  • National Consumer Rights Day
    India observes
    National Consumer Rights Day on 24 December annually with a particular theme across the country.
    The Consumer Protection Act, 1986 had received the assent of the president on this day.
    No doubt it is considered a historic milestone in the consumer movement in the country.
    This day also provides awareness about consumer rights and responsibilities.
    There is a background to this day's importance for all types of consumers.
    Before the mid-twentieth century, consumers had limited rights with regard to their interaction with products and commercial producers.
    Consumers had limited ground on which to defend themselves against faulty or defective products, or against misleading or deceptive advertising methods.
    The consumer movement began to gather a following, pushing for increased rights and legal protection against malicious business practices.
    By the end of the 1950s, legal product liability had been established
    in which an aggrieved party need only prove injury by use of a product,
    rather than bearing the burden of proof of corporate negligence.
    Helen Ewing Nelson was a drafter of the Consumer Bill of Rights and sought an outlet for distributing it.
    During Kennedy's election campaign he made a promise to support consumers.
    After his election, Fred Dutton, a colleague of Nelson's and a government officer who advised the president,
    asked for Nelson's suggestions on how the president could support consumers, and she sent him the Consumer Bill of Rights.
    Kennedy presented those rights in a speech to Congress on March 15, 1962.
    In that speech he named four basic rights of consumers.
    Originally there were four rights mentioned for the consumers
    First is the The right to safety
    The assertion of this right is aimed at the defense of consumers against injuries caused by products other than automobile vehicles,
    and implies that products should cause no harm to their users if such use is executed as prescribed.
    The right was further formalized in 1972 by the US federal government through the Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC).
    This organization has jurisdiction over thousands of commercial products, and powers that allow it
    to establish performance standards and require product testing and warning labels.
    Second is the The right to be informed
    This right states that business should always provide consumers with enough appropriate information to make intelligent and informed product choices.
    Product information provided by business should always be complete, truthful and also appropriate.
    Aiming to achieve protection against misleading information in the areas of financing, advertising, labeling, and packaging,
    the right to be informed is protected by several pieces of legislation passed between 1960 and 80.
    Third right is The right to choose
    The right to free choice among product offerings states that consumers should have a variety of options provided by different companies from which to choose.
    The federal government has taken many steps to ensure the availability of a healthy environment open to competition through legislation
    including limits on concept ownership through patent law, prevention of monopolistic business practices through anti-trust legislation,
    and the outlaw of price cutting and gouging.
    The fourth is The right to be heard
    This right has the ability of consumers to voice complaints and concerns about a product in order to have the issue handled efficiently and responsively.
    While no federal agency is tasked with the specific duty of providing a forum for this interaction between consumer and producer,
    certain outlets exist to aid consumers if difficulty occurs in communication with an aggrieving party.
    State and federal attorneys general are equipped to aid their constituents in dealing with parties
    who have provided a product or service in a manner unsatisfactory to the consumer in violation of an applicable law.

    the birth anniversary of former- Late Prime Minister Atal Bihari Vajpayee.
    Good Governance Day was established in 2014 to honor Prime Minister Vajpayee
    by fostering awareness among the Indian people of accountability in government.
    In keeping with this principle, the Government of India has decreed Good Governance Day to be a working day for the government.
    On 23 December 2014, the ninety-year old former Prime Minister Atal Bihari Vajpayee,
    and Pandit Madan Mohan Malaviya (posthumously) were announced as recipients of India's highest civilian award for merit,
    the Bharat Ratna, by Indian President Pranab Mukherjee.
    Following the announcement, the newly elected administration of Prime Minister Narendra Modi established
    that the birth anniversary of the former Prime Minister would be henceforth commemorated annually in India as Good Governance Day.
    Many contributions were given by the Atal Bihari Vajpayee Government in the NDA tenure.
    So the simple, hardworking, plain speaking Politician gave the new generation in the Indian politics a new direction and motivation.

