A small family is indeed a blessing in today’s world.The cost of living is really high. It becomes impossible to make both ends meet if one has a large family to support. All the countries of the world are facing the problem of rising population. But the problem is very acute and threatening in India because we have limited resources. Stress should be laid on family planning and the spread of education. Small family is an economic necessity also. Theconcept of small family will help to eradicate the problems like poverty and unemployment. A person having less children can make them better citizens by providing them proper diet and good education. The government as well as the public should make a determined effort towards family planning. Children should be born by choice and not by chance. Thus, the concept of small family should he adopted as a way of life.
The Election Day this year was full of excitement. My school was one of the polling centres. There was feverish activity on the booth. The rush of voters was increasing gradually. There were cars. minihuses and rickshaws used by different candidates to bring voters from their homes. This was, of course, wrong but nobody seemed to mind. There were also stalls where free soft drinks were offered to the voters and sympathizers. The polling officer enquired from the voters their names and other particulars recorded in the electoral roll. He also verified every voter’s identity card before issuing the ballot paper. Before casting the vote, an indelible ink mark was put on every voter’s left forefinger. Polling was brisk especially in the atìernoon and the booths were closed exactly at 5 p.m. Luckily there was no unhappy incident. I returned home tired hut satisfied.
