IN INDIA Recruitment Policy in Indian Government Services is a structured framework designed to ensure fair, transparent and merit-based hiring to fill public sector positions. It emphasizes impartiality, adherence to constitutional provisions such as Reservation Quotas and filling roles through standardized methods like competitive examinations and interviewer conducted by Independent Bodies. 2. KEY ASPECTS OF RECRUITMENT POLICY IN INDIA. a) Constitutional Methods. There are governed by Article 309 of the Indian constitution, which, in the absence of legislative action empowers the Precedent or Governors to create temporary rules for public service employments. b) Merit-Based and Independent Aims to hire skilled talent through impartial agencies like Union Public service commission (UPSC) for Central Services & state public service commissions (SPSCs) for state roles. c) Reservation & Social Justice. Government incorporates mandatory reservations for scheduled casts (SC), Scheduled Tribes (ST), other backward classes (OBC) and economically weaker Sections (EWS) to ensure equitable representation. d) Transparency and uniformity. Government follows strict, predetermined Recruitment Rules (RR) for every position, outlining qualifications, age limits & selection methods. 3. PRIMARY METHODS OF RECRUITMENT a) Direct Recruitment: The most common methods involving open competitive examination e.g. Civil Service Exam and interviews conducted by commissions. b) Promotion: This is the way of filling higher posts/positions by promoting qualified employees from lower ranks, ensuring a career progression ladder. c) Deputation / Transfer. These transferring personnel from other government Departments, State Governments or Autonomous Bodies for a temporary period. d) Special Selection / Lateral Entry This relates to recruiting specialized talent from the private sector or academia for specific high-level positions, through this is less frequent than traditional methods. 4. Govt. Tribal quota details are as follows Thetribal quota (for scheduled Tribes or STs in Govt. of India jobs is 7.5%. This fixed percentage reservations as significantly lower than their overall share of the country’s population, as STs make up about 8.6% of India’s total population (according to 2011 census) Alike Tribal quota STs are also allowed standard 7.5% quota in all open competition/ direct recruitment across national civil services and central educational institutions. In case of promotion to STs are entitled to this 7.5% quota/ reservation in jobs. =Why the difference is there in term of Tribal quota and the STs Quota.? The 7.5% reservation was originally calculated based on early population when the constitution of India was drafted. Despite the Tribal population, growing to over 8.6% of the nation’s total demographics and Supreme Court copping total reservations across all categories at 50%, the national STs job quota has remained at 7.5%. = Age relaxation in recruitment rules/ policy in the govt. jobs Age relaxation is a policy that allows specific groups (SC/ST, OBC or PWD) to apply for govt. or corporate jobs beyond the standard upper-age limit. It adds extra to promote equal opportunity and account for systemic or historical disadvantages usually minimum & maximum age limit for unreserved category is 18 to 27 years. But in few exams like Bank PO, RRB NTPC etc the maximum age limit is 30 to 33 years. Govt. of West Bengal had already been announced 5 years extension of maximum age limit for any Govt. job exams conducted under State Govt. However the standard age relaxation rules are usually cumulative. For example, in govt. jobs exams- such as OBC candidate get + 3 years, SC/ST get + 5 years and PWD applicants get + 10 years added to the base maximum age. 5. KEY RECRUITMENT BODIES a) UPSC (Union Public Service Commission) It handles recruitment for Group-A and some Group-B (non gazette) and Group-C for posts in Ministries and Departments. b) SSC (Staff Selection Commission) It handles recruitment for Group B (non-gazette) and Group-C for posts in Ministers / Departments. c) State PSCs It conducts recruitment for State-level civil services. 6. EVEN AFTER 79 YEARS OF THE COUNTRY’S FREEDOM (IN 1947), THE RESERVATION QUOTAS LIKE SC, ST, OBC & EWS IN REGARD TO EMPLOYMENT / RECRUITMENT POLICY OF THE GOVERNMENT, SHOULD IT REMAIN MANDATORY INEVITABLE. The Indian Govt. thinks that Reservation quotas policy is still relevant in India as it has been functioning as a system of affirmative action to ensure social justice, equality, and representation. They are designed to address historical injustices, cast-based exclusion and social disadvantages by reserving a specific percentage of seats and posts in public employment. This system of employment or recruitment rules & policies cannot be ignored due to complexities, diversities, variances that still exist in Indian Social System, historically, from since evolving its civilization. 7. AS OF 2026, THE PRESENT STAGE & SITUATION OF THE GOVERNMENT RECRUITMENT FRAMEWORK. The government as has justified and honored the constitutional mandate as the recruitment policy is legally mandated under Articles 15 (4) and 16 (4) of the Indian constitution, allowing special

