  • Essay on Festivals

    Posted by Isha Singha on October 31, 2022 at 9:08 AM

    In many countries, governments spend a
    lot of money celebrating national holidays and festivals. However, some
    people think that spending money on these celebrations is a waste. To
    what extent do you agree or disagree with this view?

    In majority of the countries, Administration contributes tax payers money for the religious and national holidays, it is often argued that this is just the waste of financial wealth. I completely disagree with this opinion and thinks that this financial support from the government helps in our economy.

    In today’s world cutting edge era, people are busy in the hustle-bustle of their life; they may tend to forget our historical roots and culture which can lead to the extinction of this heritage for our grandsons. Attention paid towards this concern by the authorities is appreciable. These official holidays gives time for social gatherings, family meet ups and gives leisure time for the calibration of festivals which then triggers a overall happy society.

    This not only helps socially but also contributes economically to our country. This expenditure circulates to our economy resulting in the economical boost, extra revenue for online stores and even more earnings for the local shop owners giving extra cash for their family, generating so many new employments for unemployed poor people in this festival time. For example, a research done by students of IIT Kanpur states that in month of may, which has maximum number of festival, poverty rate decreases drastically, and helps in India’s GDP.

    To conclude, expenditure done by the officials is contributing directly to our economic welfare of the society and helps to preserve our heritage and culture for future generations.

    It is always argued that the countries spend a huge part of funds in celebrating national holidays and festivals. It is agreed that the governments should plan investing the same money in education and sports. This will help a country in growth and development.

    The money spent during the festivals is misused by the people in many ways. They utilise this money to create chaos at public places. It doesn’t add value to that celebration in terms of understanding the purpose of that particular festival. Also, people just enjoy the event in

    Definitely it is a waste of money as there are many others ways to invest the money collected as funds, taxes etc. Like that can be utilised in organising workshops for people to teach them about hygiene, traffic rules to teenagers, art shows where people of any age come and display their work. This will help overall development of a country and motivate the whole community to be together.

    Lastly, I must say that it is in hands of high authorities of a country to spend funds/money wisely that add to support people in their education, growth and health sector rather than celebrating occasions by just distributing something that give relief and happiness for a short while but has no impact on the society in longterm.
