In 2017, We Would Like To Change...

There were many events in 2016 that shouldn't have happened like trains accidents that claimed a lot of lives, the aftermath of demonetisation on the aam aadmi and the award wapasi which became a trend. We asked celebrities from all walks of life about the change they would like to bring about in 2017. 


Celeb Speak 

If I can change something, I would change the mindset of people who always take things in a negative manner.  There are always two perspectives to one thing - why can't we look at the positive one for a change.  That could bring peace in this world. 
Sudha Murty, author 

If I could change something that would be the way we treat our women at work. Equal pay, heavy-duty  roles and script-backed roles for them.  It's high time our industry recognised women.
Mahesh Bhatt, filmmaker 

I think 2016 saw many good things happen,  student uprisings being one of them. If I could change something,  I would like to get into the minds of people who speak without knowing facts and change their way of looking at things.  
Nandita Das, actor 

I am ashamed of the fact that women are still unsafe in India. Society has done little to ensure their well-being. I would like to do something for this cause and I know active participation is what matters, so I will get up and there and voice my dissent.  That's my resolution for 2017. 
Vir Das, stand-up comedian and actor 

I would like to see more funds dedicated to sports in our country that has many talented athletes. There is so much talent in the offing, we need to hone each one of them.  
Aamir Khan, actor 


TOI student reporters tell us they want to be agents of change in 2017. What is it that they would like to change? 

I would love to change certain things in our syllabus which I think are redundant. With time,  subjects need some overhaul and our Board should look into it. 
Radhika Agarwal,  class XI,  Delhi Public School

I would like to change some subjects in our school and replace it with yoga. Physical exercise is much more important than lectures. It is a lifelong knowledge and skill that we need to begin at the school level. 
Aditi Roy,  class XII,  Amity International School 

I would like to change our canteen food and lift the ban on non-veg items being served there. I love my food but there is hardly anything nice to eat at school and I am forced to carry tiffin everyday. I am all for eating healthy, but can we have more options please.  
Dhairya Chauhan, class VIII

I would like to change my parents mentality towards extra curriculars. They attach a lot of importance to grades still and that gives me a lot of stress.  Am very good in music but they don't seem to give it any weightage. 
Ritika Ghosal,  class IX,  SMBN, Kolkata

If I could change something, it would be gender stereotyping, especially in schools. I can still see more preference given to boy students. So, I would like to change people's attitude towards the girl child. We are capable of much more than one can ever comprehend.  
Shruti Singh,  class X,  Silver Oak

I would like to change the mindset of few people who still believe that a boy child is better than girl child. Even though many laws have been passed regarding dowry,it still exists in many parts of southern Asia. I would like to erase this dowry system from the core . This is the main reason ,why a girl child is considered as a burden.

A brainchild of The Times of India, the world’s leading English newspapers, Times NIE nurtures progress and innovation. Adapted from the international concept, Times Newspaper in Education program (Times NIE) was initiated in India in 1985.

Today we have over 3000 schools and over 9 lac students subscribing to the programme, spanning 16 cities viz. Delhi, Mumbai, Pune, Bangalore, Kolkata, Chennai, Hyderabad, Ahmedabad, Kochi, Lucknow, Coimbatore, Chandigarh, Dehradun, Vijayawada, Visakhapatnam, and Jaipur.

On a significant scale Times NIE comprises diverse interesting activities and events that boost the child’s passion for learning, while revealing hidden talent.

While you are aware that The Times of India is among the leading English Newspapers across the world, it has consummated its position as an everlasting winner. With several international awards and recognitions to its credit, The Times of India and Times NIE have validated an enduring tradition of setting the highest benchmarks in every respect. We have been awarded with the two most prestigious awards, Times NIE - World’s No.1 NIE program and The Times of India, Student Edition - World’s No.1 Newspaper for the youth in 2006 by the celebrated World Association of Newspapers (WAN).
