Youth Political Participation and Problems

India is a very “young country” it is anticipated that fifty four percent of our inhabitants is below the age of 25 and rest is trying to look that way which made them important segment, and hope of the future of our country lies upon them. However youth of character, intelligence, self sacrificing can shape the destiny of the nation. Youth devoid of energy, suffering from inertia and dullness, without bravery and mental vitality are bound to lead us nowhere. Before 1947 the value based leadership channelizes the energy and power of youth in a good way and made our country free from colonial rule. And the first Lok Sabha election were held 1952 largely the young freedom fighters jumped into the electoral contests to contribute in national building task. Since then youth participation in politics and governance has declined steadily because of certain obstacles.
