The enquiry clerk seemed very busy. The coolies were carrying luggage to the platform. The railway platform presented an interesting amusing and absorbing scene. The hawkers were having a good time.

Write a report in exploitation of parents by private schools. You are Ravi Dubey, a student of Class XL [2009]
Answer:

Exploitation Of Parents By Private Schools

Consumerism has reduced everything, including school education, to the economics of demand and supply. Thousands of so-called public schools have been flourishing on the growing weakness of the parents to send their children to ‘English Medium’ schools. Barring a few reputed and established names, most of them are nothing more than ‘teaching shops.’ They make money at the cost of ignorance and credulous parents. This is not good. Let our schools remain the temples of learning. Let us not bury them deep in the dung of wealth and gold.

Example 16.
The following are various headlines of different articles on different wildlife creatures and sanctuaries :
Katnataka plans Indian Bustard sanctuary.
Time runs out for Siberian cranes poisoned in China and shot in Pakistan.
Rhino poaching on rise in Kaziranga.
With above headlines of Newspaper write about “The role of sanctuaries in preserving wildlife.” [2013]
Answer:
Wildlife Sanctuaries-Their Problems and Their Contribution. Endangered by hunting and encroachments on their habitat, many species of wild life are in the verge of extinction. Our sanctuaries are not always fully equipped to meet the onslaught of poachers and hunters. But they have to quite an extent, saved our many species from extinction.

The Indian Bustard, one of the heaviest winged animals essentially a ground bird are an easy target of hunters. The Karnataka government has initiated a project to protect the bird at a wildlife sanctuary.

Shortage of staff, weapons and equipment with the guards engaged in anti-poaching operations has also been standing in the way of effective control of poaching.

The Rhino horns fetch a fabulous prize in international market. Hence,it is a lucrative proposition for the villagers in the vicinity of Kaziranga National Park to guide a poacher to a rhino than to depend on the environment projects which can bring only small benefits.

Loss of wintry habitat, an ardous migratory journey and hunting on the migratory route are posing tremendous threats to Siberian crane. Urgent measures are needed to protect the species whose numbers have been steadily decreasing at Bharatpur Bird Sanctuary.

More or less, we have the infrastructure and the intelligence to protect certain endangered species, but there is a greater need to tap methods in conserving these species before they too are wiped out like many others.
