We are going to enter into a new year (2022) with lot of new aspirations and expectations in 2021. We have faced lot of troubles due to COVID pandemic and other natural disasters. We have lost lot of great personalities of our country.
Now we are dreaming for our good time. New Year is the only time when we realize and introspect our past happening of life. New Year brings new hope in everyone’s life because everyone is very optimistic for his future. We believe that our happiness and comfort lies in future.
New Year is also a great time to start a new project and work in life. Every country has its own culture for welcoming the arrival of New Year.
Some welcome the New Year with lot of fireworks and lightening. Some starts it with loudness of music, some nation welcome the new year with various cultural programmes and pomp and show events. In India we start and welcome the New Year with prayers, devotion and other religious rituals.
The year 2022 is a very different kind of numeral for eyes. Our former President APJ Abdul Kalam dreamt a vision 2020 for New India. Let’s make few resolutions for this New Year with a positive hope that our nation may be benefitted by such righteous initiative.
Make a resolution to plant at least ten trees in this year (2022). As we know trees are indispensable part of our life. Without trees and greenery we can’t expect any kind of life on earth. These are the precious ornament for our planet earth.
Due to deforestation and cutting of trees we are facing lot of troubles in our life. In Delhi and other big cities we are facing the crisis of air pollution. If everybody make a pledge to plant at least ten trees in the whole year, again we can regain the beauty of our green planet.
If at least one crore people make this activity in their resolution of New Year then approximately ten crore new plants will come into existence on this planet.
Make a resolution to maintain the cleanliness around us and in our homes. Cleanliness is no doubt next to godliness. By starting a cleanliness drive at individual level we can contribute in the national campaign of Swacch Bharat Abhiyan. The vision of new decade will only be fulfilled if we enter into it with a clean surrounding and public places.
It not only improves the life style and hygiene of public but attract the attention and interest of many tourists across the world. Earlier mostly tourists and foreigner generally hesitate to visit our natural places of attraction due to unhygienic and filthy condition of such places.
Make a resolution to obey all the traffic rules in this year with sincerity and maturity.
This will not be helpful for maintaining the traffic discipline but shall prove that we are the responsible and educated citizens of this country.
However, Govt has already made several new rules for traffic violation penalties.
But these are meant for those who are irresponsible and uncivilized. By obeying traffic rules we can save our life as well as life of other innocent people.
Let’s make a resolution in our life that we shall respect and protect the public property of the nation.
During protest and agitations we shall not harm the public property by any means.
In recent agitations and protests against NRC and CAA we have seen a very miserable picture of our society. People have damage the public property with their violent protests.
No doubt protests and agitations are very important sign in a healthy democratic set up. But violence has no role in the democratic system of a nation. Public violence is a sign of uncultured and uncivilized society. Make a resolution to not spread any hoax news or rumours in the society by means of any social media .Because these hoax news and fake videos can create more trouble for our society. These fake news and rumours sometime add fuel to the fire. Be a responsible citizen. It is our duty to avoid and stand united against such odd things in society only then we can maintain the harmony and secularism of our country. In order to check these fake news and viral rumours, Govt has to imposed ban on internet at various vulnerable occasion. Such things create trouble in the life of common citizens. Many useful and important public works get freeze due to unavailability of internet facility. Make a resolution to help a needy and poor person in this year. By such a noble initiative we can help those who are downtrodden and helpless in our society. After all they are our fellow countrymen. It is our duty to help and assist those who are lacking behind due to some circumstances.
However, Govt has already launched several schemes of poverty alleviation.
But we can also contribute in poverty alleviation by contributing at our part. Make a resolution to not waste any eatable item in ignorance.
lot of food material and other eatables get wasted in our marriage ceremonies and other congressional occasion.
However it is bitter reality of our nation that millions of people are not getting their two times meal. Our over-consumption and wastage of food leads to starvation for others. Let’s make a pledge to aware our children about the judicial use of water and food.
By adopting the above mentioned resolutions in our life in this New Year we can contribute a lot for the prosperity and betterment of our nation.
A single person cannot change the entire scenario of mismanagement but the contribution of all at individual level can alter any adverse condition of life and society. As responsible citizens it is our duty to think and act for our nation. For the sake of this nation we must avoid our self centric approach.
In this materialistic run of society nobody is looking for the welfare and upliftment of nation. But, we should always keep in mind that our existence will only be possible if our nation survives and flourish. We hope that this New Year will bring all the prosperity and happiness of life in everyone’s lap. With the positive contribution, entire nation may once again achieve its past glory of world leader. Wishing a Happy New Year to all the citizens.
