M.Ed. College Report 2020-2022

“Teaching is the profession that teaches all the other professions”

-------A.P.J. Abdul Kalam

Teaching is a noble profession. A teacher is the pillar of the nation’s progress. Teachers are one of the most influential people in the world.

Choosing a profession of a teacher is a huge decision that is often underrated. This is a profession that has the huge potential of changing many lives, all at once, for generations.

As is the fact. Only the best institutions with the most competent faculty churn out the best prospects. And thus, located right in the heart of twin cities, with a legacy of 150 plus years of service to society, there’s this wondrous institution of ours that has a serene atmosphere irrespective of the chaos on the other side of the compound wall. And let’s not think there is the use of hyperbole here as it is literally calm on the inside!

A proud owner of a sprawling campus and an equally huge open atrium which was a common sight about 3 to 4 decades ago and which is a rarity these days. Our St. Ann’s College of Education stands tall and proud.

As we all know, a strong foundation is the only deciding factor for the future of a person on project. If genuinely interested, we need to ensure that we have a strong base and for what we need to research a lot and find the best to chisel ourselves.

In this age of everything which is automatic, adulterated service without any genuine interest in the welfare of society, this college lays emphasis on kindness and human emotions, love, sympathy, and empathy, to name a few and makes efforts to mould students to stand true to the college motto, “Serve with Love”.

May God be praised for woman, That gives up all her mind! A man may find in no man

A friendship of her kind, That covers all he has brought As with her flesh and bone, Nor quarrels with a thought Because it is not her own. Though pedantry denies, It's plain the Bible means That Solomon grew wise While talking with his queens; Yet never could, although They say he counted grass, Count all the praises due When Sheba was his lass, When from the smithy fire

It shuddered in the water: Harshness of their desire

That made them stretch and yawn, Pleasure that comes with sleep, Shudder that made them one. What else he give or keep God grant me.

Antonette Roll no: 71 2020-22

Freedom from the self, and therefore the search for reality, the discovery and the coming into being of reality, is the true function of human. But if one becomes aware of this whole process, then there is a possibility for the newly awakened intelligence to function. In that, there is not self-release, not self-fulfilment, but creativeness. It is this creativeness of reality, which is not of time that sets one free from all the business of the collective and the individual. Then one is really in a position to help create the new.

A mind which is constantly acquiring can obviously never be creative. It is only the free mind that is creative. There can be no freedom if every experience is stored up, because that which is accumulated becomes the centre of the “me”, of the “I”.

“Is it possible for the mind to be quite still, in a state of non-recognition or non-experiencing?”

A person has the freedom to do things that will not, in theory or in practice, be prevented by other forces. Outside of the human realm, freedom generally does not have this political or psychological dimension. A rusty lock might be oiled so that the key has the freedom to turn, undergrowth may be hacked away to give a newly planted sapling freedom to grow, or a mathematician may study an equation having many degrees of freedom. In physics or engineering, the mathematical concept may also be applied to a body or system constrained by a set of equations, whose degrees of freedom describe the number of independent motions that are allowed to it.

“Liberty is linked to human subjectivity; freedom is not. The Declaration of Independence, for example, describes men as having liberty and the nation as being free. Free will the quality of being free from the control of fate or necessity may first have been attributed to human will, but Newtonian physics attributes freedom—degrees of freedom, free bodies—to objects.”

HOW TO IMPROVE YOUR SOCIAL SKILLS

Start small, allow yourself to go to places where you’ll have opportunities to use your skills, like a grocery store. When you don’t know where to find something, ask one of the stall clerks to help you.

‘Excuse me, can you please tell me Where? I can find ‘x’? with a smile, it is a good way to ask. When the cashier finishes billing your groceries, smile and say ‘Thank you’.

Ask open-ended questions - Rather than asking someone ’How did your day go’? ask them to speak more about what they did during the day rather than just giving a response like ‘good’ or ‘not good’.

Ask questions about other people – when you ask someone a question about them, it allows them to talk about themselves – which many enjoy doing. When you ask them more questions, it makes them feel that you are interested.

Follow a leader – Do you have friends, siblings or family members who are liked by everyone and have a lot of friends? Such people almost always have excellent social skills. Watch how they behave and talk with other people. Try to pick up some of their good skills.

Educate yourself – When you read more about different topics, you will have more to talk about with other people. Avoid controversial subjects like politics, but follow the news.

Be enthusiastic and pay attention – When you seem excited at what another person is saying, he will like to talk to you all the more.

For some, it is a privilege

For others, it’s a right

The difference between darkness

And a bright future

Some will think a burden

Where others see a gift

The key to moving forward

And to give your life a lift

If school is not your calling

COLLEGE DAYS

Making friends and memories that will last forever in my photo gallery. Learning the lessons that will mold me into the person I wish to be.

