The role of a teacher in everyone'slife is great as they are the onlyvisual source of knowledge for

their students. They helps us to improveour knowledge, skill level, confidenceas well as they shape us in the rightdirection to get success. We all as anobedient student need to do a heartilywelcome and say them wishful thanksfor their selfless service of teachings allthrough the life. Teacher's day is cele-brated every year on the birth anniver-sary of a great leader Dr. SarvapalliRadhakrishnan. He was highly dedicat-ed towards the teaching profession. It issaid that, once he was approached bysome students and requested for cele-brating his birthday on 5th ofSeptember. And he replied that insteadof celebrating it my birthday only, youshould celebrated it as a teachers day to

pay honor to all teachers for their greatworks and contributions. Teachers arethe real shapers of the future buildingblocks as they shape up the students lifewho are ultimately the future ofthe country.

Importance of ateacher

In India, teaching isnot considered asjust a profession butit is believed as aworship that canbuild a student insuch a manner sothat he can choose abetter way in life.Teacher is the personwho is treated as mostrespected person in a studentlife due to his unconditional effort andsupport for shaping and making his aca-demic career and future bright and suc-

cessful. A good teacher plays an impor-tant role for making his student person-ally a good human being. Teachers arethe real fortune maker and always try to

do their best for the student's suc-cess. Thus students can

never pay the debt madeby their teacher for

making them a suc-cessful person inlife.

Teachers Day isthe only day whenstudents get chanceto pay tribute and

give a huge thank fortheir teacher's uncon-

ditional and unselfishefforts and hard work in

making them a good person. InIndia, all the schools and colleges cele-brate Teachers day in different ways.Cultural functions are arranged by stu-

dents for the appreciation of teacherswhich includes drama, competition ofsinging, dancing, mimicry and manyother things. Students show their love,affection and respect towards theirfavorite teachers by offering cards,flower or some special gifts. They pre-pare a little speech in honor to theirrespected teachers.

We, the people of India have alwaysrespect and grateful to our teachersbeyond any other person in our life. Webelieve that our hard work, determina-tion and a good teacher can take us tothe unlimited heights of success in life.By celebrating Teachers day, we justwant to say a warm thanks to ourrespected teachers and give a tribute tothose famed teachers who have servedtheir complete life for country's future.A good teacher is like a candle - it con-sumes itself to light the way for others.

Plastic pollution can be defined asaccumulation of plastic productsthat adversely affects the environ-

ment namely the wildlife, flora, faunaand even human life. Based on size, plastics pollutants can

be classified into micro, meso, ormacro debris. Plastic being inexpensiveand durable it lends to high level ofplastic use by humans. However, due toits slow rate of degradation it is harm-ful to the environment. Plastic pollutioncan unfavorably affect lands, water-ways and oceans. Living organisms,particularly marine animals can also beaffected through entanglement, directingestion of plastic waste, or throughexposure to chemicals within plasticsthat cause interruptions in biologicalfunctions.Decomposition of plastics Plastics themselves contribute toapproximately 10 per cent of discardedwaste. Many kinds of plastics existdepending on their precursors and themethod for their polymerization.Depending on their chemical composi-tion, plastics and resins have varyingproperties related to contaminantabsorption and adsorption. Polymerdegradation takes much longer as aresult of haline environments and thecooling effect of the sea. Effects on the environmentThe distribution of plastic debris ishighly variable as a result of certainfactors such as wind and ocean cur-rents, coastline geography, urban areas,and trade routes. Human population incertain areas also plays a large role inthis. Plastics are more likely to befound in enclosed regions such as the

Caribbean. It serves as a means of dis-tribution of organisms to remote coaststhat are not their native environments.This could potentially increase the vari-ability and dispersal of organisms inspecific areas that are less biologicallydiverse. Plastics can also be used asvectors for chemical contaminants suchas persistent organic pollutants andheavy metals.LandChlorinated plastic can release harmfulchemicals into the surrounding soil,which can thenseep into ground-water or other sur-rounding watersources and alsothe ecosystem.Landfill areascontain many dif-ferent types ofplastics. In theselandfills, there aremany microor-ganisms whichspeed up thebiodegradation ofplastics. Thesebacteria breakdown nylon through the activity of thenylonase enzyme. Oceans One study estimated that there are morethan 5 trillion plastic pieces (definedinto the four classes of small microplas-tics, large microplastics, meso- andmacroplastics) afloat at sea. The litterthat is being delivered into the oceans istoxic to marine life, and humans. Thetoxins that are components of plasticinclude diethylhexyl phthalate, whichis a toxic carcinogen, as well as lead,cadmium, and mercury. The majority of

