There is a great talent in youth, who are like dynamite and can do great good when guided on the right path. Youth power has been regarded as an inexhaustible reservoir of human resources. Youth are one of the greatest assets that any nation can have. Not only are they regarded as the future leaders but they are potentially the greatest investment for a country’s development. Films like 'Rang de Basanti' revolutionised the thinking of our youth. This shows the concern of our young generation for our country and we need to take affirmative steps to make sure youth become powerful and determined to do good for our nation.
Goans may be traditionally known to be “susegad” but in the 70s the student and youth power was a force to reckon with. On almost every issue the government had to come down on its knees. The disintegration of this very vibrant student power sadly started when political parties began having their student wings. The student voice got fragmented and so did their power. Goa needs to channelise its youth and inculcate in them a sense of responsibility to commit themselves in the State’s upliftment. On the political horizon, the youth of Goa can help in cleansing the stink in the political stables infested with opportunism, nepotism, corruption, deception, fraud, and shrewd tactics. Goa today is in the hands of some very corrupt and power-hungry politicians who would have to make way for the honest and vibrant.
