Young Generation in India

India is having the highest young population in the world – about 500 million. Soon after completion of their studies, Indian youth seek to embrace a new life style, buttressed by a stupendous career growth, status in the society, etc. Life is in a fast line, thanks to the latest technological advances. To keep pace with this, they want to grow fast, try out new things and be in the lap of luxury without bothering much. The nations are becoming global with people moving from one part to other, increased partnerships between countries and organization. I believe they have to be like a bee having the honey from a flower. The bee does not know how the flower has grown or how it produces honey. But the bee plays a big part in propagation of pollen grains, unknowingly, which helps grow seeds that in turn produce new plants. So today’s young generation also needs to act as bees, which devour honey from beautiful flowers but simultaneously propagate the pollen grains to produce new seed in their nation as well. They should implement and practice sweet things, which they experience and learn from other developed nations.

The youth of this country has got a big job on their shoulders -- to lead the country and to make this nation a developed nation, to be proactive in political and environmental issues. As a country, India is facing a sudden crunch of arable agricultural lands because of the growing cities and towns. We need more young people to learn about the most important environmental issues and tackle them with the right policies, infrastructure and partnerships.
