Dear Sir,
Subject: Necessity of women’s education in India
Through the columns of your esteemed newspaper, I would like to highlight the burning issue of women’s education scenario today in India, leading to their status in the family, society and the nation as a whole.
It is unfortunate that women in India are not well – educated, especially rural women have remained illiterate for ages. Despite literacy campaigns in the villages, the female children’s education is neglected due to parents lackadaisical attitude towards them.
It is also a matter of deep concern that a women’s complete dependence on her husband or sons for financial needs makes her a slave in the family. Secondly, the reason for the poor status of women in the society is that sometimes the parents want to get rid of the burden of the daughter by getting her married underage.
In view of the necessity of women’s education and financial independence the authorities concerned need to look into the matter seriously.
Yours faithfully

Dear Sir,
Subject: Safety of women
Through the columns of your esteemed newspaper, I would like to draw the attention of the reader and the higher authorities to the issue of women’s safety in our society. How shameful! In a country where goddesses are worshipped and people go all out to make all kinds of sacrifices for them, our women get stalked, stared at, teased and molested. Newspapers are full of incidents of such occurrences every day.
I appeal to all menfolk that it’s high time they changed their attitude and mindset. My request is also to the police and judiciary to punish the offenders and enforce strict laws that would deter and set an example for others. Only then will our women get the respect and status they deserve.
Yours faithfully

Dear Sir,
Subject: Relevance of books
I am writing this letter to share with your readers, my delightful experience of having visited a week long book fair recently, organized by National Book Trust at Anna Grounds. People thronged the place belying even the expectations of the organizers. The arrangement was something seen to be believed.
The parking lot had volunteers to guide, there were clear sign – boards indicating the directions to various halls and gate numbers. Each hall had different sections, well – demarcated, and the reception desks for queries.
One could see how enthusiastically, book lovers were making purchases. What impressed me the most and made me realize was that books still hold a special place in people’s hearts and have not lost their relevance in the tech – sawy world of the internet.

Subject: To create a healthy balance between news and commercials
Through the columns of your esteemed daily, I would like to raise the issue of news channels in India, airing more advertisements in comparison to foreign news channels. The 24 – hour TV news channels are a major source of information for the common man. However, of late the so – called “News” on TV has hit an all – time low. Driven primarily by ad sponsors and corporate lobbying, TV channels in India have been commercial – friendly. Look at the foreign news channels, news, prima facie, is more important than advertisements. The Indian TV news channels need to create a healthy balance between news and commercials. The main focus of TV news channels should be on education and entertainment. TV news channels should be entertainment – friendly rather than ad – friendly.

Dear Sir
Subject: Improving the living conditions of slum dwellers
Through the columns of your widely read daily, I would like to draw the attention of the authorities to the miserable living conditions of the slum dwellers. The pathetic conditions in which they live make their survival not only difficult but also unbearable. There is no drainage system, no lights, there are huge garbage dumps and these slums lack basic civic amenities.
These slums in the city are getting overcrowded also because more and more people are moving to cities due to lack of job opportunities and poverty in villages.
I would like to suggest that state governments should create more job opportunities, bring changes in the government policies and provide infrastructure to check the mass migration. Another area that needs serious attention is the sanitation and health sector. Non – governmental organizations (NGOs) should come forward and lend their support in terms of adopting a few villages.

Dear Sir,
Subject: Frequent accidents due to open manholes
Through the columns of your esteemed newspaper, I want to voice my grave concern about the frequent accidents which occur during the rainy season due to open manholes on the main road that lead to our locality. In fact these manholes<<pose a grow threat to our lives. The accidents occur because these manholes go unnoticed when the road gets inundated due to heavy rains.
The situation has worsened due to the following reasons. First, there is no proper drainage system in our area. Secondly, open manholes are not barricaded or demarcated by the municipal authorities concerned. Thirdly, there is no proper lighting on the road. Small children, women and senior citizens are the worst sufferers.
I appeal to the authorities to take immediate remedial action so that accidents do not occur.
Yours faithfully

Question 7.
When cricket teams go abroad they are allowed to take their wives, even friends, along with them. Does this fact distract them or help them to focus on their game in a better way?

