Internships provide a window of opportunity to those looking for hands-on experience to enhance their relevant knowledge and skills required for a particular career field. Short term in nature, Internship is all about applying the theoretical knowledge of the classroom into the real world. Usually, a supervisor assigns specific tasks and does the evaluation of the allotted work. These intern programmes are proving to be very beneficial to every organization. Below are the five benefits of having an internship program in your organization:

1. Streamlining of recruitment drive
Through intern program a company can search a better qualified candidate who is most suitable for the job. Interns give reviews about the intern program and they can refer qualified candidates for the company. These interns can be hired for full time employment if they have proved their worth for the company. Moreover, a company can judge their strength and weakness efficiently which is not very apparent in their resume.

2. Cultivating the crop of tomorrow's Manpower.
By hiring the interns a company is not only providing benefits to itself, infact it is also providing support and skills to the students through employment and training. To put in other way, the company is paying back to the society.

3. Learning with the Interns
It is not that only Interns are getting the opportunity to learn and grow but as a fact of the matter you will also learn while teaching them and answering their queries about organisation, technology and workforce etc. To be a able mentor or teacher employees need to be equipped with required knowledge and skills in order to answer their queries.

4. Widening of the Horizons
Younger generation (or shall I say digital generation) is equipped with modern technology, connected with social media and plugged with digital devices to accomplish their task quickly and efficiently. Learning never ends, therefore, the employees should not shy from learning while teaming up with interns in order to produce innovative products and services for the company.

5. Saving on the Cost
Company can save on its costs and resources while extending this wonderful opportunity i.e., internship to interns who are ready to take on the world. Generally, a company spends a lot on its employees in terms of salaries, allowances, pensions, packages etc. but in case of interns they just need to provide the relevant exposure to the interns who in turn provide their knowledge and innovative ideas to the company. It is a win-win situation for both parties.

Achievement of extremely good economic growth is a dream of all the nations across the world. This is the way, through which one nation can prosper in all aspects. However, it has been seen several times that in the course of economic growth, one thing is terribly hampered and misaligned, and that is economic development. Evidences can be found from history that while achieving economic growth, sustainable development came as the price. There are several poor sides of any economic growth, and those can be stated as per the following:

• Sustainable development contains three pillars, namely economic, environmental and social development. Inability to fulfill any of these three aspects can make the sustainable development objectives void. If the economic growth pattern of any nation is being looked at, then it can be seen that the growth is being attained by continuous consumption of natural resources. This has two side effects. First, the balance of natural resources is going down rapidly, and second, due to combustion of these resources, the emission level in the environment is rising. In this process, the environmental sustainability is compromised to a great extent.
  
  
• As the economic growth of the nations is majorly driven by consumption of several natural resources, economists around the world are afraid that this growth cannot be sustained for a longer period. As soon as the pool of resources will be exhausted, the growth may come to a screeching halt. In order to sustain the economic growth, nations have to look for alternate sources of energy, which may be in the form of bio-fuel, renewable energy, nuclear energy etc. If the alternate sources of energy cannot be located, then the economic sustainability aspects can also be compromised to a great extent.
  
  
• While traversing along the growth trajectory, it has to be observed that whether the wealth is being distributed among all the segments of the population, or not. In most of the cases, the wealth distribution is not equal, and that is the reason behind the rise in income inequality in the nations. While attaining the rapid economic growth, fair distribution of income takes a back seat for the policy makers, and they try to exploit their labor force to get the maximum out of them, without compensating them in accordance with the industry standard. As a result, their living standard, hygienic state, and in turn efficiency is affected. This compromises the social sustainability aspects.

Water conservation is one of the essential steps that should be taken for wellbeing of human life. Each and every person should try to conserve water as it is the best life sustaining resource. Below are some tips for water conservation that are very beneficial for human survival-

• One can reduce water consumption by washing clothes in full load. 
  
• Place shallow bucket in sink to collect unused water.
  
• Make sure that all the taps, water sprinklers, showers, etc. are in working condition. Even if there is any small leakage,  fix it immediately.
  

By putting the above water conservation tips, one can ensure a clean life for future generation.

