A common problem that villages face is the lack of lighting on the roads and pathways and considering the rural surroundings, it can get quite risky for the villagers to walk around in the night as there can be snakes and more. A team of students affiliated to Hyderabad Youth Assembly (HYA) took it upon themselves to get street lights installed in Chenchupally village under Vikarabad Mandal and within a couple of weeks after initiating it, they managed to install five solar-powered street lights in that village.<\/p>
About the initiative, a team member Sravya informs, \"Samutsaha (our team) wanted to implement Goal 7 (Affordable and clean energy- ensure access to affordable, sustainable and clean energy for all) of the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals as decided by the assembly and that why we decided to go with illuminating roads in a rural place.\"<\/p>"},{"type":"img","id":"img-uid-1578489723106","data":"5e15cbb4d91ba"},{"type":"txt","id":"rich_1578489723107","data":"
They spent a couple of weeks scouting for a suitable place and narrowed down to five villages and they conducted surveys in each village before finally zeroing down on Chenchupally. \"Mr. Ramakrishna, a teacher and a resident of Chevella has been associated with our parent organisation - Street Cause - for over a decade now and when we approached him with this plan, he suggested five villages and asked us to do our homework on those villages. Out of those five villages, we realised that two of them weren't feasible and two would get a very minimal impact so we decided to go with Chenchupally,\" shares Sravya. <\/p>
The team of 11 students from various colleges raised a whopping Rs. 65, 840 just by getting donations from their friends and families for this. \"When we started getting information as to what it would cost and all, we came to know it would cost about Rs. 13,000 per light. Having raised the money before the assembly through donations from friends and family members, we then took the permission of the government authorities and the Sarpanch of the village and finally, on December 22, 2019, we installed those lights there,\" says Sravya, who is a student of St. Francis. <\/p>"},{"type":"txt","id":"rich_1578489723108","data":"

That was the darkest day of her life. She knelt down, glancing at her serene face,in the shredded pieces of glass,scattered down on the floor. Yelling in pain, tears rolling down her cheeks .Soon, she gathered her wit and put on a wry smile .This was the end of the woeful day, she thought . She believed, no matter what ;her big dreams didn't worth a short living. She deserved the best. Grabbing all the unsettling emotions ,she tucked them into a sepulcher ,from which they'd never return. She'd made a silent pact with her stubborn will. An agreement; that encouraged her to raise .Rise above all and\"shine\". She rose straight; stood tall, walked through those shattered pieces,'cause broken glass could no longer hurt her.They cut her wings with those same pieces and now,cuts,aches and burns didn't bother her anymore.<\/p>

As soon as the Citizenship Amendment Bill was passed in both houses of parliament and given presidential nod making it law, loud murmurs started about another move - the National Register of Citizens or NRC. what is NRC and does it really create a problem together with CAA ? <\/p>
NRC is the National Register of Citizens. The NRC identified illegal immigrants from Assam on the Supreme court's order. This has been a state-specific exercise to keep it's ethnic uniqueness unaltered. But ever since it's implementation, there has been a growing demand for its nationwide implementation. Now, many top BJP leaders including Home Minister Amit Shah have proposed that the NRC in Assam be implemented across India. It effectively suggests to bring in a legislation that will enable the government to identify infiltrators who have been living in India illegally, detain them and deport them to where they came from.<\/p>
The proposed Bill, which till now remains just a proposal, if implemented will target illegal immigrants in India. But Hindus, Christians, Sikhs, Buddhist, Jains and Parris coming from Afghanistan, Pakistan and Bangladesh won't be affected, if they claim they have arrived India after fleeing religious persecution. Which essentially means, if a nationwide NRC comes in as proposed, any illegal immigrant from other than Pakistan, Afghanistan and Bangladesh, will be affected. And as for those three nations, people coming from there who belong to muslim community will also be affected as they are not included in the Citizenship Amendment Act.<\/p>

We don't understand love and yet we are convinced that we do. We talk a lot of love but generally in terms of a dizzying rapture lasting a few months focussed on someone's beauty, intelligence and strength.

Recovery is hard, regret is harder.<\/i><\/p>
It's no secret that teenagers are risk-takers who don't always recognize the consequences of their actions. Cannabis<\/b> is the most common illegal drug used by teenagers, with around one in five having tried it at least once. Parents worry a lot about their child becoming dependent on drugs, such as methamphetamines (speed and ice), ecstasy, heroin, and cocaine.<\/p>
The youth today are more confused, more rebel, more emotionally troubled and less idealistic.\n\nThere are no much stronger reasons for a student to get drug-addicted but most of them include curiosity, stress, peer pressure, emotional struggles and moreover, a desire to escape. <\/p>
Statics reveal that deaths caused by drugs and smoking exceeds those caused by aids and accidents. Youth that is involved in drug abuse are led into a criminal life. Teens addicted to drugs try to exhibit high-risk behaviors like violence, destruction of property, poor performance in studies and profound health issues such as:<\/p>
-> Brain damage<\/p>
-> Lung diseases<\/p>
-> Loss of appetite<\/p>
-> Abnormal heart rate and even heart strokes<\/p>
-> Problems with memory and decision making<\/p>
-> Death<\/p>
International day against drug abuse is celebrated on 26th June of every year. Preventive measures include increasing social competence, strengthening personal commitments against drugs and family members are instructed to observe their teens and stay in touch with their friends and notice the changes in the behavior and to take necessary preventive measures.<\/p>
Drug addiction is not only a sickness but also a crime. One person may addict and the whole family including society suffers. \"If you can quit for a day, you can quit for a lifetime<\/i>\".<\/p>

While the climate of Hyderabad is not as bad as it gets up in North India, winters here can be pretty bad. Though December 2019 is being considered to be a warm winter in comparison to the previous years, the temperature plummeted to 14\u00b0C in the last week of December. Now that is cold enough to make us want to huddle up in our hoodies and blankets with a cup of hot chocolate at home but there are many, who are not fortunate enough to be able to afford even a basic shelter over their heads. According to some surveys, the number of homeless people in Hyderabad is around 1500 while the true number could be way higher. Homelessness in conjunction with low temperatures like that can even lead to deaths. That is the sad reality.<\/p>
However, a bunch of students from Guru Nanak Institution, associated with the Street Cause chapter of that college, decided to take it up into their own hands and do their part to protect the homeless from the bitter cold. In the last week of December, these students went around the city, scouting for homeless people and gave them blankets to ensure they have minimal warmth at the very least.<\/p>"},{"type":"img","id":"img-uid-1578401891811","data":"5e142a4ba346e"},{"type":"txt","id":"rich_1578401891812","data":"

While it seems like an easy thing to do, just buying blankets and distributing them to the needy, it wasn't the case as they had to raise over Rs. 12950 to buy whose blankets and they had to scout for the needy.

New semester is always exciting especially when it starts in New Year. Everyone around us is happy, cheerful and music of joy is heard everywhere. Students including me are determined to achieve our goals. We make many promises based on our past semester, hoping to make things better this time. <\/p>

We try internships, volunteer for college programs and many more.

But this time, let's take a different approach. I think we constantly fail because we try to accomplish so many things at once. So, this time let us sign up for one thing from which one cannot withdraw. There should be no escape rooms. No matter how hard it gets, we will stick to it and make it our superpower.<\/p>
