A certain level of stress is normal. And positive stress responses from events such as changing schools and meeting new friends can actually help students learn and grow. But when exposed to repeated stressful events without the tools to manage feelings, stress can become emotionally and physically toxic. This guide explains the symptoms of stress in students from elementary school through college and provides strategies teachers and parents can use to help.
INDEPENDENCE DAY CELEBRATION
On this eve, the President delivers the "Address to the Nation". and prime minister hoists the Indian flag at Red Fort in Delhi.
Tribute is paid to the leaders of the freedom struggle.
The Indian national anthem, "Jana Gana Mana" is sung followed by march past of the Indian Army and paramilitary forces.
Parades' and pageants which relive the events of the freedom struggle as well as the cultural traditions follow.
Few of the Great Freedom Fighters
Mahatma Gandhi
Gandhiji's life was dedicated to the ideals of Truth, Non- violence and Love. He was the architect of India's freedom and a leader in a complex struggle, the Indian campaign for home rule. Following World War I, in which he played an active part in recruiting campaigns, Gandhi, again advocating Satyagraha, launched his movement of non-violent resistance to Great Britain. He lived a spiritual and ascetic life of prayer, fasting, and meditation.
Chandrashekhar Azad, often called, Panditji was a revolutionary. After the Indian Rebellion of 1857, he was the first among many Indian revolutionaries to use arms in their fight for independence against the British rulers. A devout Brahmin, he believed that it was his "dharma" (duty) to fight for others. He also believed that a soldier never relinquishes his weapon. Azad was deeply troubled by the Jallianwala Bagh massacre in Amritsar in 1919
Bhagat Singh
The name of Bhagat Singh is synonymous with sacrifice, courage, bravery and vision. By sacrificing his life just at the age of 30 Bhagat Singh became an inspiration and symbol of the heroism. Along with other revolutionaries, Bhagat Singh founded the Hindustan Socialist republican Association. To warn the British government of its misdeeds, Bhagat Singh threw a bomb in the Central Legislative Assembly.
Subhas Chandra Bose
Known as Netaji (leader), S C Bose was a fierce freedom fighter and a popular leader on the political horizon in pre-independence India. Bose was elected the President of the Indian National Congress in the year 1937 and 1939. He founded the Indian National Army and raised the slogan- "Delhi Chalo" and "Tum Mujhe Khoon Do main Tumhe Ajadi Doonga".
Bal Gangadhar Tilak
Bal Gangadhar Tilak was one of the firebrand freedom fighters of India. He gave the slogan- "Swaraj is my birthright and I shall have it". To serve the cause of freedom and countrymen Tilak founded schools and published newspapers. Tilak was famous as one of the trios- Bal, Pal and Lal. People loved him and accepted him as their leaders and so he was called Lokmanya Tilak.
His brave deeds earned Vallabhbhai Patel the title of the iron man of India. For his role in the Bardoli Satyagraha, Patel came to be called the Sardar. Sardar Patel was a famous lawyer but gave up his practice in order to fight for the freedom of the country. After independence he became the deputy PM of India and played an important role the integration of India by merging

“It is not stress that kills us but rather our response to it” – Hans Selye. Our stress management tips given in this presentation gives you the ability to alter your response to the event. Stress in the workplace can be handled with greater ease when you use effective stress management techniques.
Stress management is the ability to cope with stress and its negative impacts on one's health and well-being. Stress can be caused by any sort of pressure or challenge in everyday life. Stress management involves a range of techniques, strategies, and therapies that aim to control, reduce, or prevent stress. Stress management can help people improve their mental, emotional, and physical functioning and happiness.
