1) The document discusses various types of environmental pollution including air, water, soil, and focuses on pollution of Dal Lake.
2) Rapid industrialization and modern civilization have led to air pollution through emission of dust, smoke and toxic gases, deteriorating air quality in urban areas.
3) Water pollution occurs when sewage and industrial effluents are disposed into water bodies like rivers. Soil pollution is caused by disposal of solid wastes from homes and industries.
4) Dal Lake in Kashmir was once clear and large but is now severely polluted due to waste from nearby houses, hotels and encroachment, threatening its beauty and tourism if preventative measures are not taken.
It is no secret that a majority of the world’s population consumes unclean water. But how does water get polluted? What happens to people or other living creatures when they consume contaminated water? The power point presentation that follows will allow the teacher to show his or her students the different ways water can get polluted, how much man is responsible for the extent of water pollution, and what the impact of this pollution is on all living things, especially man. The teacher can also use this presentation to generate a discussion in class on possible solutions to this problem. Is it possible to treat contaminated water in some way to make it consumable? Are there ways in which we can prevent or avoid at least certain kinds of water pollution?
Water pollution throughout the world is affecting food chains and food webs. Water such as lakes, rivers, streams, creeks, and oceans become polluted in many different ways. One main way is the dumping of trash, or littering. Many creeks, rivers, and even oceans have been polluted by manmade items such as trash (EPA, 2011). When fresh water such as rivers and creeks become polluted, it hurts the surrounding wildlife.

water pollution control and measurmentRekha Kumari
Today we all are facing the biggest problem that is scarcity of drinking water as the level of water is continually decreasing.
In many countries people die because of contaminated water as they do not have any water resources that contain pure water.
The first question comes in mind when we talk about water management is how can we manage water. For this we need some well-planned strategies like if we know the places where heavy rainfall occur, then we can put extra efforts there in order to save water for future use.
Global development, continuing industrialization and rapid increase in world population, during the 20th
century, has been a great contributor to several global issues; environmental changes being one of them.

Ashraf Wani, Umer Jan Wani, "Towards Conservation of World Famous Dal Lake – A Need of Hour", International Research Journal of Engineering and Technology (IRJET), Vol2,issue-01 March 2015. e-ISSN:2395-0056,p-ISSN:2395-0072. www.irjet.net,published by Fast Track Publications
Abstract
Lakes play an important role in the economy of a region. Dal Lake has historically been the centre of Kashmiri civilization and has played a major role in the economy of Kashmir through its attraction of tourists as well as its utilization as a source of food and water. Preservation of world famous Dal Lake hence, is need of hour. The aim of this study is identification and monitoring of effluent discharge and to suggest strategies for prevention of water pollution of Dal Lake. A descriptive methodology utilizing observational site survey, study of relevant records and interview technique for identification and monitoring of effluent discharge taking place into Dal Lake was carried out. Accordingly, Strategies for treatment of effluents discharged are suggested for prevention of water pollution of Dal Lake. The study revealed that effluent discharge taking place into the Dal Lake pollutes its water on daily basis. Pollutants that enter in Dal Lake are sewage and sullage, agriculture runoff, detergents and soaps, soil erosion from catchment areas, animal waste, solid wastes and wastes from houseboats, hotels and business establishments. The study is unique in that it reports on important issue of environmental degradation of world famous Dal Lake. Various measures proposed for conservation of lake including afforestation and control of grazing animals in the catchment area, removal of house boats and hotels and rehabilitation of their owners and inhabitants living in and around Dal at a suitable place, removal of excess weeds on continuous basis, construction of sanitation latrines for villagers, reducing use of chemical pesticides, avoiding use of commercial fertilizers, installation of STPs, restoring “Nallah Mar” and continuous monitoring of lake environment are expected to reduce the pollution and hence, preservation of the lake.

Operation “Blue Star” is the only event in the history of Independent India where the state went into war with its own people. Even after about 40 years it is not clear if it was culmination of states anger over people of the region, a political game of power or start of dictatorial chapter in the democratic setup.