Discovering the possibility of choices & chances that I will need.

Wondering about the challenges that lie on whatever road I take.

Listening to my heart, I set a course for the goals I wish to achieve.

And now I begin the journey of my dreams, knowing that all I need is to believe in myself.

I am utter- confused of where humans are heading to, Killings, rape, discrimination, wars have become routine news. Insane race for power has blinded to see inhuman acts, Oh when will we listen to the tiny voice "within".

Security is measured by the nuclear weapons one hold Revenge and retaliation in the form of air raid, Innocent blood of thousands spilling everywhere, Oh have we for got we have a voice "within".

Is it necessary to stand and fight, To prove your might to the world?

Oh let us in silence listen to our conscience, for the voice "within" is ingenuous.

Isn’t it so powerful?

To be cherished by another animal?

To know you mean so much to them.

To be the only one who can comfort them, because trust was built.

It’s when a pure heart, lets you in.

Because you took the time to let them know, that you really care.

Is there anything more powerful?

Than knowing they love you with all their soul?

When they put their lives in your hands, because trust was built.

A connection beyond words,

That only the two of you understand.

When you feel how much they love you back.

And all it took was a bit of care.

The sweet pain

Trust me it will wash away

But don’t let the rain take your dreams

You’re beautiful

Believe me that you are

Why are you doubting yourself?

Life can change in a heartbeat

There is more for you to see

You will find the meaning

In everything you feel

This is a letter to me

I wish you could see

That your scars they made you strong

There is so much more to come

Dear me

Don’t ever lose your faith

You’ll get back everything you gave away

Can’t you see?

They don’t even really care

You got to do it for yourself and walk your way

You’re more than just your body

Or what they assume you to be

You’re worth is so much bigger

Is not on you if they can’t see

This is a letter to me

One day you'll be free

I know you may be hurting now

But one day life will turn around

We are leading a life of uncertainty, A life of doubt and unpredictability. Where there is only suspicion, And an unhealthy competition.

We are leading a life of uncertainty, A life of dubiety. Worried of what will happen next, All the time being vexed.

We are leading a life of uncertainty, Which is void and empty. Where the rich envy, And the poor plea.

We are leading a life of uncertainty, Where there is a race for popularity. The mind isn’t free, And nobody is really happy.

We are leading a life of uncertainty, A life of economic disparity. We need a life of purity, And nullify the uncertainty.

THE DAY I DIED

I woke up in the middle of the night, Feeling very light. I woke up and realized, That I had died.

Off went up my soul, Through the walls and gates. I passed through every hole, that I didn’t have to wait.

I entered a mall, Picked up some chips. And off I went to a banquet hall, To take some clicks.

Alas! I couldn’t eat, Because I was a soul.

But Lo and Behold, Someone came up to greet.

I was shocked, She was shaken.

She told that she was mocked, And that’s why that step was taken.

We travelled a lot, From doors to shores.

We never got caught, Because we were not visible anymore.

“EDUCATION FOR HUMAN ORGANISM”

Human education is a critical instrument in one’s lives. It is a significant distinction between a civilized and an undisciplined individual. Even if the country’s literacy rate has increased in recent years, more individuals need to be made aware of the importance of education. Every child, whether a male or a girl, must attend school and not drop out. Education is beneficial not just to the individual but also to society. A well-educated individual is a valuable asset to society, contributing to its social and economic development. Such a person is always willing to assist society and the country. It is true to say that education is a stairway to a person’s and a nation’s achievement.

Education makes a person productive, allowing him or her to contribute to society in a positive way. It teaches us how to face many challenges and conquer them. A well-educated individual understands how to act in a polite and non-offensive manner. It shows us how to live a disciplined life while yet making a respectable living. Our future is built on the basis of education. Education is also the sole weapon that may be used to combat numerous issues such as illiteracy, poverty, unemployment, and so on. A person’s education makes them more sensitive to the predicament of their fellow beings. A welleducated individual not only comprehends the issues but also possesses the essential abilities to address them.

An educated individual possesses competent skills and is more capable than someone who is uneducated. However, it is incorrect to think that education alone ensures success. Indeed, success necessitates a solid education, as well as devotion, attention, and hard effort. An educated individual is more sensible and capable of rational thought.

Education allows a person to become self-sufficient. An educated individual does not rely on others and is capable of meeting his or her own requirements. A well-educated person also educates their family, and education benefits, not just the individual but also society and the nation. Education has a significant influence on our outlook, making us more optimistic about life and its objectives.

Family is a part of life which is the first school for a child, where a child can learn many things. We learn good habits and manners from our parents. I feel very lucky to be born in a family which made me a better person. Not everyone is fortunate enough to have a family. Some people spend time away from the family in order to be independent.

