India is a nation of youth with more than 50% population comprising of youth. Dr. Kalam, the great scientist and visionary, has dreamt of a strong India and a resilient India. Now, the question comes how the throbbing young population of our country can contribute towards realizing Dr. Kalam’s vision.
As per Dr. Kalam, the Indian economy is growing at a fast pace but what we lack is self-confidence. The youth of today can gain self-confidence by fighting for equal rights. Most of the government machinery is ridden with corruption. The young population can bring about a revolution by increasing awareness among masses. Once the whole nation is awakened about ill effects of corruption then it can be surely rooted out. India is growing exponentially. The fruit of growth has failed to reach the masses. This is because of a lesser degree of empowerment of masses. By voluntary participation in mass awareness through programmes like Shiksha Mitra youth can help educate the masses of India.
Brain drain has been a big problem. The way Indian economy is growing in there is no dearth of opportunities in India. Young people should avoid looking for greener pastures abroad. If all of us will work collectively then India will be the best country to work in and to live in.
Society is an integral part of our life. We should also give back whatever we can to our society. Even small gesture is sufficient. We can organize free classes for slum children in our neighbourhood or we can organize a blood donation camp for the needy. Because of a handful of fanatics, India’s national integration is in danger. By channelizing our energies in proper direction we can reduce and ultimately eliminate this sense of suspicion and hatred for each other. This will go a long way in ensuring national integration.
Although India has come a long way since independence yet we see MPs squabbling over women’s reservation in the Parliament. In certain other fields also there is lesser representation of women. With proper education facilities and proper awareness women can be helped to make their mark in each and every field.
To recapitulate let us remember that youth are the torch bearers of tomorrow. If we lay a strong foundation today we can build a strong future. This will help us become a stronger, self confident and a great country where everyone will respect others’ freedom.
