According to Kalam why is it difficult for the youth to become unique?
Answers
Answer:
India has the unique strength of almost 400 million youth, with the median age of the nation being a mere 27 years. It is about 37 years for China, about 38 for the US, 31 for Brazil and about 39 for Russia. This makes India the youngest among the emerging BRIC nations. By 2020, India is set to become the world’s youngest country with 64 per cent of its population in the working age group. With most of the west, Japan and even China ageing, this youth potential gives India an opportunity which, many experts believe, could add a significant 2 per cent to the GDP growth rate.
Realising the youth potential
I believe the ignited mind of the youth is the most powerful resource on, above and under the earth. We have to generate creative leaders in business, politics, science, education, services, manufacturing and agriculture.
Making youth unique
Youth of India need to be encouraged to be unique in their careers and lives. I have, so far, met 21 million youth in India and abroad within a decade. I learned one thing from these interactions— “Every youth wants to be unique, that is, you! But the world all around you is doing its best, day and night, to make you just 'everybody else'”.
