Alcohol-underage drinking

Alcohol is the drug of choice among youth. Many young people are experiencing the consequences of drinking too much, at too early an age. As a result, underage drinking is a leading public health problem in every country.   Why teens drink Teens are particularly helpless to alcohol use. The physical changes of puberty might make your teen feel self-conscious and more likely to take risks — such as experiment with alcohol — to fit in or please others. Coping with stress and challenging transitions, such as going from   school to college, moving, or dealing with the effects of parents problems, might also influence a teen or youngster   to drink. Also, your teen might have trouble understanding that his or her actions can have harmful consequences. Other risk factors include: Family problems, such as conflict or parental alcohol abuse A history of childhood abuse or other major trauma Behavior, school or mental health problems Close friendships w...

The cursed Indian males …….

The cursed Indian males ……. If a women hurts/cheats another women, shall it be labelled as crime against women ?  Yes it is. However, for all crime against women, Men are held responsible, and laws are enacted to that effect, to harass and punish   Men. Going by the question, when a man is hurt/harassed, it should be labelled as crime against men. And should laws be framed to hold women responsible for that ? And going by numbers, crime against men is a much much bigger issue, then crime against women The general perception is that crime against women, necessarily means that a man, must have harassed an abla naari. Going by reality on ground, this is very incorrect. Unfortunately by reality, people today believe, what is shown in media. Media doesn't show reality, they show, news items, that are spicy.  A news like "girl molested/raped" gets more viewership, then one, which says, "farmer used innovative techniques to improve crop production". So med...

WHY INDIA REQUIRE MORE WOMEN POLICE ???

WHY INDIA REQUIRE MORE WOMEN POLICE ??? A new study by Commonwealth Human Rights Initiative (CHRI) suggests that women constitute six per cent of the entire police force which is much smaller than other South Asian and also BRICS countries. “Indian police as a concept was given to us by the British. An imperial force then, police were only males, which was also not the case in Britain at the time, which since 1857 had women in their force. So, Indian police has been recognised as a masculine body for a long time,” says Kamal Kumar, ex-DGP. He adds, “In rape cases, we find it hard to depute women officers to interrogate and investigate since there are such few options. If during a rally or a protest people see women police officers around in as many numbers as they are used to seeing men, the population will not assume the police to be as a very authoritarian body.” In a Home Ministry report released a few months ago, it was revealed that women make u...

female foeticide project report for ministry india

Detailed project report Female foeticide  is the act of aborting a foetus because it is female. This is a major social problem in India and has cultural connections with the dowry system that is ingrained in Indian culture, despite the fact that it has been prohibited by law since 1961. In India a strong preference for sons over daughters exists, unlike in Western cultures. People realize smaller family sizes with relatively greater number of sons through the use of medical technologies. Pregnancies are planned by resorting to 'differential contraception' — contraception is used based on the number of surviving sons irrespective of family size. Following conception, foetal sex is determined by prenatal diagnostic techniques after which female foetuses are aborted.   Foetal sex determination and sex-selective abortion by medical professionals has grown into a  1,000 crore industry (US$244 million). Social discrimination against women and a preference for ...

KINDS OF NGOs FUNCTIONING IN INDIA

KINDS OF NGOs FUNCTIONING IN INDIA There are various ways in which you find NGOs categorised , but here below are kinds of Ngos and their functions: Ø GRASSROOTS  ORGANISATIONS Many small NGOs work directly with the community on the grassroots levels. These could be dealing with education, health, mother and child issues etc. There are many mahila mandals, balwadis etc that will be working in a small way receiving funds from their activities from government sources or through other charities. Such organisations do not necessarily need to be operating in villages or slums, as some will be working in middle class housing communities. Ø HEALTH AND EDUCATION We will club these together as most NGOs working in such fields of service will have areas of overlap. An educational Ngo may be working in literacy, adult education or even an entire school for the poor. They will have a wide range of activities but will primarily be concerned to educate the masses to dev...