MIES is a pioneer institute of West Bengal Civil Service coaching in West Bengal. INTRODUCTION OF ROLE & IMPORTANCE OF YOGA IN THE PRESENT WORLD Yoga means to join or unite, referring to the harmonization of body, mind and spirit to achieve liberation. Its genesis traces back over 5000 years to the Indus-Saraswati Civilization in Ancient India. Born form the inner inquiries of the sages, the system evolved through the Vedas, Upanishads and patanjali’s Yoga Sutras. 2. ORIGIN OF THE LINGUISTIC MEANING, GENESIS & EVOLUTION OF YOGA The word ‘Yoga’ stems from the Sanskrit root ’Yuj’ which means “to Yoke”, “to join” or “to uniting of individual consciousness” with the universal consciousness, bringing harmony to person’s physical and mental states. The first written mentions of yoga appear in the Rig Veda, the oldest sacred Texts of India-Ancient priests used songs and mantras to chanel cosmic energy. In the Upanishadic period sages internalized the early rituals into philosophical inquiry, focusing on self-knowledge and wisdom, as highlighted in the Bhagavad Gita . Sage like patanjali codified the practice into the famous eight-limbed path (Ahastanga) in the Yoga Sutras, providing a systematic approach to meditation, morals and physical discipline. Thereafter starting in the late 19th centuries, masters brought Yoga to the west, evolving it into the globally recognized blend of physical postures (asanas), breath work & meditation. 3. IS YOGA A SCIENCE ? Yes, Yoga is a science as it is considered a subtle internal or inner Science and an experimental methodology focused an systematic self-observation, lifestyle harmony and the realization of unity within human consciousness. = It is related to modern fields like neuroscience, anatomy & psychology which functions as an inner science of human energy & perception & achieves the deep integration of mind & body. = Yoga as a science, it operates as a systematic technology using precise methods like postures, breath & meditation as tested through direct internal observation rather than external lab instruments. = It also aligns with movement mechanics, musculoskeletal aligment & isometric conditioning what is known as Anatomy & physiology. = Yoga postures and breathing affect organs, blood flow & the nervous system. It also explores mental habits, emotional regulation and stress relief through meditation. It also measures mindfulness and meditation change brain structure and activity. = Yoga does the integration of mind & body & spirit. Yoga by its step-by-step practices can test and observe result in the human body & mind. Yoga is of empirical nature as the ancient and modern practitioners use direct inner experience rather than blunt belief. Yoga brings harmony to physical health and emotional stability & work as one whole system. Yoga is one whole system to integrate human body, mind and soul spirits, as well as bring mental relief and calmness through its meditation techniques & process. It also makes humans sharper and keen in self observation & self introspection to ensure sustainance of inner peace & mental stability. 4. THE PHILOSOPHY OF YOGA At is core, Yoga is not just excuse, but a path to overcome suffering, balance the senses and reach self-reflection or ‘noksha’. Many modern practiceoners and historians view Yoga as a deeply transformative, holistic way of life rather than just a physical routine. From its earliest beginnings, Yoga was seen not as a technique but as complete way of life-a practical system for living with awareness, balance and purpose, both internally and in the world. The aim of yoga is self-realization, to overcome all limits of sufferings leading to the “state of liberation”. 5. HOW YOGA HAS BEEN GLOBALLY RECOGNIZED BY THE UNO & POPULARIZED, AND EMBRACED WORLDWIDE. Yoga’s global recognition means the ancient Indian disciplined as a universal, non-religious practice for physical fitness, mental clarity, and holistic wellness. It represents a shift from localized spiritual tradition to an internationally recognized tool for combating lifestyle diseases and stress. 6. YOGA’S MILESTONE OF GLOBAL RECOGNITION. = United Nations proclamation. Following a proposal by India, the United Nations declared June 21 as the International Day of Yoga in 2014, with a record 175 member states endorsing the resolution. = UNESCO inscribed Yoga on the Representative list of its intangible Cultural Heritage of Humanity in 2016. = The World Health Organization (WHO) advocates for Yoga as a primary preventive measure against sedentary lifestyles and non-communicable diseases. 7. CULTURAL AND PRACTICAL IMPACT OF YOGA. Today modern Yoga transcends borders allowing people of all ages, cultures and fitness levels to harmonize their mind

