Youth welfare
Meaning
Youth welfare aims to improve the opportunities for children and young people and
to support their families. India youth welfare is in the hands of state-run youth welfare
departments and nongovernmental, charitable organizations (NGOs). The duties of these
departments are prescribed in the Child and Youth Welfare Law (Kinder und
Jugendhilfegesetz--KJHG) of 1991.
Youth welfare comprises the following main areas: general youth and social work, day care
for children, and the finding and supervision of foster parents and guardians. Besides helping
disadvantaged children and young people overcome their problems in life and education,
youth welfare also takes the needs and interests of their young clientele into account.
Available measures extend from open facilities (e.g., advice or youth centers), where
participation is voluntary, to highly interventionist measures (e.g., admittance to a home,
revocation of custody). It is primarily the latter tasks that fall within the responsibility of the
state-run sector of youth welfare departments. In recent years, Germany's youth welfare
departments have moved from a mainly repressive, interventionist approach to a more
service-oriented, preventative one. Parallel to this development arose the demand for a much
broader "universal" youth welfare system that would deal not only with the afflicted person
as such, but try to influence that person's environment.
The project "Youth Welfare and Social Change" (carried out by the Federal Ministry for
Women and Youth People at the German Institute for Young)
Demographic Details
The Indian economy is at tipping point. And the youth of this country will determine
the direction the economy takes. As per the Census of India – 2001 the population under 34
years was around 41%. Some experts refer to this large proportion of youth as “demographic
dividend”. Others refer to it as “demographic disaster”. So which way will the economy tip?
Is our burgeoning youth a bane or boon? In the early 1980s China was in a position that India
finds itself today. And China’s current economic boom is said to be the direct consequence
of the large proportion of youth in its population. According to some estimates the current
proportion of population under 25 years in India is 51% and the proportion under 35 is about
66%. This predominance of youth in the population is expected to last until 2050. While the
average age of an Indian in 2020 is expected to be 29 years, the average age for China is
expected to be 37.
With proper education, job openings and healthcare, our youth are sure to tip the economy in
the right direction.
The Youth represent the hope and future of a country. They have a vital role to play with
regard for fostering and strengthening of social consciousness against all social evils and lead
the country to unity and prosperity.
The existing scenario of the country reflects the problems connected with youth; which
manifest in many unlawful activities of the misguided youth. The immense resources of
youth, if galvanized, can work as a major force of socio-economic change. It is therefore
needed to create increasing opportunities for them to develop their personality and their
functional capacity and thus make them economically productive and socially responsible.
The concept of government job for every individual has now become an illusion. So it is
important to develop the personality of person in a proper way, which will empower him to
face the risks and casualties of life with presence of mind rather than running away from it.
With this view in mind the government of Kerala has given shape to a youth welfare board.
The Kerala State Youth Welfare Board holds the serious responsibility of creating material
situation and empowering the youth along with his/her mental, aesthetic, artistic and physical
development. It gives more importance to the development of a whole society through the
development of every single person. The board aims to boost the pride and confidence of the
youth of Kerala by shaping them up in the artistic, cultural and vocational fields. It plans to
give orientation to the youth on all walks of social and cultural life. This will capacitate
every single youth to function as a resource person, who will give information about the
nook and corner of Kerala, its life, culture and activities, for those outside the state. The
KSYWB will act as a platform of youth empowerment programmes for the youth of Kerala
and equip them to find new opportunities globally.

Youth power can transform India: Kalam
Former president A.P.J. Abdul Kalam says the great challenge of transforming India can be
achieved through youth which has got the power of ideas, ambition and ability.
"This resource of the youth is an important building block for transforming India into a
developed nation," he said at a breakfast meeting Saturday with students of the prestigious
Wharton business school, Philadelphia, America's oldest institution of its kind.
"If you have an aim in life, realize that spent time cannot be recovered," said Kalam,
asserting that no youth today need to fear about the future. The former president was
addressing the students at the 12th Wharton India Economic Forum (WIEF) held with the
theme of "India Imagine".