A STUDY ON STRESS MANAGEMENT IN VARIOUS SECTORS IN INDIAIAEME Publication
Stress is the “wear and tear” our minds and bodies experience as we attempt to cope with our continually changing environment. Stress mainly occurs when the pressure is greater than the resource. Stress is not something bad but it all depends on how we take it, Most of the stress we experience is self-generated. It is generated on how we perceive life, whether an event makes us feel threatened or stimulated, encouraged or discouraged, happy or sad depends to a large extent on how we perceive ourselves. Self-generated stress is something of paradox, because so many people think of external causes when they are upset. But one should recognize that we create most of our own upsets in our daily life through our way of responding to things in a negative way which may be due to lack of awareness or our inability to perceive things as they are ought to be

Home Security System using Arduino & GSM Aditya Nag
The need for home security alarm systems nowadays is a serious demand. As
the number of crimes is increasing every day, there has to be something that
will keep us safe. We are all aware of the high end security systems present in
the market but they are not easily available to everyone. We therefore intend to
provide a solution by constructing a cost efficient electronic system that has the
capability of sensing the motion of the intruders, also detecting LPG gas
leakage (cooking gas) and setting on the alarm. The basic idea behind this
project is that all the bodies generate some heat energy in the form of infrared
which is invisible to human eyes. But, it can be detected by the electronic motion
sensor. The project involves the use of Arduino, a motion sensor, a gas
sensor,buzzer, LCD display and a simple program. The sensor detects any
motion in its permissible range and triggers the alarm by calling the owner and
sending him a message. It will also send the signal to Arduino which processes
the signal and set off the alarm along with a detection message on display. With
this system, we can easily set up a security alarm in our home for unwanted
intruders and gas leakage.

5. Introduction
Stress is a fact of life, wherever you are and whatever you are doing. You cannot avoid
stress, but you can learn to manage it so it doesn‘t manage you.
Changes in our lives—such as going to college, getting married, changing jobs, or
illness—are frequent sources of stress. Keep in mind that changes that cause stress can
also benefit you.
Moving away from home to attend college, for example, creates personal-development
opportunities—new challenges, friends, and living arrangements. That is why it‘s
important to know you and carefully consider the causes of stress. Learning to do this
takes time, and although you cannot avoid stress, the good news is that you can minimize
the harmful effects of stress, such as depression or hypertension.
The key is to develop an awareness of how you interpret, and react to, circumstances.
This awareness will help you develop coping techniques for managing stress. For
example, as an Army platoon leader, managing stress will require techniques that include
an awareness of yourself and you‘re Soldiers.
6. What Is Stress Management?
Stress management refers to the wide spectrum of techniques and psychotherapies aimed
at controlling a person's levels of stress, especially chronic stress, usually for the purpose
of improving everyday functioning.
NEED OF STRESS MANAGEMENT
In the past decade, the news headlines have definitely made it clear that the need for
stress management should be one of the top agendas in modern days society.
Living today is a lot tougher than it was even in the days of the great depression. It‘s been
coming out in many ways such as all time occurrence of stomach and intestine ulcers.
Others finds sleep disorders during busy days.
Today stress management is important in everyone‘s lives. It‘s necessary for long happy
lives with less trouble that will come about. There are many ways to deal with stress
ranging from the dealing with the causes of stress to simply burning off its effects.
7. Types
For managing stress, experts at Mayo Clinic in Minnesota and Arizona provide or teach:
Acupuncture. Insertion of fine needles in the skin at key points in your body to
boost your body's natural painkillers and increase blood circulation.
Counseling. Discussion of life and health-related stresses with a medical
professional to develop coping skills that address feelings, illnesses and
challenging situations.
Deep breathing. Breathing from your diaphragm (muscle under the rib cage) to
establish a pattern of slower, deeper and more efficient breathing.
Guided imagery (visualization). Picturing calming mental images of relaxing
places and situations to cope with negative emotions, feelings or circumstances.
Massage therapy. Various techniques that involve pressing and rubbing the
body's soft tissues — muscle, connective tissue, tendons, ligaments and skin —
for comfort, healing and pain reduction.
Meditation. A practice that calms and focuses the mind, tuning out distractions,
sometimes involving repeating a word or phrase, or visualizing a peaceful place.
Mindfulness. A technique in which you stay focused, engaged and completely
absorbed in the present moment.
Progressive muscle relaxation. Tensing and relaxing the muscle groups
throughout your body to reduce muscle tension and calm anxious feelings.
