Lucknow: Sarojininagar MLA Dr. Rajeshwar Singh issued a detailed social media statement expressing serious concern and hopeful vision regarding the unprecedented global and national upheavals confronting today’s young generation. He stated that the present youth have witnessed within a single decade what previous generations did not face even in fifty years — pandemics, wars, cyberattacks, climate emergencies, mental-health challenges, and swift technological disruptions.
A Decade that Tested and Transformed the Youth
Dr. Singh cited several critical facts:
COVID-19 claimed over 15 million lives worldwide,
The global economy shrank by –3.3% in 2020,
Youth employment declined by 8.7% (ILO),
India faced more than 1.4 million cyberattacks in 2023,
Air pollution caused 6.4 million global deaths annually,
Mental-health cases rose by 25% (WHO).
He stated, “Every statistic is a warning—preparedness is protection.”
Dr. Rajeshwar Singh’s Message: This Generation Is Ready for Every Battle
Dr. Singh emphasized that the battles faced by today’s youth are no longer limited to physical borders—they are unfolding in cyberspace, climate domains, mental health, and global economic competition.
Addressing the youth, he said, “Dear young citizens, you are the architects of tomorrow. Be prepared, not scared.”
He outlined four essential directions of preparation:
Digital & AI Mastery – Understanding new technologies is the new form of security.
Environmental Responsibility – Protecting the planet is protecting the future.
Emotional & Ethical Balance – Character is the strongest shield.
National & Global Awareness – A vision that positions India for global leadership.
Dr. Singh reiterated that Character > Comfort, and that difficult times do not weaken generations—they forge stronger ones.
Message to Parents: Raise ‘Resilient Citizens’
Dr. Singh urged parents to empower their children with trust, not fear.
Encourage curiosity, dialogue, and openness about failures.
Prioritize character development alongside career goals.
A parent’s faith, he said, becomes a child’s greatest armour.
“This is the Era of India’s Youth” – Dr. Rajeshwar Singh
He stated that while earlier generations fought for India’s independence and built the foundations of nation-building, the present youth must confront digital, environmental, and ethical challenges. And this generation -Resilient, Responsible & Ready for the World—has the capability to lead India toward Vision 2047.
