Education: First and the foremost concern of todays youth in India is education.

Indian
youth demands for better education, employment driven training and brighter future.
Youth also want that skill based education and job placement should be a part of every
higher institution. More emphasis should be laid down on career oriented courses and
there should be a connection with real life scenario rather than just bookish. Youth from
non-urban setting generally lacks good communication skills. This is also one of the
major concerns because it acts as an obstacle on the way to get job and progress.
Job: Youth unemployment in India is on rise. According to the World Development
Report 2013, 9% of males and 11% females aged between 15 to 24 years are
unemployed. As per data of 2009-10, 9.7% of young men and 18.7% of young women in
India were unemployed. At global level, chances of youth being unemployed is three
times more than adults. Global financial crisis hit youth first then adult. Also as per
NSSO survey, youth unemployment among illiterate is less as compared to educated
youth. Because illiterate youth is willing to do all sorts of work whereas educated ones
look for jobs in their respective field only. Young graduates suffer the most as far as
getting job is concerned.
Corruption Todays youth is concerned with the issue of corruption more than
anything else and that is why most of the protestors in the recent Anna Hazares
campaign against corruption were the Indian youth. Mr Ratan Tata once said, The youth
of today will need to recognise that they shoulder a great responsibility. They will need
to fight for rooting out corruption, for ensuring that no one is above the law and uniting
the citizens of India as India first instead of communal or geographic factions. Though
fighting against corruption is the responsibility of every citizen but youth by virtue of
their nature and energy participate more in this cause. Corruption should be rooted out of
country. Youth in India must know what they want and how they want because good and
bad co-exist in the society. Today we relate everything related to success in terms of
money. But success is more than this. Youth must derive inspiration from their role model
and live life with proud.
Youth have to speak out from the very beginning of their career and life that they wont
compromise and will adhere to ethical values. Display honesty even if you are not
questioned or watched. Show fairness and transparency in whatsoever you do. This will
bring change in you and your surroundings.