Family gives us sense of security and a safe environment. We learn to socialize through our intellect. Studies show that people who live with their families tend to be happier than one who lives, alone. Each family has their ups and downs. It taught me to overcome that struggles makes you become a better person. In my family along with my parents, I have a brother. My father is a pillar of our house and my mother is a support system of everyone in our house. My brother is funny, and an irritating member of our family. My brother is my best friend on whom I can always fall back on. In short, I will forever try to take care of my family. I cannot imagine my life without them. I can share everything with my mother and she suggests and shows me the right path.

HOW TEACHERS CAN HELP STUDENTS TO DESTRESS

National Stress day is celebrated every year in the month of November. Stress is a big part of normal daily life. It is a challenge we all face, and the body’s natural response to a threat or danger. Children spend most of the day in classrooms, teachers can play a powerful role in limiting stress. When children suffer from stress, it affects the entire family. Feeling stressed because of toxic levels of adversity such as experiencing or witnessing physical or emotional abuse, or substance abuse, they find it very challenging to step back from a negative experience, pause, and calm their nervous systems. When this happens during adolescence as the influence of peers is increasing and young people cope with the c hallenges of a developing sense of self, destress can be very challenging. Most students experience significant amounts of stress, and this stress can take a significant toll on health, happiness, and grades. That means teens are experiencing significant levels of chronic stress, and that they feel their levels of stress which generally exceed their ability to cope effectively. Stress can affect health-related behaviors like sleep patterns, diet, and exercise as well.

Students need to understand what stress is and how to cope with it, making them aware of how to recognize stress in themselves and in others that will help them handle the situations much better. Visualizations can help to calm down, detach from what’s stressing and turn off the body’s stress response. Every student needs an adult that they can trust and rely on developing a positive student/teacher relationship who is critical for reducing stress. Teachers need to allow for social connectivity within the classroom, need to form relationships and to connect to other human beings. Feeling socially connected, in a safe environment, helps build relationships and teaching time management. When students are organized, they have less stress. Allow students to have flexible due dates on assignments. This will lower their anxiety about due dates as well as keep them motivated and on top of their work. Including physical activity within the school day, stress can be greatly decreased with physical movement. Even taking classes outside for a short walk will reduce anxiety. Playing music and listening to music help to reduce stress and relax and stay focussed. Classical music is great for the classroom. Parents should also limit processed foods and those containing sugar which may be linked to sleep problems and depression. When our body is experiencing a stress response, a quick way to calm down is to practice breathing exercises. These can be done virtually anywhere to relieve stress in minutes, and are especially effective for reducing anxiety before or even during exams, as well as during other times when stress feels overwhelming.

Teachers need to be aware of the stress their students are experiencing in the classroom as well as in their personal lives. We can provide the support and help they may need to handle these stressful times. By understanding how stress affects learning, teachers can help build their student’s emotional resilience as well as activate their highest levels of cognition.

“What really moves the needle for educators and, by extension, their students?”

Being an effective teacher is about more than just improving test scores it’s also about making a difference in students’ lives. Teacher behaviours and traits are one of the most significant factors influencing student learning. When we think about the traits of a life - changing teacher , the great teachers make their students feel safe and loved, possess a contagious passion for learni ng, believe their students can succeed and always know when to be tough to help students reach their full potential.

But what are the fundamental levers that teachers can pull to refine their practices, improve their craft, and make a significant or even l ife - altering contribution to the lives of their students?

1. ALWAYS BE COLLECTING (TARGETED) FEEDBACK

Becoming a better teacher isn’t just about refining your craft it’s also about developing the right tools to shore up your weaknesses and identify blind spots.

In a 2019 study , researchers interviewed award - winning teachers and found a consistent pattern: They all regularly solicited feedback from their students to identify what was working and what wasn’t. Predictably, the feedback surfaced questions that students had about the material but also teased out valuable, hard - to - spot shortcomings related to how well - organized lessons were, and how easily students could find assignments, grading policies, and other crucial resources.

To get the highest - quality data, keep the feedback low - stakes and focused on pedagogical practices, not the content. The purpose of the survey is to give t he students a voice to tell the teacher what changes they can make and what practices they can implement to help them perform better in class. The survey has nothing to do with content. There are no questions about the subject.

Other tips:

• Use student surveys. Assure your students that feedback will be anonymous, and use a mix of targeted questions as well as open-ended ones like “Are assignments clear?” and “What should keep happening in this class?” to quickly home in on areas to improve.

• Invite other teachers into your classroom. Ask teachers you admire, and position it as an opportunity to seek advice and collaborate on finding solutions.

• Video yourself. Seeing yourself in action provides an opportunity for self-reflection: Are you calling on the same students? When are students most attentive?

