The youth of any country is really the storehouse of a great deal of human resources. They form an important part of the machinery that shapes the destiny of a country. They help to bring about a desirable change in the society. History is abundant with examples that justify the greatness of the contribution of the youth toward the progress and uplift of the country. The youth of India were greatly instrumental in bringing about the Independence movement in India. GandhiJI, Nehruji and other national leaders depended heavily on the youth of India to materialize the schemes that they had to help achieve the goal of Swaraj.
In India, at least half of the population constitute youth. Their vast energies and enthusiasm must not go untapped. It should be utilized for social, political, cultural or economic reconstruction. If the youth are left without the proper use of their energies, they can go astray, get involved in undesirable and anti-social attitudes, thus damaging the very fabric of society. As far as possible, they should be encouraged to get involved in the present task or reconstructing India on desirable lines. The youth should be educated at schools, colleges and universities in creating a society- A society that is free of the evils of dowry, child marriage, caste and race prejudices. Many organizations are employed in eradicating these evils but the task can become easier if the youth are actively involved in the process. The youth can facilitate the process of reformation and help to create a new social order.
The youth usually under-estimate their potential. They are unaware of their own capabilities and have to go through a crisis to really get a sense of their own potential. Sometimes Yuvak Kendras etc organize etc organize excursion treks etc for students so that their experience of the hardships faces in the mountains etc., prepare them for the hardships that they shall face in their life.
The youth can spread the message of national intergration by encouraging inter-caste marriages. This can create a sence of appreciation for the languages, culture and religion of other people and make India a more comfortable place to live in.
