The Gobar Times magazine is real fun, interesting, and easy to read. It is a magazine which every one will like.
Rashmi Bharana, 13 yrs

Gobar Times is fun and has lots of information in it. Its pictures make it attractive. The main aim of the magazine is to- how to use waste in a clever way. We should not throw the garbage into the river, but where should we throw it?
Neha Rastogi, Defence Colony, 12 yrs

I like Gobar Times because of the name of Gobar and I would like to have some more funny pictures of Gobar.
Archit Goyal, Soami Nagar, 11 yrs

Gobar Times is good and I like reading it but can you be so kind to just change your title? Please. It bugs me. But I liked your Environmental information.

It's an easy and funny magazine with a hillarious Title ! I think it'll be in everyone's houses in a few months ! All the information is layed out in an interesting manner.
Charu Gureja, Alaknanda, 13 yrs

Its good and interesting paper. We feel lousy while reading it. I would like to know information about politics too.
Tushar Makkar, Alaknanda, 14 yrs

Change its name and I want more pictures and cartoons in this magazine
Shweta Gupta, Saket, 13 yrs

You should suggest a good name for the mag and show good cartoons.
Deepti Kapahi, Malviya Nagar, 12 yrs

You should change the name to Earth file.
Siddharth Khullar, Saket, 12 yrs

I think that this thing is quite informative and I suggest that this must be made up of simple paper not plastic material.
Dhruv Dua, NOIDA, 13 yrs

Gobar Times just gives information on Gobar and is not enjoyable. This should be distributed in the markets and not along with Down To Earth.
Shivangi Vyas, Ekta Apartments, 12 yrs

I feel that Gobar Times is caring about the environment & will surely help us to improve the environment.
Abhinav Bhargava, Gurgaon, 11 yrs

I liked the Gobar Times newspaper very much because it had many informations like more than 80% of our electricity comes from Thermal power, 62% from hydel power and 5% from biogas and nuclear energy. I would give the the suggestion that we should conserve coal by 90% and use renewable sources like water by 95%
Avinash Nair, 12 yrs

I liked Gobar Times cause its' real cool inspite of the informative features,(not like a humdum average informative newspaper). My suggestions would be starting with cartoons (we children prefer cartoons, and that too funky) and please some more illustrations.
Monsieur Ritwik Das, 12 yrs

Gobar Times should have a lot of illustrations & some advanced or newer stuff for an teenager. It should not be too kiddish nor too advanced i.e for adults. It should really improve.
Neha T. Pamposh Enclave, 12.5 yrs

It is a very good paper. I liked its middle pages that is based on craft very, very much.
Rachita Singh, NOIDA, 12+ yrs

Reading Gobar times is very good for us because we get educated from it that not to take the plastic bag from the shopkeeper. And it has fun also in Gobar Times.
Sumit Dhawan, 12+ yrs

I read Gobar times and I liked it. It is a funny magazine which creates awareness to people from pollution. I would like to contribute to Gobar Times.
Shaman Jaggia, NOIDA, 12+ yrs

I think Gobar Times is good but it should be more funny and it should have more pages.
Pragya Goel, Safdarjung Enclave, 12+ yrs

You should make this 'Gobar Times' funny and show more cartoon pictures.

Gobar Times is a good guide to environment which provides us with the latest information about environment. I would like to see more information about animals.

Aanchal Arora, Kailash Colony, 13+

Gobar times is a magazine which inspires all citizens of India to take part in saving the weath from waste. Working with Gobar times is like cleaning the world's pollution. I also love the magazine's information and illustrations.

Neha Ahuja, Ghaziabad, 13 yrs

The section containing craft work should be on a separate page so when we cut the paper the other information is not taken with it
Madhav Kaushik, Ghaziabad, 12 yrs

Gobar Times should give some articles on sports. OK!!! BYE.
Ankit Luthra, Sukhdev Vihar, 12+ yrs

Gobar times is just the kind of Environmental guide which we need as we do not like to read boring stuff & this is a fun magazine.
Akshat Nauriyal, NOIDA, 14 yrs

Varun Markara, NOIDA, 14 yrs

...a few more quizzes and questions and an environment joke section
Pallavi Dhodiy, NOIDA, 13 yrs

Gobar times is a very practical and a logic newspaper. If some pictures, crossword puzzels and cartoons would be added it would be an excellent newspaper.
Parul Kaushal, Jalvayu Vihar, NOIDA, 12 + yrs

I enjoyed reading Gobar Times. I knewed many information through it & also our environment and the use of dung. It is a good way of telling or informing us and let make our interest in our environment. I would like to read all the editions of Gobar times.
Meghna Singla, Malviya Nagar, 11+ yrs

I suggest that you should type crossword puzzles in Gobar times
Siddharth, 11 yrs

Nothing so special. But only this: that you should keep sending this type of information for the school students and you can give 1 copy at everybody's place in Delhi and other parts of India
Neha Sharma, New Rajinder Nagar, 14 yrs

I think Gobar Times should have a changed title because this title tickles off all the importance that an environment newsletter should get.
Rima Mukherjee, Old Rajinder Nagar, 14 yrs

Please try to make it more intersting and the language some easy so that our small brothers/sisters can also enjoy reading it.
Kannupriya Sarna, Karol Bagh, 13 yrs