2. ATTEND TO RELATIONSHIPS (AND CLASSROOM CULTURE)

One more time for the folks in the back: Relationships before learning. In school, children need a sense of belonging to be productive learners. They need to be connected to their fellow students and their teachers, and affirmed in who they are in a way that is positive and accepting.

Even the simplest efforts can yield meaningful results. In a 2018 study , teachers who spent a few minutes greeting kids at the door dramatically improved student attentiveness and reduced misbehaviour, adding as much as an additional hour of student engagement over the course of an instructional day. Meanwhile, a 2019 study found that when teachers used techniques cantered around establishing, maintaining, and restoring relationships throughout the yea r, academic engagement increased by 33 percent and disruptive behaviour decreased by 75 percent.

Other tips:

• Check in daily. Spend 15 minutes on morning meetings, a rose-and-thorn activity, or daily temperature checks to build the bonds of community and identify kids who are struggling.

• Conduct relationship audits. Consider using a relationship tracking form to inventory student interests and personal details, or keep a praise checklist to chart who you’ve praised so you can spread the love evenly.

• Be responsive. Allowing your lessons to emerge from the interest of your students can revitalize the class. Try to do student surveys every nine weeks and when you implement it from their feedback, let them know that you are doing this because you heard them and they matter to you.

3. DON’T GIVE AN INCH ON STANDARDS

Relationships matter but they’re not a substitute for rigor. In fact, to get the most out of the students, the teacher needs to strike the right balance between caring deeply for kids an d exposing them to challenging or even frustrating materials.

The assumption is that one can be either a compassionate teacher or a rigorous teacher, but not both and there’s a belief that kids don’t want rigor. But high expectations are effective when you adopt a “warm demander” approach and work within a student’s zone of proximal development. Build strong relationships with your students, and then draw on that trust to hold them accountable for outstanding work.

The impact of maintaining high academic standards is far - reaching. In a 2014 study , for example, high school students whose teachers had high expectations were three times more likely to graduate from college than students whose teachers had low expectations, even when student grades were identical.

Other tips:

• Be direct. Students who received encouraging but aspirational messages from their teachers “I’m giving you these comments because I have very high expectations and I know that you can reach them”—were twice as likely to revise their work, a 2014 study found.

• Embrace “productive failure.” In a 2008 study of 11th graders, researchers concluded that challenging problems that resulted in “productive failure” actually drove deeper learning than simpler, highly scaffolded problems that reliably produced correct answers.

• Avoid busywork and remedial work. Low expectations can be a self-fulfilling prophecy. Research reveals that when passionate students are repeatedly assigned remedial work, it snuffs out the spark of interest and becomes an academic dead end.

4. MAKE YOUR CLASSROOM MANAGEMENT ‘INVISIBLE’

The best classroom management can feel almost invisible: Proactive strategies that emphasize strong relationships are quietly at work behind the scenes, putting a stop to student misbehaviour before it get s started.

That’s an insight that expert teachers, in particular, possessed a “comprehensive understanding of classroom management and its complexity.” The most experienced educators conceived of classroom discipline holistically looking for the “root caus es” of misbehaviour before they considered punishment, prioritizing strong student - teacher relationships, and thinking about discipline as a natural extension of the way lessons were organized and executed, or even how the physical environment was arranged

Other tips:

• Pick your battles. Sometimes you have to confront kids, but when you call out every lowlevel disruption, you may unwittingly be giving students the spotlight they crave and reinforcing the misbehaviour. Instead, draw attention to positive behaviour and rely on relationships and lesson engagement to do a lot of the work.

• Be adaptive. Successful classroom management requires the adaptive application of a repertoire of different strategies. What works for one student may not work for another, so consider the right tool for the situation.

• Involve students in norm-setting. A list of rules won’t produce compliance, researchers insist: Consider working together to identify key guidelines, such as being respectful of others, reflect on them and amend them throughout the year.

5. HUMANIZE YOUR TEACHING

You can calibrate your bell schedules and arrange your classroom seating immaculately, but it’s the messy emotional worlds of students their daily ration of hope, fear, sadness, passion, and confidence that ultimately determine academic readiness.

Attending to the emotional well - being of kids, then, is just effective academic instruction. It starts with the little things, from treating kids like people to pulling up a chair and listening to them carefully. A rapidly growing number of studies suggest that setting aside 5 or 10 minutes for student self - reflection from brief essays that allow kids to tackle their schoolrelated anxieties to perspective - taking exercises before a test and can move students along the continuum from belonging to self - confidence to academic success.

Finally, don’t underestimate the role that identity plays in learning. Students are res ilient, but peer pressure and academic self - doubt can send them reeling: In a 2021 article for Scientific American , researchers c oncluded that students as young as 7 years old are keenly aware of social reputation and begin to connect asking for help with looking incompetent in front of others. Give students private channels to seek help and try to reduce the stigma associated wit h mistakes.

