1 The Power of ONE

0 The Power of ZERO

The power of one Yes, one person can make a difference in the world. Even small contributions, can make a big difference - can mark the beginning of substantial change

BE THAT 1 PERSON Who can make a difference in the world. From 0 To HERO To INFINITY

Become KNOWLEDGABLE. It's easier to be ignorant and say that I don't know about the problem. But once you know, once you've seen it with your eyes, then you have a responsibility to do something. There is strength in numbers, and if we all work together as a team, we can be unstoppable. Together, we can make a substantial difference.

Definition as per World Health Organization ~ state of complete physical, mental and social well being and not merely an absence of disease or infirmity. Health

~ state of complete

physical, mental and social well being

and not merely

an absence of disease or infirmity.

Health has many dimensions. Besides WHO’s definition of dimensions: ~ Physical ~ Mental and ~ Social, ~ Spiritual ~ Emotional ~ Vocational ~ Political ~ and may be many other

Health B O D Y M I N D S O U L

Health PHYSICAL MENTAL SPIRITUAL

Physical health, and to some extent mental health too, can be improved by active participation in sports. Character, values, physical and mental strength are all challenged and improved in a short span of time. Sports can tell us a lot about ourselves as individuals and as a society.

Mental health, relatively speaking, is more important. It can be improved by developing positive attitude, engaging in healthy thinking, cultivating good habits, reading inspiring books, choosing good friends, and participating in good activities. Character, values, personality, attitudes, behaviour, etc. will all be improved.

Spiritual health, can be improved by practicing Human Values, such as, Love, Truth, Peace, Righteousness, Non-violence, etc.

Spiritual health, plays a significant role, in improving all-round health. It can be improved by traditional methods, such as participating in religious activities. Spirituality, is more abstract and to my mind, more important, in developing your spiritual health.

Improving simultaneously all aspects of health ~ Physical, Mental and Spiritual ~ will help an individual to become a constructive, contributing citizen. With such citizens, the whole country will become more vibrant, productive, developing and progressing in all respects.

Now that you know something that will help you to Improve yourself, and simultaneously play your part in nation-building, activize yourself, energize yourself, sensitize yourself.

Now when are you going to begin to become better ?

Being a youth group member, Your roles and responsibilities are many. Your primary goal is to help create a community in which all the youth are healthy, educated, self-reliant and socially responsible.

Your NSS Program provides a platform for thinking beyond your own welfare to do something for others. Through various group activities, You can turn into more responsible youth and, ultimately, socially responsible adults.

Today our country is facing many many challenges . . . such as . . . Man made … ? Or God made … ? To face these challenges, there must be a vision to ensure focused action.

The important elements that constitute a nation are: being disease free; being wealthy and self-reliant; high productivity; harmonious living and strong defence.

When the women are empowered, society g r o w s with stability.

When an individual or a team is empowered with technology, transformation to higher potential for achievement is assured.

A Healthy Nation is one which provides its youth with opportunities to acquire the talents, skills, and knowledge necessary to ensure their healthy transition to successful adult roles and responsibilities.
