Across the globe, Nuclear energy is considered as the cheapest and most efficient way to produce energy. Though, it uses non-renewable sources like fossils, nuclear plants can produce as much as energy to power the globe if used appropriately. Nuclear power plants have their own pros and cons. Even though it has a handful of advantages, the world has faced huge challenges in maintaining nuclear power plants. Various disastrous incidents has forced various countries to shut down these plants even though they are cost-efficient. Although few countries have these plants in large numbers to fulfill the demand, many developed countries like the United States and Japan have decided to stop generating nuclear energy by 22nd century. Unfortunately,India hasn’t realised this yet and is investing huge amounts to construct nuclear plants. One such example is of the recent Japan Fukushima accident on 11 March 2011.

Those who educate children well are more to be honored than they who produce them; for these only gave them life, those the art of living well. ~ Aristotle Education is very important for everyone. A good teacher helps us become a good human being in the society. Not only does it enlighten a child's future, but also brightens the country's future.

Education is one of the key features required to independently sustain in this society. Like food, water and sun; education is also a must for everyone. But how much importance do we give to it? The literacy rate of a country defines its prosperity. It is directly proportional to the country's socio-economic development. Literacy rate of India is 74.04% currently. There is a wide difference between the literacy rate of men and women. According to 2011 census(official), the literacy rate of men is 82.14% while for women it is 65.45% this had a huge impact on India’s development. However, nowadays researchers are happy to hear that this gap is reducing. Education is equal and important for everyone. Classroom is generally a place where multi-cultured people are allowed to study together without discrimination and differences. Various government policies has brought considerable hike in India’s literacy from then. Some examples of those are:- Till 1994, Bihar was the only

Our honorable ex-President Dr. APJ Abdul Kalam’s desire was to introduce entrepreneurship learning in the Indian education syllabus at the school level.