The people of Punjab felt alienated from main stream due to denial of their just demands during a long democratic struggle since independence. As it happen all over the word, it led to militant struggle with great loss of lives of military, police and civilian personnel. Killing of Indira Gandhi and massacre of innocent Sikhs in Delhi and other India cities was also associated with this movement.
The Roman Empire A Historical Colossus.pdfkaushalkr1407
The Roman Empire, a vast and enduring power, stands as one of history's most remarkable civilizations, leaving an indelible imprint on the world. It emerged from the Roman Republic, transitioning into an imperial powerhouse under the leadership of Augustus Caesar in 27 BCE. This transformation marked the beginning of an era defined by unprecedented territorial expansion, architectural marvels, and profound cultural influence.
The empire's roots lie in the city of Rome, founded, according to legend, by Romulus in 753 BCE. Over centuries, Rome evolved from a small settlement to a formidable republic, characterized by a complex political system with elected officials and checks on power. However, internal strife, class conflicts, and military ambitions paved the way for the end of the Republic. Julius Caesar’s dictatorship and subsequent assassination in 44 BCE created a power vacuum, leading to a civil war. Octavian, later Augustus, emerged victorious, heralding the Roman Empire’s birth.
Under Augustus, the empire experienced the Pax Romana, a 200-year period of relative peace and stability. Augustus reformed the military, established efficient administrative systems, and initiated grand construction projects. The empire's borders expanded, encompassing territories from Britain to Egypt and from Spain to the Euphrates. Roman legions, renowned for their discipline and engineering prowess, secured and maintained these vast territories, building roads, fortifications, and cities that facilitated control and integration.
The Roman Empire’s society was hierarchical, with a rigid class system. At the top were the patricians, wealthy elites who held significant political power. Below them were the plebeians, free citizens with limited political influence, and the vast numbers of slaves who formed the backbone of the economy. The family unit was central, governed by the paterfamilias, the male head who held absolute authority.
Culturally, the Romans were eclectic, absorbing and adapting elements from the civilizations they encountered, particularly the Greeks. Roman art, literature, and philosophy reflected this synthesis, creating a rich cultural tapestry. Latin, the Roman language, became the lingua franca of the Western world, influencing numerous modern languages.
Roman architecture and engineering achievements were monumental. They perfected the arch, vault, and dome, constructing enduring structures like the Colosseum, Pantheon, and aqueducts. These engineering marvels not only showcased Roman ingenuity but also served practical purposes, from public entertainment to water supply.
The French Revolution, which began in 1789, was a period of radical social and political upheaval in France. It marked the decline of absolute monarchies, the rise of secular and democratic republics, and the eventual rise of Napoleon Bonaparte. This revolutionary period is crucial in understanding the transition from feudalism to modernity in Europe.

June 3, 2024 Anti-Semitism Letter Sent to MIT President Kornbluth and MIT Cor...Levi Shapiro
Letter from the Congress of the United States regarding Anti-Semitism sent June 3rd to MIT President Sally Kornbluth, MIT Corp Chair, Mark Gorenberg
Dear Dr. Kornbluth and Mr. Gorenberg,
The US House of Representatives is deeply concerned by ongoing and pervasive acts of antisemitic
harassment and intimidation at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT). Failing to act decisively to ensure a safe learning environment for all students would be a grave dereliction of your responsibilities as President of MIT and Chair of the MIT Corporation.
This Congress will not stand idly by and allow an environment hostile to Jewish students to persist. The House believes that your institution is in violation of Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, and the inability or
unwillingness to rectify this violation through action requires accountability.
Postsecondary education is a unique opportunity for students to learn and have their ideas and beliefs challenged. However, universities receiving hundreds of millions of federal funds annually have denied
students that opportunity and have been hijacked to become venues for the promotion of terrorism, antisemitic harassment and intimidation, unlawful encampments, and in some cases, assaults and riots.
