How the Youth can be involved in the process of Nation Building?

1. Identification of Youth Leaders in High School/College/University through Problem Solving Method: Our country has suffered in the domain of Innovation and Leadership because our Youth do not give importance to the ‘Idea’ of problem solving; neither our Institutions offer opportunity to apply Learning in solving Real Life Problems in the society and in their immediate Habitat. Govt. could design a program around the idea of problem solving and identification of young leaders.

1. Program could be designed to Identify interested students of High School/College/University with Aptitude for Leadership; in each District Head Quarter of the country.
2. Program could allow the selected students to Identify a Pressing Problem in the Society and find solution for the same and execute the project. In this method we can address the problems relating Open defecation (Swachha Bharat), Water Conservation, Atrocities on Women, Generation of Green Cover through Plantation, Female Feticide and Pollution Control and many others respective to the habitat.
3. Such projects should be continued in a sustainable manner through successive student leaders till that nails the problem in its entirety.
4. With this method we can identify most effective young leaders through the outcome of projects, incrementally solve social problems in an organic manner and top of all generate public awareness about relevant issues and finally we open the doors for Innovation and Enterprise at a very little cost to the Public Exchequer.

2. Catalyst Youth Leaders for Governance: Our bureaucratic system was designed in the laboratory of British Empire for their own benefit and we have inherited that archaic system after our Independence without much modification. Therefore, the DNA of our bureaucracy is Imperial in nature and that is generally against Innovation-Excellence-Enterprise. We now need Young Catalyst to change the Imperial nature and Feudalistic Culture of our Bureaucracy without creating upheaval or rancor.
1. Govt. could design a program to select Young Leaders in age group of 25-35 yrs with Education, Experience with interest in Governance, Public Service and Activism.
2. Govt. should deploy such leaders for 2 years in a group of 3-5 from Prime Minister’s office to the office of District Magistrate with a mandate to optimize the Bureaucratic System with their Innovative Approach, Excellence in Execution and Entrepreneurial Mindset; that would rub off on our bureaucracy over a period of time.
3. After 2 years Govt. could retain those found suitable for bureaucracy, Facilitate those who are interested in Social/Business Enterprise and encourage those who wish to join Political Leadership.
4. With this method we can enhance the bench strength of Young Leadership.
