Key Message for Students
"Light helps us see, sound helps us hear, and force helps us move things. These are important parts of our everyday life. We should use light wisely, avoid loud noise, and use force safely."
"प्रकाश हमें देखने में, ध्वनि हमें सुनने में और बल वस्तुओं को चलाने में सहायता करता है। ये हमारे दैनिक जीवन के महत्वपूर्ण भाग हैं। हमें प्रकाश का सही उपयोग करना चाहिए, तेज़ आवाज़ से बचना चाहिए और बल का सुरक्षित उपयोग करना चाहिए।"