Other tips:

• Give grace. If a student misses an assignment, it may be for reasons outside of their control. Retakes let students know that the teacher acknowledges their humanity, that we all have bad days.

• Opt for low-stakes tests. Testing season is misery for many students, driving up biological indicators of stress and interrupting sleep cycles. Frequent, low-stakes quizzes are gamechangers: They rely on proven learning methods, reduce student anxiety, and dramatically improve retention.

• Give kids a break. A 2021 study found that during breaks, the brain replays learned material over and over at high speed, compressing and consolidating it. The research strongly endorses more downtime, concluding that “wakeful rest plays just as important a role in learning as practice does.”

6. CHECK YOUR BIASES

• Use grading rubrics. When rubrics articulate clear standards and are applied rigorously, bias in grading is greatly reduced.

• Get a second opinion. Periodically have other teachers review assessments with you. The mere awareness that people’s work will be reviewed for bias decreases the level of bias at play.

• Conduct self-audits. Check your materials for inclusivity. Making small, culturally relevant adjustments to curriculum.

7. AUTHENTICITY AND PASSION PAVES WAY TO SUCCESS!

Don’t spend time trying to live up to mythical teachers or fall prey to the popular notion that educators are entertainers.

In short, be yourself. Teachers make stronger connections to students when they let their quirkiness shine and engage in collaborative learning. Meanwhile, some students prefer

teachers who have an authentic, conversational style. This suggested that when educators are passionate about the material, it inspires kids to invest more time and effort in learning.

Life - changing teachers aren’t just nominally passionate about the subjects they teach, however, like ta lented professionals in any field, they spend time every day honing their craft, whether it’s by reading books and articles, learning from their colleagues, or trying out new ideas.

Other tips:

• Continually update your knowledge. From learning walks where groups of teachers visit each other’s classrooms to pick up new ideas, to book clubs. Strive to expand your teaching expertise.

• Connect to your passions. This does wonders for student engagement and relationships.

8. CLOSE THE BOOK ON THE DA Y

We’d be remiss if we didn’t mention that teaching is clearly getting harder too hard, in many cases. In our 2021 research roundup , reviewed the research and identified an unpreceden ted erosion of the boundaries between teachers’ work and home lives, and found that teachers were being asked to adopt new technology without the resources and equipment necessary for its correct didactic use.

To educate students, teachers need a clear end to their work day and time to replenish themselves, and it’s the school systems not the teachers that need to adjust accordin gly. What else should be done? Creating strict school policies that separate work from rest, eliminating the adoption of new technological tools without proper supports, distributing surveys regularly to gauge teacher well - being and above all listening to educators to identify and confront emerging problems might be a good place to start.

UNEMPLOYMENT IN INDIA

Unemployment is a very serious issue not only in India but in the whole world. There are hundreds and thousands of people out, who do not have employment. Besides, the problems of unemployment are very severe in India because of the growing population and demand for jobs.

The unemployment rate in India rose to 7.2 percent in recent years, according to latest data completed by the centre for monitoring Indian Economy

Unemployment is when a person who actually searching for employment and unable to find work. Most of the unemployment is due to lack of education. The most frequent measures of unemployment is the unemployment rate, which is the number of unemployment people divided by the number of people in the labour force.

There are different types of unemployment in India

Disguised unemployment which traced in agricultural and the unorganised sectors in India. There are number of people who do farming but still there is no growth. They die each day because of hunger. This is because of proper facilities. Many farmers stop working because there is no proper income and growth.

Even if there is education, but because of recommendations and because of many factors who are really worth, they are not getting any jobs. In 2016, world bank data predicted that the proportion of jobs threated by automation in India is 69% year-on-year. If this is the case most of the software employees loose their jobs. Because of large population in India, it is difficult for government to provide jobs.

The syllabus that is taught in schools and colleges, being not as per the current requirements of the industries. This is the main cause of unemployment. Still women are facing issues in India for education most women are unemployed.

There are many impacts in unemployment.

This gives rise to the problem of poverty. Young people after a long time of unemployment indulge in illegal and wrong activities for earning money. This leads to increase in crime in the country. It is often seen that employment people and end up getting addicted to drugs and alcohol or attempts suicides, leading losses to the human resources of the country.

If things will go on like the current scenario, then unemployment will become a major issue. Apart from this, the following things happen in an economy which is an increase in poverty, an increase in crime rate, exploitation of labour, political instability, mental health, and loss of skills. As a result, all this will eventually lead to the demise of the nation.

What I feel that it also affects Indian economy of the country as the workforce that could have been gainfully employees to generate resources actually gets dependent on the remaining working population.