Resilience training. Learning to balance the demands placed on you with your
available resources; finding meaning in life; controlling the controllable; and
seeing life's situations as challenges or opportunities rather than overwhelming
obstacles.
8. MODELS OF STRESS MANAGEMENT
a) Transactional Model:
According to ‗Richard Lazarus‘ and ‗Susan Flokman,‖Stress is the result of imbalance
between demands and resources.‖ Or ―as occuring when pressure exceeds one‘s
perceived ability to cope.‖
In order to develop an effective stress management program it is first necessary to identify the
factors that are central to a personal controlling his /her stress, and to identify the intervention
methods which effectively target these factor. Lazarus and Flokman‘s interpretation of stress
focuses on the transaction between people and their external environment.
The model conceptualize stress as a result of how a stressors is appraised and how a
person appraisers his / her resources to cope with the stressors. The model breaks the
stressors stress link by proposing that is stressors are perceived as positive or challenging
rather than a threat, and if the stressed person is confident that he / she possesses adequate
rather than deficient coping strategies, stress may not necessary follow the person of a
potential stressors. The model proposes that stress can be reduced by helping stressed
people change their perceptions of stressors, providing them with strategies to help them
cope and improving their confidence in their ability to do so.
b) Innate Health Model:
The health realization / innate health model of stress is also founded on the idea that stress
does not necessarily follows the presence of a potential stressors. Instead of focusing on
the individual‘s appraisal of so-called stressors in relation to his own coping skills (as the
transactional model does), the health realization model focuses on the nature of thought,
stating that it is ultimately a person‘s thought processes that determine the response to
potentially stressful external circumstances. In this model, stress results from appraising
oneself and one‘s circumstances through a mental filter of insecurity and negativity,
whereas a feeling of well-being result from approaching the world with a ―quite mind‖,
―inner wisdom‖ and ―common sense‖.
This model proposes that helping stressed individuals understand the nature of thought
especially providing them with the ability to recognize when they are in the grip of
insecure thinking, disengage from it ,and access natural positive feelings will reduced this
stress.

12. DISADVANTAGES OF STRESS MANAGEMENT FOR STUDENTS
Stress can be a motivator. For example, if you‘re stressed out because you have a big
assignment due, this may motivate you to work on it and complete it. The stress can help
you to put in your very best effort. If you‘re afraid of losing your job, stress may
encourage you to raise your own standards and make improvements you most likely
wouldn‘t have made without the threat of unemployment.
Stress is a disadvantage because it can potentially raise your heart rate and weaken your
immune system. Also, it can be a fact or in poor decision – making because under stress
we may not think logically or consider the consequences of the choices we make.
While we all experience stress frequently in our daily lives, not everyone handles it in
positive ways. The key for us all is to learn what strategies and behaviors help us to cope
with stress in a positive manner.
13. How stress affects the body
Common symptoms of stress include:
A fast heartbeat.
A headache.
A stiff neck and/or tight shoulders.
Back pain.
Fast breathing.
Sweating, and sweaty palms.
An upset stomach, nausea, or diarrhea.
Over time, stress can affect your
Immune system. Constant stress can make you more likely to get sick more often.
And if you have a chronic illness such as AIDS, stress can make your symptoms
worse.
Heart. Stress is linked to high blood pressure, abnormal heartbeat (arrhythmia),
blood clots, and hardening of the arteries (atherosclerosis). It's also linked to
coronary artery disease, heart attack, and heart failure.
Muscles. Constant tension from stress can lead to neck, shoulder, and low back
pain. Stress may make rheumatoid arthritis worse.
Stomach. If you have stomach problems, such as gastro esophageal reflux disease
(GERD), peptic ulcer disease, or irritable bowel syndrome, stress can make your
symptoms worse.
Reproductive organs. Stress is linked to low fertility, erection problems, and
problems during pregnancy, and painful menstrual periods.
Lungs. Stress can make symptoms of asthma and chronic obstructive pulmonary
disease (COPD) worse.
