On 26th August at 1:25 p.m we the students of grade 8 and 10 were taken to Phewa hall for a parent's talk program, in which Mr. Drona Pokhrel the parents of Drabisha Pokhrel from grade I spoke about “ Insurance”. He is the manager of an insurance company.
In the program, he explained to us what actual insurance is, it's types and it's beneficial. He also asked us to run insurance on any property or items that we bought like bikes, cars, scooters, we can even insurance on the property. The types of insurance are: marine, property, aviation, health, etc are the types of insurance.
On 26th August,2019 we had a parent’s talk program in our school which was held in Phewa hall. The speaker’s name was Drona Pokhrel who was the manager of an insurance company located at Chabahil. I think he was a very experienced person in terms of insurance-related information. He also gave many real-life examples in a funny way which I found interesting. We had only one period for this program, so he had many things to share with us but due to time limitations, he couldn't share as much as he could. We enjoyed this parent’s talk program.
On November 11th, we were taken to the Metropolitan traffic police division. To be honest, I was quite excited to visit there. I had never been there before. I always wondered about how it would be like to be in a place like that. I know it now, it is quite interesting and informative.
At first, we lined up and were taken to the control room and what was it like you may ask. The first glimpse of it was unbelievable. They had a wall full of TV monitoring different CCTV footage of Kathmandu valley and more. One friendly police officer began to explain the working process of that room and he also answered some of our questions clearing all of our doubts. Once we were done with that room, we proceeded to the other one. That room had plenty of people already who were totally unknown to us. After watching a video, we were out of there as we didn't have much time to watch the video. Then we were taken to the room which had students from another school. They showed a couple of videos to us which were completely related to traffic rules and regulations. Then, we were taken to the other side of the building. I wasn't expecting to come across a recording studio there. They had their own radio line too. When we were done with that building, we took a group photo with some traffic officers. So, this was the end of our field trip and we came back to school.
The school took us to a field visit to Metropolitan Traffic Control (103) at Putalisadak. We went there by bus. First, we went to the control room where the calls of (103) were received. There were live CCTV footage of the main roads of Kathmandu. I recognized some of the places shown in the monitors. We got information on how the traffic is controlled around the Kathmandu valley and how vehicles are recognized. In case of robbery, accidents and other cases on the road, this technology is very helpful. We also went to the class where the people who violated the rules were taught about the traffic rules. The people were given tickets for Ma.Pa.se and who did not follow the lane rules. We also watched some videos about traffic rules in Nepal. We also went to the news editing room and the room where podcasts and talk shows were streamed.
I would like to thank the school and the Traffic Police Division for giving us an opportunity to witness the traffic control system of Nepal.
Some of the rules that I learned from the visit were:
1.) We should wear a helmet while riding a bike.
2.) We should always wear a seatbelt while driving.
3.) We should always walk on footpaths.
4.) We should cross the roads by the zebra crossing, and sky bridge.
5.) We should follow the traffic signs like no parking, no overtaking, no stopping, etc.
6.) We should stay in our lane while driving or riding.
7.) We should follow the speed limits.
8.) We should not use mobile phones while driving or riding.
9.) We should not drink and drive.
Parent’s talk program was hosted by Sifal School on 27th August 2019. The program was quite interesting and entertaining. One of the parents from lower school, Drona Pokhrel, talked about the insurance policy and all. He talked about how insurance was started, what was the thing that got people to rethink their buying and selling procedure and all. It was quite a roller coaster ride while listening to him.
He also talked about how beneficial it is considering the insurance plans. It all just got interesting when he talked about non-life and life insurance.
All in all, the program was a great help for us. It made us clear about how easy and efficient it is to get ourselves an insurance plan.
“You are you and no one else.” Your life is the result of choices you make if you don’t like it start making better choices.
Life is like a road. There are long roads, short roads, smooth roads, and rocky roads. It’s all your decision which road you want to travel to. Believing in yourself and making the right choices or decisions leads to your future. Right choices and decisions lead you to a bright future whereas bad decisions can lead you to a poor future. It’s all in your hand how you shape it. It is all in your hand to shape it. Believing in yourself and having self-confidence can make you a successful person.
