Presentation on ‘Youth & Government – Paving a new path for India’ (14th May 2011)

POLITICS & DEMOCRACYRobbie Williams said: “Poli” is a Latin word

meaning “many”; and "tics" meaning “bloodsucking creatures....”

But I would say, “Poli” is a Latin word meaning ‘masses’ and “tics” that trigger youth to be proactive!

Democratic Government : People’s Government – For the People, By the People, Of the People.

THE GOVERNMENTFeeling the Pulse of the Youth`What The Youth Values: Empowerment InformationCommunication & sharing IdeasRelationships & InfluenceDiversityAnd most importantly…Technology &

Development

INDEPTH FINDINGS

The youth do not have enough information about the Government /institutions.

The youth expect hand outs from government instead of a hands up.

Government governs through theory and not through practical aid.

It is up to the youth to come up with initiatives for the future.

Only a few people have actually attempted to talk to government.

When they do, the youth will take their issues to their contacts/influences/media/shelve off!

Time to shrug off ‘Who Cares’ – Attitude that matters to Change for a Change.

Youth Statistics National Election stat of electorates is largest – 700 million! 200 Million Votes fall in 18-25 yrs category Big Talk – Products, Books & mags, Youth development, Youth

Leadership, etc Large numbers engaged in Welfare & welfare related activities Youth who are either studying, working or in Business Majority of Youth looking for Avenues: Work, training, part of

some major economic activity, definitely part of a very strong social group.

A National Youth Policy was framed in the Seventh Plan

and a plan of action formulated in 1992. The National Youth

Policy seeksto provide the youth with new opportunities to

participate in nation building.
