According to a notable data I went through of India, around 600 million people are under the age of 25, with nearly 70 percent of the population being under the age of 40. About 40% of the Indian population is between the ages of 13 and 35, which are called youth, a youth policy say. Such a large number of young people is unprecedented not only in India, but also in the world. :If this demographic dividend is not effectively utilised, India may face a demographic crisis. The youth will then be on the wrong course.
I am a student and I have personally felt that following are some most common aspects that concerns the youth of India the most:
a) Education:
What’s most important for the youth of India other than food and shelter? obviously education, right?. The Indian youth want higher education, job-oriented training, and a brighter future. In my view more focus should be placed on career-oriented courses that have a real-world application rather than being just academic.
b) Job:
It used to hit me hard, when somebody talked about it or even uttered this word. In India, youth unemployment is on the rise and it frustrates me a lot. According to a report of that I gone through 2013, 9% of males and 11% of girls between the ages of 15 and 24 are unemployed. According to the 2009-10 data, 9.7% of young males and 18.7% of young women in India were unemployed. Youth were the first to be affected by the global financial crisis, followed by adults.
c) Corruption:
Enough jokes me and my friends and family have cracked, on this and laughed a lot. But when I personally faced and felt this, I literally cried inside. The issue of corruption is more important to today’s youth than anything else, which is why the majority of protesters in the recent anti-corruption movements have been Indian youth. We will have to battle corruption, ensure that no one is above the law, and unite Indian citizens as “India first” rather regional groups."
