I 'm proud on myself ?

It is really painful and hurting when your identity becomes unknown to you in such a manner that you wish not to say it by yourself since you made it selflessly. Experiencing that you made it yet you do not want to disclose it as it deserves more respect so that you can say "I am proud of myself" and your identity becomes happiness for your family. If there are contradictions in this criterion then there must be something wrong which is causing differences in leveling.    

Optimism Is The Key

Having a positive attitude is important. It’s important not only when it comes to how you view yourself but also when it comes to viewing life in general. Admittedly, thinking in a positive way is not always easy — especially as you deal with life’s ups and downs. Once you start to recognize the positive things that already exist in your life and learn how to see them even in the face of adversity, positive thinking can become YOUR mode of thinking. Always Be Optimistic

Millennium Development Goals

What is MDG:

In September 2000, the largest-ever gathering of world leaders ushered in the new millennium by adopting the Millennium Declaration. The Declaration, endorsed by 189 countries, was then translated into a road map setting out goals to be reached by 2015.

The eight Millennium Development Goals (MDGs) build on agreements made at United Nations conferences in the 1990s and represent commitments by all countries to reduce poverty and hunger, and to tackle ill-health, gender inequality, lack of education, lack of access to clean water and environmental degradation.

The MDGs are framed as a compact, which recognizes both the efforts that must be undertaken by developing countries, and the contribution that developed countries can make through trade, development assistance, debt relief, access to essential medicines and technology transfer.

• Economic transformation since early 1990s without corresponding positive change in social development.
• Uneven expansion of social opportunities with growing disparities across regions, castes, sex and other characteristics.

Striking features:
• Every second young child in India is malnourished
• Less than ¼ of rural population use toilets
• Only 4 out of 10 girls who enrol complete eight years of schooling

There are two prominent trends in India: impressive economic growth and wealth creation; and stagnation in key social indicators, particularly among disadvantaged populations (i.e. geographically, by caste, gender). The rapid growth of the economy since the early 1990s, and the Government of India’s (GOI) increased commitment to accelerating social development, present a unique opportunity.

Since the inception of the ambitious 10th Five Year Plan in 2003, current rates of progress on many indicators are not sufficient to meet many of the child-related National Development Targets by 2007, nor the Millennium Development Goals (MDGs) by 2015.

Greater effort and focus must be directed to enrolling all children in the development process through improved management and provision of quality basic social services, promoting child-related behavior change within households, and mobilizing the community to become more involved in the management of services for children.

Background

India is increasingly recognized as a global power in key economic sectors. There have also been positive trends on certain social indicators, particularly those that respond to vertical, campaign-like approaches: the near eradication of polio; a significant increase in literacy rates; and the enrollment of both boys and girls in primary school. However, progress has been slow in areas requiring systemic changes, such as in the provision of good quality services (i.e. primary health care and community-based nutrition services). There has also been limited change in the practice of key behaviors related to child well-being, such as hand washing and exclusive breastfeeding. The HIV/AIDS epidemic continues to spread and poses a significant threat. Issues related to child protection, including trafficking and child labour, are becoming more pronounced. Repeated and extensive emergencies such as the tsunami, flooding and earthquakes have also adversely affected the lives of children in India. This uneven development path has been further exacerbated by striking and persistent inequities by gender, caste and geography.

GOI has adopted ambitious targets related to children that are in line with, and at times more ambitious than, the MDGS. Centrally-sponsored schemes have increased public resources to key sectors, notably the "Sarva Shiksha Abhiyan" in education (the national policy to universalize primary education), the Reproductive and Child Health Programme II, the National Rural Health Mission and the Integrated Child Development Services. The challenge remains to convert these commitments and resources into measurable results for all children, especially those belonging to socially disadvantaged and marginalized communities. 

As the graph below indicates, the importance of India to the achievement of the global MDGs cannot be overstated. Some 42% of households without latrines globally are in India, and Indian children make up one-third of the world’s malnourished children.

