Parrikar’s Watermelons

The whole world is looking to India as a Spiritual Leader. Unfortunately, hardly few are aware of the great heritage we have carried! There is a story behind this which could motivate all of us to carry our heritage to young generation. To educate for the same, LATE SHRI MANOHAR PARRIKAR, the former Chief Minister of Goa, gave a story which strongly influences that how important it is for the young generation to know their culture and how are we losing it if not taken seriously.
"I am from the village of Parra in Goa, hence we are called Parrikars. My village is famous for its watermelons. When I was a child, the farmers would organize a watermelon-eating contest at the end of the harvest season in May. All the kids would be invited to eat as many watermelons as they wanted. Years later, I went to IIT Mumbai to study engineering. I went back to my village after 6.5 years. I went to the market looking for watermelons. They were all gone. The ones that were there were so small. I went to see the farmer who hosted the watermelon-eating contest. His son had taken over. He would host the contest but there was a difference. When the older farmer gave us watermelons to eat he would ask us to spit out the seeds into a bowl. We were told not to bite into the seeds. He was collecting the seeds for his next crop. We were unpaid child laborers, actually. He kept his best watermelons for the contest and he got the best seeds which would yield even bigger watermelons the next year. His son, when he took over, realized that the larger watermelons would fetch more money in the market so he sold the larger ones and kept the smaller ones for the contest. The next year, the watermelons were smaller, the year later even small. 
In watermelons, the generation is one year while in humans, generations change after 25 years. In seven years, Parra's best watermelons were finished. It will take us 200 years to figure what we were doing wrong while educating our children. Unless we employ our best to train the next generation, this is what can happen to us so we must attract the best into teaching profession for which RBMI, Bareilly fits the great place and still spreads the heritage to young generation. 
Great story indeed! Each one of us is responsible to offer our best culture to next generation!

Mission Shakti: Why the ASAT Missile test is important for India? 
The UN General Assembly is also trying to bring about an international legally binding document on the prevention of an arms race in outer space. 
On Wednesday our Honorable Prime Minister Shri Narendra Modi made a big announcement that India has become the fourth country after US, Russia and China to acquire the capability of space warfare. An anti-satellite missile the one that was fired by the scientist of DRDO can target an LEO satellite. The Missile can completely destroy the satellite in the LEO range. Low Earth Orbit or LEO refers to an altitude up-to 2000 kilometer. A Satellite in LEO can monitor activities on ground and even under the water surface. Such a satellite can be used for pose serious threats to the country's security in the instances of war. 
Honorable Prime Minister Modi listed two reasons for explaining why Wednesday’s Mission Shakti was so special: 

  1. Firstly, India is the fourth country to acquire such a specialized and modern capability. 
  2. Other reason is that entire effort is indigenous. 

On Wednesday current DRDO chairman Shri G. Satheesh Reddy according to News Agency said, "We have mastered anti-satellite capability and we have today shown that we can hit satellite at long range with few centimeters of accuracy". 
India has although no intention of entering into an arms race in outer space and at the same time is against the weaponization of outer space but supports the International efforts to reinforce the safety and security of space based assets. The test was done to verify that India has the capability to safeguard their space assets as it is the responsibility of Government of India to defend their country's interest in outer space. 
The government is committed to ensure the country's national security interest and is alter to threats from emerging Technologies as well. RBMI Bareilly feels very proud for this capability which is achieved through the anti-satellite missile test that provides credible deterrence against threats to our growing space-based assets from long range missiles and proliferation in the types & number of missiles.

Indian General Election 2019

It is the right thing to say that the Indian general election 2019 is quite unpredictable.
Not only are the number of voters in the election 2019 important but also their individualities are essential. If we generalize the Census of 2011, around 2 crore children turn into 18 years old each year. Once the election 2019 comes around, there will possibly or supposedly be, 10 crore electorates for the first time. Every person does not get listed with the ECI (Election Commission of India) however it is a group that no party-political might think to overlook. The main concern and opportunity for the political parties fall in the information that the amount of first-time electorates in India for election 2019 is huge. As per the data of ECI, around 2.7 crores of the young generation falling between the ages of 18 years to 20 years is previously listed in the electoral rolls.
First-time electorates act contrarily. They are not only tech-savvy and more educated but also well informed in comparison to their entire family as the use of technology has made them ready with all updates. Even all the members and youth of RBMI, Bareilly is also well aware about the 2K19 elections and is eager to cast their vote to the right candidate. They might have an opinion in election 2019 which goes in contrast to the conventional political likings of the family. They might also possess an influence on election 2019 by performing as the outlook- creators and influencers inside their family circle as well as friends.

As soon as the huge fight of election 2019 is arriving, the party-political are over an overdrive to involve with the young voters. One of the immense questions today is that which alliance or political party will thrive in election 2019 along with the attraction of younger voters. We are sure that the connectivity of 4G to the rural part of India and usage of low-cost smartphones will make the battle of election 2019 is probable to be battled exceedingly on phones.