There are a number of credit management agencies that focus on managing the needs of consumers. These agencies provide safe, secured and long term solutions to the consumers who wish to have  a debt free future.  Credit laws are incorporated to protect consumers by helping them in consolidating their debt, arranging things, setting up repayment plans and many more. To have a valid claim on your consumer rights, the consumer should purchase a product for personal and not commercial use. The statutory rights are provided by the civil law, which is the best consumer protection law. Consumers are able to make a civil crime if the product fails to work properly.

The world Chocolate foundation insists that there are only around 5 – 6 million cocoa farmers in the World. However, truly the numbers of people who are dependent upon the production of cocoa for survival are not less than 40-50 million.   By the purchase of fair trade chocolate, a consumer contributes significantly by helping the poor farmer to earn enough to support his family and educate his children for a brighter future. TransFair USA has the rights to certify products in the United States of America. In the rest of the world, Fair Trade International does the work. The certification process of fair trade is certainly expensive and has its own issues, but that does not dilute the fact that it is a step in the right direction.

All people have a different relationship with chocolate. The feeling and the favourites have a lot of element of subjectivity in it. The chocolate lovers have a reason to not just defend their own preference but also to convert others into liking the brown thing. It is a step towards increasing one’s passion towards the environment, eradication if poverty, equality for all, green living, sustainability in agriculture   and more. In some or the other way, they all are attached to the cocoa tree. If all this is not enough links to cocoa, the changes in the climatic conditions are also impacting cocoa production,

The mushrooming ethical chocolate industry has persuaded many of the big names in the industry climb the bandwagon. The famous and trendsetting Dairy Milk chocolate by Cadbury was made fair trade certified in the year 2009. Competition further pestered Nestle to follow suit and Maltesers from Mars’ to move forward and gain the same certification. They all now carry their own fair trade logo. It does the task of serving as a reassuring label for the consumers. It imposes the fact that all the poor third world farmers involved in the production of cocoa beans have earned a good deal on their output. However, what shows may not be the true story completely. With all the logos in place, it is possible that all the above mentioned chocolates may not have any cocoa beans whatsoever. It so happens because the manufacturers have the liberty to mix up their fair trade beans with the other ones from the nontrade sources and still has the rights to label their product as fair trade certified.

With no guarantee to take care of your contribution by consuming fair trade certified products, can this be termed as “misleading the consumers” 

Whatever its origin, groundwater spends a long time in an aquifer. It has time to dissolve minute quantities of minerals which can give it definite characteristics such as hardness or taste. It is often bottled and sold as mineral water. Groundwater is useful in many ways. It sustains the flow of rivers from which we take water for drinking and many industrial uses. And by sinking a well or borehole into an aquifer, groundwater can be pumped to the surface. The borehole can often be sited precisely where the water is needed-in a village or factory compound, for example- so avoiding the need for expensive water mains.

Rather than operate a borehole pump whenever water is needed, the usual arrangement is to pump water from the borehole at regular intervals to a tank or distribution reservoir on high ground or on top of a water tower. From here the water can flow by gravity to wherever it is needed. A distribution reservoir holds enough water to supply the area it serves for about a day.

Pumping water from an aquifer lowers the water table. This may reduce or stop the natural overflow from the aquifer, causing springs or small streams to dry up. At some places pumping from wells reduces the natural outflow. Some streams on chalk flow less than they used to do; in part this is the result of abstraction. People must decide which they value most-a cheap supply of water or preserving the countryside exactly as it was.

But some changes are blamed unfairly on abstraction. Earlier when there was still little pumping from the Chalk aquifer, water levels were low; low rainfall was the cause then. Although pumping out water can bring problems if aquifers do not have a chance to recharge, groundwater is such an enormous resource that it would be unthinkable to stop using it. But there is the cost of alternatives. On cannot simply build, nor afford to build enough reservoirs to replace the aquifers. Reservoirs provide a relatively small supply of water and they are expensive to build, but relatively easy to understand. Aquifers hold enormous amount of water but money has to be raised t build them up. In the light of increasing concern about the global warming it is better to have more understanding of water