The forum is designed to serve as a platform for thought-leaders, professionals and policy
makers to define their perception of the global Indian and discuss the wave of new
imagination that is spurring the nouveau Indian to create unprecedented opportunities.
"Hence the precious time has to be used for achieving the goal, have confidence to win, have
confidence to defeat the problems and succeed and have a righteous heart; you will definitely
succeed in all your missions," Kalam said.
"Success can only come to you by courageous devotion to the task lying in front of you. I
can assert without fear of contradiction that the quality of the Indian mind is equal to the
quality of any Teutonic, Nordic or Anglo-Saxon mind.
"What we lack is perhaps courage, what we lack is perhaps driving force, which takes one
anywhere. We have, I think, developed an inferiority complex," the former president said,
stressing "what is needed in India today is the destruction of that defeatist spirit.
"We need a spirit of victory, a spirit that will carry us to our rightful place under the sun, a
spirit, which will recognize that we, as inheritors of a proud civilization, are entitled to a
rightful place on this planet."
He asked the students to ensure acquisition of three unique characteristics of life: "Realizing
the importance of present that is today; the confidence that I can do it and building
righteousness in the heart."
Posing the question of what the teachers can give to the students for their growth, Kalam
said: "In an integrated way it can be said, that an enlightened human being can be created by
the teacher through providing two unique characteristics.
"One is building capacities among the students to inquire, to innovate, be creative, and
develop the qualities of entrepreneurship and moral leadership," he said. "Second is the
development of moral value system."
He had seen three dreams in India, which have taken shape as vision, mission and realisation,
said Kalam, citing the space programme of ISRO (Indian Space Research Organization), the
AGNI programme of DRDO (Defence Research and Development Organisation) and PURA
(Providing Urban Amenities in Rural Areas) becoming a National Mission.
"Of course these three programmes succeeded in the midst of many challenges and
problems," he said, sharing his learning from these three programmes based on his personal
experiences.
He summed these up as "high level thinking to transform the vision into missions,
acquisition of knowledge from all sources, and working without boundary conditions till the
realisation of the mission".
Above all the leader "absorbs the failure and takes the responsibility and gives the credit for
success to his team while executing the mission," Kalam said.
Over the last two years WIEF has traced the Indian growth story exploring themes such as
'India's Mantra for Success' and 'Realising the Indian Dream'
As a youth one must indulge in following activities

Jaag Yuva Jaag
The youth is the spring of the human life. The sky is the limit for the energy and
enthusiasm of the youth. This is the time when everything becomes possible. Their
dreams and ambitions rise to the infinity. At this age, a person gets wings of the birds
and the power of wild cats. Truly quoted by Henry Wadsworth that “How beautiful is
youth! How bright it gleams...
Make Way for the New
In 19 years of my life, I have not yet been able to make up my mind as to whether I
am a feminist or not. And so, my stand on women’s’ reservation (33% in the
parliament) could change every five minutes. After giving it a lot of thought, I
realized that one can never be sure of the success the bill might generate, if it is
passed.
Following youth are the changemaker – you can be one of them too?
Today the youth of the country are lacking there soul strength, due to their social
backwardness, educational backwardness, & economical backwardness.
They are depressed from thousand years, after the independence most of the community’s
were given opportunity in getting education, & getting a job in government service
Today the situation is completely different from past 50 years, because most of the backward
class people were appointed as teacher’s of the primary school after 1990.
Before 1990 (in Karnataka state) most of the people use to say that Brahmins and Kshatriyas
were control the education institution, after 1990 most of the backward class born teachers
children’s are studying in private school’s and competing to government job’s .
Let us think why those government school teachers don’t put there children in there same
school were they teach to rural children.
Most of the rural children are effected to Dyslexia (difficulties in Reading, Spelling, Writing,
Handwriting, Number, problem in Organization, Concentration, Language, Memory)
because of there lack of teaching skill’s they think that if they take there children in same
school the child may effect from getting good education, so the teachers don’t worry about
the future effect to rural child in his life.
Let us think what will be the life of rural child.
Some children will out of school within the age of 13, some after 16 ages.
Some will complete there education but no full knowledge, these youth are today facing a
critical situation in there life.
