The present-day youth is facing a large number of
problems-economic, social, moral as well as political. But the root cause of
all these problems is the lack of purpose in his life. The modern youth is like
a rudderless boat. He keeps drifting here and there with no knowledge of his
destination. All his problems grow form his purposelessness.
Our universities are producing millions of
graduates and post-graduates every year. These young men and women look for
jobs after completing their studies. But when they are unable to find any good
job, they become restless. They feel that all their time and money spent on
education has gone waste. They lose all hope of having a good life and grow
desperate. Such a state leads them astray. It is nothing strange that these
young men and women take to destructive activities. They fall into the hands of
anti-social elements who use them as tools to achieve their own selfish ends.
An idle mind is, no doubt, the devil’s workshop.
The youth are full of energy. This energy needs an outlet. If it is not
channelized for constructive purpose, it will naturally spend itself in
destructive action. So it is the duty of the government not to let the youth
feel frustrated. They should not be allowed to feel that their education is no
use. Suitable job opportunities should be given to them. They should be
encouraged and guided to set up their own units. It will create a sense of
confidence in them. The youth are the country’s biggest asset. The future of
the country depends upon how their energy and education is utilized.
