1: Why do you think it is important to have places like parks, schools, hospitals and bus stops in your locality?
See AnswerThese places are important because they provide essential services and improve our quality of life. Schools educate children, hospitals provide healthcare, parks offer recreation and green spaces for everyone to enjoy and bus stops ensure transportation access. These places create shared spaces where community members can interact, learn, receive care and travel easily.

2: How would life be different if one or more of these places in your locality did not exist?
See AnswerLife would be more difficult and less convenient. Without schools, children would have to travel far for education. Without hospitals, people would struggle to get medical care during emergencies. Without parks, people would have fewer places for recreation and relaxation. Without bus stops, transportation would be limited, making it hard for people to commute to work or school. The community would be less connected and face more challenges in daily life.

3: What can you do to keep these places clean and safe?
See AnswerI can help keep these places clean and safe by:
1. Not littering and using trash bins properly.
2. Participating in community clean-up drives.

Discuss

1: It is important for communities to come together in times of need. What do you think about this statement?
See AnswerI think this statement is very true. When communities come together during challenging times, they can solve problems faster and more effectively than individuals working alone. The example of the villagers in Kanker building a bridge in just two days shows how cooperation can achieve remarkable results. Communities that support each other create stronger bonds, share resources efficiently and develop resilience to face future challenges. Working together allows people to combine their different skills and strengths.

2: Do people in your locality come together and support each other? Can you remember one such occasion?
See AnswerYes, people in my locality do come together to support each other. One memorable occasion was during last year’s heavy monsoon when several houses were affected by flooding. Community members organized temporary shelters in the school, collected food and clothing donations and formed teams to help clean up after the water receded. Everyone contributed what they could—some cooked meals, others provided transportation, and many helped with repairs. This collective effort helped affected families recover much faster than they could have on their own.

Think about your family or community. How do you work together to help each other while preparing for a festival or any other occasion?
…………………………………….
…………………………………….
…………………………………….
See AnswerIn my family and community, we work together during festivals by dividing responsibilities. For Diwali celebrations, some family members clean and decorate the house, while others prepare special foods and sweets. Older members often teach younger ones traditional practices and stories behind the festival. Neighbors exchange homemade sweets and visit each other’s homes. For community celebrations, people contribute according to their skills—some organize cultural programs, others handle decorations, and some manage food distribution. Everyone participates in the cleanup afterward. This cooperation makes the festivals more enjoyable while strengthening our bonds.

It leads to efficient use of resources and skills as people share what they have and know. Working together solves problems faster and more effectively than individual efforts. It creates a sense of belonging and pride in the community, reducing feelings of isolation. Cooperation also teaches important values to younger generations.
