 Interview with Ms. Rinku Kumari: Passion for Teaching and Classroom Joy 

RP: Why did you choose to become a teacher?

RP: How do you handle students who don't pay attention in class?

RKI: I handle them by first helping them sit properly and focus. Then, I give tasks and activities to keep them engaged. This helps them concentrate better and encourages active participation.

RP: Can you share a memorable moment from your teaching career?

I don’t believe in strict rules; instead, I guide them to respect themselves, friends, and everyone around, creating a positive learning environment.

बाल दिवस

भारत में 14 नवम्बर को बाल दिवस बड़े उत्साह के साथ मनाया जाता है। यह दिन हमारे पहले प्रधानमंत्री पंडित जवाहरलाल नेहरू की जन्म जयंती के रूप में भी जाना जाता है। नेहरूजी बच्चों से बहुत प्रेम करते थे और बच्चों को ‘चाचा नेहरू’ कहकर बुलाते थे। बाल दिवस बच्चों के अधिकारों, संरक्षण और उज्जवल भविष्य का महत्व समझाने का अवसर है। इस दिन स्कूलों में खेल, सांस्कृतिक कार्यक्रम, चित्रकला प्रतियोगिताएं, भाषण व नाटक आदि होते हैं, जिनसे बच्चों की प्रतिभा सामने आती है। नेहरूजी का मानना था कि बच्चे देश का भविष्य हैं और उन्हें सही शिक्षा, सुरक्षित वातावरण व प्रेम मिले तो वे एक बेहतर राष्ट्र बना सकते हैं। बाल दिवस हमें बच्चों के विकास, सपनों और खुशियों को प्राथमिकता देने की प्रेरणा देता है।

Value of Time

Time is life’s most valuable asset. It flows continuously, has no beginning or end, and can neither be created nor destroyed. While money can be earned, lost time never returns. Those who understand the importance of time use it productively and balance work with family and friends. Making good use of time ensures success and fulfillment.