Wishes and Visions

In life everyone has wishes, has ambitions and me too. Wishes varies time to time and priority changes as per situations. Some like to be on any specific position in any field whether it be a service, sports, research, business, industry or creativity fields. My ambition of professional life had limited options and I ever tried to prepare myself mentally to acquire the status of mind that effectively meet the criteria for my object but my wishes always involved such subjects that not only for me but also for the benefit of family, friends and needy people and unselfishly. I got the opportunity and I utilized it and made clear vision to get the maximum from it. Though this is in its initial stage but the hands to keep the spirit up are ready so my enthusiasm is boosted yet something is left to meet because everything is not in my hand and I came at the level where all basic necessity done and waiting for initiation of its next stage where actual results will be displayed. 

But before all I will give priority to my settle my life and acquire the required space for living normal satisfactory life for me and my family with profession except this I will join waving hands that are ready to join to uplift the needy people, eradicate evils around us and prepare a better social view that supports humanity and development. 

Though we do our best and yet it's ups and downs in life but be optimistic.     

Live Moments

Life begins at the end of your comfort zone.

Nobody can go back and start a new beginning, but anyone can start today and make a new ending.

I choose…to live by choice, not by chance. To make changes, not excuses. To be motivated, not manipulated. To be useful, not used. To excel, not compete. I choose self-esteem, not self pity. I choose to listen to my inner voice. Not the random opinion of others.

Life is too short. Grudges are a waste of perfect happiness.
Laugh when you can, apologize when you should and let go of
what you can’t change. Love deeply and forgive quickly. Take
chances. Give everything and have no regrets. Life is too
short to be unhappy. You have to take the good with the bad.
Smile when you’re sad, love what you got, and always remember
what you had. Always forgive, but never forget. Learn from
your mistakes but never regret. People change, and things go
wrong but always remember – life goes on!

"Always live each and every moment in totality that means be aware and be conscientious of what you do, where you do and how you do." :-*

Children's Day

"Children Day",

India's Children's Day is celebrated on November 14, the birthday of India's first Prime Minister Pandit Jawaharlal Nehru. Most schools hold cultural performances on this day, run by the children themselves, and teachers also get involved to make it a day to enjoy and remember. Nehru emphasized the importance of giving love and affection to children, who he saw as the bright future of India, and this ideal is celebrated on this day.

"Children Day", as an event, is celebrated on various days in many places around the world, in particular to honor children. Major global variants include a Universal Children's Day on November 20, by United Nations recommendation.

"International Children Day"

The World Conference for the Well-being of Children in Geneva, Switzerland proclaimed June 1 to be International Children's Day in 1925. It is not clear as to why June 1 was chosen as the International Children's Day: one theory has it that the Chinese consul-general in San Francisco (USA) gathered a number of Chinese orphans to celebrate the Dragon Boat Festival in 1925, which was on June 1. that year, and also coincided with the conference in Geneva.

The holiday is celebrated on 1 June each year. It is usually marked with speeches on children's rights and well being, children TV programs, parties, various actions involving or dedicated to children, families going out, etc.

"Universal Children's Day"

Universal Children's Day take place on November 20 annually. First proclaimed by the United Nations General Assembly in 1954, it was established to encourage all countries to institute a day, firstly to promote mutual exchange and understanding among children and secondly to initiate action to benefit and promote the welfare of the world's children. It was also chosen as the day to celebrate childhood. Universal Children's Day is preceded by International Men's Day on November 19 creating a 48 hour celebration of men and children respectively during which time the positive roles men play in children's lives are recognized.

The holiday was first celebrated worldwide in October 1953, under the sponsorship of International Union for Child Welfare in Geneva. The idea of a Universal Children's Day was adopted by the United Nations General Assembly in 1954.

November 20 is also the anniversary of the day when the United Nations General Assembly adopted the [Declaration of the Rights of the Child] in 1959. The Convention on the Rights of the Child was then signed on the same day in 1989, which has since been ratified by 191 states.

**

In fact, on November 20th 1959, the UN adopted the Children’s rights declaration, and on November 20th 1989, almost all of the states taking part in the UN ratified the International Convention for Children’s rights.To this day, only the United-States and Somalia have not ratified this convention.