Plastic Waste Management in India &its Legal Implications Introduction of Plastic Waste Management in India Plastics are one of the important materials in the field of technology, innovation, and industrialization. One cannot imagine a life without the use of plastic. It operates in every aspect of life, whether moving along the beach, strolling on the road, using daily products in our homes, or swimming in the ocean. Although plastic is a versatile and handy product, at the same time, the use of plastic causes significant global environmental damage. Plastic waste is an evil to the earth because it damages the beauty of all the beaches and land, and the natural living conditions of the entire animal world. Non-management of Plastic Waste results in Pollution. Plastic waste, if not managed properly, can spread pollution into the natural environment in amounts or concentrations. This polluted Plastic waste is harmful to humans, animals, and the planet, both on land, in water, and air. Hence, the specific parts of the Earth system that can be affected are (a) Land (b) Waterways (such as ground water, rivers, lakes, bays, and oceans) (c) Air (d) Climate 3. Effect of Plastic Waste on Agriculture. Plastic waste is a significant and often disregarded issue in the agriculture sector. This has a profound effect on food safety and productivity. Plastic garbage has been a major concern in recent years because of its inherent inability to biodegrade, which leads to numerous environmental problems. Plastic waste can pollute the soil in agricultural areas, hindering plant growth and preventing plants from properly absorbing nutrients. Furthermore, irrigation systems may be hampered by the presence of plastic waste, which could lead to water stagnation and agricultural losses. Furthermore, if harmful chemicals are released into the environment by plastics, those chemicals will be absorbed by plants. Eventually, Plastic waste directly or indirectly enters the food chain, posing a threat to human health and the living environment. 4. Plastic Waste Scenario in India Certain research data published in the International Journal of Nature have revealed that India is the largest plastic polluter in the World. As regards plastic waste generation,, India accounts for̶ Few other countries account for̶ Reports focus on countries in the North, South, and South-Eastern regions producing the maximum plastic waste water pollution due to the open burning of their plastic waste. It is quite alarming that India generates 9.3 million tonnes of plastic waste annually, with 25490 tonnes per capita. But this trend of increasing rate indicates that in the last five years it has quadrupled, preceding the start of the Pandemic. The pandemic itself resulted in increased plastic usage by the FMCG Markets, e-commerce, Food-delivery services, etc. India generates approximately 4 million tonnes of plastic waste annually, with only a quarter being recycled or treated. To address this issue, the government implemented the Extended Producer Responsibility (EPR) rules, mandating that plastic users are responsible for collecting and recycling their waste. This system operates through an online EPR trading platform, where recyclers receive certificates for recycled plastic that can be purchased by companies falling short of their recycling targets. However, the EPR system has faced significant challenges. In 2022-23, nearly 3.7 million tonnes of recycled plastic certificates were generated, but a substantial number were found to be fraudulent. While the market-driven approach shows promise, it has limitations. Addressing India’s plastic waste problem requires not only improving the recycling system but also focusing on reducing plastic production and promoting sustainable alternatives. 5. Reasons for High Plastic Pollution in India. 6. Issues Associated with Mismanaged Plastic Waste in India: The biggest pollution problem is due to the overproduction of plastics in India. Due to over-production of plastics in India, 40% of the total plastics produced are dumped in landfills, clogging water bodies and polluting streets. This unmanaged plastic waste makes it easy to enter animal better and simultaneously pollutes land, water, the natural environment, and the climate harmful to human and animal existence. But 60% of the plastic waste is collected but not recycled. Only a very small percentage of plastics are recycled & the remaining major portion remains as rotting waste in the landfills, resulting in threats to animal lives. Plastic waste continuously falling into the Ocean creates a severe problem in India, harming marine life & damaging habitats. Plastic waste in the Ocean is posing a serious and adverse impact in India. According