Believing in yourself is being yourself. There may be ups and downs and people barking at you. Tolerate them and move on. There may be lots of thorns but dream about the soft petals and achieve your goal. Once you become yourself and show the world what an amazing person you are the barking from the people turns into best wishes.
So, love yourself and be yourself and love yourself as a bright light for tomorrow’s dark night.
Monday 11th Nov. we were taken to the education tour on Metropolitan Police Division. I totally forgot that we were going. So when I came to school I was shocked to know that we were going to the traffic police’s office. So, I went to school at the usual time Mazina ma'am took our attendance and we departed at 9:40 am. When we reached the destination we were taken to a room where the CC camera of the main roads was. There were more than 100 CC cameras. So we were shocked! The traffic police explained to us all the rules and showed us a video related to that. Then at 12:50, we arrived at school. It was a very fantastic and informative trip. The informative trip means that I know many traffic rules in Nepal. I know how accidents occur and what its measures to control it are. The major rules of traffic are to wear the seat belt while driving, to follow the traffic light, etc. I am so blessed that I know these rules of traffic in Nepal at this small age. I also knew what is the major punishment for not following the rules at the traffic. In this way, it was an interesting trip.
On 25th Kartik,2076 at 10:30 am we headed out from our school to Bhrikutimandap’s traffic police division for educational reasons and we were greeted by some of the respected police officers. Then we were given a brief explanation about what they did and then we were led to their control room where they are connected to the camera of certain areas within Kathmandu, Lalitpur, and Bhaktapur. Then we were led to the educational room where the people who had broken the law have to attend the class where they showed the consequences of breaking the law, later we were sent to a room where we saw a bunch of videos to teach us about the rules and regulations some of them were explained to us and some were shown to us in video which were: *Wear your seatbelt *Always use zebra crossing *Don’t drink and drive *Do not text nor call and drive So after all that we were led to another room with the students from another school and the officers told us about why they do what they do and some of the volunteers to give a speech and they told us about their experiences and told us about the respect we should give to the officers that protect us even in day and night. So after that, we got back on the bus and went to school after learning a lot.
Our school in collaboration with Metropolitan Police took the students of grade 8 and 9 In the metropolitan police office located at Ranipokhari, Kathmandu.
As we arrived there DSP Govinda Raj Kafle started the program with a formal talk. After the talk with Mr. Govinda Raj Kafle, we were taken to the CCTV and the control center of the police department. They showed us how many main chowks and cities have been covered with CCTV and CRV (control room vehicle). We were also instructed by the police officers about dialing 100 in case of emergencies. We were also shown some technical department of the police. After this visit the technical department DIG Sailash Thapa Kshetri made us aware of different topics related to our safety as well as others’ safety. We got to learn many things from his personal experiences.
This visit was fruitful and interesting.
We started our journey from our school to the Metropolitan Police Office at 9:30 am. We reached our destination at around 9:45 am. This was the biggest office of Kathmandu valley. That program was hosted by DSP Govinda Raj Kafle and DIG Shailesh Thapa. We also visited the control room where we saw CCTV footage of different areas. They showed us the demo of a road accident. We requested them to show us real accidents also. We saw two accidents which were very dangerous. The program was conducted into two sections. First DSP Govinda Raj Kafle gave us knowledge about cyber-crime and other crimes. He showed us the video also what safety measures could be taken but it was not too interesting. In the second half, DIG Sailesh Thapa's talk was very interesting. He told us about his own life. We returned to school, we reached school at 1:15 pm and we ate lunch and we attended our regular class.
The metropolitan police office is located at Ranipokhari, Kathmandu. It controls 3 districts : Kathmandu, Bhaktapur, and Lalitpur. Firstly when we got there, the DSP Govinda Raj Kafle gave us some information about the metropolitan police office. He said that the role of the police is to monitor accidents, to reduce crime, to help during disasters. Their work is also to aware people about many things. He also told us about CRV. The whole office was under the supervision of DIG Shailesh Thapa. He said that he has been working in that field for 27 years.
