Subject: Expressing views on imparting sex education in schools
Sir
Through the column of your esteemed daily, I would like to draw the kind attention of the concerned authorities and common masses towards Expressing views on imparting sex education in schools. The very word ‘sex’ embarrasses us. Parents, teachers, aunts etc. push this possibility of teaching ‘sex’ under the carpet. We are not ready to give and get a safe sex message. Some believe that the introduction of sex education in schools will put our Indian culture in danger.
Adolescent Education Programme (AEP) manual is being burnt by some ill-informed groups. The cases of child abuse and HIV/AIDS are rising steadily. The Indian culture cannot cope with the situation as it propagates silence. The Conservatives argue that teaching our children about sexuality can break down the pre-existing notions of modesty and tear the moral fabric of our society, encouraging deviant behaviours such as homosexuality. These fears are unfounded.
Teaching sex would encourage children to view sex as a natural, normal and healthy part of life. Parents feel uncomfortable discussing sex. So sex education will fill this void and it will tell children the difference between good touch and bad touch. It will curb child abuse. Adolescents would know what is good for them and what is bad. A well-informed person is a hundred times better than an ill-informed person.
Kindly publish my views in your esteemed daily and oblige.
Yours sincerely,

Subject: Expressing concern over the park in deplorable condition
Sir
I would be obliged if you publish my letter in your renowned newspaper to draw the attention of the higher authorities to the deplorable condition of the Kamla Nehru Park.
Kamla Nehru Park has become a den for unscrupulous and anti-social elements. This is the area where the old sabzi mandi stood. Located right opposite the Sabzi Mandi police station, the park has become a joint for drug peddlers, drunkards, and other unscrupulous elements. Almost 70 per cent of the park’s railing is missing.
The park has become a nuisance and it serves no purpose. The residents avoid it even during the daytime. The park requires proper fencing. The park is in a deplorable state. The condition is so bad that unless you are told that it is a park you will not believe it. It is devoid of greenery. A DDA board put up in the park claims that the park is closed for renovation. But there are no signs of any developmental activity anywhere. In the morning the pavement dwellers defecate in the park. I am sure this letter will certainly invoke intervention from the highest authorities and the renovation of this park will see its dawn one day.
Yours sincerely,

Sub: Mushrooming of slums and illegal colonies
Sir
Though the column of your prestigious national daily, I express my dismay at the mushrooming of illegal colonies and slums in the big cities of India.
The haphazard urbanization is the root cause of all such evils. This led to the proliferation of many illegal colonies and clusters of slums in every big city. The unmanageable population of the cities makes a mockery of all development plans. Thousands of people are living a miserable life in these stinking slums. They don’t have even basic civic amenities. Pure drinking water is not available to them. There is no provision for the sewerage or drainage system. Water-logging is a major problem, especially during the rainy season. Life in a slum and life in hell is not much different.
The government must act before our cities get chocked with the stink of slums. It can slow down the migration to cities by opening agro-based cottage industries in the region. The negligent and corrupt officials who let such illegal settlements to flourish must be sacked or severely punished. Only a concerted drive on the part of the vigilant authorities can save our cities from being choked with the stink of slums.
Yours faithfully

Road accidents are so common these days that they hardly need any detail. The traffic on roads has greatly increased due to an increased number of motor vehicles. In order to control this traffic, the policemen concerned should be given some specific training.
The Speed limit on all roads should be limited and nobody should be allowed to exceed it. Driving in a drunken state should be banned. Traffic lights should also be installed at all important road crossings. All violators of rules should be severely dealt with.
Thank you.

Sir,
Subject: The tourism industry needs a boost
Through the columns of your esteemed daily. I would like to bring to light the issue of the requirement of the boost in the tourism industry.
We know that tourism is necessary for every country; It is a major source of income for both. the locals and the government. But in India, tourism has not been given its due. With only an average of 4 million tourists annually. India is way behind countries like Russia and Singapore. Increasing tourists will increase employment in the tourism industry and eventually increase the quality of life of thousands.
It is high time that tourism is given its long-awaited due. We need to design schemes to keep our tourists safe and happy. The monuments and other tourist spots should be preserved. Extensive work should be done on the cleanliness and beautification of the country so as to make it attractive for foreign tourists. The government needs to improve the hotels’ industry for the convenience of tourists. Moreover, every citizen should put forth his/ her hospitable nature towards the tourist so that they do not leave our country disappointed.
Yours sincerely.

