Youth Factor

I have an incurable disease as my friends are saying; even some of them named it “Youth factor” as I’m wasting (according to my friends) most of my time behind searching, commenting on youth network, activities and youth contribution to development and positive changes,  through my broadband internet connection.


I don’t mind as my friends tease me because it is true that, googling youth network, & youth participation is my every day routine work. At list five times a day I Google the word “youth”… and try to hold the power of this word.


“A Bangladeshi Dream builder-youth have conquered Mt. Everest; an Australian youth completed her expedition around the world through sea route within 210 days, an American teenage conquered Mt. Everest at a very youngest age, and youth contribution in promoting MDG, struggle against AIDS, Poverty, climate change, conflict and so on.” A number of charming & shaking news created by youth make me charmed, confident and increase my thirst  to do something better for my country and society.


We know that, youth are the most important factor for all kind of development and positive change. Unfortunately in my country this very crucial factor is highly ignored & most underestimated factor. Youth are the true epicenter of all hopes of the nation. To combat against all critical challenges only youth can be the real soldiers.
Psychological research tells us that our lifelong behaviors are determined in large part by the influence of our circumstances. Although we are blaming youth continuously for their wrongdoing but never recognize that their environment also responsible for their behavior. Misdoing of youth is not a problem it is a symptom. To solve a problem we must find out the problem first, not the symptoms.


It is known to everyone that our youth has a legendary role in our national history, from 1952 to 1971 they played vital role in building the fate of our nation. But now what miracle & misfortune is driving our youth in a way that is destructive? This is a million dollar question to know the answer.


After the 32 years of Independence our nation is now passing its very crucial moment, though we have achieved freedom but we failed to make it meaningful for our people as they deserve it. The true meaning of freedom that are- free from poverty, discrimination, right of education, economic freedom, cultural dominance, mental peace all are still unfulfilled.
Youth constitute a major portion of our total population; they have power, intelligence, passion and patience for a change. But question is what kind of change they will bring it actually depends on how we use and channelize the power of youth. 


Today our nation is prepared for a social and economic transformation to make our future much better and secure. To mobilize & make this transformation smooth youth can play leading role but this is the responsibility to rest to give them opportunity and make them capable for leading such a responsibility.


For the sake of making our freedom meaningful the YOUTH FACTOR must be taken into proper consideration.
Eligible, effective & efficient plan should be taken to utilize the power of youth in productive field. Steps should be taken to build youth capabilities and create opportunities for exercising their choice.


Youth are promising to bring change but their voices are bound to lose in political rhetoric and overreaction. Steps should be taken to engage youth in decision making process. Process of political participation should be more transparent and unbound to ensure youth participation.


Proper opportunity, common platform, Quality education, efficient steps to empower, positive milieu should be enacted by all responsible authority.


Without utilizing power of youth it will be impossible to realize the expectation of Freedom. So this is the right time to take right steps for utilizing youth power.
