Answer:    Honorable Judges, worthy opponents and my dear friends,
I strongly feel that the best minds are required in the teaching profession.

There is a dire need to increase literacy in India today. The root cause of India's backwardness is illiteracy. It is due to illiteracy that we are facing or having or faced with or confronted with problems of population explosion and high levels of poverty and unemployment. We can rid our society of various social evils like child labour and low status of women only through the spread of education. People who are educated in the right sense will understand their rights and duties, elect good leaders and help in nation building.

But literacy levels can be increased only if the best minds - intelligent, ethical and creative are drawn to the teaching profession through suitable incentives.

Thank you

Answer:    Power stations and factories are usually powered by coal, oil or natural gas. When these fossil fuels burn, they release or emit sulphur dioxide and nitrogen dioxide. Nitrogen oxide is also present in the exhaust emissions of cars. These oxides rise up into the atmosphere, react with the water vapour present there, form acids giving rise to clouds of high acidity. When acid rain falls on the soil, it releases toxic metals that poison the root systems of trees. Acid rain also increases the metal content in lakes leading to the death of fish and other aquatic life. In towns, it causes erosion and damage to buildings. If unchecked, it will result in the destruction of life on earth.
