With a broader objective of rejuvenating lakes and enhancing their ecosystem, the ‘Wake The Lake’ Campaign strives to improve water quality, eliminate pollutants, and revitalize the surrounding environment.

Spanning 38 acres, Bomenahalli Lake faces challenges from surrounding urbanization, including the potential influx of construction waste, litter, weeds, and the risk of domestic greywater infiltration.

The restoration activities will be undertaken in two phases from 2023 to 2025. The initial phase will focus on strengthening the waterbody’s infrastructure and improving the water holding capacity by cleaning the inlet and outlet, followed by the subsequent phase, which will involve planting 1000 indigenous saplings of fruit and flower-bearing trees, native shrubs and herbs, raising community awareness, conduct sensitization programs, and establish a lake association for the sustainability of the intervention. It is envisaged that the green initiative will contribute to the absorption of 21,000 kg of carbon dioxide and the annual production of 118,000 kg of oxygen, fostering a healthier environment for all.

The Panchayat will play a key role in fixing and fencing the lake boundary.

Rajesh Krishnan, CEO of United Way Bengaluru, expressed his enthusiasm for the initiative, stating, “This project embodies our commitment to revitalize water bodies and transform them into nurturing spaces for communities, as part of our flagship ‘Wake The Lake’ campaign. The rejuvenation of Bommenahalli Lake will enhance water storage capacity, positively impact community well-being, benefit local farmers and livestock and enrich the region’s biodiversity.”

Commenting on the occasion, Uday Prakash, Vice-President – Operations and Finance, Herbalife India said “As the water crisis looms over India, reviving our lakes is becoming increasingly important. The ‘Wake The Lake’ campaign is a progressive step towards contributing to National Water Mission by Ministry of Jal Shakti. We are committed to restoring and rejuvenating Bommenahalli Lake to promote sustainable water management practices and improve the lives of the local community. The success of the campaign will be a testament to Herbalife’s commitment and dedication to environmental conservation.”

New Delhi, 12th September 2023: Over the years, CBSE has revamped its exam structure to become more focused on testing competency and high-order thinking skills in students. This has been reflected in all the Board Papers in recent years.

To equip students better in preparing for these new and challenging typologies of Questions, for the last 2 years, CBSE has been providing ‘Additional Practice Questions’ on their official website for classes 10th & 12th along with Marking Scheme Answers. On 8th September, CBSE released the Additional Practice Question set for the 2023-24 academic session.

These questions, accompanied by marking scheme answers, are designed to align with the evolving exam structure and provide students with a deeper understanding of crucial concepts and typologies. This article delves into the details of these practice questions, their significance, and how they benefit students in their board exam preparation.

The style of questions in the practice set is the same as the new and revised Board Sample Papers released on 31st March & 7th August respectively. As per the official blueprint of the CBSE Sample Papers, 50% competency-based questions will be asked in the 2023-24 Exam (refer to the screenshot below)

The recently released set of Additional Practice Questions will give the students a greater insight into the most important concepts and typologies for the upcoming boards. Students will evaluate their understanding of different topics and identify areas where they need improvement. While these Practice questions are typically designed to mimic the format and difficulty level of actual board exams, the blueprint in the boards will be as per the Board sample Papers released earlier. With a wide universe of questions, the students will get a chance to be well-prepared for the Boards, reducing anxiety and boosting performance.

To further support students and provide them with 100% updated study material, Oswaal Books is proud to offer its curated Question Banks for both 10th and 12th grade with the Latest set of Additional Practice Questions, available on Amazon:

It’s important to note that there have been no changes in the Sample Question Paper Pattern provided by CBSE. Students can rely on these official resources to prepare effectively for their examinations.

Our carefully curated Question Banks and access to official Sample Question Papers aim to empower students with the tools they need to excel in their board exams.”

She also expressed her deep concern for the fake news being spread through paid articles, petty YouTube influencers, and unknown WhatsApp numbers stating that a new Sample Paper has been released by CBSE. These have been doing rounds with misleading headlines like “BAD NEWS, PATTERN CHANGED”. This kind of malicious news is instilling unnecessary fear among students and teachers alike.

The newly released set of Additional Practice Questions serves as a valuable resource for students preparing for the upcoming board exams. They offer students a deeper insight into crucial concepts and question typologies, enabling them to assess their understanding of various topics. These practice questions are meticulously designed to replicate the format and difficulty level of actual board exams, helping students become more familiar with the examination environment. Importantly, these questions align with the blueprint provided in the board’s Sample Papers, ensuring that students are well-prepared and less anxious about the board exams.

In addition to the CBSE’s official resources, Oswaal Books has stepped in to provide further support to students. Oswaal Books offers curated Question Banks for both 10th and 12th grades, incorporating the latest Additional Practice Questions. These resources are available on all e-commerce sites, making them easily accessible to students nationwide.