India is one of those ill-fated underdeveloped countries which are suffering from a huge unemployment problem. But the unemployment problem in India is not the result of deficiency of effective demand in Keynesian term but a product of shortage of capital equipment’s and other complementary resources accompanied by high rate of growth of population.

To conclude, we can say that the problem of unemployment in India has reached a critical stage. But, now the government and local authorities have taken the problem seriously and working on it to reduce unemployment. Also, to completely solve the issue of unemployment we have to tackle the main issue of unemployment that is the vast population of India.

AIR POLLUTION

Earlier the air we breathed in, used to be pure and fresh. But, due to increasing industrialization and concentration of poisonous gases in the environment, the air is getting more and more toxic day by day. Also, these gases are the cause of many respiratory and other diseases. Moreover, the rapidly increasing human activities like the burning of fossil fuels, deforestation is the major cause of air pollution.

The fossil fuel, firewood, and other things that we burn, produce oxides of carbons which got released into the atmosphere. Earlier, there happened to be a large number of trees which can easily filter the air we breathed in. But, with the increase in demand for land, the people started cutting down trees which caused deforestation. That ultimately reduced the filtering capacity of the tree.

Moreover, during the last few decades, the numbers of fossil fuel burning vehicle increased rapidly which increased the number of pollutants in the air. Its causes include burning of fossil fuel and firewood, smoke released from factories, volcanic eruptions, forest fires, bombardment, asteroids, CFCs (Chlorofluorocarbons), carbon oxides and many more. Besides, there are some other air pollutants like industrial waste, agricultural waste, power plants, thermal nuclear plants, etc.

Polluted air is costing us lives Minimize air pollution from cars. Walk, bike or use public transportation. Save energy. Maintain your wood stove or fireplace. Recycle & buy recycled products. Consume less & choose sustainable products. Eat local, organic produce & less meat. Grow your own food.

MORNING ASSEMBLY

The morning assembly in college starts the day on a cool and calm note. A short breather before the hectic college day begins with classes, courses and extracurricular activities, swamping our time.

It offers a moment of reflection before the working day begins, the college staff meets together and the assembly becomes a medium of communicating matters of significance to each other.

The morning assembly is a time when the whole college assembles in the CEBEMO hall, prays together, shares information and begins the day jointly on a note of quiet reflection.

It is crucial in preparing for the hectic day ahead. The most important thing is that the assembly imparts a clear sense of vision that there are moments of peace, even if the day seems like there is too much on our plates.

DEVADASI SYSTEM

A devadasi is a female artist who is dedicated to worship and serve a deity or a temple for the rest of her life. This dedication took place in a Pottukattu ceremony that was similar to marriage ceremony. These women also learned and practiced classical Indian artistic traditions such as Bharatanatyam, Mohiniyattam, Kuchipudi and Odissi. Their social status was high as dance and music were an essential part of temple worship.

The devadasi is a Sanskrit term which means servant of deva [GOD] or devi [GODDESS]. This is a kind of religious practice carried on basically in the southern part of India. Devadasis were respected member of the society and it was believed that they were eternally married ‘suhagan’ who is never widowed. And their presence in a marriage ceremony for the purpose of making mangalsutra was compulsory .It was believed that the bride who wears that Mangalsutra will die a ‘suhagan’.

The devadasi system, though, is still in existence in rudimentary form but with the activism of Dalit activists, state governments of different states at different times outlawed this ritual such as Andhra Pradesh Devdasi [Prohibition of dedication] act 1988 or the Madras Devadasi act 1947.

During the period of British rule in the Indian subcontinent, kings who were the patrons of temples lost their power, thus the temple artist communities also lost their significance. As a result, Devadasis were left without their traditional means of support and patronage and were now commonly associated with temple prostitution. The practice of Devadasi was banned during British rule, starting with the Bombay Devadasi Protection Act in 1934. The colonial view of devadasi practices remains debated as the British colonial government from non- religious street dancers.

LET'S FORGET THE PAST

Let's forget the stale past

For it is filled with the cobwebs

Of disturbing confusion and bickering misunderstandings

Let's start afresh a new life

When there is an after -life

After the stillness of cold death

Why not then welcome a new life

After the exist of the dead past!

Of what use is our non- living past

And still live in it?

It is useless regretting over

What has gone sour and rancid

Let's burn down to ashes

What's not to our liking

Let's pound to disintegration

What has gone wrong between us

Let's change the direction

Of our life's route

Let's pursue that path

Where there is no discord

But only filled with fragrant roses

Let's weld and we'd together in boundless unity

To the source of happiness and harmony

Where our lives spent in eternity

Would have no ending at all!

