Young India

India’s below-25 population “is going to act as a secret weapon in the future,” according to a report in the Hindu.

More than 60% of Indian population is currently in their 20s. This is one of the major factors that will shape the future of India in the years to come. The young Indian population is not only young, but has tremendous entrepreneurial spirit.

The logic is simple. Fast population growth equals more young people, and more young people equals a more dynamic work force.

India produces 2.5 million IT, engineering and life sciences graduates a year, besides about 650,000 post graduates in science and IT related subjects.

The government says 402 million Indians are aged between 15 and 59 — the working age — and that this number will grow to 820 million by 2020. With an average age of 26, India is undoubtedly a younger country than China, will have the largest workforce in the world by 2020.

“But the numbers in themselves do not automatically translate into capacity,”

It is in our hands to turn the numbers into infinite capacity. You are only one, but still you are one. You cant do everything but still you can do something. A little thing may bring the revolution. So START NOW. . .

First question yourself . .

What is your part in developing your nation ?

What do you want INDIA to be in next generation ?