Environmental problems or issues are the set of challenges and problems that are seriously affecting the living environment and public health all over the world. Climate change and pollution to overpopulation and energy consumption are the main issues that have turned out to be very complex being interconnected. The main serious environmental issues consist of the following: (1) Air pollution (2) Water Pollution (3) Solid waste (4) Radioactive waste (5) Greenhouse effect & global warming (6) Ozone Depletion in the Stratosphere (7) Deforestation Now let these be discussed methodically which are the most serious environmental issues & concerns to the existence of the entire living world. 1. AIR POLLUTION: Air Pollution is contamination of the indoor or outdoor environment by any chemical, physical, or biological agent that modifies the natural characteristics of the atmosphere. Moreover, Household combustion devices, motor vehicles, industrial facilities & forest fires are common sources of air pollution. Simply speaking, it is the contamination of air by harmful gases, dust & smoke which affects plants, animals & humans drastically. Nevertheless, there is a certain percentage of gases present in the atmosphere, and an increase or decrease in the composition of these gases is harmful to survival. Causes of air pollution: Air pollution is caused by solid and liquid particles and certain gases are suspended in the air. The particles & gases can come from cars, trucks, exhaust, factories, dust, pollen, mold spores, volcanoes, and wildfires. NASA explains that air pollution is caused by vehicle emissions, fuel oils & natural gas to heat homes, by-products of manufacturing and power generation, particularly coal-fueled power plants, and fumes from chemical production which are called primary sources of human-made air pollution. The main sources of pollutants to air pollution are : Smoke stacks – from Thermal power plant Particulate matter from plant Carbon Monoxide, Lead (Pb) & Nitric Oxide (No) from Automobiles (like Car) Authorities/Agencies engaged to limit Air Pollution in India: At present, the active participate – authorities/agencies that are vigilant in limiting the emission of air pollutants in India. (a) The Central Pollution Control Board (CPCB) (b) Convention on Environment on a Long-range Transboundary Air Pollution (CLRTAP) (c) National Clean Air Programme (NCAP) WHO’s Report on Environmental Pollution in India : According to WHO’s report on Air Pollution in India estimated that about 1.2 million people die each year. The number is further staggering when monetized is that the economic loss to India as regards prevention & control of environmental pollution is estimated at 150 million dollars per year. Who also report that Asthma and lung cancer from Environmental Pollution say Air Pollution even affects children before they are born. The five top most and tough affected countries or the most polluted countries in the world are Nepal, Bangladesh, Bahrain, Pakistan & India due to Air Pollution & other pollution as per the Air Pollution Index 2020. 2. WATER POLLUTION: How water Pollution impacts environmental pollution: Environmental Pollution As regards Water Pollution, it stands out that water pollution is caused majorly by Domestic Sewage, Industrial Effluents, pollutants like pesticides, nitrates, petroleum products, etc. BOD’s (Biological Oxygen Demand) measurement: BOD’s measurement focuses on water pollution is also seriously impacting & helping increase the environmental pollution level in developing countries or many countries of the world. BOD level means Oxygen consumption by micro-organisms when they decompose organic matter in craters. BOD can kill aquatic life: It is the key indicator of water quality and the degree of organic pollution level can lead to rapid depletion of Oxygen in water, which can kill multifarious aquatic lives like fishes & other related lives of this sort. Algal Bloom/Algae Bloom: This is another type of pollutant or nutrient whose presence in water causes the growth of planktonic which deteriorates water quality & helps increase fish mortality rate. Water toxicant: This means an increase of toxicity in water which accumulates and concentrates toxic substances in the water causing water pollution which is called Bio-magnification. The accumulated and toxic substances or toxic organisms cannot be metabolized or exerted & thus passed on to the next higher tropic level. This phenomenon is well-known for mercury & DDT. Another agent/element/cause like Eutrophication which is technically the process of too many plants growing on the

