Sayings

1. ‘Human’ is an integral part of ‘nature’ and ‘nature’ has the imprints of ‘human’. ‘Nature’ has influenced different aspects of human life. Its imprints can be noticed on food, clothing, shelter and occupation

2. Technology helped in reducing the harshness of labour, increased labour efficiency and provided leisure to human beings to attend to the higher needs of life.

3. You created the soil, I created the cup, you created night, I created the lamp. You created wilderness, hilly terrains and deserts; I created flower beds and gardens.

4. “Our prosperity and indeed our survival depend on healthy ecosystems,” said Jim Leape, the chief of the Worldwide Fund for Nature (WWF). “The Earth's forests, oceans and rivers are the very foundation of our society and economy”.

5. . And I would urge particular attention to this verse: ‘Where the mind is without fear and the head is held high; Where knowledge is free; Where the world has not been broken up into fragments by narrow domestic walls;...Into that heaven of freedom, my Father, let my country awake'.”

6. fragmentation of the country on the basis of ever-narrowing identities hardly represents a progressive idea of India. Rampant corruption, poor governance and vote bank politics both at the Centre and in the states have held back India's growth for decades and there is no evidence that things will change for the better in the near future.