The House of Representatives will not countenance the use of federal funds to indoctrinate students into hateful, antisemitic, anti-American supporters of terrorism. Investigations into campus antisemitism by the Committee on Education and the Workforce and the Committee on Ways and Means have been expanded into a Congress-wide probe across all relevant jurisdictions to address this national crisis. The undersigned Committees will conduct oversight into the use of federal funds at MIT and its learning environment under authorities granted to each Committee.
• The Committee on Education and the Workforce has been investigating your institution since December 7, 2023. The Committee has broad jurisdiction over postsecondary education, including its compliance with Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, campus safety concerns over disruptions to the learning environment, and the awarding of federal student aid under the Higher Education Act.
• The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is investigating the sources of funding and other support flowing to groups espousing pro-Hamas propaganda and engaged in antisemitic harassment and intimidation of students. The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is the principal oversight committee of the US House of Representatives and has broad authority to investigate “any matter” at “any time” under House Rule X.
• The Committee on Ways and Means has been investigating several universities since November 15, 2023, when the Committee held a hearing entitled From Ivory Towers to Dark Corners: Investigating the Nexus Between Antisemitism, Tax-Exempt Universities, and Terror Financing. The Committee followed the hearing with letters to those institutions on January 10, 202
A Strategic Approach: GenAI in EducationPeter Windle
Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies such as Generative AI, Image Generators and Large Language Models have had a dramatic impact on teaching, learning and assessment over the past 18 months. The most immediate threat AI posed was to Academic Integrity with Higher Education Institutes (HEIs) focusing their efforts on combating the use of GenAI in assessment. Guidelines were developed for staff and students, policies put in place too. Innovative educators have forged paths in the use of Generative AI for teaching, learning and assessments leading to pockets of transformation springing up across HEIs, often with little or no top-down guidance, support or direction.
This Gasta posits a strategic approach to integrating AI into HEIs to prepare staff, students and the curriculum for an evolving world and workplace. We will highlight the advantages of working with these technologies beyond the realm of teaching, learning and assessment by considering prompt engineering skills, industry impact, curriculum changes, and the need for staff upskilling. In contrast, not engaging strategically with Generative AI poses risks, including falling behind peers, missed opportunities and failing to ensure our graduates remain employable. The rapid evolution of AI technologies necessitates a proactive and strategic approach if we are to remain relevant.

1. ENVIRONMENTAL POLLUTION AND DAL - LAKE
BY
YAQEEN UL HAQ AHMAD SIKANDER
Environment comprises of Land, Water and Air. This term is used for immediate
surroundings in which living things grow. Plants, Human beings and animals are all living
things. They behave in a particular way in different situations. Animals and plants live with
greater integrity and care about their environment much more than the human beings.
Humans are constantly altering their environment to precisely suit their way of living. They
do not care about what they are doing to plants and animals by their behaviour. The
destruction of the world's tropical rain forests to create farms or grazing land for cattle,
have led to altered climate patterns.
The problems facing the environment are vast and diverse. Rapid Industrialization results in
the deterioration of the quality of air. This is happening in almost all urban areas throughout
the world. In short, the Industrial revolution and modern civilization turn the air we breathe
into a waste basket of dust, mist, odour, toxic gases and smoke. The air pollution affects the
human health greatly.
Prevention of air pollution is not as simple as explained in words. However much of the
pollution could be prevented without undue cost by careful planning and setting of
Industries, better design equipment and better operation of the equipment. There are three
major means of controlling the air pollution:-
1) Fuel selection and utilization: Only those fuels should be used which produce less
pollution and these should also be used judiciously. Alternative sources of energy should be
used to prevent air pollution.
2) Process changes or equipment: This can be broadly classified into two categories:
i) Control of aerosol emissions: Emission of aerosol sprays must be controlled as far as
possible. More and more new equipments have been designed at present to control aerosol
emissions.
ii) Control of gaseous pollutants: Those gases that pollute the air must be checked and
controlled. The harmful gases coming out from vehicles must be checked.
3) Site selection and zoning: The site selection is the process of locating a single industrial
plant. Site selection results in production of a single source of pollution as compared to
numerous emission sources. Zoning is a control measure based upon the knowledge of
mechanics of the atmosphere which acts as the transfer medium.
