NATIONAL YOUTH POLICY

 

Why in news?

The Government has reviewed the existing National Youth Policy, 2014 and prepared a new draft of National Youth Policy (NYP), which has been placed in public domain.  The policy would be finalized after deliberations on received suggestions/comments and multi stake holders consultations.

 

Importance:

·       The draft NYP envisages a ten-year vision for youth development that India seeks to achieve by 2030. It is aligned with Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) and serves to ‘unlock the potential of youth to advance India’.

·       The NYP seeks to catalyze widespread action on youth development on five priority areas viz. education; employment & entrepreneurship; youth leadership & development; health, fitness & sports; and social justice.

·       Each priority area is underpinned by the principle of social inclusion keeping in view of the marginalized sections.

 

The details of the benefits and objectives envisaged in the draft National Youth Policy are given below:

1.    The policy draws a detailed roadmap towards the vision outlined for the youth in the coming decade and delineates the actions within each priority area.

2.    The policy envisions an education system in sync with National Education Policy, 2020 that imparts career opportunities and life skills to all young people. It ensures that the youth have access to sustainable livelihood opportunities that encourages them to stay within and revive the rural economy, generate employment via micro-region-specific strategies, foster entrepreneurship and social entrepreneurship, and support the informal and emerging gig economy.

3.    To develop India’s youth, both men and women, as leaders of tomorrow, the policy prescribes strengthening the volunteering ecosystem, expanding opportunities for leadership development and mobilising technology to establish a vibrant youth enablement platform. Further efforts for the inclusion of marginalised and disadvantaged youths in volunteering and leadership opportunities are identified.

4.    The health and well-being of the youth, especially young women of reproductive age, will be ensured by strengthening preventative and palliative healthcare, especially for mental health, substance abuse disorders and sexual and reproductive health issues that are critical among this demographic. The policy purports a progressive and essential approach to mobilising technology and data to improve healthcare delivery and specific interventions to provide the marginalised youth with access to quality healthcare. The policy also proposes strengthening the overall fitness of youth by building a vibrant culture of sports and fitness.

5.    The policy outlines actions that will empower the youth and ensure their safety, strengthen the legal system for the quick delivery of justice and provide holistic support for the rehabilitation of juveniles. Special efforts are prescribed to ensure social justice for marginalised and vulnerable youths.

6.    The policy is a roadmap for the development of youth today to ensure a bright future for India tomorrow. This national-level framework will be adopted by states that will formulate their youth policies to serve the development needs of the region. The policy prescribes the necessary actions for various ministries in line with the respective thematic area.

अंतिम ऊँचाई by Kunwar Narayan

  अंतिम ऊँचाई   कितना स्पष्ट होता आगे बढ़ते जाने का मतलब अगर दसों दिशाएँ हमारे सामने होतीं ,                 हमारे चारों ओर नहीं। कितना आसान होता चलते चले जाना यदि केवल हम चलते होते                बाक़ी सब रुका होता।   मैंने अक्सर इस ऊलजलूल दुनिया को दस सिरों से सोचने और बीस हाथों से पाने की कोशिश में अपने लिए बेहद मुश्किल बना लिया है।   शुरू - शुरू में सब यही चाहते हैं कि सब कुछ शुरू से शुरू हो , लेकिन अंत तक पहुँचते - पहुँचते हिम्मत हार जाते हैं। हमें कोई दिलचस्पी नहीं रहती कि वह सब कैसे समाप्त होता है जो इतनी धूमधाम से शुरू हुआ था                हमारे चाहने पर।   दुर्गम वनों और ऊँचे पर्वतों को जीतते हुए जब तुम अंतिम...

समुद्र की मछली by Kunwar Narayan

  समुद्र की मछली   बस वहीं से लौट आया हूँ हमेशा अपने को अधूरा छोड़कर जहाँ झूठ है , अन्याय है , कायरता है , मूर्खता है — प्रत्येक वाक्य को बीच ही में तोड़ - मरोड़कर , प्रत्येक शब्द को अकेला छोड़कर , वापस अपनी ही बेमुरौव्वत पीड़ा के एकांगी अनुशासन में किसी तरह पुनः आरंभ होने के लिए।   अख़बारी अक्षरों के बीच छपे अनेक चेहरों में एक फ़र्क चेहरा अपराधी की तरह पकड़ा जाता रहा बार - बार अद्भुत कुछ जीने की चोर - कोशिश में :   लेकिन हर सज़ा के बाद वह कुछ और पोढ़ा होता गया , वहीं से उगता रहा जहाँ से तोड़ा गया , उसी बेरहम दुनिया की गड़बड़ रौनक़ में गुँजाइश ढूँढ़ता रहा बेहयाई से जीने की। किसी तरह बची उम्र खींचकर दोहरा ले एक से दो और दो से कई गुना , या फिर घेरकर अपने को किसी नए विस्तार से इतना छोटा कर ले जैसे मछली और इस तरह शुरू हो फिर कोई दूसरा समुद्र ..
