Key takeaways

  • Ria Sharma belongs to chemistry; place it in that map before memorising details.
  • Learn the definition first, then one example that makes the definition concrete.
  • Connect Ria Sharma to a quantity you can measure, compute or draw — that is where exam questions come from.
  • Reproduce the core statement of Ria Sharma from memory before moving on to harder problems.

Reference excerpt

Ria Sharma is a social activist and the first Indian to receive the UNICEF Global Goals Awards for 2017. Sharma is the founder of NGO Make Love Not Scars that works in all aspects of rehabilitation for acid attack survivors in India. Sharma also founded the world's first rehabilitation centre for acid attack survivors in the world.

Early life and education Sharma was born in 1992 and grew up in New Delhi. She completed her schooling from Pathways World School in Haryana. She graduated from the Leeds College of Art, UK. As a part of her curriculum, she returned to India to make a documentary on acid attack survivors in 2014 at the age of 21.

Scars In 2014, Sharma founded Make Love Not Scars (MLNS) to support acid attack victims who are mostly women. It actively supports survivors of acid attacks physically and mentally. This is a crowd funded organization where the team organizes campaigns and reach out to volunteers and funders online through social media platform. The organization helps the survivors get jobs to support their families. Sharma made a statement to support acid attack survivors by starting her career by not wearing makeup for a year to stand in solidarity with the acid attack survivors. She founded India's first rehabilitation center for survivors of acid attacks. MLNS also provides a platform for the survivors to interact with employers and get hired. They display their talents and skills on the portal, and urge organisations to find a suitable employee. End Acid Sale, a campaign that was started by the organization in mid 2015 aimed at putting a ban on retail sale of acids. The campaign created awareness and a petition drive was launched to help support the cause. The campaign gained global support and became one of India most awarded campaigns. End Acid Sale made history by being the first Indian campaign in 7 years to win the Cannes Gold Lion in Film In April 2015, The Supreme Court made it mandatory for both private and government hospitals across the country to provide full and free medical treatment to the victims. The treatment would include reconstructive surgery, medicines, accommodation, rehabilitation and aftercare. The government also increased the compensation to 3 lac INR per victim. Till date, 5 victims have been able to receive free treatment under the new guidelines by the government.

Awards In 2017, Sharma was the first Indian to be awarded the United Nations Goalkeepers Global Award. The award recognizes an individual who has made extraordinary efforts to lead a campaign, group or movement that has served to protect and better the lives of women and girls in a region, country or globally. Make Love Not Scars has been able to create a sustainable growth and momentum with the infrastructure to expand and evolve. In 2016, Sharma was awarded the British Council's Social Impact Award, for creating a positive social change and improving the life of others. In 2017, Sharma was awarded the India Today Woman Of The Year for Public Service. In 2017, under Sharma's leadership Make Love Not Scars was awarded The CNBC TV18 India Business Leader Award(IBLA) under the category "Brand Of The Year".

Worked examples

Example 1 — a first encounter with Ria Sharma

Start with the simplest possible case. Write down what Ria Sharma claims or describes in one sentence, then invent the smallest concrete situation in which that sentence is true. In chemistry, the smallest case is usually a single object, a single equation or a single measurement. Check that every symbol or term in your sentence has a meaning in that case.

Example 2 — changing one variable

Take the situation from Example 1 and change exactly one quantity: double it, halve it, or set it to zero. Predict what should happen to Ria Sharma before you calculate. Comparing your prediction with the result is the fastest way to find out whether you understand the idea or only the words.

Example 3 — an exam-style question

Typical questions about Ria Sharma ask you to (a) state it precisely, (b) apply it to given data, and (c) explain a limitation. Practise writing all three answers in under five minutes; the third part is what separates a full-mark answer from an average one.

Applications of Ria Sharma

In research
Ria Sharma appears in chemistry research whenever the underlying quantities have to be modelled precisely. Papers usually cite it as a starting assumption and then explore where it breaks down.
In technology and industry
Engineering practice reuses Ria Sharma in design rules, simulations and safety margins. Knowing the idea lets you read a specification sheet and understand why the numbers look the way they do.
In the classroom
Ria Sharma is common in secondary-school and first-year university syllabi. It links to neighbouring topics 1992 births, Acid attacks, Indian activists, so understanding it makes those chapters shorter.
In everyday life
Look for Ria Sharma outside the textbook — in sport, cooking, traffic, electronics or the sky above you. An example you found yourself is remembered far longer than one you were given.
