Yuvi’s princely show gives India 2-0 lead

India Win the second ODI against England today. I like to congratulate Indian cricket team as well as all my country people. Yuvraj Singh was outstanding today. He made his century this match also and took 4 wickets of England.

 

Yuvraj Singh clobbered his second successive century and then scalped four key wickets as India maintained their stranglehold over England by thrashing the visitors by 54 runs in the second One-dayer on Monday. Yuvraj Singh blasted his second consecutive century and grabbed four wickets to guide India to a comfortable 54-run win over England today in the second one-day international.

The Indians rode on Yuvraj’s scintillating 118 to post a competitive 292 for nine and then bundled out England for 238 in 47 overs to take a 2-0 lead in the seven-match series. England collapsed to 238 all out after Yuvraj ended a 96-run second-wicket partnership by removing Owais Shah (58) and Matt Prior (38) in successive overs before returning 4-28 bowling slow left-arm spin on a sluggish pitch.

He proved his ability as a left-arm spinner by returning dream figures of 10-0-28-4 which included the prized scalps of Andrew Flintoff, Kevin Pietersen and Owais Shah. The Punjab swashbuckler stitched 134 runs for the fourth wicket with the in-form Gautam Gambhir (70) while the lanky Yousuf Pathan provided the late sparks to the innings with an savage unbeaten 50 off just 29 balls.

A programme that teaches teachers

Good morning friends.  I’m really thankful to our government  to have this programme for the teachers.  This will help them a lot and we know that our children will  benefit  on that.

Opportunities for learning exist everywhere. CEE Ahmedabad has been conducting Green Teacher Programme which offers teachers an opportunity to empower themselves with knowledge and skills for effective transaction of concepts in environmental development in the classroom. 

 Teachers undergoing this programme are from various schools of the city. “The training programmes have been designed in two contact sessions to enhance knowledge, understanding and skills with regard to environment education and sustainable development,” says Shivani Jain, cordinator of the programme.

The second contact session began on Friday, Children’s Day. CEE also organised quiz competitions for kids. The idea behind weaving the programme was to facilitate teachers to introduce these themes in a graded manner in school.

“The package is based on environmental issues and are best taught and learnt by experienced teachers and educators, through activities given to them during the course,” says a program officer.

The program is designed in such a manner that it can be taught easily in schools because children are the best ambassadors for a green future. Even small actions can make a huge difference towards improving and protecting the environment.
