 10th standard studying in Rotary West  School in Mysore.

I wish to get a chance to talk to you, but don’t know  if my dream can be made to. So I thought I will at least correspond  with you because I know what ever busy schedule you have you always make  yourself free to spend some time for children.

I’ve strongly made up my mind to do something for our country though not as much as you expect  at least a little to make my memories in this earth a happy one.

I’ve  started gathering information about Pollution, Population and Poverty. I wish to share with you a bit of information I’ve collected and my  idea about it hoping that you can suggest how well I could go about  planning it. Well I personally feel that it’s not only soldiers who have to  contribute: but also duty of every citizen. Though may not be a big  sacrifice like our soldiers but a little that each can do according to our  capacity. Sir as you know today we are facing many problems, such as  Poverty, Pollution and Population.

I really believe that population is never going to cause much trouble if the manpower is utilized in the right and proper way. We can definitely work, if all take the trouble of educating and guiding others. How can we underestimate ourselves by  comparing to the other countries? And of course Poverty will never be found  if we take care of Population. They go as the two faces of the same  coin. Now only thing, which we need to look into, is Pollution. How can we  contribute to prevent it or even stop it? Here are some examples of  different countries and their care towards nature.

Today many programs to  warn people have been carried out in Europe, America Australia and  Japan. They also celebrate the world pollution day like us; but in a  different way. The earth protecting soldiers of ‘green peace’ climbs the  chimneys of the big industries, which eliminate more smoke, and they will  write, “Pure air is our right”. They will put enamel paint on the seals  to see that no hunter is going to hunt them for their skin. They also  tie the mouth of the pipes inside the rivers, which will be lead out by  the industries.

Not only this: in 1995 there was a special program to  find the small beautiful insects called Ladybird in Britain. A number  of students, children and also many people searched all over and at  last, they did find many species of Ladybird. Another such group work was  regarding the frogs. Many frogs while crossing the roads in rainy season  die under vehicles passing through on roads. To avoid this the young  students help them in crossing the roads. The most amazing thing is; they adopt the highway, which pass through their place and look after them  with care. They never wait for the government to come and repair the  road because they really can’t be patient till a decision could be taken  by the Government and getting through loss their life because in their  action only the minds of students are involved.

In some parts of America they adopt rivers. There will be river wardens to look after those  rivers. The government will give a badge to them so that they will be  provided employment and also a good recognition. They will be paid for  their work. By all these people get employment and there will be no  pollution and cleanliness will be maintained.

Though all these can’t be  taken overnight but it has become a part of their daily routine, which we  are very much aware. We do have many solutions for all these problems. I  feel strongly that if we see something good in others it’s better we  adopt them. Anyway we have more natural facilities and we could do  definitely more than anyone. We can conduct Re-Cycling competition in which  new materials have been taken out from waste. In each and every colony  the children of that particular colony can make a group and look after  their colonies. Strictly banning plastic bags can also help to reduce  pollution. Conducting talks on pollution may bring some awareness among  the students. I’m just talking about the children because they are  tomorrow’s citizens.

Now it’s the time to question ourselves as to where we  are lagging behind ? I think children are the one who can make this  country a developed one. But today names of heroes and heroines will be in  the tip of the tongues but not that of freedom fighters. Today seeing  bad films has spoiled the children. We are going abroad and learning  their culture instead of spreading ours. All these because of lack of  patriotic feeling in one’s heart.

Ma’am I don’t know whether I’m right or wrong. But I felt that you are the only person with whom I can share my thoughts because I know that you patiently listen to children. If I have made any mistake please pardon me.
With Love and Regards

Surabhi
