International Tiger Day
The day is additionally referred to as Global Tiger Day. As we know that the population of tiger across the globe dropped sharply since the beginning of the 20th century but the good news is that now their number is on the rise. Union Environment Minister Prakash Javadekar on 28 July released All India Tiger Estimation Report-2018 on the eve of Global Tiger Day and a poster on small wild cats of India.
He told that "India is home to nearly 70% of the tiger population and it leads the world". Further, he stated that apart from tigers, India is additionally home to 30 thousand elephants, 3000 single-horned Rhinos, and over 500 lions. He also noted that having constraints of physical resources the country sustains nearly 8% of the world's eco-diversity.
In 1973, Project Tiger was started in India which was a unique plan to save tigers on the planet. Since it formative years there were 9 tiger reserves but the Tiger Project coverage has increased to 50.
But according to WWF around 3,900 wild tigers are left in the world. Since the beginning of the 20th century, over 95% of the world's tiger population is lost. It is said that across Asia, the snaring crisis poses a grave threat to wild tigers.
We can't deny the fact that tigers are the largest species of the cat family and also one of the most iconic animals on the planet. About a century ago, there may have been over 100,000 tigers that roam on the planet.
A conservational goal which is so ambitious was set up by the government of the 13 range countries to double the number of wild tigers by 2022 in the next Chinese year of the tiger.
There is a famous quote "Where tigers thrive, it is a sign that the ecosystem is healthy"

Etiquette on WhatsApp Groups
Etiquette on WhatsApp Groups
Listed below are my thoughts on the way people post things on WhatsApp. I felt we need to follow some etiquette to put WhatsApp to better use. These are meant mainly for the Class Groups we maintain in our Vidyalaya to connect with our classes during this lockdown.
Post things that are relevant to the group
Keep the intended purpose of the group. The Class Groups are meant for keeping you up-to-date of the school news, announcement and alerts related to scholastic and c-scholastic activities and programmes of the school. Do not post or forward messages that are not relevant to the class.
Also do not post some unimportant message just below an important message posted by someone.
No personal messages
Avoid personal conversation in a group. If you would like to chat with a friend, do it privately.
Acknowledgement and Thank you's from all not required
If the teacher has posted an instruction or a classwork, no need for everyone to post "Ok, Madam", "I will do it, sir" and things like that. If you have understood the message, follow it. If you need any clarification, post a question.
If you have attended an online test or uploaded an assignment to the Google Classroom, your teacher will be able to see that. No need to say "I have completed the test" and the like.
Similarly, no need for everyone to post "Thank You" ntoes, if someone has posted a useful message.
Congratulations/Birthday Wishes/Condolence Messages
It is always good to wish someone on their birthday or congratulate them for any achievements. Joining someone in their grief and offering condolence is also very much required. A few messages of this nature on the group is ok, but everyone is not supposed to post that in a group.
The best way to do this is to send a private message to the person concerned. If you want everyone in the group to know that you have done so, no doubt the group is the best place for that.
Urgent matters, make a call
You cannot expect the other person to check WhatsApp messages immediately. You are aware of the information explosion on your WhatsApp. So if you need a response immediately better make a call.
Here are a few things more...
- Avoid lengthy messages. Be precise and short with the messages.
- It is better to post the stories or notes on your Google Drive and provide a link to it that posting the entire content.
- When you are posting a video or image, you may add a short description of what it is to help others to decide whether to download and see it (who has got the time to do all these when we are simply forwarding it as received)

Quiz based on Har Ghar Trianga
