The Young Chronicle: For 4th Graders January 9th, 2015 | Page 2

YOUNG CHRONICLE November 28th, 2014 THE YOUNG CHRONICLE The Young Journalist Come. Join Us! Our First Article by a Young Journalist, Aanvi Jain Modi recently claimed that progress is linked to science. What else do you think progress is linked to? Progress is only not linked to science it is a process that involves many inputs. Development of Science has been important, since man's survival is dependent on nature. In fact, one of the most important aspects of progress is linked to agriculture. Agriculture is important because even in a country like India, where agriculture is a big industry, many food items are imported and only 20 percent food is from India. Secondly, progress in science would lead to better medical aid. The number of hospitals will increase, and latest technology will be used to treat people. Also, a progress in Science will make medical aid cheaper. Here’s announcing The Young Journalist mentorship programme.

This advancement is helping us achieve a better standard of living. But, this advancement has side effects too. One of the side effects of science is the resultant pollutants: E.g. aerosols and cfcs. But science isn't the only thing we need to progress in. There are a number of other factors that lead to overall progress of a nation. Education is one of them. Education is important, because if people are educated, there will be more industries and less unemployment, less poverty, high standard of living, less religious clashes, and a better understanding amongst people. Moreover, investment in human skill development is equally, if not more important, than infrastructural development. The HRD deals with all aspects of human development whether they relate to poverty, gender discrimination, denial of human rights and liberty, impact of globalization and environmental concerns as these factors play very important role for the overall progress of the country. The other important aspect is Economic Development. Economic development is directly related to science and education, both. But here, we are talking about policy development that could help people monetarily in many ways, and would lead to further development of the above-mentioned factors. So it isn't only development in science that is important for the progress of a nation. Education and Skill development, and Economic Development are equally important too. All these factors together help in the progress of a nation. Aanvi Jain Grade 4
