SAVE ELECTRICITY
 Respected teachers and my dear friends. Today I want to draw the Re
attention of one and all towards the wastage of electricity in our country. You
will agree that during the last several years the consumption of electricity
has been steadily rising. Since 1992 consumption of electricity produced and
supplied was 500 Megawatts and more
The major portion of consumption was of the industrial houses; it was
250 Megawatts in 1992 but touched 350 Megawatts. Residential units
consumed 100 Megawatts in 1992 but it rose to 150 in 1993. In agriculture
sector, the rise was not steep because of a satisfactory rainfall. But there
was also a slight rise in consumption in this sector from 1992 onwards.
This overall look on the consumption front indicates that it has been
rising steadily. This is because of many factors. There are changes in the
standard of living and total dependence for using various gadgets of daily
use of electricity. Obviously, this meant that in the coming years electricity
crisis may be sharper unless effects are made to set up more thermal or
hydel power stations. I would like to add that we must check the misuse of
electricity in every way. All perhaps know that electricity saved is electricity
produced. So we must use it when it is necessary and unavoidable. For
example, we must switch it off in the room from which we come out. Coolers,
refrigerators, TVs, etc. must be switched off when they are not used.
Similarly, street lights must be switched on when it is really dark. Farmers
can save electricity by using good quality condensers and ISI marked motors
for their tube wells. Only in this way can we save much electricity.

SPEECH REGARDING GLOBAL WARMING

Respected Principal, teachers and friends

Today I am here to speak on global warming. It seems we have

greatly disturbed th ve refused to bless us. What we need is to
rise up to the cause of all this. It is a fact e ecological balance of
nature. The rains which used to be in plenty in the past ha that
due to global warming, nature has been undergoing serious
changes. These have already started showing grim signs of
dangers to human life. With the advancement of technology, man
has abused nature and therefore nature is now not in her
benevolent state. It has been exploited by humans for their own
selfish purposes.

It has been reported that due to global warming glaciers and

some other snow capped mountains are gradually melting. The
result is that these glaciers, which provided a cold condition till
now, are fast melting and resulting in the rising of the sea-level.

Speech Regarding TREE PLANTATION

Respected Principal, Teachers, members of the staff and fellow
students !
I am very happy to see all of you here today for the inauguration
of the local School Garden which will be accomplished only after a
tree planting ceremony. We have with us plenty of saplings that
have been donated by you. I am here to speak on Tree
plantation. You know how greatly beneficial trees are! They, in
fact, sustain our lives. Just imagine, if they had not provided us
with oxygen or with food, fuel, furniture, fruits, herbs, houses for
birds, what kind of life it would have been? Well, there wouldnt
have been life at all.
Just planting the saplings and letting nature to take care of the
rest will not help. It is our duty as good dedicated citizens to look
after these saplings and water them. Besides this, trees cause
rains which are as necessary as air. They give us a beautiful
landscape and help in the ecological balance of nature. You can
imagine the surface of the moon. Our earth would be like that
without trees lifeless, colourless, lustreless. We are here
because of them. We must therefore start valuing them. In the
past trees were planted by kings and nawabs on roads, around
palaces and in gardens. In the modern times local governments
have been planting them on roads and in parks. In the future
people shall plant them almost everywhere on vacant spaces. Our
disregard for trees has borne us with sour fruits. See the effects of
deforestation and increasing urbanization. Environmental
pollution is their result. Global warming, or the Green House effect
have caused drought conditions in many parts of the world.
Undoubtedly many states in our country are value of tree
plantation due to these reasons, it becomes our urgent duty to
plant more and more trees on every available inch of land. It is
the need of the hour that something should be done to restrain
the increasing environmental degradation by planting more trees
and implementing various laws to check tree felling. If something
reeling under scanty rainfall. If we are really serious about the is
not done soon, the damage to our biosphere will be difficult to
repair.

Speech about Farewell Day

Respected Teachers and Dear Friends,

Today is our Farewell day; we are all leaving the school and may
never meet again. So it really hurts my heart but at the same
time we should understand that it is the time to face the reality of
world.
I shall miss your company my dear friends. My journey in this
wonderful world, where every day is a new day for me and learnt
something new on every moment. From the beginning i.e. from
Junior K.G. to till now at SSC I explore different aspect of life. My
experience from this school is a mixture of everything, Joy, Laugh,
Emotions, and most important the work load.
Our faculties are really supermen they worked so hard for us. It is
my wish that we face the first greatest challenge in our lives, the
challenge of the SSC board examination, with great success. I also
wish that we bring great honour to our school, not only by doing
excellently in the forthcoming SSC examination, but also by going
out into the world and becoming model citizens.
I thank the school on behalf of all of us for giving us the great
opportunity to learn and explore everything in our life.

Speech about Teachers Day

mathematicians, artists, builders, scholars, lawyers, teachers, etc.
They are always sincere, responsible, committed, and patient.
Teaching is the best profession of all the professions. So dear

honour teachers not just today, but all times and in every possible

EYE DONATION

Dear Friends, we have one life let us make our one life more
meaningful by donating eyes. Eye donation is the mother of all donations.
Eye donation directly gives vision to another human being. It is not only
gives vision to one individual but also to the entire family of that individual.
A person who wishes to donate his eyes after his death has to go to an eye
hospital and need to register his name with the hospital.
 The information about the person who agreed to donate eyes and
died is to be given to the respective hospital as early as possible. So, that
his eyes can be removed and saved within six hours. We can see the world
even after the death of ourselves by the way of donating eyes. So,
friends let us put our hands together and make a promise to
donate eyes after our death.

BLOOD DONATION
Dear friends, we have one life let us make our one life
more meaningful by donating blood. Blood donation is the mother of all
donations. Blood donation directly gives life to another human being. It is
not only saves one individual but also the entire family of that individual. A
person can donate blood thrice in a year. The donated blood will be
thoroughly checked and stored up in a secured form. For donating blood a
person must have a weight of at least 45 kg.
Many people have misunderstandings about bold
donation. They feel by donating blood they will fall sick. But it is not like so,
the donated blood will automatically regenerate by our body itself within
four to five hours after donating the blood. A person will be prohibited from
donating blood if he drank alcohol during the last six hours.
So friends, let us put our hands together and make a
promise to donate blood at least once in a year.
