It is necessary to recognize the magical powers of books because they generate a link between the past and the future, a bridge between generations and across cultures. The theme for World Book and Copyright Day 2025 is "The role of literature in achieving the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs)".

हमने अपने इतिहास से सीखा था जल बचाना, अब समय है उसे दोहराने का... अब समय आ गया है… "अमृतम जलम" को जन आंदोलन बनाने का.... राजस्थान अपनी ऐतिहासिक धरोहरों—भव्य किलों, सुंदर बावड़ियों और अनोखी जल-संरक्षण प्रणालियों के लिए पूरी दुनिया में प्रसिद्ध है। सदियों पहले जब तकनीक नहीं थी, तब भी पानी को सहेजने की अद्भुत व्यवस्थाएं बनाई गई थीं। दौसा जिले में स्थित चाँद बावड़ी (Chand Baori) विश्व की सबसे गहरी और विशालतम बावड़ियों में से एक है, जिसमें 3500 से भी अधिक सीढ़ियाँ हैं और यह आज भी वास्तुकला और जल संरक्षण की मिसाल है। इसी तरह पुष्कर की नाग बावड़ी, जोधपुर की तोरण बावड़ी, और बूंदी की रानीजी की बावड़ी जैसे उदाहरण हमें याद दिलाते हैं कि हमारे पूर्वजों ने जल को कितना सम्मान दिया। लेकिन समय के साथ, हमने न केवल इन बावड़ियों और कुओं को भुला दिया, बल्कि गंदे नाले से बहने वाले अपशिष्ट जीवनदायिनी जल स्रोतों जैसे चंबल नदी को भी प्रदूषित करने लगे हैं—त्योहारों के बाद फूल, कचरा और प्लास्टर ऑफ पेरिस की मूर्तियाँ विसर्जन के नाम पर जल स्रोतों जल जीवों को जाने अनजाने नुकसान पहुँचा रहे हैं। ऐसे ...

Rajasthan Day: A Tale of Valor, Heritage, and Pride—Through the Pen of a Young Author Ishita Pandey Young Author Class 12, Jayshree Periwal International School, Jaipur Who am I, you ask? I am the land of the brave, A flame of pride burning bright, Rising from the scorching sands, With valor etched on every peak of the Aravallis. I am Rajasthan… My glorious history took a new form on March 30, 1949, when the princely states of Rajputana united to become Rajasthan. This was not just a political merger—it was the unification of our very soul. I am not just a geographical expanse; I am a living testament to sacrifice, courage, and resilience. My sands whisper the undying sagas of warriors, my winds carry echoes of great sacrifices, and my spirit embodies Maharana Pratap’s struggle, Prithviraj Chauhan’s valor, and Panna Dhai’s selflessness. The Battle of Haldighati was not just a clash of swords—it was a thunderous roar of self-respect. The Jauhar of Rani Padmini in Chittorgarh was a pledg...

Kota: A City That Rises, A City That Cares I am Kota. Not just a city, but a heartbeat, a dream, a never-ending journey of resilience. My past is carved in the bravery of Rajput warriors, my present thrives in the aspirations of millions. From the grandeur of my royal history to the silence of my fallen industries, I have seen both glory and despair. Yet, I do not break—I rise. Again and again. Once, my factories roared with prosperity, but when they fell silent in the 80s and 90s, it seemed like my story had reached its end. But fate had a different plan. An extraordinary man, Vinod Kumar Bansal, saw hope where others saw darkness. From a dining table, he built an empire of knowledge, and with one student’s All India Rank 1 in IIT, I found my new identity—the coaching capital of India. Since then, I have become a river of dreams. My streets are filled with young minds chasing their future, my air heavy with the weight of expectations. But I am more than just an exam center. I am home....

Embrace Digital Detox Sundays: Rediscover the Joy of Outdoor Play In today's fast-paced digital world, screens have become an inseparable part of our lives. But have we paused to notice what we’re missing? The laughter echoing through playgrounds, the thrill of running freely under the open sky, the sheer joy of feeling the sun on our faces—these simple pleasures are slipping away. It's time to take a step back. It’s time to reclaim our connection with nature. Studies have shown a shocking rise in myopia among children and adolescents, with more than one in three young individuals now affected. The culprit? Excessive screen time and lack of outdoor exposure. But there’s hope! Research proves that stepping outside and soaking in natural light can significantly reduce the risk of myopia. Just an extra hour outdoors each week can lower this risk by 2%. Imagine the impact if we made outdoor play a regular habit! Beyond eye health, the benefits of outdoor time are endless. Sunlight ...
