ROLE OF YOUTH IN NATION BUILDING

Youth all over the history has been revolutionary force. Youth is that phase of life where dreams are built and a bright future is foreseen. These are the years to foster moral principles, construct value system and begin an all-new journey on the path of the 'right'. Nation’s strength is in its youth. We can play a significant role in the development of the country not only economically but also by morally and practically.

The term nation building or national development is usually used to refer to a constructive process of engaging all citizens in building social cohesion, economic prosperity and political stability in a nation in an inclusive and democratic way.

The vision of our country lies in the hands of our youths. They are filled with tremendous and towering ambitions.  It will be a great wastage of human resources if these youths are not given an opportunity to exercise their talent. This beautiful land needs these youths in order for our soil to become a brighter one.

The primary role of young people is to get a good education in order to become better citizens of tomorrow. They need to learn skills to do the job that their country’s economy needs. They also need to know how to read, write, think, understand, analyze and discuss the issues their country faces. The entire success of the nation depends on the youths. To help other youths in building confidence and pursuing the field of interest. Guide newcomers in every field on right lines. They need to promote the fair image of the country before the world. Their aim is to serve the country with their skills and talent in various fields. They wish to refresh the culture, trend and traditions of the society.

Youths are fighters. They fight for an identity in society, equality, the homeless, bullying, unemployment, exploitation, poverty and other problems which the world faces today. All of them hopes for a world full of opportunities, so great minds can conquer them and become better individuals. They need good morals and values to handle conflicts in a positive way. We have aspiring doctors, entrepreneurs, scientists, and who knows; maybe the next president.

Youths are problem solvers. They just need to be given a chance to prove themselves. They can play a vital role in the elimination of terrorism. Youths have the power to unite individuals in the six 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.

The youths are our life and nation. They will make our country proud. The country will be recognized. The youths just need the support from their fellow citizens and they will perform their duties.

Women Entrepreneurship

To strengthen our economy, India needs more emerging businesses in every sector and potential entrepreneurs too to run these businesses successfully, in lieu of which, there is an urgency to establish new small and medium scale businesses in every small town and village which cannot be possible without the active participation of women power.

As per the census, women in India constitute nearly 50% of its population and out of this 50 %, considerable percentage of women are working in the employment sector to earn their livelihood and simultaneously contributing in the economic growth but when we particularly talk about the women entrepreneurs; they only constitute 10 % of the total number of entrepreneurs in our country. 

Looking at this huge disparity between the percentage of male and female entrepreneurs, undeniably, Entrepreneurship amongst Women has become a matter of concern. Particularly, in the rural areas, where the development of women entrepreneurship is very low. 

Thus to narrow this gap,Women Entrepreneurship development has to be taken on a serious note for human resource development in our country.

To cater to this , Government must plan new strategies to aim economic development and take up the liability of raising potential women as successful entrepreneurs by paying heed to their inhibitions along with acknowledging and further assisting to the problems faced by them during establishing, organizing and running the new set ups.

Simultaneously, to boost rural women to set up their own businesses, Government must organize self awareness programmes and various Entrepreneurship Development Programmes (EDPs) to cater to their needs, who may not have adequate educational background and skills.

Along with providing sufficient information & assistance, interested women should be facilitated with direct & indirect financial support, timely technological training and assistance for collaboration with renowned Federations and Associations to support their existence in the market.

In this direction of uplifting Women Entrepreneurship, “The Transformers Value Creators” a Nationally Renowned Knowledge Enterprise, is a life exampleof a Professional Associationof Women and lead by a Woman. The Transformers has also been extending its support to promote women entrepreneurship by providing assistance in context to the availability of necessary information through various awareness programs for women, contributing in the enhancement of these women in terms of their self confidence, self esteem, communication along with various other entrepreneurial skills of Money Management, Convincing Power, Negotiation Skills, Presentation Skills, etc. The Transformers has also facilitated many women in establishing their own income generating ventures by facilitating them with financial support through various nationalised banks.

We wish to join hands with the government to work more in this direction as this initiative would certainly broaden the women’s horizon and in result, they would be no more limited to job seekers rather grow out as efficient Job Providers, further contributing to the progress and development of the nation.

Difference between Literacy & Education !!

We often use terms Literacy & Education interchangeably but here there is need to think deeply upon whether these two different terms implies similar meaning or they signify all together the different perspectives.

Ironically, the huge misconception is that these terminologies are termed as one & the same thing, which is a ponderous situation, thus, it is extremely essential for us to understand the difference between Spreading Literacy & Imparting Education.

Below listed are few important points, which would give you a better insight to the clear demarcation between these two terminologies.

• ·         Literacy mainly involves acquiring the ability to read & write whereas Education is about holistic development of a person making it a complete human, who can not only read or write but also has the ability to think in broader terms & analyse the things rationally.
• ·      Thus, Literacy is only about saturating individuals with information whereas Education imparts knowledge, which is information plus awareness regarding the appropriate use of attained information in the service of mankind.
• ·     Undoubtedly, Literacy cannot turn people wise but Education surely does by enabling people to differentiate between right & wrong & doing right thing at a right time.

Conclusively, Education is a much broader & civilized term, which is perceived to be more focused upon the holistic development of an individual which consolidates an individual’s Metal, Physical, Social, Emotional & Spiritual Growth.

After knowing the above difference, it raises a big question mark on our education system, that is :

Are we turning to a Literate Society or an Educated Society?

Realizing the missing links, it is the need of the hour to review & improvise our Education system to ensure a real change, because just being literate won’t help the cause, we need to be aware as well to achieve the real meaning & purpose of education.

Thus, we need to expand the horizon of our education system by inculcating basic Moral Values & Ethics amongst  our students for which Soft Skills & Life Skills training programs have to be a part of Academic Curriculum to focus more upon building Right Attitude & Developing right set of Attributes amongst students at an early stage.

In this Enlightening Endeavour, “The Transformers Value Creators” a Nationally Renowned Life Skills Training Enterprise, has already joined hands with various Educational Institutes to work together to impart necessary Skills & Values amongst our students to raise them as more Visionary, Intellectual, Sensible & Responsible Adults.
