National Youth Day was observed on Sunday. Youths constitute the single largest segment of the population of the country. Country’s future depends largely on how they perform. They can steer the country ahead to the pinnacle of success, they can also doom the country through their deeds. Only their numerical strength will do little if they are not properly educated and groomed up for turning into a productive force for the country.
Our youths should turn to job-oriented and need-based education. When the world is progressing in all respects, why should our youths lag behind ? They should come out of the shackles of age-old colonial mentality. There are immense opportunities in different sectors of the country and the youths can explore those. IT Sector has flourished in the country in recent times. Many youths have changed their lot by turning to the same. The government should come up for further improvement of this sector to help create enterprises in this sector to absorb the unemployed youth. Establishment of IT parks in the country where even foreign entrepreneurs may feel tempted to invest may expedite employment generation for the increasing number of youths.
A huge number of youths are steeped in deep frustration triggered by sheer unemployment problem. Many are seeking solace in drug addiction. Absence of moral values is greatly responsible for this. Cultivation of moral values together with education can protect the youths from degeneration. It is the responsibility of the state to provide job-oriented education for the youths on the one hand, and instill moral values into their psyche on the other. Proper parental care, role of teachers of the educational institutions can also bring the desired results in this regard.
Our youths should not be completely dependent on government and private sector jobs alone. They should go for self-employment. After completion of education our youths can turn to self-employment like poultry farming, dairy farming, fish breeding, nursery business, apiculture etc. In this way they can sustain themselves and create jobs for others also and contribute to economic development of the country.