MIES is a pioneer institute of West Bengal Civil Service coaching in West Bengal. As per the students’ version, MIES is the Best Training Academy for Govt. Job exam in West Bengal. DEMOCRATIC EDUCATION IS INSTRUMENTAL FOR PROGRESSION OF THE SOCIETY AND THE NATION. Men can become men only by true education idealists emphasize the total development of a man’s personality in and Through a specially selected social environment which would impel him to draw out the best powers and to nurture them for the realization of his intellectual, social, moral and spiritual self. Mahatma Gandhi rightly defined education as “the all-round drawing out of the best in child and man-body, mind and spirit.” A modern man needs faith in the power of man held by the early Greeks. Sophocles expressed this faith in the heroic race through the Theban Elders in Antigone. “Of all the wonders beneath the Sun The most wonderful is man He weareth Earth unweariedly He hath taught himself speech And wind-swift Thought. Of the ages in history, man felt that he was “a little lower than the angels.” This faith in one’s power and respect for other’s power gives birth to the concept of Democracy which has earned such popularity as an ideology and also as an implementation that modern thinkers cannot but reflect on any aspect of human life as the principle of democracy. Literal Meaning of Democracy Uses of Democracy in different contexts – DEMOCRATIC EDUCATION IS AN INSTRUMENT Modern man, philosophers, and politicians have taken Democracy as the very way of living, under the purview of which comes the social, political, religious, moral, and economic aspects of life. In this type of social environment, everyone is to develop himself fully obviously without interfering in the development of others. The individual and society thus come closer to each other and stand in perfect harmony, keeping in view the interests of both –the individual and the group. John Dearey has defined democracy as more than a form of government. It is primarily a mode of essential living conjoint communicated experience. The most salient feature of Democracy is the equal rights of everyone in thought and action and sharing experiences. The utterance of equality, fraternity, and liberty, which pierced the air during the French Revolution constitutes the lifeblood of Democracy. The Preamble of the Indian Constitution – DEMOCRATIC EDUCATION IS AN INSTRUMENT The Preamble to the constitution of India propagates the same message and deals with true democracy such as “WE, THE PEOPLE OF INDIA, having solemnly resolved to constitute India into a SOVEREIGN SOCIALIST SECULAR DEMOCRATIC REPUBLIC and to secure to all its citizens: JUSTICE, social, economic and political; LIBERTY of thought, expression, belief, faith and worship; EQUALITY of status and of opportunity; FRATERNITY assuring the dignity of the individual and the unity and integrity of the Nation;” This deal facilitates the progress of both the individual and the society. This deal facilitates the progress of both the individual and the society. DEMOCRATISING THE INDIAN SOCIETY We are here concerned with the discussion of Education for Democracy. We should make one thing clear to make education an instrument for democratizing society, education itself must have the principles of democracy. The whole education program should breathe a spirit of democracy. So we should now consider a few basic principles of democracy in the texture of education. BRIEFLY FOCUSING THE PRINCIPLES OF DEMOCRACY. Spirit of Democratic education ensures freedom for every individual. Freedom is the basic need of the human soul. Nothing good enters into the human world except in and through the free activities of individual men & women. So education must be tinged with the spirit of freedom such as freedom in thought, action and movement which means not the freedom, whatever one wishes to do with his emotion & sentiment of whimsical impulse, but whatever one does, must be a ___________ action not affecting any pain or loss to another person\s. Tolerance: The democratic ideal is harbored best in an atmosphere of tolerance. Everyone is from his sphere but Everyone must have a feeling of tolerance for other’s views, thoughts & actions. The present state of restlessness all over the world is the outcome of a lack of such tolerance. So democratic education system shapes individual students’ quality of tolerance. Co-operation: Democracy or democratic education teaches cooperation between man & man, Man & Woman, and woman & woman which means all individuals of a society or a nation must have the spirit of cooperation with each other in doing deeds and duties, become prosperity and progress in human socially rest on cooperation. Democracy and educational aim The educational process and its aim should be directed to democracy. All should keep in mind that democracy is not an extreme force; this is a way of life. So Education