2. Now water pollution is another serious problem because sewage and industrial effluents are
being disposed into the water bodies. This is a serious tragedy of mankind. Water pollution
nowadays is considered not only in terms of public health but also in terms of conservation,
aesthetics and preservation of natural beauty and resources. Industrial effluents when
discharged through the sewage system poison the biological purification mechanisms of
sewage treatment and these sewages on subsequent discharge result in pollution of rivers.
Waste from agricultural practices such as insecticides and pesticides cause more water
pollution. The prevention of water pollution has been discussed at the end.
Soil Pollution, often termed as the "third pollution" is definitely a serious problem equal in
magnitude to that of air and water pollution. About 90% of the pollution of the soil is caused
by solid wastes. Land is polluted largely by solid wastes from homes, farms and industries.
Hence control measures primarily include disposal of solid wastes which is not easy since
the economy involved is very high. To make the disposal of wastes economical, recycling of
material is necessary. Disposal of wastes maybe studied under three heads:
1) Collection of Wastes: 80% of the total cost of the solid waste management is spent for
collection only. To save time and money, transfer stations must be constructed at various
points in a city. Another possible way is the use of pneumatic pipes.
2) Recycling of Wastes: Recycling is the most desirable means of solid waste management in
future. Recycling has two advantages:
i) Conservation of existing natural resources
ii) And sufficient reduction in the volume of the refuse to be disposed.
3) Disposal of Wastes: Dumping is also a popular and inexpensive means of solid waste
disposal. However, there are many disadvantages of dumping and other means have to be
sought out. Incineration is a solution for solving the solid waste problem. But the cost of
operations is high and moreover incineration creates air problems. Prolysis (combustion in
the absence of oxygen) is also an acceptable means of disposal. In spite of it all, no cheap
and efficient method has been found yet for the disposal of the solid wastes.
Now when we talk about our own state of Kashmir, we hear but not see the real paradise on
earth. In the recent past, Kashmir was really a paradise on earth, green grass like velvet was
everywhere, clean water lakes and streams, and gardens full of flowers. Smell of different
flowers really made a pleasant sense. Mughal gardens play a vital role in the beauty of the
Kashmir valley. Dal Lake is the main source of beauty in the heart of the city. It was once a
very clear and a much bigger and pure water source. So many house boats are there to pay
comfortable attention to the visitors. On one side of the Dal, so many hotels have been
built. Their waste of kitchens and bathrooms is sometimes directly thrown into the Dal Lake.
3. House boats too add so many types of wastes to this lake. As a result of this waste, the Dal
Lake has been severely polluted and much of the algae and fungi have grown on it.
Encroachment of Dal Lake in the form of small and big residential places on the banks of the
Dal has really diminished its size. In spite of the efforts of the government and the NGO's
people hardly care about the beauty and important of this prime lake.
We people have to take every step to ensure the safety of the Dal Lake. The drainage and
sewage of the nearby houses and hotels must not be diverted to Dal Lake. People living in
the houses on the banks of the Dal Lake should be rehabilitated and the banks should be
cleared and developed. Laws should be passed to punish those who are found guilty of
polluting the Dal Lake by any means. The drainage system of the house boats should be of
the modern type i.e. having a tank along the boat, along with a modern system of cleaning
this tank frequently. Environmentalists from all over the country must be consulted for this
cause. And this important cause at any cost must not be neglected. People must also take
active part in this process by joining hands and cooperating with the government and other
eco-friendly organisations. If we take these simple measures to save Dal Lake, then only our
future generation will be able to view its beauty or Dal Lake will become just an another
history. It’s only the beauty of the Dal Lake that attracts tourists from all over the world to
enjoy it but if we don’t preserve this asset then it will soon come to extinction.
So to conclude, I have so far discussed briefly about the air, water and land pollution and
their prevention. And these elements i.e. Air, Water and Soil together constitute the
environment. In order to save the environment, we must prevent the pollution of air, water
and land. The steps that I have discussed above to prevent the pollution must be
implemented in order to save the environment.