Sub:- Overcrowding In Classes
Through the editorial column of your esteemed newspaper, I wish to draw the kind attention of the concerned authorities regarding Overcrowding In Classes
Good schools were once thought to be temples of learning but nowadays these so-called ‘good’ schools have become nothing more than educational shops whose only aim is to mint money by fair means or foul. They charge unimaginably high fees and admit as many as 60-70 students in one section of a class.
It is practically impossible for a teacher to control so many kids in a class and give individual attention to them. The children are herded together like sheep in an enclosure, while the low-paid helpless teacher continues shouting above their heads. The only aim of such schools is to collect as much money as they can by putting as many students as they can in one class. They are selling education without paying any sales tax. They are earning lacs and crores without paying any income tax. They are raising huge properties without paying any wealth or property tax. Admitting a large number of students in one class with the sole purpose of making money is a corrupt practice that needs to be stopped immediately. No school should be allowed to admit more than 20-25 students in a class at the lower levels at least, where each child needs to be attended individually.

The road is a virtual death trap for the people as it is pockmarked with open manholes.

These open manholes have claimed many lives. I would appeal to the authorities concerned to take remedial action at the earliest to ensure that the pedestrians can walk freely through the road safely at night and during rains.

Through the column of your esteemed daily, I would like to draw the kind attention of the concerned authorities and common masses towards the importance of knowing the first aid?
Today a child met an accident near the school gate. Many people were standing around but did not know what to do. Finally, the child was carried to the hospital by a taxi driver. The students should be made aware of the primary steps of first aid at school. In the school curriculum. it should be included.
Even competitions should be held to make them efficient at first aid. At the same time, they should have their own mini first aid box at their home. The parents should encourage their children for this purpose. They should know what to do in such situations before the victim is carried to the hospital. At times, the first aid can be life-saving. The government and the concerned educational authorities should initiate a step towards this.

Apart from academics schools organize various activities like painting competitions, debates, sports activities, writing workshops, drama clubs, etc. These activities are not frivolous time pass.
They help a student to find his/ her talents and provide an outlet for their creativity. They contribute immensely to the overall mental and physical growth of students. They boost self-confidence and instill a sense of positivity in students.
Schools should aim at imparting important moral and ethical lessons through extracurricular activities. It would prepare better future citizens of our country.

Sir
Subject: Expressing concern towards irregularities being done in a fair price shop
Through the columns of your well-circulated newspaper, I would like to express my concern about the non-availability of essential commodities in the fair price shop of our area.
This fair price shop is run by a private party under the direct supervision of the Food and Supplies Department. It is supposed to maintain a steady supply of essential commodities at reasonable and subsidized rates. But these commodities mostly remain conspicuous by their absence. Although I do not buy anything from the shop as it is for the benefit of the people of low-income groups, women and the elderly come and go away empty-handed and this pinches me a lot. I feel upset.
The shopkeeper invariably puts the blame on the government and complains that essential commodities are in short supply and so he cannot satisfy the customers. But the fact is otherwise. A bulk of the commodities is sold to the private shopkeepers who sell them at market rates and the money is distributed among fair price shop owners and officials. The consumers are compelled to buy commodities from elsewhere. They have to shell out extra money which they have earned by a lot of hard work.
The officials visit the shop, sign the registers, and go away with their fattened purses.
I hope the appearance of my letter in your newspaper will draw the attention of the higher authorities to this irregularity and malpractice and they would take appropriate steps to correct the situation.
Yours sincerely,
Ram

Sir
Subject: Concern over violence and sex in Indian films
Through the columns of your esteemed newspaper, I wish to express my views pertaining to the shameless display of violence and sex in Indian films. This trend is highly disconcerting. The producers feel that only the inclusion of sex and violence in their films can ensure their success at the box office. So they give a heavy dose of bedroom scenes, bathing scenes, rape scenes. Filmmakers are not bothered whether such scenes are needed or not. Thus, scenes depressingly lewd and totally unsuitable for mass viewing are displayed.
Today the fight composer occupies a special position. He remains in search of ingenious ways of perpetuating cruelty. This display of mindless violence pollutes the minds of viewers. Their sensibility gets contaminated. Imitating their heroes, they also indulge in violence. Our generation has become trigger-happy.
The blanket ban on the scenes of sex and violence will not do and it is not desirable. It will mean swimming against the currents. Sex should be treated aesthetically to invoke pleasure and not basic instincts. Similarly, evil cannot be excluded from life. Cinema mirrors society. Evil and violence will stay there, but violence shown in films must look repulsive and not glorious. Above all, our film-makers should not blindly follow Hollywood. Ours is a different culture. For their own profits, they should not be allowed to corrupt our society.
Yours sincerely,
Ramesh
