HISTORY"Land, then, is not merely soil; it is a fountain of energy flowing through a circuit of soils, plans, and animals." - Ibid. Topic: Ruling the Countryside. The month of July witnessed a look back on the British land settlement systems and the Blue Rebellion in India. The British colonial administration in India used systems like the Permanent Settlement, Ryotwari, and Mahalwari to control rural areas, which led to increased commercialization, heavy taxation, and economic strain on peasants. These historical practices highlight the challenges of rural governance. Modern rural administration focuses on decentralization, equitable agricultural reforms, and community involvement to address the needs of rural populations more effectively. Understanding these historical and contemporary approaches provides valuable insights into improving rural governance and support. CIVICS“Being a Humanist means trying to behave decently without expectation of rewards or punishment after you are dead.” ― Kurt Vonnegut Ch- Understanding Secularism As the chapter "Secular Vision of Indian Constitution" unfolded, the classroom transformed into a hub of understanding and exploration.

The exploration extended beyond semantics into the realm of rights and responsibilities. As the students examined fundamental rights, they understood the immense importance of these entitlements, which form the bedrock of citizen empowerment. They discovered that each right is paired with a corresponding responsibility, highlighting the maturity and balance in the Constitution's design. A special focus was placed on the six fundamental rights enshrined in the Constitution, sparking awareness and engagement among the students. These rights were not just words on a page but pillars supporting democracy and individual freedoms. Amid discussions of rights, the concept of fundamental duties emerged as a crucial element of citizenship. Students realized that while rights empower individuals, responsibilities strengthen society as a whole. The harmony between rights and duties painted a picture of a holistic citizenry contributing to the greater good.
