Points Discussed in the video are:

GD Topic: How can we curb Air Pollution?

• Government should promote the use of renewable sources of energy such as wind energy, hydro energy.

• Checking the carbonation in the industry, personal vehicles,

• Bringing change at individual level, national level and finally at global level

Focus of Developing versus Developed nations

• The prime focus of the developing nations like India would be on eradicating poverty, not on curbing pollution.

• We can take small steps such as plantation of trees to combat the increasing level of CO2

• Odd Even Scheme to curb pollution is another welcoming step

• Earth Summit: In Rio De Jenerio, 1992

Reasons of Pollution

• Increasing quantum of Garbage,

• Fuel emission from vehicles,

• People are rigid to adapt to the new laws and regulations

• Government  has not implemented the policies strictly

• System care takers such as Police is not bothered to penalize the law breakers

• Educated people act ignorantly and do not accept any new changes agreeably

Solution offered

• In India we need to spread awareness to ensure that even the common man adopts and adapts with the technology

• Follow the model of Tamil Nadu by putting efforts to introduce solar energy at the residential level

• Encourage increased use of Eco-friendly products such as cloth and jute bag

• Implement odd/even scheme systematically

Comments of the supervisor:

• At the initial stage, who-so-ever begins the topic must provide an overview of the topic, do not begin by expressing your opinion.

• After establishing a sound background, the participants can move on to express their views on the topic.

• When someone is speaking, as a part of group decorum, others are not supposed to interrupt in between.

• Participants in a GD must ensure that all of them participate collectively. They must not cut the discussion of other person to present their point.