PERENNIAWEALTH OF EXPERIENCES In this world, we are born as human beings, to live and die. Every human being male or female passes equally, right from birth, through countless series of experiences. Every day, humans are expanding the base of their experiences through the works and actions of daily life and the knowledge earned from their experiences turns into a great wealth to their lives, society, and the world. POWER OF EXPERIENCE An experienced person with the power of will and spirit of experience can easily face any problematic situation and challenge in life. With this power to face, he can easily attain the power to make everyone content with the willpower of his experience. Experience/s is or is an invaluable treasure in everyone’s life. PERENNIAL WEALTH OF EXPERIENCES – GAINING KNOWLEDGE FROM EXPERIENCES Humans gain different kinds of knowledge right from birth and keep on learning throughout their lives. Curiosity to know people, things, and events in different places and environments. Every bit of knowledge one gets from life and work adds up to an existing knowledge base. When we gain knowledge, we start putting that knowledge into practical application Some knowledge we gain from our own lives to experience. *Some knowledge we gain by reading books and other materials.* Some knowledge we gain with the passage of time. This way human’s treasure of knowledge grows out of experience and itself is a great wealth of a human more valuable than anything else in his life. THE KNOWLEDGE THAT HUMANS GET FROM ONE WITHIN IS VERY IMPORTANT: To be clear of this perception, a man or woman first has to get a thought from which one feels and experiences knowledge. At this point, every human must be very aware of the positive benefit of the type of thought they would take up in their mind. All thoughts are born out of human minds, but humans should be selective to indulge in positive thought, the thought that shall be elevated as pure. Pure thoughts provide opportunities for learning and gaining fruitful experience. From this base and state, one can look at the world. When he looks at the world widely before, around, and above him, he can observe many pleasant things to add to the treasure of his experience and knowledge together and can make his understanding and decision more positive and clear about life and service, activity, and goal and turn that more effective and beneficial to his life, society, and the world too. It is said that thoughts lead human beings and guide their lives. Similarly, their experiences also guide, lead, and advise them for their future life & excellence. A CLEAR PURPOSE OR AIM IN LIFE MAKES HUMANS MORE EXPERIENCED KNOWLEDGEABLE AND WISE: Through doing every work, action and struggle toward one’s goal or aim, one becomes steadily experienced, prudent, knowledgeable, and wise. So the process of gaining and accumulating experiences and learning in life turns out to be a strong and perennial base to be wise & self confident. Every man must have active and earnest intentions to constantly make progress in life with a clear focus on their aim and object of life which should be very clear from the beginning of life. When a human applies his earned knowledge, his treasure of experiences further increases significantly. This way, one who increases his knowledge more and more from his varied practical experiences of life, gradually and steadily turns into a man of mature and prudent knowledge and perennial wisdom. Therefore it can be said that experience in life with knowledge becomes the base of wisdom which is more precious than material wealth. WHAT HAPPENS WHEN A MAN PASSES THROUGH THE PROCESS OF GAINING KNOWLEDGE AND LEARNING NEW LESSON OF LIFE? When a man passes through the process of gaining more and more knowledge and lessons through various experiences of life, he elevates and reaches the stage of self-realization which in turn expands his base of experience to further heights and peaks of eternity & becomes completely a perfect and free soul, free from the illusive, material and selfish attachment of their mundane earthly and evanescent life. Besides, his experience teaches him how to proceed and elevate his wise stature in life from time to time in various situations. It is true that experience is a source of strength, self-confidence, and courage. PERENNIAL WEALTH OF EXPERIENCES – KNOWLEDGE OF EXPERIENCE IS LIKE A TORCHLIGHT: Knowledge of experience focuses its light on the uneven or even path of life. It is a treasure in white whatever pleasant or unpleasant has happened in a life is stored up and that

