Patriotism is the love of one's country.It is a divine spark in the human breast.It teaches a man to love his own native land more than anything else.A patriot thinks no sacrifice too great for his country;he is even prepared to die for his motherland.


Patriotism is a real virtue.The Sanskrit proverb says that your mother and motherland are greater even than heaven.In our country's distress or danger we should be ready to stand by her,to work for her,to lay down our lives for her if needed.Has she not nursed us on her lap,nourished us of her plenty and sheltered us in her warmth?Not to love one's country is ingratitude indeed.



A bigoted patriotism is a perpetual reason of war.and this patriotism grows whenever there is war.Therefore the wise Chinese  philosopher Lao Tze,called it is a bad and harmful feeling and 'a stupid   doctrine'.World war 2 began with Hitler's boastful and aggressive patriotism.All war are born of similar sentiments.George Washington,than whom there cannot be a great patriot.Once wrote to a friend ,"A great and lasting war can never be supported on this principle alone".Bernard Shaw said,"You  will not have a quiet war till you knock this patriotism out of the human race".



Patriotism often makes us unjust,unfair and ungenerous in our estimate of other people.Every nation,every race has something definite and distinctive to contribute to the cultural heritage of world.It is foolish to say that anyone nation has all monopoly of god's good gifts.There was a time when our leader spoke of India's mission of spiritualising the world and the sentiment was applauded because it appealed to the patriot in each one of us.But all missionary zeal that draws its inspiration from national self love is wrong.No nation has a monopoly of the virtue.Patriotism must be sobered by a proper respect for other people's culture.



Above all,whenever we are ready to launch forth in a career of national proud,let us not forget Edith Cavell's wise words:"I should not have  hatred or bitterness toward no one".That is what Mahatma Gandhi announced from behind the bars.Patriotism is good,but it is not supersede the feeling of universal love  for all humanity.It should develop our mind to the growing concept of "One world".



The fact is that we often mix up patriotism with mere nationalism.If we could keep this distinction clear,patriotism will never mislead us into vain glorious boastfulness.A writer once told that the while"patriotism was lively sense of collective responsibility,nationalism was a silly cock crowing on its own dunghill".Nationalism is a kind of geographical parochialism that shuts the door on the rest of mankind.We know the brand and should keep clear its evils.



Patriotism does not lie in thinking that own's country is the best.We must love our own country,but we must not hate any country or people.The true patriot must respect other countries because he respects his own.He should be ready to learn from them,to help them,to co-operate with them.Then gradually patriotism will be superseded by the cult of universal brotherhood.

The value of sports is now being increasingly recognized in NEPAL from due to its value throughout the world.
Games and sports are essential for all round development of a personality because these helps in physical development and fitness.It is by playing games and sports that we can develop and maintain our health.Many of modern diseases like hypertension,blood pressure,diabetes,piles,obesity,indigestion etc are because of modern comforts and conveniences resulting in lack of  proper exercises and outdoor physical activities like games and sports.And it is only in a sound body that a sound mind resides.Absence of games have also resulted in many mental ailments and sleeplessness.



Games keep our body strong ,active,healthy and energetic.In activities like games and sports the blood circulation increases and there is plenty of supply of oxygen.Only a healthy person can work long ,hard and cheerfully.A weak person never take as much interest in work as does the healthy one.Health can be maintain by taking some exercises alone at home or in some suitable place like park,bank of river etc.but games and sports have some additional benefits as they are played in group and in healthy competitive spirit.Among many other things,they develop co-ordination,leading quality,team spirit and a activeness to submit to and further the rule of law.Games install spirit of self reliance,justice,fair play and sporting spirit in the player.They make people fearless,adventurous,social,disciplined and more cautious of responsibilities toward community and country.Players have been found  fighting superstitions,obscurantism and narrow approach to issues of national interest.




There cannot be a better training place than a playground for our young men and women preparing to enter the fray and combat of life.It is not success,failure or the length of life that is significant but what is most important is the quality of life,the way,the spirit in which it has been spent.




Games and sport develop character ,give health which are quite essential  for improving the quality of life,acquiring wealth and success.It is because of these reasons that our government and educational institutes have become so sports conscious and greater funds are being allotted for sports,games and promotion of adventure.Sports in NEPAL is a district subject but the center helps the district by rendering financial assistance and laying down guidelines for sports as compulsory subject.Co-operate and private sector should also come forward to help and promote games and sports.A beginning has been now made in the sense that many national sports events are now being sponsored  by some well known business house,firms,companies and establishments.Encouragement of sports and games is also desirable as it helps in decreasing the general incidence of crimes.The business and co-operate bodies should spend a percentage of their income not only in sponsoring national sports event but also in providing playing field,equipment and other facilities necessary of the promotion of games and sports.

