Ignited in spirit, Malala was instrumental in creating global awareness of \u201cImportance of educating the girl child\u201d.

A colour pallete has various colours. All of which make a complete set. So does it hold true for us youngsters? We are the different colours in the colour pallete of the \u201cSociety\u201d. The Almighty has endowed us with bunch full of talents. All of which ought to be used for our personal good and the well-being of the society. Every adult is a whole some product of his \/ her formative years. The loopholes of past life make lasting impressions on the future roads. The development in emotional, psychological, mental and spiritual dimension of the youth is therefore of utmost importance. And is the deciding factor of the way a youngster responds to the society.<\/p>\n
\u201cSecurity\u201d is important for specially the youth to survive in the \u201cSociety\u201d. The fallacy of \u201cBelonging to a certain group\u201d can deceive them as a result of which they fall prey to certain unacceptable behaviours. Many a times causing them to stay aloof from having a prosperous future. On the contrary, being a part of NGOs, NCC, cleanliness drives, and youth wings for justice gives them a platform to use the potential of self-confidence. They feel secured and serve the society as well. Agriculture, medicine and mechanics are the other fields in science wherein the youth can well engage themselves. Research based applications are rewarding in a country like ours. Thus enabling the young minds to advance in their intellectual abilities. Finally contributing to the nationwide progress.<\/p>\n
Youngsters are expressive. By way of literature, music, dance the youth play a vital role in bringing about social awakenings.

By their instant posts on Twitter, Facebook, Instagram, WhatsApp; they have created an impact among the public. Truly appreciable.<\/p>\n
As a child I was always fascinated by the following lines of a Bollywood song \u201cPapa kehtein hai bada naam karega, beta humara aisa kam karega, magar yeh toh koi na jaane, ke meri manzil hai kahaan?\u201d Today the ball is in our court. Let us bring a change in every soul we meet, in every society, in every culture we’re drought up. As the world wide popular brand NIKE is patronized \u201cJUST DO IT\u201d.<\/p>\n