TIPS of Principles to Success For achieving success in general there are problems people are facing today either in individual life social life political or working life mainly due to negligence of moral values since men or women have systematically eliminated this vital aspect of human existence. Another success problem is the changing or altering of one’s attitude, perspective, behavior, or approach to a situation or towards achieving success. Success and failure are part of life and ought to intercept each other. The keynote is to learn one’s lessons from both by not getting overconfident due to success or not being demoralized due to failure. Sometimes circumstances may lead to successive failures. During such a time or situation, instead of getting distressed or demoralized, and should adopt the following tips. (TIPS) T – THINKING I – INVOLVEMENT P – PERSEVERANCE S – SINCERITY If the above TIPS do not work correctly to effect success, then it is better to take a retrial for another attempt, and even then you fail to get the expected result or success, still, you must cling to your self-confidence & determination with the firm faith in the omnipotent God. This shall strengthen your moral & mental will & spirit to be ultimately rewarded with success because the part failures act as pillars of your future success. Vital Point of Principles to Success This is another vital point upon failing to succeed in your aim, to be analytical to trace the causes of your failure or where & what has gone wrong that barred your success by self-introspection on the following points of your conscious inquiry and then act or plan to act properly with a positive mind & spirit. What more do you need to be surely successful in achieving your goal or target? For fostering a more positive construction or beneficial mindset or demeanor that might play more ensured success in your attempt and aim. In this case, you have to be stern to dispel or eliminate from your thought all the following negative virtues/attitudes and behavior from your habits and nature. SENSE OF INDIVIDUALITY AND PERSONALITY IS INEVITABLE NEED TO SUCCESS Individuality represents the ego as genetically limited and person/personality represents the ego as expanding beyond that genetic limitation. According to Vedanta, it is the first step in moral & spiritual growth, it rescues man from submergence in the collectivity and installs him or her on the throne of human freedom and dignity and is purely a human phenomenon for success. No animal can develop its individuality as it has no self-awareness or ego, so they are animals & remain as animals ending with death. In our country, from now on, students should be educated to steadily grow & turn from individuality to personality so that they know how to serve others, to find a place for others in their scheme of living and working in this phenomenal world as a true & humane personality. Humans must change themselves into persons of good attitude, of good words & works and behavior which shall lead them to success & greatness. TEMPERAMENT – Principles to Success Temper plays a very important role in all walks of life. We can say that the acceptance of a person in society, in the family, and the workplace is greatly affected by his temperament. A cool-headed person will be more acceptable in all walks of life. Everyone likes to come across or deal with a cool-headed person who can understand things in a much better way than a short-tempered person. It is noticed that a cool-headed person can handle situations in a much better way and are thus more successful in life. On the other hand, short-tempered persons are disliked, because due to loss of temper, they may sometimes fail to understand and consider a genuine problem, and as a result, lose popularity. This is one reason why everyone wants to work with more willingly and devotedly under a cool-headed person. Controlling of temper Being short-tempered in most cases will sooner or later bring about unpopularity, dislike, lack of willingness, submission, and devotion from subordinates and coworkers. In extreme cases, it may lead to rebellious non-cooperation. So man always should be in good control of his temper and ensure that he does not make rash decisions in a fit of anger. Various techniques have been discussed by psychologists to control this part of the personality, but most of them revolve around the basic principle of delaying a reaction, and by far it is the best technique because by not giving an immediate reaction, not only you can emerge from the fit of anger but also you can get time to give a second and a third thought to the