the litter near and in the ocean is madeup of plastics and is a persistent perva-sive source of marine pollution.Effects on animals Plastic pollution has the potential topoison animals, which can thenadversely affect human food supplies.Plastic pollution has been described asbeing highly detrimental to largemarine mammals. The bookIntroduction to Marine Biology says itis the single greatest threat to marinecreatures like turtles, have been found

to contain largeproportions of plas-tics in their stom-ach. When thisoccurs, the animaltypically starves,because the plasticblocks the animal'sdigestive tract. EntanglementAnimals often getentangled and ultil-mated die due torestricted locomo-tion, suffocation,starvation ordrowning. Plastic

debris has been responsible for thedeaths of many marine organisms suchas fish, seals, turtles and birds. As theyare unable to untangle themselves, theyalso die from starvation or from theirinability to escape predators. Ingestion by Marine animals Sea turtles, jelly fish, whales ingestplastic debris and die as their digestivesystem gets obstructed. Some of thetiniest bits of plastic are being con-sumed by small fish, in a part of thepelagic zone in the ocean called theMesopelagic zone, which is 200 to

1000 metres below the ocean surface,and completely dark. Not much isknown about these fish, other than thatthere are many of them. They hide inthe darkness of the ocean, avoidingpredators and then swimming to theocean's surface at night to feed. Deepsea animals have been found with plas-tics in their stomachs.BirdsPlastic pollution also affects seabirds. Itwas estimated that gulls in the NorthSea had an average of thirty pieces ofplastic in their stomachs. Seabirds oftenmistake trash floating on the ocean'ssurface as prey. Their food sourcesoften have already ingested plasticdebris, thus transferring the plasticfrom prey to predator. Ingested trashcan obstruct and physically damage abird's digestive system, reducing itsdigestive ability and can lead to malnu-trition, starvation, and death. Effects on humansDue to the use of chemical additivesduring plastic production, plastics havepotentially harmful effects that couldprove to be carcinogenic or promoteendocrine disruption. Humans can beexposed to these chemicals through thenose, mouth, or skin. Although thelevel of exposure varies depending onage and geography, most humans expe-rience simultaneous exposure to manyof these chemicals. Clinical significanceDue to the pervasiveness of plasticproducts, most of the human populationis constantly exposed to the chemicalcomponents of plastics. Exposure tochemicals such as BPA have been cor-related with disruptions in fertility,reproduction, sexual maturation andother health effects.

TOP QUOTES BY DR AMBEDKAR YOU OUGHT TO KNOW

uThe relationship between

husband and wife should be

one of closest friends.

uIf I find the constitution

being misused, I shall be the

first to burn it.

uCultivation of mind

should be the ultimate aim

of human existence.

uI like the religion that

teaches liberty, equality and

fraternity.

uIndifferentism is the

worst kind of disease that

can affect people.

uEquality may be a fiction

but nonetheless one must

accept it as a governing prin-

ciple.

uHumans are mortal. So

are ideas. An idea needs

propagation as much as a

plant needs watering.

Otherwise both will wither

and die.

uThough, I was born a

Hindu, I solemnly assure you

that I will not die as a Hindu.

uDemocracy is not merely a

form of Government. It is pri-

marily a mode of associated

living, of conjoint communi-

cated experience. It is essen-

tially an attitude of respect

and reverence towards our fel-

low men.

uIt is not enough to be elec-

tors only. It is necessary to

be law-makers; otherwise

those who can be law-mak-

ers will be the masters of

those who can only be elec-

tors.

uLost rights are never

regained by appeals to the

conscience of the usurpers,

but by relentless struggle....

Goats are used for sacrificial

offerings and not lions.

uConstitution is not a mere

lawyers document, it is a

vehicle of Life, and its spirit

is always the spirit of Age.

uSo long as you do not

achieve social liberty, whatev-

er freedom is provided by the

law is of no avail to you.

uSlavery does not merely

mean a legalised form of sub-

jection. It means a state of

society in which some men

are forced to accept from oth-

ers the purposes which control

their conduct.

uEvery man who repeats

the dogma of Mill that one

country is no fit to rule

another country must admit

that one class is not fit to

rule another class.
