Sir,
Subject: Exploitation of teachers in privately owned suburban and small town schools
This is to draw your attention to the systematic exploitation of teachers in privately owned and managed schools in small towns and metropolitan suburbs. On the occasion of Teacher’s Day, this issue was brought to light in another national daily, concerning the shocking plight of teachers employed in the aforementioned schools who are paid a fraction of their authorized salaries.
It was reported that such a malpractice was seen to affect the performance of the teachers in the classroom, as most teachers had to take up other jobs to make ends meet and did not put in the requisite hours of teaching in the schools. The school trust was reported to have paid these teachers much less than the amount of work they were mandated to put in, leading to frequent resignations and constant changes in the faculty. This has affected student performance and led to an atmosphere of uncertainty in the schools which is detrimental to the cause of education.
As a nation which prides itself on revering its teachers, it must be noted that we cannot build a future for our students if we do not give due credit to our teachers. Therefore, I request your esteemed publication to take up this matter in order to investigate the issue further and mobilize the public towards calling for a complete overhaul in the education system of the country.
Thanking you,
Yours sincerely,
Navtej

Sir,
Subject: The harmful effects of tourism on Corbett National Park
Through the columns of your esteemed daily, I would like to draw the attention of the
concerned authority to the rampant abuse of available facilities in the Corbett National Park by
tourists and the consequent endangerment to the environment.
The tourists not only litter the place with non-biodegradable plastic packets and wrappers, but
also use wood from the forests for cooking purposes. Excessive trampling of the soil has been
reported to have a harmful effect on the natural ecosystem. The tranquillity of the habitat, which
is so crucial to the resident fauna, is habitually disturbed by tourists playing loud music in their
safari jeeps and during their camps.
The Corbett National Park is the oldest in the country, established in 1936, to protect the
endangered Bengal tiger. The public should be made aware of the fact that eco-tourism should
not be facilitated at the cost of harming the environment. It is my request that this issue be
immediately taken up by your esteemed publication to generate further awareness.
Yours sincerely,
Navita
