Dear Sir

Subject: Invitation for presiding the Scholarship award function

I, the principal of XYZ College, on behalf of the staff and students would like you to be the chief guest for our scholarship award function on 15th October 2009 and will commence from 11am.

Our college admits students purely on the basis of merit. In order to fulfill this vision every year, we spend 4.2 crores on scholarships. These can be broadly classified into merit scholarships, rural scholarships and merit- cum - means scholarships. We would like you to inaugurate the function and welcome the students with your enlightening words on working towards success. We hope to receive an affirmative reply by 30th September 2009.

The other dignitary on the dais includes Dr Shiv Nadar, chairperson of the HCL technologies. It would be a dream come true if you could grace this occasion.

Yours faithfully
Signature
[Principal of XYZ College]

Paragraph writing - Conservation of water

Conservation of water is the need of the hour today. This is because the ever - increasing population has put an immense pressure on our life - sustaining water resources. As citizens of the world , we can , in our small way , contribute towards water conservation. Firstly, we can implement rain - water harvesting in all our homes. Also, waste water can be recycled by utilising it for small tasks like gardening. Then, closing of taps and showers and then repairing dripping taps will go a long way in this endeavour. In agriculture, efficient irrigation systems like drip irrigation and overhead irrigation can make a difference in both the yield and the water conservation. After that, recharge pits can be dug, which can capture rainwater and stop runoff. This will recharge ground water supply. On a global scale, trees can be planted. This measure will prevent water runoff. Also, it will help rainwater penetrate the soil. Another efficient measure is to use desalination techniques such as distillation, electro - dialysis and reverse - osmosis for purification of water. On a similar note, sewage water can be treated in certified sewage treatment plants for drinking purposes. Lastly, storage of water can also be done in a scientific manner. Doing so will enhance the efficiency of utilisation of harvested water. Let us join hands and conserve water. After all, small drops make an ocean.
