Of present generation

Er. B.M.Kohli
Developments in the world are taking place  at a very rapid speed consequent upon the technology advancement . Many underdeveloped countries like India are also in the  race. Everybody among the average and  well to do families  do not want to miss the opportunities   and  in this process  some  among  us fall behind and fail to come of age with the advanced parameters now prevailing in society. This, of course, is natural  process and some in India desperately fall in this category. In our country the Younger  generation watching the developments all around do not want to lag behind and  jump to catch the opportunities whatever fall in their way like accepting the jobs in foreign countries, tempted with  higher perks they are offered, and  never hesitate to leave their home states. I appreciate the people who encourage to serve  their own country in whatever way they do by using their capabilities, in a way contributing for the development of our nation.   On the other hand some   parents , feeling the changing atmosphere around and oppressed to be dominated  with the impression of insecurity in the society , also feel  pulled up to throw their children in  the speeding race willingly or unwillingly. There are numerous examples where one see the wards who  failed in achieving technical degrees or medical courses, after getting (depriving genuine ones ) paid seats and then compromised with their flourishing parental business ignoring the fact that in  that way they could have become job providers. The other category which clear  their courses , by hook or crook,  get  their jobs  in government or private sector  contribute towards the reduced quality of work, may it be medical, Engineering or administrative side. This type of race is pushing our society towards  tug of war for getting salaried jobs which they feel is an independent  ( from parents ) way of making money depriving their own talents. The scenario has recently been filmed in a block buster “3 idiots” which showed the general  mind set of students and their  parents.
This particular class, appearing in the society due to such competitions, what I feel is damaging our society. And the result is evident from the increased number of  causalities due to unattended or maltreated patients in hospitals  and happenings like collapsing of roads, bridges and building infrastructures in Government sector and  growing number of corruption cases in engineering, medicines rather in every field.  In the process nobody is bothered to think seriously  regarding  this  downward trend  until and unless shoe pinches themselves and make them to feel such failure  to take timely decisions in the matters of public interests.  Outstanding performances and results are  not ruled out in every field but  a class coming up in this race is damaging general concept in the society. Recent  causalities in a UP hospital where more than 60 children died  in a span of 3 days is a shameful instance for our country. Such incidents are very common in other parts of the country.   Although every effort is being made to provide enhanced medical aid at every step by the government but the mindset of the working staff , who might have faced some difficulties like paying perks to get berth for their  training etc.  is bound to change  in case  we want to see India progressing. Regarding other sections in the society, newspapers are full of scams reported in every field these days  and even the  standards are decreasing in education institutes so much so that a matric  pass  student is unable to  write an ordinary application or solve three or four digit mathematical questions. Media has exposed many such instances where students even topped the merit list in exams.   Coming to mind set of the  certain category of generation, the youth want to achieve everything without any hard work which is required to upkeep their knowledge in schools and colleges . This , in other words means that they are forgetting and making an example to  forget the basic principles of  “Hard work always pays , and honesty is the best policy”. And this degeneration coming up in society is all due to day by day  increasing  lust for money  leading to decreasing standards which the parents and the teachers used to impart to students in their childhood, say 30-40 years ago. The other factor is dissatisfaction among the masses which is on the increase in the society and compelling the youth as well as their parents to adopt such a thinking.
Modi or no Modi factor, this is  affecting all these categories when we fail to take timely decisions in the matters of public interests. In spite of many efforts taken by him in good faith the factor of corruption is not on the decline in the service sector in spite of  the fact that no involvement  of any high-ups has been reported as compared to  UPA Government when lacs of crores of rupees were reported as mishandled in many cases. Now when  Parents want their children to live in a better world than the one they grew up in, It is of course a very serious question. When today’s children in your country are of  age how will they be doing financially compared to where you are right now? Would you say better, worse, or about the same?