Student life is the most memorable part of one's life.
When a child grows up,he or she is sent to school for education.If anyone wants to go up to the university,one must spend at least 16 or 17 years of student life right from the infant class.And that is not a small period in human life.A student goes  to school or college in  acquire knowledge.But knowledge is not  merely a bookish affair.It should be practical and realistic too.

When a student life is over,a young or woman has to discharge some duties to the family and the society.So student life is the best training ground for a man.A student learns in school or college the virtues of a corporate life.When the classes go on the student have to remain silent and listen to what  the teachers say.If they talk laugh or disturb the class,they are taken to task.So, in a class student learns the virtue of discipline.Outside the class too,the students have to observe the discipline.They are not to fight or to insult anyone.In this way,they acquire the sense of discipline.The student have to learn how to obey the teachers. They have to pay respect to elders and obey the commands of the seniors.If on the contrary,they dis obey the teachers,they are punish with fines or expulsion.So obedience is another virtue learns  in student life.there is also an element of punctuality in school or colleges.When the bell rings,the teacher enters the class.Each class begins just on time.The students are require to come to the class punctually.thus they learn the virtue of punctuality.


Student life offers valuable training in others fields too.Students get the opportunities to play football,cricket,hockey,volleyball and other games.Thus they can become champion athletes and sportsmen of the country.Regular outdoors games make them healthy in body and mind.Sports teach some good lessons.While at play,the student learn the value of teamwork,promptness and a healthy outlook.Sports help to build not only sound body but also a sound mind.


There are also debating and literary societies and magazines in schools and colleges.The student take part in debates.Thus they become keen and sharp in their observations and learn how to talk and behave in the bigger world.Many students write essays and poems in the magazines.It is seen that many of these young writers develop into great literary men of the country.


Moreover,student life is a period of joy and merriment.The students do not have to shoulder any burden.They are helped and guided by their parents.so this is a period of great freedom for them.No cares and anxieties of domestic life could their minds.they have therefore open mind.They are receptive to various influences.their mind are impressionable.So all the good qualities can be impressed on their mind at this age.


Students life has its pitfalls too.If students take to evil ways,they are ruined.If they start smoking,looking bad movies and slipping out of classes,their future becomes doomed.these unhealthy practices are fatal.the teacher and parents should be vigilant towards young boys at this time.


Students should not be allowed to develop narrow ideas and political views.Politics is very harmful for a young and premature mind.So students should be kept away from all political influences.The best virtues should be inculcated in them.Student life is the most important period in a man's life.

Adult are grown-up people.Adult education means educating those adults who are uneducated.
In some countries,adult education is needed because education is compulsory and everybody is educated.In some countries,there is need for adult education because the majority of people are uneducated.In Nepal,many people are uneducated because education is not compulsory in our country.


Country's development depends upon the number of skilled people present in that country. Only the skilled one can do some constructive work for the nation.If they lack skill then they cannot help in country's development. Instead of that they are mislead by some greedy people for their own benefit.



Nepal is a country of peasants.The prosperity of our country depends upon the prosperity of our peasants.The peasants of our country are illiterate and ignorant.They follow the traditional method of agriculture.They do not know the improved method of agriculture.The production of field is low.They do not use improved method of cultivation and new types of seeds and manure.They cannot markets their products at a good profit.They do not know the importance of co-operative societies and banks.They do not know the importance of sanitation and health.Their houses and compounds are dirty.We cannot expect to improve the condition of the peasants without educating them.



If the adults are educated,they will educate their children,and education will spread in the country.Nowadays,only a small number of the children go to schools.the majority of children stay at home and help their parents at work.Such children will grow up into ignorant and illiterate person like their parents.If the parents are educated,then only education will spread in our country,and we can have a program of compulsory education for all children.



To educate the adults,His Majesty's Government has started literacy classes and adult schools. Such school must be free.The adults should be given some facilities.They should get free supply of book and other materials.They should be given prizes and other facilities.Without such facilities, we cannot attract the adults to the schools.There should be short courses for the adults.They cannot be expected to devote a long period of time to education.There should be libraries and reading rooms for the adults when they finish the short courses.If the adults who are literate are left without reading facilities,they will soon forget what they have learned.

Every village council should have a program of adult education.Class organization,welfare societies,schools and campuses also should help in this matter.The ministry of education of His Majesty's Government has a Section of Adults Education to guide and help them.This section has been doing valuable work for the spread of adult education.
