years, we have been striving to eliminate these inequalities at all levels, which are existing in the forms

of poverty, unemployment, illiteracy, corruption, violence, gender bias etc. India is ranked at 130 in
Human Development Index, 115 in Human Capital Index, 100 in Global Hunger Index, 122 in World
Happiness Index, 62 in Inclusive Development Index, 141 in Gender Development Index and 145 in
Global Burden of Disease Study. India’s rank in various development indices has barely grown over the
years. If India is to improve upon these indices, then the Indian Youth needs to take the charge and
come forward to fight against multiple inequalities and contribute in nation building.

India has the edge of demographic dividend. They have the power to change the nation. Young mind will
be more fresh and innovative which helps in the progress of the country. But adequate opportunities
should be given to the youth to represent their ideas and policies for the upliftment of the nation. Only
way to express the ideas and to implement their policies is politics. Young people should be motivated
to take part in politics and to occupy the high positions such as Prime Minister, Chief Minister and
Governor.

Knowledge and unity speaks a lot rather than experience. For instance, a mass protest by the youth in
Delhi for justice of Nirbhaya case, a mass protest in Delhi for India against Corruption and a mass protest
in the Marina beach for Jallikattu etc are some of the prominent examples for the strength of youth. If
the ruling power is given in the hands of the youth, then definitely India will become developed nation
soon.

They have power to change. Education programs should aim to teach and young minds right from the
school level the importance of choosing right people who would take charge of governance.
Conventionally, youth have been asked to keep away from politics. Youth should be motivated to
consider politics as a means to serve the nation. They should be oriented on anti-corruption drives with
focus on prevention, education, and strategies for fighting corruption. Good governance is realistic with
youth empowerment.

The pivotal role of youth who are afresh with ideas and not ideals, will help in this movement towards a
transparent civil society structure which can influence the political administration for the benefit of the
society. It is only through a strong system of representation that democracy work and it is only through
a strong youth representation that the dynamism and vigour of a country be maintained.

It is therefore important to acknowledge the role of civil societies in empowering youth towards
strengthening of the democratic system of the country and sustainable development. The solution lies
to effectively utilize modern tools in disseminating the belief among youth on their participation and
representation in democracy through civil society initiatives.

Our nation needs them to resolve most of our problems. Currently India is facing a lot of challenges, and
youth are capable of solving them. They just need to be given a chance to prove themselves. Youth have
the power to unite individuals in the various ethnic groups. Racism is an ongoing issue around the world.
Individuals are fighting against each other because of the complexion of their skin and the texture of
their hair. Religion is another issue, the youths can convince their fellow man to live in peace and love.
All of us are one and we should not allow these little differences to push us away from each other. There
also a lot of crime taking place. Women are being killed by their abusive husbands. Person’s homes,
businesses, are being broken into. All of this crime and violence needs to stop. The youth once more has
the ability to bring about a change in the country.

Youths seems to have the ability to face any issues and challenges. They have a positive influence on
their fellow young people. They are able to teach them the positive things in life. The ones who are
destroying their future, they tend to listen to their fellow youths. They will make them understand the
importance of being a good human being.

The wise youth that we have out there should be taken into consideration. Some of them, though
educated are unemployed. They should be given an opportunity to expose their intelligence to the
world and make themselves into someone. Government, Civil Society, voluntary organisations and other
stakeholders should assist the youths; so that they can make our land a great and educated one. They
will make a huge difference in society and the entire world. The youth are our life and nation. They will
make our country proud. The country will be recognized. The youth just need the support and enabling
environment at family level, community level, society level, state level, national level and international
level which in turn will them to perform their duties.

The role of the youth in the nation building is crucial. They are problem solvers, have a positive influence
on other young people and the nation, and are extremely ambitious. They have the ability to create an
identity for themselves and move the nation forward. However, they will not be able to do this without
the support of family, community, Government and fellow youths. Then the youth can make their
beautiful land flourish and shine in success.
