Hello everyone,

I agree with all of your point of view, but in my point of view, the youth of India is more confused due to the educational system as well as youth have no power to make their own decisions. Youth is confused about which field he/she choose according to their parents of view because parents taught us that importance of money is more in this competitive world without money you not able to survive in this upcoming costly environment due to this youth not able to chase there dreams or passion of doing work.

Youth loss their interest in a field where he/she forcefully entered due to this many of youth end their life.

So, basically, we gave some freedom of choice to youth to chase their interest of field without listening to society, what society thought is not in our hands. Let them think what they thought. Youth is just followed their area of interest and be proud of themselves so that confidence comes automatically.

Thank you.

Hello guys,

In this challenging world, our youth is both, confident as well as confused, and perhaps a healthy mixture of both is necessary for them to take the best decision for their life. After all, overconfidence is as bad as excessive confusion, both ultimately only yielding stress.

So According to me, today's youth is both confused and confident. They are confused because they are not able to decide their field for a career, many of the youth have left their field of interest because of high competition and social pressure, like dancing, acting playing games, etc. So now they have many same fields to choose for their career. But except this, they are much confident that they can do anything.

Hi everyone,

This is Shayan Sabri.

In my opinion, the youth of India is more confused than confident. I am giving an example if someone had taken engineering by their choice and thought that he will get a government job but result time he realised after getting his graduation there is very few opportunities in government sector job. All the psu, as well as ESE examination, is seized by the government and given to the private sector. At that time due to very good competition as well as corruption how a poor or a middle-class family could get more confident.

But in the present scenario, NEP has been introducing by the government in 2023 actually this is a good decision by the government where students would have an option to take subject to own their choice so that in future that student would make their own start-up/own business. As we know it is not possible for everyone to get a job in the government sector so someone might get a job in the private sector and pursue their career in that field and being confident.

Thank you!

Hello everyone,

According to me, the youth of India is confident but at the same time confused, because of our education system and society. They are made confused by society and parents. Especially after 10th and 12th, they are not allowed to make their decisions. Eg if a person wants to make a career in sports, parents would not allow him. They are forced to do what they don't want to do.

And of course, our education system should be repaired or change first. Not always marks are going to be matter. School and colleges should teach practical knowledge instead of giving works like writing and learning questions and answers etc.

Given the rigid education system of India, youth no matter how hard they try to be well informed they end up being confused. Lack of fruitful seminars, workshops, awareness, the practicality of things has restricted their creative minds and a pause to their career growth. The time which they should probably invest in exploring and analysing what's best for them, the energy is diverted or rather say exhausted in enhancing academic results. Their choices, dreams have to conform with social norms, consequently, they end up switching from one career to others.

It's difficult for them to figure out what they actually want in life, what is that they aspire for? several questions with no appropriate answers.

More people more advices, varied advices which end up enhancing their dilemma. By the age they should be confident, supporting their family, contributing towards nation's GDP they are doubting themselves whether they made the right choices in life? Where they would be able to continue in that field for a lifetime?

Like, I said infinite questions, confusion.

Well, we can just hope the current changes in the education system makes youth more confident and pave way for developed India.

According to me, youths are confident but somewhere they are confused. Youth have the willpower to do anything but confusion begins after 10th and 12th standard because students need to take streams in which they are interested or their skills can utilize maximum. So that they can become confident after their studies. Confusion happens when they don't follow their own choices and hear from others. Colleges help youngsters to build confidence and support their choices. Confusion is due to lack of job opportunities and communication skills. Thereafter students need to choose courses not for interest instead of for getting jobs which are having more opportunities in-country now. Students get confused on how to survive in this competitive world. But there is no need for becoming literate just for the sake of the name. I think a developed country can provide good job opportunities and hence increase the confidence of youngsters. Youth get respect and confidence when they have quite good communication skills and knowledge. Certainly, the government can initiate different campaigns related to career options for educated people which can help them to choose wisely. Youth have multiple goals in life but don't know how to achieve it, they need to set their priorities and prepare themselves for that. Nowadays, we have the biggest tool of social media through which we can reach different personalities. Youth need to follow a timetable and cut short time for mobile phone usage to the required to achieve success. We should think like a problem solver and when the majority of us will become an entrepreneur or will be doing good jobs, then we need to create jobs and try to generate employment as much we can. Every individual should have a fire for doing something for the nation to make it prosperous and beautiful again.

Hey Everyone,

According to me it would be like Today's Youth is confident but they are made confused due to their situations and surrounding society and parents even. Though today's youth is confident on their decision they were not allowed to take the practical step to that and he is been forced to study or do something else out of their interest and this is why I said Youth is confident but it is the society and the parents who are making them confused. For example, A person wants to study environmental studies and do research to save environment and animals, but what parents and society gonna say is "what!? is that and all a prefession in which you get nothing ah! no money a useless passion!" This is gonna be the thing that is being said so from there that person is gonna get confused that is passion is important or running beahind money? There he becomes confused and starts taking wrong decisions. Even it is like some of the youth is also taking wrong decisions voluntarily like in life. Our Youth becomes confident only when the society and parents understand the youth's will.

Thank You guys!

Indian youth is confused, because the traditional education system is academics oriented. If a child is interested in Environmental studies, he will devote his time to that subject and its research. But due to exams, he is continually under pressure of scoring well, so that he can be promoted to higher class. Doing what you despise is the worst job ever. The ways to nurture a child for his overall development, keeping in mind his innocence can be learnt from orphanages and various NGOs out there. Every child's dream is recognized there. We can't expect anything from the Government, they are just a group of people, solely in love with power, and money. Can a mark sheet decide our future, our examination was our Past, who knows our inner talent & skills in Present? Parents are not to be blamed, they have surrendered themselves to the current scenario; for admission in a good college, you require good marks, for getting jobs in a good company, you require a good college. And this can only happen when you have excelled in academics in your school.

Coming to the solution, Schools should be FREE from EXAMS. Children should not be burdened with unnecessary judgements because of marks. There should be assignments, but which only focus on learning, not marks. Youth must not be pressurized, must feel free to do what they really like, libraries and educational portals should be promoted. Seminars can be arranged by school authorities, about various careers, social problems, and how to make this world a better place.

And everyone should work on this-parents, teachers, even everyone participating in this discussion.

Because "if we want a better Society, we must start from the Children. ".

I think Indian youth is more confused than others. Because he has no liberty to take decision due to society. He has to do what society want. I think this is a big doubt for our development. He should take decision in odd circumstances. This is the only solution for it. Today many crimes are the result of confusion. He should take decision in his mind power. Today many youth do suicide. That is the influence of low confidence.
