World Ozone Day 2020

World Ozone Day 16 SEP 2020

"World Ozone Day:2020 The slogan of the day, ‘Ozone for life’, reminds us that not only is ozone crucial for life on Earth but that we must continue to protect the ozone layer for future generations."

World Ozone Day is observed on September 16, every year. It is celebrated to spread awareness among people about the depletion of the Ozone Layer and search for possible solutions to preserve it. On this day, people from all over the world are expected to join the Montreal protocol to join the talks and seminars. A number of commonly used chemicals have been found to be extremely damaging to the ozone layer.

Life on Earth would not be possible without sunlight. But the energy emanating from the sun would be too much for life on Earth to thrive were it not for the ozone layer. This stratospheric layer shields Earth from most of the sun’s harmful ultraviolet radiation.

The Ozone layer or also known as the Ozone shield, a delicate layer of gas, in the Earth’s stratosphere absorbs most of the Sun’s ultraviolet rays. These rays can cause numerous skin diseases.

World Ozone Day: History

On December 19, 1994, the United Nations General Assembly proclaimed September 16 the International Day for the Preservation of the Ozone Layer, commemorating the date, in 1987, on which the Montreal Protocol on Substances that Deplete the Ozone Layer was signed.

On September 16, 1987, the United Nations and 45 other countries signed the Montreal Protocol, on substances that deplete the Ozone layer. Every year, this day is celebrated as the International Day for the Preservation of the Ozone layer.

The purpose of the Montreal Protocol is to protect the Ozone layer by reducing the production of substances that are supposed to be responsible for Ozone layer depletion.

World Ozone Day: Theme

“Ozone for life” is the slogan for World Ozone Day 2020. This year, we celebrate 35 years of global ozone layer protection.

The slogan of the day, “Ozone for life”, reminds us that ozone is crucial for our life on Earth and we must continue to protect the ozone layer for our future generations also.

This year, we celebrate 35 years of the Vienna Convention and 35 years of global ozone layer protection.

What is the Ozone layer?

The Ozone layer is a piece of the atmosphere that has high ozone concentrations. Ozone is a gas that is made of three oxygen atoms O3. Depending on where the ozone layer is, it can either harm life or protect life on Earth.

Most of the ozone stays within the stratosphere whereby it acts as a shield, protecting the surface of the Earth from the harmful ultraviolet radiation of the sun. If this shield was to weaken, we would all be more susceptible to impaired immune systems, cataracts, and skin cancer.

             हिंदी दिवस 14 सितंबर 2020

हर साल हिंदी दिवस 14 सितंबर को मनाया जाता है।  इस दिन ही देवनागरी लिपि में हिंदी को भारत की आधिकारिक भाषा के रूप में अपनाया गया था। साल 1953 में पहली बार हिंदी दिवस का आयोजन हुआ था। तभी से यह सिलसिला बना हुआ है। हिंदी दिवस को मनाने का उद्देश्य हिंदी भाषा की स्थिति और विकास पर मंथन को ध्यान में रखना है। देश में करीब 77 प्रतिशत से भी ज्यादा लोग हिंदी बोलते हैं।

भारत की मुख्य भाषा हिंदी को कब मिली पहचान-

14 सितंबर 1949 को व्यौहार राजेंद्र सिम्हा के 50 वें जन्मदिन पर हिंदी को आधिकारिक भाषा (Official Language) के रूप में अपनाया गया और इसके बाद प्रचार-प्रसार को आगे बढ़ाने के प्रयासों में तेजी आई. भारत के संविधान द्वारा 26 जनवरी 1950 को यह निर्णय लागू किया गया था. भारतीय संविधान के अनुच्छेद 343 (Article 343) के तहत देवनागरी लिपि (Devanagari Script) में लिखी गई हिंदी (120 से अधिक भाषाओं में प्रयुक्त होने वाली लिपि) को आधिकारिक भाषा के रूप में अपनाया गया था. 

सरकारी कार्यालयों और शिक्षण संस्थानों में 15 दिन तक हिंदी पखवाड़ा मनाया जाता है। 14 सितंबर 1949 को संविधान सभा की ओर से हिंदी को आजाद भारत की मुख्य भाषा का दर्जा प्राप्त हुआ था। इसका उल्लेख संविधान के अनुच्छेद 343 (1) में किया गया है। अनुच्छेद के अनुसार भारत की राजभाषा ‘हिंदी’ और लिपि ‘देवनागरी’ है।

क्यों मनाया जाता है हिंदी दिवस-

हिंदी दिवस के मौके पर देशभर के स्कूलों, कॉलेज और शैक्षणिक संस्थानों में कई तरह की प्रतियोगिताओं का आयोजन किया जाता है। हिंदी पूरे विश्व में चौथी सबसे ज्यादा बोली जाने वाली भाषा है। वहीं दूसरी ओर भारत में अन्य कई भाषाएं विलुप्त हो रही हैं। जो चिंतन का विषय है। ऐसे में हिंदी की महत्ता बताने और प्रचार-प्रसार के लिए हिंदी दिवस को मनाया जाता है।

गृह मंत्रालय ने 25 मार्च 2015 के अपने आदेश में हिंदी दिवस पर प्रतिवर्ष दिए जाने वाले दो पुरस्कारों के नाम बदल दिए थे. 1986 में स्थापित इंदिरा गांधी राजभाषा पुरस्कार को बदलकर राजभाषा कीर्ति पुरस्कार’ और राजीव गांधी राष्ट्रीय ज्ञान-विज्ञान मौलिक लेखन पुरस्कार  को बदलकर राजभाषा गौरव पुरस्कार कर दिया गया था.

International Literacy Day 2020

 International Literacy Day 8 September 2020

"Let us remember: One Book, One Pen, one child and one teacher can change the world"   Malala Yousafzai

International Literacy Day 2020: The day spread awareness about the importance of literacy. Therefore, it is necessary to raise the literary issues faced by people across the world. The theme of International Literacy Day 2020 according to the UN is "Literacy teaching and learning in the COVID-19 crisis and beyond." The theme highlights literacy learning from a lifelong learning perspective and therefore focuses on youth and adults.

International Literacy Day 2020: It is observed on 8 September across the globe to promote and support the development of literacy and skills, universal access to quality education, and learning opportunities throughout people’s lives. 

International Literacy Day: History

On 26 October 1966, UNESCO proclaimed 8 September as International Literacy Day to combat worldwide issues of illiteracy. The purpose was not only to combat illiteracy but also to promote literacy as a tool that could empower individuals as well as whole communities. Due to this many people around the globe will get employment opportunities and will improve their lives. Do you know that the idea of an International Literacy Day was born at the World Conference of Ministers of Education on the eradication of illiteracy held in Tehran in 1965? This day was also adopted as the part of UN's sustainable development goals program in 2015. The issue of literacy is a key component of the UN's Sustainable Development Goals and the UN's 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development.

Importance of International Literacy Day

UNESCO has been central to improve literacy worldwide and that is why promotes International Literacy Day in partnership with governments, charities, local communities, and experts in the field worldwide. By adopting various themes every year wants to turn attention on literacy in all its forms in a changing world. No doubt without literacy we can't make changes in the world and also can't improve our living being.

According to UNESCO "Literacy is the best remedy" which is the key to the right for all to an education. Also, we all know that UNESCO sustainable development goals mobilise efforts to eradicate poverty and inequalities across the world, and improving literacy rates are an integral element.

And helps a person to fight with all his foes

A ladder that takes us to the height where we belong