The improvement of science and technology has made our lives comfortable and easy thus we became an independent individual who hardly borders about out next door. Life as such is challenging and the humans have made it more complicated because life has fallen into the class and categories where the rich are getting richer and the poor are dying for food. We live in a world where millions of people go hungry every day on the other hand we see people who enjoy surplus of wealth. Such disparities are created due to the selfishness and greed of humanity. Every time we pass by the roadside we come across many destitute and poor who spend sleepless nights by the roadside. People pass by without taking any notice of them as they are so used to. On one such occasion there was an incident where a women pass by the roadside distributing food for the poor on the street, she came across a man lying down on the footpath motionless she came closer to have better study of the condition of the man then she noticed that there was no more life in him. Soon she called up to the police and informed about the incident. In no time police arrived and investigated the matter and took off the body. The lady’s courage and concern for the needy was admirable. Do we have a similar attitude towards our needy brethren while we come across such incident? Do we care to look around what is happening to our next door and lend a helping hand?

Likewise we come across very few people who selflessly render service to the needy brethren in our society where virtue of love, service and kindness is almost forgotten. In the past few years we have been experiencing a very difficult time due the outbreak of pandemic covid 19 where many people lost their lives whereas many others have left homeless and poor. Many of us too got the disease yet we were able to get through the trial situation and come out of it. Thanks to Almighty God who took care of us, preserved our lives and enabled us to see this beautiful world again. The Institute of St. Ann’s college of education provides ample opportunities for the students to groom and grow in knowledge and virtue of helping and caring for one another by conducting various outreach programs. The Institute has reached out to many poor with their charitable works; I am so blessed to be part of it. We should never be tired of doing good to the others, every helping hand can help the poor because caring for the poor and needy people and helping them is a noble endeavour. The more we give to the poor and needy people, the more we strengthen their dependency. If we give them the chance or opportunity, we will see an effective and long-lasting improvement in their lives.

From being the first woman to hold a teaching position in a university to the first to earn a doctorate, these women have broken stereotypes to walk among men so that others may run today.

Dr. Kamal Ranadive was an unsung scientist who made science accessible to all.

Born on 8 November 1917, in Pune to Dinkar and Shantabai, Kamal Samarth was a genius to reckon with from early childhood. Dinkar, an erstwhile Biology professor at Fergusson College in Pune has become an inspiration by leading herself into a bright career. She was not one to give in to irrational societal norms but ensured all her children received the best education.

She completed her schooling with excellent grades from the prestigious Huzurpaga High School – the oldest girls’ school in the city. She pursued her graduation in Botany and Zoology at Fergusson College and went on to emerge as one of India’s first and leading women scientists. Following her graduation, she obtained her Masters of Science with specialisation in cytogenetics in 1943 from the College of Agriculture, Pune. Kamal’s relocation to Bombay (now Mumbai) post her marriage proved to be immensely conducive for her career, as she now had the chance to work with Dr V R Khanolkar, the founder of Indian Cancer Research Centre (ICRC). Kamal continued her doctoral research under the stalwart’s guidance at the University of Bombay.

Padma Bhushan Kamal Ranadive not just set up India’s first tissue culture lab, she shaped iconic institutions like the Indian Cancer Research Centre (ICRC) and the Indian Women Scientists’ Association (IWSA). She was probably the first in the nation to propose the correlation between breast cancer occurrence and heredity – which was confirmed by later researchers.

Born in a middle-class family in 1917, Asima Chatterjee was encouraged to pursue education in whichever field she liked — a privilege girls rarely received back then.

She is the second woman in the country to gain a doctorate in science. Anima’s study on the Madagascar periwinkle plant contributed to the development of drugs used in chemotherapy to slow the growth of cancer cells. She also discovered that the fruits and bark of the bale tree could treat a variety of gastrointestinal disorders.

She was a chemistry professor at Calcutta University and the first woman scientist to hold a position in any university in the country.

In 1975, she received the Padma Bhushan award and was elected as the General President of the Indian Science Congress Association.

Born in 1913, Bibha was supposedly India’s first woman researcher. One of six siblings from a wellread zamindar family in Hooghly district of an undivided Bengal, Bibha was distantly related to the family of Sir Jagadish Chandra Bose.Yet, neither does the name of this gifted physicist surface in any of the repositories on Indian women in science, nor is she mentioned even once amongst various lists of women pioneers in the history of Indian science. She also did not win any national award or receive a fellowship from a renowned scientific society during her lifetime.

Prof. Dr. Bibha Chowdhuri

Many of her research works were published by journals such as Nature and Proceedings of the Physical Society of London, while her doctoral research work was going on at the laboratory of Patrick Maynard Stuart Blackett, the renowned physicist and Nobel laureate, in the UK.

Known to have lived a relatively quiet life, she was deeply committed to physics and research to the extent that almost all of her time was spent within the confines of her laboratory. Neither Bibha nor any of her siblings ever married.

In 1949, she was selected by none other than Homi J Bhabha to join the newly established Tata Institute of Fundamental Research (TIFR) in Mumbai, as a researcher.

