Politics is something that is related to the nation. Relegious leaders should work for the wellfare of the nation and support political actions for the welfare of the nation and state. They should express thier opinion if the govts is not working for the wellfare of the nations. But it is not good for the religious leaders to talk like mere poloticians or as the authority of power. They should not spread communalism.
eg:
1. Recently SNDP leaders were against fifth Minister for Muslim League based on religion. It is really shamefull that the leaders are introducing communalism in political affairs.

Part I: Information about our organisation
1. Name of the organisation requesting funds. Little Flower School Manja.
2. When was the school established?
Little Flower English School Manja Founded in 25t March 1990 is a Catholic Educational Institution established and administered by the Roman Catholic Diocese of Diphu. The school is under the religious jurisdiction of the Bishop of Diphu.
The aim of the school is to impart sound education by cultivating in the young minds fear of God, the spirit of truth, obedience, self reliance and discipline while they go through their studies. Hence particular attention is given to character formation helping them to become good children of God and useful citizens of the country.
3. Briefly describe the aims of the School.
Illiteracy, poverty and poor health condition are three major problems of our community. Therefore we consider the following three programmes as prime aims of our organisation:
a) Spread education.
b) Improve Health condition
c) Socio economic Development
4. What non-education related community development activities is the school involved in
a) Impart health education.
b) Motivate and help people to built and use low cost latrine.
c) Form small groups in the community and motivate them in small savings.
d) Form self-help groups for mutual economic benefit of the people.
5. Location of school. Rural.
6. Socio-economic background of the children and their parents.
The Socio-economic background of the children and their families is very disheartening. 80% of the families are daily labour. Rest 20% are landless poor marginal cultivators or artisans. Literacy rate is only 30%. Families are large due to lack of education and health awareness. Health of the people is poor due to lack of health awareness poor hygiene practice and inadequate health service. Tuberculosis and malaria are rampant. Most of the children do not get two full meals. Status of women is very low. In one word the children and their families are poor in all respect.
7. How many children are currently enrolled in your school? 640
8. Average distance the children travel to attend your school ? 5 Km
9. Do you try to involve the parents of the children in the running of the school
Our school is in villages and here almost everybody know each other .So when a student is absent for some time, the teacher visit the family of the student to enquire. Teacher’s aim is to inspire the student and parents to continue education.
There is a School Parents and Teachers Association who sit from time to time discuss various issues including school improvement.
10.What are your expansion plans for the futures
Our immediate plan is to provide drinking water facilities to our school children.
There is no toilet or water supply arrangement. The meagre sum that we collect per child per month is adequate to pay the teachers salary.
I want to improve these situations. The budget will reflect our plans.
It has been stated that the literacy rate in the area is 30%. Earlier generations never thought of going to school at an early stage. Only some families used to send their children to school at the age of 7 to 8. Now with our effort, many children are joining pre-primary school at the age of 4 or 5. Since our resources are very limited we will not be able to take care of the infrastructure needs of the school.
We need help from to improve, continue, and expand our education plan. More and more children will join our school and will become both literally and functionally, literate. Education of these children will directly increase literacy rate. These children, when they become parents, will send their children to school on their own. We will have a positive influence increasing literacy rate and building more human resource for India as literacy enables the masses to play an active role in social and cultural change. Literacy is an integral part of an individual personality. Illiteracy is a serious impediment to an individual growth and socio-economic progress of the country.

Carboniferous Period
As the trees and plants died, they sank to the bottom of the swamps of oceans. They formed layers of a spongy material called peat. Over many hundreds of years, the peat was covered by sand and clay and other minerals, which turned into a type of rock called sedimentary.
More and more rock piled on top of more rock, and it weighed more and more. It began to press down on the peat. The peat was squeezed and squeezed until the water came out of it and it eventually, over millions of years, it turned into coal, oil or petroleum, and natural gas.
Oil is another fossil fuel. It was also formed more than 300 million years ago. Some scientists say that tiny diatoms are the source of oil. Diatoms are sea creatures the size of a pin head. They do one thing just like plants; they can convert sunlight directly into stored energy.
Formation of Petroleum
In the graphic on the left, as the diatoms died they fell to the sea floor (1).
Here they were buried under sediment and other rock (2).