Subject: Privileges for sportspersons
Through the columns of your esteemed newspaper, I wish to draw your attention to the difference in privileges given by the government to the cricket teams and athletes on overseas tours. Our government is biased towards cricketers allowing them to take their wives, even friends, along with them. On the contrary, the athletes are not allowed to enjoy the same privileges. Basically, this lackadaisical attitude is based on the popularity and money – earning factor that goes with cricket teams.
As regards allowing spouses, even friends, to go abroad with cricket team how does it help cricketers to perform well? Some think the cricketers get maximum support from their wives as they boost their morale while others think they are a big distraction because they disturb concentration.
I believe that if similar privileges were given to the athletes, they could perform better. So, I would request the government to be liberal on the sports front, especially with the athletes.

Subject: Environmental pollution at Corbett National Park
Through the columns of your esteemed newspaper, I would like to draw the attention of the government to the rampant abuse of the available facilities in the Corbett National Park by tourists and the consequent endangering of the environment. I, along with a group of students from Akash Public School, Agra, went on a 3 – day tour of the national park. I found that tourists not only littered the place with non – biodegradable plastic packets and wrappers but also used fuel wood from the forests for cooking. The tranquility of the habitat was disturbed by the tourists playing loud music in their Safari jeeps.
The Corbett National Park is the oldest in the country, established in 1936, to protect the endangered Royal Bengal tiger. The public should be made aware of the fact that Ecotourism should not be allowed at the cost of endangering the environment.
The tourists must regard Corbett National Park as a paradise and should love flora and fauna of the park. The forest authorities should impose strict rules and regulations to improve the environment of the park.

Question 9.
On the Teacher’s Day, you read in a newspaper that privately owned and managed schools in small towns or evert in the suburbs of metropolitan cities exploit their teachers by paying them just a fraction of their legitimate salaries.

Write a letter in 120 – 150 words to the editor of a national daily raising your voice against such exploitation. Suggest ways to solve this problem. You are Navtej/Navita, 112, Taj Road, Agra.

Subject: Exploitation of teachers in private schools
Through the columns of your esteemed daily, I would like to draw the attention of the authorities to the exploitation of teachers in private schools in small towns and even in metropolitan cities. It is a pity that the management of private schools is depriving the qualified teachers of their legitimate authorised salaries as recommended by the Seventh Pay Commission. It is also regretted that teachers are getting only a fraction of the authorised salaries – that too sometimes, in installments. So, the teachers find it difficult to maintain their families with the meagre salaries. This affects classroom teaching. Teachers do not perform well in the class under these circumstances. As a result, quality of teaching is getting deteriorated. The student community is the sufferer in the long run.
Educational institutions are temples of learning. The authorities concerned should wake up to the situation and ensure that the teaching community is not exploited and is given its legitimate dues.

Through the columns of your esteemed newspaper, I want to raise the problem of stray animals roaming the roads, causing traffic jams and accidents. Of late it has been found that during the busy hours of the day many stray animals roam the roads, cause traffic jams and sometimes accidents.
It poses a serious threat to the people who are using roads daily to reach their destination of work and business.
The matter has been taken up with the municipal authorities many a time but the problem remains.
It is time the authorities concerned took cognisance of the situation and dealt with it sternly. Punitive action to remedy the situation is most welcome.

Subject: Encroachment of pavement in Nehru Nagar
Through the columns of your esteemed newspaper, I would like to draw the attention of the authorities concerned to the encroachment of pavement in Nehru Nagar area.
Unauthorized parking and encroachments on the road and bylanes have reached alarming levels in the last few months. Cabs, vans, matadors are parked on the main road and bylanes in every nook and cranny of Nehru Nagar. This has become the biggest nuisance to the residents. They cannot take out their vehicles due to vehicles parked on both sides. A residential house has been let out to a transport company beside the super market. It has become a big nuisance, as transport vehicles are parked everywhere.
The situation is worsening day by day. This needs immediate attention of authorities concerned.
Yours faithfully
