Few days back when I was surfing, I bumped into the article like, "We have educated our youth into debt". Well the very first question that struck my mind was not "have we?", it was "What are we gonna do now?", There's nothing we can do to rollback the debt once taken !! The only answer lies in getting ready for the work of future.
Now, first of all lets take the education system in India onto the matter of table, as we know that free and compulsory education is provided as a fundamental right to children between the ages of 6 and 14!!, That's a great work done there!! But as the matter of fact every system carries the glitch(!) within and so is with Indian Education System. Our system follows the pattern of "10+2+3" or "10+2+4" on the normal basis. Where the "10" is easily encountered but the real mafia part is played by "2+4", because India is a place where majority of the peoples run after huge salaries and guaranteed placement institute rather than their passion , this phase is more of a hassle than its worth. I mean seriously people pay massive amount of their money by getting all the possible kinds of loan and for what? Here I have an ample of examples from TOI article loans turns debt trap for students , I m not against some aspirant taking loans or a needy! But as already India is way too much into the debts, and any we are not making things any better.
There is another hindering part I would like to discuss, nowadays as many aspirant are applying for the foreign studies, the needs for loans arises!! Now as we know of foreign studies are not cheaper from our aspect (unless you are a scholar and has applied on basis of scholarship!!) leaving our parents in debts!
So, recursively question comes backs to "What are we gonna do now?!"
Now, if the reason behind the question is us, then the answer as well should be us.
The value of country is assessed not by the riches or assets it possesses, but by its people. As you can see from this, wealthy nations can go to ruin if their newer generations are unable to keep pace with their forefathers.
The youth of a nation determine how it shapes up a few years into the future; they are the future of the country, and their actions and inaction both contribute to the state of the nation. In developing and promising countries like India, where the 30% of entire population comprises of youth changes can be brought about by-
Bringing in positive change:
As we see that the youth are more smarter these days with immense knowledge of their field, Youth of our country can use their education to battle the problems that plagues our country.
Creativity & ideas should be initiated:
Rather than walking on mainstream like every other out there, more emphasis should be laid on creative thinking, ethical thinking, idea generation! Time has went back then, filling up the family needs and getting a government job was at prior. Needless of doing some mainstream like engineering and spending hell lot of money, why not follow your passion?
"I think if everyone looked the same, it would be a bit boring."
Change the system:
Its simple, if you don't like it then change it!! Why wait for someone else to change, if you can see it? With all that you have got bring the positive change around you.
Thanks for your time, friends!! Please share your ideas regarding what you feel!!
Of the youth, by the youth, for the youth!!
