It is said that the strength of a nation is determined by the strength
of its youth. India which is set to become the youngest nation by 2020 has
approximately 450 million youth population. If they get what they need, then
there is nothing that can stop us. Swami Vivekananda always emphasized about
the capabilities and the power of youth and what they can achieve if they get
the right tools and support. On this 70th Independence Day, here are 10 things that this young India
wants from its government -
- Change in education system: Children are overburdened with syllabus and even a 99% score can’t guarantee you a seat in good college. The emphasis of education should be more on providing practical knowledge than theoretical only.
- Encouragement to sports: Despite brilliant performance of India in various sports, parents and society discourage children to opt for sports. Sports should be given the same importance as academic education.
- Job opportunities: The one of the biggest problems that youth face is finding employment these days. The number of jobs are much lesser than the students graduating every year. Hence they either are unemployed or suffer disguised unemployment.
- More start-up platforms: Young minds often come up with some innovative and creative ideas for both technology and business. They need more platform to showcase their talent.
- Basic Amenities : They need better infrastructure, cleaner roads, safer drinking water and an open defecation free country.
- Freedom from Caste Reservation: The youth wants that reservations should be done on financial basis rather than on caste as it will benefit more people.
- Drug free India: With lot of youth under depression due to unemployment, drugs provide a sort of relief to them. Government should tighten the grip over the easy drug distribution.
- No discrimination: They demand transparency in law and asks people to rise above hate, caste, creed, race and religion.
- Right to Know the Truth: Young India wants to know the real truth not fake news about the performance of government.
- Safety : The roads of the country should be made more safer for everyone.Local law enforcement should be increased.
To be more precise, the young Indians wants a government that builds
better infrastructure, educates its people , provides safety, security and more
platforms to fulfill their dreams. As Swami Vivekananda quoted "What we want are some young men who will renounce everything and
sacrifice their lives for their country's sake. We should first form their
lives and then some real work can be expected".Is there anything that I missed? Feel free to share.