By taking this situation most of the money minded people and criminal minded & Religion
minded people are taking opportunity to hypnotizing the youth in the name of improving the
way of living standard, earning more property, Religion, Politics.
By all this criminal activity in our mind for the sake of comparison of living standard,
The world may explode at any time with Nuclear because of our narrow desire.
Our first duty is that we should not be a burden on society; we should be self-dependent.
From this point of view self-sufficiency itself is a kind of service. We shall use our spare
time for the service of others. If all become self-sufficient none will be in trouble.
Even if we succeed in realizing self-sufficiency completely, man being a social being, we
will have to accept service in some form or other.
That is, man is as much self-dependent as inter-dependent. When dependence becomes
necessary in order to keep society in good order it is no longer dependence, but becomes co-
operation. There is sweetness in co-operation; there is no one weak or strong among those
who co-operate.
Let every man and woman and child, without respect of cast or birth, weakness or strength,
hear and learn that behind the strong and the weak, behind the high and low, behind
everyone, there is that Infinite Soul, assuring all the infinite possibility and the infinite
capacity to become great and good. Let us proclaim to every soul: Arise, arise, awake!
Awake from this hypnotism of weakness. None is really weak; the soul is infinite,
omnipotent, and omniscient. Stand up, assert yourself, proclaim the God within you, do not
deny Him.
Unemployed youth is the only major problem
India is shining. India is progressing with an amazing growth rate. Growth rate of India is the
second highest in the world after that of China. The youth force of India are contributing lot
to the same. It is believed that principal reason behind Indian progress is its youth force,
highest in number in the world. However, there is a problem. Huge number of Indian youth
are not only unemployed but unemployable.
There are two new world leaders China, in manufacturing sector and India, in service sector.
Large number of white collar jobs are waiting for suitable candidates. Indian youth force,
behind the progress of India, is mainly engaged in IT. India is a leader in software.Software
industries in India are continually offering white collar jobs besides some blue collars.
India is also world leader in BPO (Business process out sourcing) and KPO (Knowledge
process out sourcing). Large number of call centers are contributing to the industries and
trades of America the US, UK, Australia, Japan, European Union, Canada and many other
developed countries. BPO sector needs large number of blue collars. KPO industries require
and offer white collar jobs.
IT industries has seen a tremendous boom in India. This industry has employed large number
of educated youth with handsome salary. Normally, IT is the highest paid sector.
Management, banking, finance, retail, telecommunication, entertainment etc. are some other
new sectors that helped India in her tremendous growth.
A recent survey throws light on the problem, problems with the educated youth. They are
mainly lacking three types of skills.
1. Comunication skill
3. Domain.
While in interview approximately sixty percent candidates are screened due to lack of
communication skills. Rest twenty five percent are screened for analytical skills and five
percent for their lack of knowledge in their respective domain. Hence ninety percent of
educated youth force are lacking in one of these three main skills required for job and
employment.Only ten percent of educated force of India is employable. Employers are
struggling hard to attract them with huge pay-packages that is increasing their production
cost significantly. The employers are loosing their competitive edge in global markets.
Global slow down only adds to the crisis. Corporations are now facing dual problem.
The problem lies in the education system.The Indian education system has a mismatch with
the requirements of the industries. Institutes teach what ever they want. Institutes do not
teach what industries require. Industries do not require what institutes teach. The syllabus
committees has not been interfacing with the industries. Many big industries have set-up
their own in house training program to fight with the problem.
Most of the newly employed youths are compulsorily undergone employers own training
program. This enhances cost of employers enormously. It also wastes time.
The problem and solution have two aspects: Individual and collective.
As an individual you have to choose your courses carefully. You have to interact with the
industries to know their requirements.You must choose an institute very carefully. Ensure
that they are covering above mentioned three aspects in their syllabus. It is in your best
interest to ensure that your institute is interfacing with the requirements of industries before
you admit into it.
The one point solution of the problem is a change in education system, a radical change.
There must be an interface among Government bodies looking after education, Universities,
all India committee of technical education and the representatives of the industries. The
institutes must educate as per industries' needs.
