any arena, be it cultural, social or economic development of the nation, where youths have not played
their role. They make huge contributions to the community at all levels as models, actors, social
workers, prolific writers, players, and so on. Yet, in spite of their valuable contribution towards the
development process they have remained unappreciated by the society. Youths have also remained
excluded from society’s important socioeconomic decisions. Youths have been exploited in various
sectors by their seniors and most of the time they end up as lowest beneficiaries.

There are three key elements that contribute towards the progress of a nation. These are education,
employment and empowerment. A nation develops at a steady pace when the youth of the country is
educated and their education is put to right use. Majority of youths in our country are uneducated. Most
of them can’t read and write. So, illiteracy is one of the biggest problems of our nation. The illiterate
population of our country holds back and hinders the progress of our nation. The government of our
country must make special efforts to provide right education to them in order to make them think
logically, rationally and open mindedly. This will help them act in a responsible manner and work for the
progress of our nation. Providing employment opportunities to the unemployed and underemployed
youths of the nation is also very important. Lack of employment opportunities can lead to social unrest.
Thirdly, it is vital to empower the youth to take charge of their life. It is important to promote their
rights and involve them in community decision-making. It is important to channelize the energy and
intelligence of youths in the right direction and provide them employment opportunities as per their
potential or they may move to a wrong track in life. Youths should be prevented from engaging in
violent or other evil activities.Government should empower youths by including them in the decision
making process. The participation of young people in growing economy will instill the feeling of
patriotism and encourage them to be responsible citizens of the nation. It will also increase their
interest in the progress of their nation which will lead to national development. It is vital to build the
future of our youth by providing them education and other means for development. It is important to
include youths as participants and respected leaders to use their power. Government should formulate
policies to encourage and engage young people in important activities of the nation.

Youths have certain responsibility towards their nation, which they must recognize and practice instead
of blaming the system of our nation. Youths can come together and shape the future of our country. The
attitude that “what change can an individual bring to the whole Nation…?” hinders the progress. The
correct attitude and urge to serve the nation is very important. Youth are the social actors to bring the
change and progress. Youth should be sincere and hardworking as the advancement of nation mostly is
in their hands. The principle of integrity should be adopted by youth for progress in any work they take
up.

change and development with sincere efforts. They have fire in them to fly high and chase the sky. So, if
the power of youth is used wisely and optimally then it can surely lead to the national development.