The rock squeezed the diatoms and the energy in their bodies could not escape. The carbon eventually turned into oil under great pressure and heat. As the earth changed and moved and folded, pockets where oil and natural gas can be found were formed (3).
Oil has been used for more than 5,000-6,000 years. The ancient Sumerians, Assyrians and Babylonians used crude oil and asphalt (“pitch”) collected from large seeps at Tuttul (modern-day Hit) on the Euphrates River. A seep is a place on the ground where the oil leaks up from below ground. The ancient Egyptians, used liquid oil as a medicine for wounds, and oil has been used in lamps to provide light.
Conserve Fossil Fuels
Fossil fuels take millions of years to make. We are using up the fuels that were made more than 300 million years ago before the time of the dinosaurs. Once they are gone they are gone.
So, it’s best to not waste fossil fuels. They are not renewable; they can’t really be made again. We can save fossil fuels by conserving energy.
What the Govt Should Do ?
1. The Govt. Should premote public transportation means – railway, trams, metro rails, KSRTC buses etc.
2. Enough security to ladies in Public transportation means.
3. Increase the price of petroleum products like petrol, aviation oil.
4. Subsidy should only to be diesel.
5. Increase the tax for Diesel vehicles like Cars and other private vehicles(100 percent) - This should be effective for new vehicles only
6. Reduce the tax for 5 star rating electronic equipmenets.
7. Increase tax for non 5 star Luxury electronic equipments – like fridge, AC, Washing machine etc.
Some Petroleum Consumption statistics
China has above 19% of the world population.
India has about 17% of the worl population.
USA has only 4% of the world population.
But in consumption of petroleum products USA is the largest. USA consumes more than double the amount of Petroleum consumed by China, the world largest populated country. The consumption on USA is more than 6 times of that of India. USA and Canand are among the countries who has highest per ca pita consumption of petroleum.
So our Govt and United nations should be able to ask the US and Canada govt to take steps to reduce the consumption of petroleum in US. Though our govt should take steps more steps should be taken by the Countries which consume the petroleum products highly. The developed countries are already developed and they should take the steps first. the developing Countries are developing and they may need fossil fuels more for developing. The developed countries on their path to development has consumed these products very highly and are consuming it for the ease of their life. The Life of Developing Countries should be made more ease as they had to spend more time and effort for the development of their nation.
Communism is against religion.
As per Marx its the opium of the people, where as, per Lenin its the opium for the people, by the people.
So no one who believes in God can support Communism. As per communism, what ever path we choose is OK, if the aim is good.
Religion teaches that Path and aim should also be good.
Karl Marx and Religion
The founder and primary theorist of Marxism, the nineteenth century German sociologist Karl Marx, had an ambivalent attitude to religion, viewing it primarily as “the opium of the masses” that had been used by the ruling classes to give the working classes false hope for millennia, whilst at the same time recognizing it as a form of protest by the working classes against their poor economic conditions.
Karl Marx’s religious views have been the subject of much interpretation. He famously stated in Critique of Hegel’s Philosophy of Right that
Religious distress was at the same time the expression of real distress and the protest against real distress. Religion is the sigh of the oppressed creature, the heart of a heartless world, just as it is the spirit of a spiritless situation. It is the opium of the people. The abolition of religion as the illusory happiness of the people is the demand for their real happiness. To call on them to give up their illusions about their condition is to call on them to give up a condition that requires illusions. The criticism of religion is, therefore, in embryo, the criticism of that vale of tears of which religion is the halo. Criticism has plucked the imaginary flowers on the chain not in order that man shall continue to bear that chain without fantasy or consolation, but so that he shall throw off the chain and pluck the living flower. The criticism of religion disillusions man, so that he will think, act, and fashion his reality like a man who has discarded his illusions and regained his senses, so that he will move around himself as his own true Sun. Religion is only the illusory Sun which revolves around man as long as he does not revolve around himself.
Communist Lenin and Religion
Vladimir Lenin was highly critical of religion, saying in his book Religion
Atheism is a natural and inseparable part of Marxism, of the theory and practice of scientific socialism.[3]
In About the attitude of the working party toward the religion, he wrote
Religion is the opium of the people: this saying of Marx is the cornerstone of the entire ideology of Marxism about religion. All modern religions and churches, all and of every kind of religious organizations are always considered by Marxism as the organs of bourgeois reaction, used for the protection of the exploitation and the stupefaction of the working class
