You people might have heard these quotes often, "Youth is wasted on young"- George Bernard Shaw. According to him, we often realize the value of particular thing only when lost it. If we've already realized the power of our younger age, our life would be wonderful. And our society is often misusing this formula. Youth have more physical power than older people and it's cent percent true so the government is using them in military and also we should accept the fact that, the same youth have equal amount of mental ability to solve problems. That's why our former President Dr.A.P.J. Abdul Kalam said that "Youth are the power of our nation".
Yes, youth participation is needed in each and every field where you expect sustainable development and stable environment. Youth power is the greatest power that a country can have. They are the pathway to a country's future. If a country uses that source in a correct way then definitely it will be the super power nation. Many great leader like Fidel Castro, Che Guevara, Genghis Khan started their life in younger age and life thought them many thing. And soon they become one of the greatest leaders of all time that history will never forget them.
We people have seen so many senior citizens ruling the country but still now not even a single youth have ruled our country. This doesn't mean that youth are not capable for that. This is because that we are living in a polluted society where youth are neglected and misused. Instead of ruling our country and staying in a responsible position in our society there so many young people are standing against us and committing social crimes. Because here youth's power is stolen and misused . Since it has the greatest potential they are becoming a greatest thread to our society.
A society needs a active person who is young and energetic. Who is ready to stand against social crimes and who is ready to change bad to good. It doesn't means that elder people are not capable for this perhaps they are the powerhouse of youth. They are the one has more experience and practical stability to withstand a failure. So they are the mentor for the youth and they are the lighthouse for youth.
If, Mahatma Gandhi or Netaji Subash Chandra Bose didn't stand against British there won't be a country so called India. They understood the power of youth correctly and used it in a productive way.
Each and every political party in our country has youth wing because they know that it is necessary and essential to gain support during election. But they won't give any chance to stand in an election
because they fear the youth people will do something productive and gain name and fame that would be a great threat to other political big shots. Here I am not discussing politics involved, I'm saying the view of peoples in a party on youth wing of their party. And this is how they misuse it.
Recent affairs in our country is the best example for youth's participation, We all witnessed that so many young people voluntarily helped so many peoples and rescued lives during Chennai flood. And lakhs of youth sat on the road against Jallikattu ban. Youth power is the greatest and Yes, youth's active participation is needed to create a wealthy future.
