Children’s Day is celebrated across the world on different days to honour children globally. In India, it is celebrated on November 14, the birthday of Pandit Jawaharlal Nehru. This celebration is not just a special day for children, rather this day must be the day to take some resolutions for the betterment of children. Children are the building blocks of our future society, so their perfect nourishment and development are very important for the future of a country. In this modern and so-called scientific times, due to our hyper-complexed and biased lifestyle entire scenario of development of society becomes grossly disturbed and distracted from the ideal path; which results into a state of gross disharmony, i.e. a diseased world. The entire society is driven by direct or indirect business policies, which surely are not beneficial all the time. There are a very few people today who are working for the betterment of the society by swimming against the flow of usual circumstances, without considering individual interest. Among them India’s youngest health scientist Dr. Sinchan Das & Dr. William Benzaminn are the two notable names. 
On the auspicious occasion of Children’s day, ‘The Friend’s Association’ of Kolkata organised a discussion with Dr. Sinchan Das & Prof. Dipak Chawdhury. In this ceremony, Dr. Sinchan spoke about the several dark sides of the society and how children often grow in a disturbed environment. Dr. Sinchan Das said, ‘Children are like soil loam, careful usage of which can make an idol; but rough usage or mishandling may destroy the loam; most dangerously we are doing this damage.”
Prof. Chawdhury said, “Damage is not always accompanied by the means of gross artificial damage or macroscopical damage, it may be subconscious damage also, where ignorantly damaged by few practices very popular they are in nature.”
Although India is the richest country from the educational, cultural and natural point of view, but the glorious past is continuously looses its originality due to some biased trend of copying. Children are the building blocks of a society and youth is the backbone; but due to a dangerous unhealthy competitive mentality and tendency of copying of some hilarious culture compels to neglect and ignore our original traditional culture, the uniqueness and the glory of the country got compromised. This mentality and practice leads to this unemployment issues. When the basic educational system has become unscientific and devoid of their unique style, the specialty of the country must be destroyed. The modern style of living has ruined the healthy development of a child & the originality which he or she inherited spontaneously. As a result, children are suffering from serious psychological and physical pathological conditions shockingly. In the development of a child, there are few tasks performed by the parents, may be not grouped under macroscopical damaging influence, but having serious latent effects in the future; like interpersonal unhealthy relationships, insulting behaviours, substance abuse, interpersonal distance between family members, cruelty e.t.c. & many more, said Prof. Chawdhury.
Another point is ‘the choice of profession’ pointed out by Dr. Das. When the profession does not accompanied with self satisfaction, peace and according to their passion they must resulting into irritation, depression, addiction, frustration, suicidal tendencies and fatigues. These are the cause of arrogance. This happened due to maldesigned examination oriented educational system, which can strangulate a person’s creativity, productivity, thought e.t.c. within the boundaries of syllabus; these result into a gross deprivation and deterioration of the productivity of the society. Practicing unhealthy incidents knowingly under the mask of individual freedom is nothing but the crime with the nature consciously, because we have individual freedom to live healthy and make healthy; but do not have any freedom to damage ourselves or any components of the nature consciously or subconsciously in a direct or indirect manner. It is not a matter of choice which only confined within you. The unhealthy practices are stored within our genetic and psychological level which may deranges our next generations and the nature seriously. In these cases we all have to pay for it by sacrificing our entire existence.
“Many people said, ‘change is life, generations are changing themselves step by step; change is the key of existence and success’ e.t.c.. Change and up-gradation are not same thing. We have to upgrade ourselves from a blunt to finer form; but not to indulge ourselves under the race of copying; which possess ‘zero’ productivity”, said Dr. Das. At the end of this discussion, Prof. Chawdhury attracted the attention of the audience towards the ever-growing scenario of ‘Addiction’, which has become a potential threat for the environment. He referred the research paper of Dr. Sinchan Das, named ‘Tobacco, Alcohol, The Social Threats’ from IJAR in the talk. Addiction is nothing but the failure of a person to cope up with his life styles or business. Addiction is not a casual thing it is a material of some persons having a shameful character to show off what they are not. A person who promote addiction is nothing but a criminal, because he played a valuable role in the social degradation.
They give a message to the society, “try to understand the capabilities of your children. Please do not damage their creativity or originality just to match social trends of copying. Do not use any negative word to give punishment, because negative words easily attracts human mind. Try to maintain an open relationship with your children and in case of teachers with your students. Try to listen your pupils, try to read them and try to find out the insult from a neutral point of view. There are much more things beyond our limited knowledge & capacity; so please don’t be over satisfied with your understandings. Think healthy, make healthy, behave healthy & live healthy. Creativity enhances productivity & quality.”