  • Merry Christmas
    Christmas day is celebrated every year on 25th December All over the world cutting across different communities.
    This day has much significance in entire continents of the world.
    According to the information
    Given in Wikipedia
    The Christmas day has following significance.
    Christmas (or the Feast of the Nativity) is an annual festival commemorating the birth of Jesus Christ,
    observed primarily on December 25 as a religious and cultural celebration among billions of people around the world.
    A feast central to the Christian liturgical year, it is preceded by the season of Advent or the Nativity Fast
    and initiates the season of Christmastide, which historically in the West lasts twelve days and culminates on Twelfth Night;
    in some traditions, Christmastide includes an octave.
    Christmas Day is a public holiday in many of the world's nations, is celebrated religiously by a majority of Christians, as well as culturally by many non-Christians, and forms an integral part of the holiday season centered around it.
    The traditional Christmas narrative, the Nativity of Jesus, delineated in the New Testament says that Jesus was born in Bethlehem, in accordance with messianic prophecies.
    When Joseph and Mary arrived in the city, the inn had no room and so they were offered a stable where the Christ Child was soon born,
    with angels proclaiming this news to shepherds who then further disseminated the information.
    Although the month and date of Jesus' birth are unknown, the church in the early fourth century fixed the date as December 25.
    This corresponds to the date of the winter solstice on the Roman calendar.
    Most Christians celebrate on December 25 in the Gregorian calendar,
    which has been adopted almost universally in the civil calendars used in countries throughout the world.
    However, part of the Eastern Christian Churches celebrate Christmas on December 25 of the older Julian calendar,
    which currently corresponds to January 7 in the Gregorian calendar.
    For Christians, believing that God came into the world in the form of man to atone for the sins of humanity,
    rather than knowing Jesus' exact birth date, is considered to be the primary purpose in celebrating Christmas.
    The celebratory customs associated in various countries with Christmas have a mix of pre-Christian, Christian,
    and secular themes and origins. Popular modern customs of the holiday include gift giving;
    completing an Advent calendar or Advent wreath; Christmas music and caroling;
    viewing a Nativity play; an exchange of Christmas cards; church services;
    a special meal; and the display of various Christmas decorations, including Christmas trees, Christmas lights, nativity scenes, garlands, wreaths, mistletoe, and holly.
    In addition, several closely related and often interchangeable figures, known as Santa Claus, Father Christmas, Saint Nicholas,
    and Christkind, are associated with bringing gifts to children during the Christmas season
    and have their own body of traditions and lore.
    Because gift-giving and many other aspects of the Christmas festival involve heightened economic activity,
    the holiday has become a significant event and a key sales period for retailers
    and businesses.
    The economic impact of Christmas has grown steadily over the past few centuries in many regions of the world.

  • Kisan Diwas or Farmer's Day
    23rd of December annually
    is called kisan diwas or farmer's day in India.
    across the country to commemorate the birth anniversary of the former Prime Minister Chaudhary Charan Singh.
    On this day various events, seminars, functions, and competitions are organised on agriculture
    and its importance to educate
    and provide knowledge to the people.
    And to give relief to the Indian farmers,
    Have you ever visited Indian villages?
    That's a very nice experience to spend some time with the best minds of the sub continent.
    You will see smiles and carefree look and a pride of different kind there.
    Indian soul resides in the villages.
    And the cultures, customs and rites
    Are still traditional there.
    People here celebrate post harvest
    Festivals with joy and new dishes.
    Every region of India has different cultures
    In the area of agriculture practices and approaches in terms of traditions.
    Indian farmers can be found in local attires
    Looking simple and full of pride in their talk and manners.
    The farmers have now started following new technology and practices in production.
    The whole family of the farmers can be seen engaged in the fields in various regions.
    Indian still is far behind many countries in terms of grains and vegetables production per hectare.
    But in recent decades
    India has done much better compared to pre independence years.
    The fragrance of soil in rainy days in indian villages and fields is really charming and intoxicating.
    The cool breeze in the morning
    The dance of the peacocks
    The chirpy birds flying here and there
    Various wild animals infiltrating the farmers' field the natural views there.
    Who knows
    Bollywood
    Indian film industry has produced many films based on the Indian farmers.
    Mother India
    The world famous movie shows the true picture of the Indian farmers plight to some extent.
    The current regime is doing better to improve the Indian farmers' economic and social conditions amidst market forces and international scenario.
    No matter what happens
    Indian farmers are full of self respect and hardworking spirit.
    They don't pursue exploitative practices.
    They still have concern for the public living in the country.
    Farmers are really worthy of great respect.
    Government of India has enacted some long awaited laws to improve the farmers' lives.
    It may be another thing that some sections of the farmers are not happy with recently passed agricultural laws.
    But with time, all will be fine.
    By the way, India has been a country of the villages where majority of people are still engaged in the agricultural practices.
    More than 55% of India's population is dependent primarily on the agriculture sector and other other allied services.
    North India enjoy the status of the huge producer of many grain types.
    Haryana, Punjab and West Utter Pradesh gave tremendous results in the green revolution.
    And the country became self sufficient in food production and consumption.
    I have seen the rural lives of the farmer's lives there.
    The farmers are so simple living and hardworking people that no one need to imagine about last era agriculture and agriculturists.
    Wheat, rice and other grains and vegetables make the whole basket of farmer's products.
    Almost all states of India are dependent on various ways on the agriculture there.
    India has launched many fruitful and innovative schemes for the Indian farmers to uplift the laters" lives.
    And due to technical advancement and other interventions
    India is on the path of becoming a paramount power in agribusiness depending on the government support.
    And in my opinion, the children and students must be given opportunities to visit the nearby indian villages to sensitise them for learning simple, proud life practices and better understanding of the conditions faced by the Indian farmers.
