Importance of outdoor activities
Schools play a vital role in grooming our children, be it in terms of education or in other activities. Today, we are so busy that we satisfy our children’s recreational needs by providing them electronic gadgets. Outdoor games play a crucial role in making our child physically, socially and emotionally strong. The benefits of outdoor exercise and fresh air have been appreciated for generations. New studies have put light on some lesser known benefits of outdoors games and exercise for children. City schools must have the facilities of outdoor games in schools. Rather, it should be made compulsory for every child to opt for some game as students are becoming couch potatoes and lazy these days.

Cattle menace in the city
Stray cattle roam freely on city roads posing a threat to the commuters. It is more risky to drive in the night as it is difficult to spot cows sitting in the middle of roads. In budget 2015-16, the Finance Minister announced a project on gaushalas but we can’t wait for the implementation of the project. The existing gaushalas authority should adopt measures to ensure safety from the cattle menace.
