Discuss (Page 5)

Question 1.
Why do you think it is important to have places like parks, schools, hospitals, and bus stops in your locality?
Answer:
These places are essential because they serve the community’s needs:

• Parks provide space for recreation, exercise and social interaction.
• Schools provide education to children and prepare them for the future.
• Hospitals offer medical care and ensure public health.
• Bus stops enable transportation, connecting people to work, schools and other services.

Question 2.
How would life be different if one or more of these places in your locality did not exist?
Answer:
Life would become difficult if these places in our locality did not exist, as:

• without parks, people would lack open spaces for play and relaxation.
• without schools, children would miss education and social development.
• without hospitals, treating illnesses or emergencies would be harder.
• without bus stops, commuting would be more difficult leading to greater isolation of communities.

Question 3.
What can you do to keep these places clean and safe?
Answer:
To keep these places clean and safe we should avoid littering and use trash bins.

• Participate in cleanliness drives (like Swachh Bharat Abhiyan).
• Report broken equipment or hazards to concerned authorities.
• Educate others about respecting public spaces.

Question 1.
It is important for communities to come together in times of need. What do you think about this statement?
Answer:
This statement is true because:

• Collective effort solves problems faster (e.g., building the bamboo bridge in Kanker).
• Sharing resources (skills, materials) reduce individual burdens.
• Strengthens bonds and creates a sense of unity.

Question 2.
Do people in your locality come together and support each other? Can you remember one such occasion?
Answer:
Yes, in my opinion people should come together in their locality in times of need. Coming together strengthens support, boosts morale, and helps communities overcome challenges more effectively.