This Brilliant Woman Could Have Won a Physics Nobel for India.

BE HAPPY WHEN EVERYTHING GOES WRONG

In a very famous study published by researchers at North-western University in 1978 it was discovered that the happiness levels of paraplegics and lottery winners were essentially the same within a year after the event occurred. You read that correctly. One person won a life-changing sum of money and another person lost the use of their limbs and within one year the two people were equally happy. How to Be Happy: Where to Go From Here

There are two primary takeaways from The Impact Bias about how to be happy.

First, we have a tendency to focus on the thing that changes and forget about the things that don’t change. When thinking about winning the lottery, we imagine that event and all of the money that it will bring in. But we forget about the other 99 percent of life and how it will remain more or less the same.

We’ll still feel grumpy if we don’t get enough sleep. We still have to wait in rush hour traffic. We still have to work out if we want to stay in shape. We still have to send in our taxes each year.

It will still hurt when we lose a loved one. It will still feel nice to relax on the porch and watch the sunset. We imagine the change, but we forget the things that stay the same. Second, a challenge is an impediment to a particular thing, not to you as a person. In the words of Greek philosopher Epictetus, “Going lame is an impediment to your leg, but not to your will.” We overestimate how much negative events will harm our lives for precisely the same reason that we overvalue how much positive events will help our lives. We focus on the thing that occurs (like losing a leg), but forget about all of the other experiences of life.

Writing thank you notes to friends, watching football games on the weekend, reading a good book, eating a tasty meal. These are all pieces of the good life you can enjoy with or without a leg. Mobility issues represent but a small fraction of the experiences available to you. Negative events can create taskspecific challenges, but the human experience is broad and varied.

There is plenty of room for happiness in a life that may seem very foreign or undesirable to your current imagination.

For more on how to be happy and the fascinating ways in which our brain creates happiness, read Dan Gilbert's book Stumbling on Happiness

Everything is temporary, even this.

Happiness is a result of your approach to life, not what happens to you. The things, even those that seem small, that are going right in your life. The people who are in your corner. What you care about most and what you can let go of. You ultimately choose how you react. Your resilience in other tough situations. Bad times don't define you, but your approach does. Worrying, anger, complaining, denial, or any of the infinite other ways we try to circumvent pain when things go wrong won't change the situation.

"A DAUGHTER’S FIRST LOVE"

We now live in a culture where Dad is an equal partner in care giving. From day one, dads are encouraged to be hands on, changing diapers, giving baths, putting Baby to sleep and calming her cries. That presence and effort is the beginning of a very important relationship.

What matters in the father-daughter relationship is that Dad seeks to live a life of integrity and honesty, avoiding hypocrisy and admitting his own shortcomings so that she has a realistic and positive example of how to deal with the world. He should try to model a reflective approach to life’s big questions so that she can seek to do the same.

A dad’s involvement in his daughter’s life is a crucial ingredient in the development of a young woman’s self-esteem.

The sound of the word itself makes it feel all philosophical But is thinking and over thinking about it logical?

Our constant comparison to everyone else every single time Not matching up to them makes us feel like we've committed a crime

Who, what, when, where and why we ask? But when it's our turn to answer, we hide behind our mask

He is good at sports, she is the topper, they are amazing artists, and someone is a great cook Butbut, you forgot your qualities, take a look!

You are beautiful, you are courageous, you are blessed and definitely one of a kind All of this you overlook when you over think your mind

Stand in front of the mirror and admire your strength, instead of searching for your flaws Accept yourself with the dark circles, blemishes, unevenness and pause

Pause to look at those eyes that show you the beautiful world The smile that helps you earn another friend

The nose that helps you appreciate the smell of fresh rain And for all the things they help you gain

Look at yourself with love and admiration; for all that you are because there is none like you Tell yourself the best things about you and see the confidence brew

Allow your confidence passion and perseverance grow Through self love and appreciation while comparing is a big NO

So the next time you feel you're not good enough Stand upright and prove that you are tough

I repeat again, not by counting your flaws and shortcomings But by being grateful for your blessings :)

WHEN TO BE SILENT

Be silent – In the heat of anger

Be silent - When you don’t have all the facts

Be silent – When you haven’t verified the story

Be silent – If your words will offend a weaker person

Be silent – When you are tempted to make light of holy things

Be silent – If you would be ashamed of your words later

Be silent – When you are tempted to joke about sin.

Be silent – If your words will damage someone else’s reputation

Be silent – If your words damage a friendship

Be silent – If you have already said it more than one time.

Be silent - If you are supposed to be working instead

Be silent – When your words do not do any good to anyone including yourself.

WHOEVER GUARDS HIS TONGUE KEEPS HIS SOUL AWAY FROM TROUBLES.
